ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION Br. 420 ANNUAL NEW YEAR'S DA NCE at the BLYTH COMMUNITY CENTRE Tickets '9.00 per person advance 610.00 at the door if available LUNCH PROVIDED Proceeds to Community Work h by in a big way Joann MacDonald of Blyth likes to keep busy. This active lady is not the type to sit in front of the television all day and night without some project on the go. Joann does enjoy some afternoon television, but she does it with one eye on the set and another on her favorite hobby, crocheting. To simply say that Joann crochets is an understatement. This Blyth resident crochets in a big way and she held an open house at her Morris Street home on Dec. 2 to show her handiwork. Christmas shoppers were amazed to see the selection of work this ambitious craft- swoman had for sale. One room in her home was liter y filled with hundreds of crocheted it s, made to suit all tastes. No patte appears. to be beyond Joann's talents. r open house inventory included more than half -a -dozen afghans in various colors and designs. There were pillows, baby and doll clothes, hats and scarves, Christmas decorations, crocheted flowers, fridge magnets, coasters, plant and candy, holders, table cloths, pot holders, finger puppets, vests and sweaters, unique coffee mug warmers and children's crayon holders. Already many have discovered Joann's special handmade items and she often has an order list to be filled. This year Joann attended craft shows in Ripley and Wingham, featured her work at the Goderich flea markets and the Thresher Reunion in Blyth and found the experiences fun, not tiring. Crocheting for Joann is not a money making venture. She does bring in enough profits to help buy more yarn, but her main objective is to meet people and enjoy a hobby. Judging from her impressive display of handmade items and the excellent response to her first open house, it appears that Joann MacDonald is succeeding. Brussels principal dies Kenneth Ashton Kenneth L. Ashton, a longtime resident of Brussels, died in Wingham and District Hospital on Nov. 28. Mr. Ashton came to Bruseels in Jan. 1932 as principal of Brussels Public School, after having taught in Huron County rural schools and in Blyth. He continued as principal until his retirement in 1967. Mr. Ashton, the last remaining member of the family of Mr. and Mrs. George Ashton, was born in Howick Township on May 22, 1902.

Both in and out of school, Mr. Ashton took a great interest in his pupils, many of whom continued to higher eduction because of his encouragement. The funeral service was held on Nov. 30 at the M.L.

Rural Southwestern Ontario's answer to Erma Bombeck A farmer's wife has no easy task, but rural southwestern Ontario's answer to Er- ma Bombeck takes a humorous look at the relationship between the farmer and his wife. Well-known Rural Voice columnist and author of "A Farmer Takes A Wife", Giselle Ireland of R.R. 2 Teeswater, provided a look at the lighter side of rural life at the Perth Federation of Agriculture's annual meeting Nov. 21 in Mitchell. "Signs should be put on all our rural sideroads - `Dangerous to young girls' future'," said the former city girl who is married to a Bruce County beef producer. Several phases in a farm wife's life starts with a "we're going to set the world on fire" attitude, immediately following the mar- riage. • "We did," deadpanned the author, com- menting.on a barn fire experienced by the Ireland family in their early married years. The' second phase is the child-rearing period. Farm mothers buy used carriages because, said Mrs. Ireland, they only go - SPECIAL - Fresh CRUSTY ROLLSdozen BAKERY PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE EVERY FRIDAY & SATURDAY at the BLYTH MEAT MARKET Blyth 523-4551 Remember When GIVE A GIFT OF THE PAST Canadian Country Made FOLK ART Tor all your decorating needs. 72WEATHER VANES Primitive Barnmade Roosters Carousel Horses, etc. Bialosky Teddy Bear The only real authorized reproduction of jointed antique original.

"No farm woman buys a new buggy. What for? The only place she can take.it is up and down the gravel road." Reflecting for a moment on the serious side of rearing children on a farm, she said safety is a common problem. The farm woman is the only working woman who takes her children to work with her and ways of keeping them safe have to be found, the mother of four said. When the last child has gone off to school and women realize "you forgot the Oil of Olay and your cargo has shifted", is'the third phase. Differences between men and women on the farm are illustrated by the rainy day parties which start with one farmer bring- ing a farm implement over for repairs and end up with a yard full of tractors and wives calling on the telephone. Then, there is the gardening. "There is an unwritten law on a rusty hoe somewhere that says women have to have a garden". Gardening should be relatively simple on a farm if the farmer husband tills the garden with the plow. So what does he do? Mrs. Ireland said he uses the five furrow plow to till the garden while at the same time knocking over the fence and ripping up part of the lawn. She is now working on a second book about how farm women cope with their men. Dam repairs less costly than expected WINGHAM - The cost of emergency repairs to the Howson Dam in Wingham will be substantially lower than expected. The contract for grouting a cavity under the dam and building a cutoff wall to stop undermining was awarded last week to McLean -Taylor Construction of St. Marys for $46,250. Although a number of extras being added to the contract may push the final price upward to about $55,000, the basic bid is well below both the original estimate of $80,000 and a revised estimate of $60,000. rusk: eLea/riS2ss 1981 OLDS REGENCY 4 dr air 4 1981 FORD FAIRMONT • WAGON, air 1980 ASPEN 2 dr Special viiak Remember When...
