(photo by Rim mer ) Wearers have busy year The year 1981 has been an exciting year so far for the Huron Tract Spinners and Weavers Guild. Several new members have joined and each month's program has been in the charge of a dif- ferent group of, two or three members, giving everyone a chance to make a contribu- tion to •a varied and in- teresting program. Highlights of these first six months include the puchase of a table loom which can be rented by members for. workshops. A workshop is set for September 12 to learn thetechniquesofweaving on such articles as barnboard, wicker, cardboard, etc. with instructor, Joyce Rummy of Gormley, Ontario. The August meeting is to be held at the farm of John Kerr near Brussels on Satur- day, August 15 and will take the form of a ' `Dye,in". Ruth Knight of Goderich has volunteered to weave on one of the old looms in the Huron County Museum for Tiger Dunlop "Days in. August. Georgina Huts of Listowel has volunteered to spin at the Point Farms Park Pioneer Days, also in August. At the March meeting, Pat Lee of Goderich showed slides of the 1980 Guild ex- hibition held at Benmiller while Ruthann Smith, also of Goderich, modelled and discussed the making of a jacket . she had woven after first spinning the yarn, dye- ing her patterend yarn with onion skins 'and weaving and assembling, showing a neat way of joining the sections. The April meeting was in the charge of Jane Klages and Sharon Fitzjames of Goderich. It featured a display of the member's winter projects with Jane demonstrating several frame loom techniques and Sharon leading a discussion on the best way to weave a new seat fora chair she had. Toni . Vos of Blyth, presi- dent of the Guild, well - experienced in weaning jackets, showed various methods of finishing, demonstrating a number of bindings and giving the members a chance to try the latter. Georgina Huls, an ex- perienced spinner; discussed dyeing with various kitchen products such as tumeric, blueberries, etc., an idea which she had from a new Canadian craft magazine. The June meeting was in charge of the Ripley members and was a joint meeting with the Ripley area spinning group held at the home of Wilma Sutton. She and Alma Gillies had ar- ranged a sheep shearing for their program. Evelyn Hardy and Sharon Brown of Goderich took the July meeting with the topic "children's weaving". Such methods- as' "God's eyes" and weaving on looms using drinking • straws, styrofoam meat trays, cardboard circles and metal circles were displayed and members we're given a chance to try some of the methods. Children's basketry was also shown. Sharon showed an overshot weaving she had done for an antique , radio her husband had refinished and modelled several woven jackets. The meeting closed with slides and a talk of weaving highlights on a trip through the New England States and New Jersey taken • by Evelyn. The Guild expects to take part in the Ripley Fall Fair and the Van Egmond Ciderfest in September and their own third annual ex- hibition at Benmiller is November 7 and 8.

Love does not demand its own way. It is not -irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about in - j ustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone you' will be loyal to him no /natter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him. All the special gifts and powers from God will some day come to an end, but love goes on forever. • Return of the Curlew When Fred Bodsworth wrote his book Last of the Curlews in 1954, the Eskimo curlew., he described was believed to be extinct. But it wasn't the East curlew. Ornithologists saw a pair in August 1976, on James Bay, •the first recorded in Canada in more than 100 years. And one was seen on May 21, 1980, on Lake Manitoba .

It's a fact Even animals have image problems Animals have had sym- bolic natures tacked onto them from ancient times. Modern writers like Farley Mowat have tried with limited success to cha nge the image of some of the more maligned creatures, but a symbol is difficult to defeat.
