After After

yigitore were welcomed. Roll
011"Row our Township could

cords this year.
Several members had

Women's Institute Rally in
Centralia October 1 and Mrs.
Tait Clark gave a full and in-
teresting report of the Women's
institute Area Convention in
London, Nov, 7 and 8.
Mrs. Bessie Moore, gave
such food for thought in the
translation of the motto "Take
time to stop at the Wonders-
Everywhere". She spoke of the
wonders of modern travelling,
science, television, medicine,
construction, etc. and the won-
ders of th'e simple things
around, a beautiful sunset or
sunrise, the- fleecy white clouds
in a blue sky, the trees, flowers,
the song of the bird, the
laughter of children and even
ourselves.
"What a wonderful world
Ind we are in the midst," she
said.
Mrs. K. DeGroot introduced
Hugh Hill who talked about
people he knew years agp-and
happenings and changes since
his boyhood years. Reminiscing
on especially the Benmiller
district proved very interesting
to all, when he remarked that
when he was a boy the place of
Benmiller was always referred
to as "The Hollow" where they
went for the mail, groceries,
and which was a hive of in-
dustry, making apple butter,
the Madill's Tannery, Pfrim-
mers .Mill, Gledhill's Woollen
Mill and the Blacksmith shop.
There was plenty of entertain-
ment and strong community
life. In latter years this was
called "Benmiller".
He noted progress in
methods of farming, the horses
and then the tractors with the
three,sto four furrow plough apd
now the younger generation
think nothing of the seven and
eight furrow plough, Mr. Hill
said.
He remarked on progress in
the silo filling which at first
was a back breaking job and
now has become so
mechanized.
Mr. Hill, who is known to
many, has a very keen mind
and a good sense of humor and
it was a joy to turn the pages of
history and learn something of
what another generation en-
joyed and to see what they
strove for.
Mrs. George McBride in-
troduced Mrs. Dave Goddard
of Goderich who gave an in-
teresting demonstration on
wall'plaques made from plaster,
