First of September and a new
season starts. For some reason,
at the beginning of this week the
tourist and beach spots seemed
strangely, quiet. I don't know if
people had gone home, 'stayed
home or had gone sho.pping�;,•..=but
nothing seemed right - it wais all
too, too quiet.
_.There . are a #neat many plans
for a busy holiday ,weekend as
you will notice, as you read the
paper from one end to the other
- without stopping. So, 1[ expect
the crowds will be back in Town
and I hope everyone enjoys their
last:'fling.
This has been a very busy ,
summer for just about everyone
I know - including Me and I
can't say . that 1 really KNOW
4me!
I stop and think of all the
things 1 DIDN'T get done and
that just floors_ me, but 'when I
think of what HAS happened in
the last few months I am
surprised that I have come thro'
it so well - and that is no
✓ exaggeration.
.`l" lturn to one of the good
things that happened this
summer - not to me, but to
many young folks here• in
Goderich - the YEW has been a
Godsend. YOUTH
ENVIRONMENT WORKSHOP.
The young people who have
attended the Workshop and the
many functions planned by our
two very capable leaders, are all
speaking well : for the program
'and wish to see it continue thro'
the winter months.
You may think the summer
program should stop at the end
of summer? Perhaps is should -
it remains to be seen, but it
seems there is "not foo muchato
do for many youngsters who are
•not.. taken up with athletic
programs, and those who wish to
carry on with craf, this winter
should have the chance. •
There, REALLY' should be a
continuing program set up and
carried out for the full year, not
"just the summer fill-in, so I hope
• something can be done about it. •
With school taking up the
daytime hours - as it should -.
it leaves the Workshop open for
adults to take advantage of
many interesting classes that can
be arranged.
There . ,has been many
suggestions and many young
marrieds have said they would
like to learn certain crafts,during
the daytime hours so that 'they
can be home with their children
in the evenings.
I think this is GREAT - we
can get the teachers if we know
the crafts you are interested in.
Sewing, weaving and that sort
of things not possible as
equipment would have to be
lugged back and forth, (unless it
was on a small scale).
But in leather craft - "those
beautiful hand tooled purses etc.
which are so expensive to buy -
could be made -- by you - for a
very few dollars and many hours
of pleasant work.
Or candle making - think of
all the beautiful and
DIFFERENT candles you've
seen in, the magazines lately, -
many of them are not out of
your reach.
Another very popular
'handcraft these days is macrame
sort of finger `.`knittin' and
•Knottin" work that gets
beautiful results.
Rug making - there are many
ways to make a r.ug.
And those . fantastic bed
RK
OOTS
spreads with the beautiful colors
and quilting - you could easily
get started on THAT.
You have other ideas that we
would like to hear about.
A, p-rogram;' director is
available, ready and waiting to
organize -these craft. sessions if
you will only indicate your
desires. _._-
You, can,:call Bob -Gough' at
the Workshop -.or stop in and
see him (Corner of East -Cambria
Itds.) the phone is 524-6156.
1, too, am interested and if
you wish to talk to me about
At last!.
this 1 will certainly paps your
ideas along.
Martha.
P.S: You know that boo-boo
about the millionaires $5000.00
yacht -?- someone mistook my
$ for a dollar sign T and instead
Of 85'it turned up as 5 - was my
face red.
The folks I was talking about'
were on their way home but
most of the 'sailing craft at the
harbour 'would be worth lots
, more than $5,000 - but as one
girl -said - "THAT looked like a
lot of -money to me!"

she Was pleased everyone would

"The two year agreement will

She also said she was satisfied

"Everyone is pretty happy,"
