A committee was named and Helen Cooper, Aileen Staddon, Marg Coventry and Bep Greydanus will look after setting up a booth at the fair. It was suggested that draws be held for a -quilt, afghans and other items. Mrs. Staddon donated a crewel work picture of her own design as a prize: President Ruth Bond read ' some thoughtfulful words of medical missionary Dr. Robert McClure. He said that undesirable excesses are created by affluence and Canadians are passing through a negative stage, resulting in much pessfmisn and cynicism, particularly with regard to success. One should assume a positive attitude, he suggested. Auxiliary members are going to see a demonstration of the new central station patient monitor. The modern equipment was .recently bought for the hospital and the Auxiliary donated $4,500 to help pay for it. A notice of the spring conference was read. It will be held in the Exeter Arena raising events on April 27 and Peggy Menzies will chair a discussion on awards and merits. Jacqui Lewis will be leading a workshop on in- service programs.

The Middels and nine of their 10 children made the cross continentjourney from Holland to Canada in 1950 and lived in the Auburn area for several years: Mr. and Mrs. Middel now live in Clinton. (Shelley McPhee photo) years goes quickly Still seems seem$ like yesterday By Shelley McPhee It was not an easy decision, .to leave a home, family • and friends. But Reindeer and Janna Middel • took a -chance on the future, and with their nine children, embarked on a journey that would change the rest of their lives. Thatlong, trying voyage on the,S.S. Waghinggon didn't appear to damage the relationship. between Mr. and Mrs. Middel. Instead they worked ,hard together, raisings their family, lean n ng, m e and. Nowa. some 30 years after. moving from. Holland. to Canada, Mr. • and Mrs. Midden; live comfortably in" their.. Mary Street home in Clinton. They enjoy a closeness to their children, 26 grandchildren and one great grandchild, and recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Middel were married in Holland on February 28, 1930 and there they continued to make their home and give birth to nine of their 10 children, Mr. Middel worked in the family shipping business, but it offered few opportunities for • his growing family. Like thousands of other Dutch families, the Middels moved to Canada because of economic reasons. After World War .II,- immigration was stressed in Holland because the country was Overcrowded and the op- portunities were too few for the upcoming generations. The cross continent move was not easy and Mr. Midden remembered, "We didn't know where we would land, in the prairies orin Ontario." The Middens finally settled in Essex . County and later moved between Listowel and Auburn where Mr.. Middel ' and his sons • worked and owned dairy farms and broiler chicken operations. Ten years ago, they retired to their Clinton home where Mr. Middel enjoys gardening and doing handywork around his home. While the Middels have returned to Holland to visit old friends and relatives, Canada is now their home and in Clinton they hold a bond with many of their Dutch -Canadian neighbors through the Clinton Christian Church. The Middens also enjoy the Zeta Omegas look at food additives The members of the Zeta Omega , chapter of . Beta Sigma Phi met on February 17th at .Marguerite Falconer's, who presented an informative program on the use of preservatives and additives in foods. The chapter also received a thank -you note from Doug 'Coventry -for the group's magazine subscription to the hospital waiting room. Each year, Beta Sigma Phi International sends money fromits International Endowment Fund to various charities. This year, the Zeta Omega chapter voted to have the .money sent to Toronto Sick Children's Hospital and Rhye's Syn- drome Research. The social committee reported that the Valentine's dinner and dance was en- joyed by the eight couples who attended. President Mary Marsh even made yellow rose stied: pins for the members. The service committee has been notified by the Cancer Society that the daffodils (which the sorority sells) will arrive on April 3. On February 24 the 'two Clinton chapters of Beta Sigma Phi met at Mari Dob - son's. Constable Goss of the poderich OPP detachment brought a slide presentation on the use and abuse of drugs. His talk was very in- formative ,and many members'found the extent of the problem alarming. After the program the Zeta Omega Chapter went to Liz Warren's for a short business meeting. The service committee will meet on March 3 to plan this year's sale of daffodils for the Cancer Society. The ways and means committee provided a list of what each member should bring to the dance at the Clinton Com - inanity Centre' on March 28th. Tickets are still available from any sorority member at $15 per couple.
