There was emotion and ex- citement at the opening ceremony when the piper, playing the "Regal Salute", led Mrs. Westebring-Muller and Lieut. Governor, Hon. Henry P. Bell -Irving of B.C. and honored guests to the platform. Fifty-three flags of the different countries were carried in by 4-H boys and girls and placed at the back of the platform.

Senator Martha Bielish of Alberta welcomed the guests who came from every conti- nent and from the Arctic and Antarctic, on behalf of the 140,000 members of Women's Institutes and Societies in Canada. During the conference, the delegates, many wearing their native costumes, blend- ed together, made friends, discussed problems, pro- jects, study and made deci- sions. Delegates learned of the ACWW projects in the developing countries and were made aware that the problem of hunger in the world is growing. The aim of ACWW is to educate and to combat disease and poverty. One project for the 80s is "Fresh Water and Sanitation For All."

He told the story of ,Jesus' instructions to the Diciples to go out and preachto the people and ways in which we might govern our own.. ,lives.

The residents had a super pie social on Tuesday af- ternoon with many different kinds of pies from which to choose. Our only regret. we ran out of pies. Thanks is extended to Helen Bradley who baked.

To the family of the late Mr. Norman Walker, a resident at Huronview, the residents express their sincere sympathy. ily searchers A regular meeting of the Huron County Genealogical Society was held July 6 with several guests attending. Research Co-ordinator, Nancy Kale, read queries from people searching the following families: Kruse, Dorsey, Johnston, Boyce, Madora-Keyes, Munroe, Peacock, Roach and Hamilton. Anyone having any information on these families is please asked to call Nancy at 345-2908. Cemetery Co-ordinator, Alison Lobb, advised that school groups from Seaforth and Brucefield had assisted in the recording at three cemeteries during June and their help was a most valuable asset. Alison also advised that she had recently spent some time instructing three students hired by Grey Township to record three cemeteries in their area. Upon Completion of their work, the Branch will receive a copy of each: It was noted that an in- significant number of people had turned out for the cemetery recording picnic held June 26 at Clinton Cemetery. Due to the almost complete lack of volunteers to help in this area, the Cemetery Committee has decided that no large cemeteries will be un- dertaken in the foreseeable future as the work involved is unreasonable to ask of two or three persons. This is indeed unfortunate as cemetery records are a most useful tool for anyone doing genealogical research. If anyone out there wishes to assist, please call Alison at 482-7167. Remember, you don't need to be a member to help! Mystery prize for the evening was a lovely rose stickpin won by Myrtle Johnstone of Goderich. The education segment of the meeting featured Elaine McKinnon of Fordwich presenting her report from the Ontario Genealogical Society's Seminar '83 held in Sudbury this past May. Elaine reported that although attendance was down somewhat from past years, the entire weekend was a thoroughly enjoyable and most informative event. It was extremely well organized which is a great asset. All presentations by guest speakers will appear in the Fall '83 issue of "Families" but one area of great and immediate in- terest to anyone doing research was a lecture by Ryan Taylor, Supervisor of Oral history and the Kit- chener Public Library. Taylor's topic was "Inter- viewing". He stressed: 1) that you should remember that your objective is to obtain information so plan ahead, outline what in- formation you need, have some questions written down; 2) don't have a rigid questionnaire - allow for interaction and incidental information and make sure that you record all this material; 3) hold the in- terview in their surrounding as they will be more com- fortable; 4) set the time and place; and 5) begin with simple questions to show that they do remember things - when and where they were born, information on brothers and sisters, etc. Mr. Taylor noted that one must be an amateur psychologist when resear- ching in order to understand people and make them comfortable. He states that there are three different types of people - the clam, the average talker and the chatterbox. Clams are silent for different reasons: some eed inf wish to be discrete, some are modest about th'lr knowledge. He suggests that you use simple language as much as ; : s ssible and refer to the relationship at all times to make the interview more comfortable (example, Uncle John). Remember, flattery never hurts - be impressed with knowledge offered even if already known. Chatterboxes must be dealt with differently. Don't let them know that you're not interested when they get off track. Remember that they are doing you a favour and your time is their price for the interview so allow plenty of time. Let them choose their own pace as many people won't remember if pushed. Remember to check all dates, names and places after an interview. Even the best memory can fail at the most inconvenient moments. It's also important to listen to answers and really hear what is being said. Under- tones often give information not actually stated but if questioned carefully, may come out. Don't be shocked by anything you hear - every family has a skeleton in the closet somewhere - accept all information calmly. Regular monthly meetings of the Genealogical Society are held the first Wednesday of each month in the board room of the Assessment Office building, Napier Street, Goderich. Parking and entrance are at the rear. The August 3 meeting will feature Jean Lobb of Clinton with her slides from last fall's trip to Ireland. (Janet Amos based her play "Wild Irish Rose" on this trip). Guests are most welcome. For information phone Alison Lobb, 482-7167. Homemakers receive grants The board of directors of Town and Country Homemakers were very pleased to learn at the June meeting that grants have been received from the villages of Bayfield and Hen - sell. Paul Steckle, Huron County representative to the' board, also announced that at grant has been approved) from Stanley Township. The meeting was chaired by first vice-chairman Thea Trick 'who reported on the Huron County Health Day held at Clinton. "There were many displays from the Health Unit which were well - organized," she said, "but the attendance was poor". Directors of Town and Country Homemakers reported that they found the orientation meeting by the Program and Evaluation Committee very useful. A decision was made by the board of directors to pay $14,051 on the mortgage, thus leaving a balance of $8,849. Executive Director Jean Young reported on the Cana- dian Council on Homemakers Services Con- ference held June 9 - 11 in Montreal. She conducted three workshops there on "Structuring, Funding and Public Relations in a Rural Agency". She also reported that a special C.B.C. Pro- gram will be presented in the fall on Homemaker Services in Ontario by the Ontario Association of Visiting Homemakers Services.

The agency's fee was included in the restraint program, restricting it to a five per- cent increase which only covers increases in U.I.C. and Workmen's Compensa- tion. Young went on to say that many agencies in Ontario feel they may not survive this year and certainly not next year if the restraint pro- gram continues. A meeting is being arranged by the On- tario Association of Visiting Homemakers Services and Premier Davis' office with the Ministry of Community and Social Services to discuss these concerns.
