Member Carole Robinson of Goderich was
the featured speaker for the evening and her
presentation focused on The Uses of
Calligraphy in Genealogy. Carole advised
that writing, in the widest sense, is
everything that can be turned into a spoken
account of which the fundamental . purpose
is to convey ideas. Writing grew out of in-
dependent origins at different places and
in various epochs of history. Every
primitive people ' hod a°:language and
something resembling writing,, an early
stage of actual writing or a substi,.tute. Stone
mementos.were erected to recall the events
of history: courier staffs, which had been
designfully, carved,: were sent through the
country ahead of war party; sticks or
Pieces of wood served as account sheets, the
reckoning being given by the number of cut-
in notches and their pattern; the Incas of
Peru conveyed information by means of the
Qui.ppu, a varicoloured complex of knotted
strings; and the American Indians used the
wampum belt to commemorate their
treaties and bargains.
Such substitutes for writing have main-
tained themselves in various parts of the
world until our own time. Many symbols off
daily life : the barber's pole, the three balls
above the pawnshop - are related to early
stages of the development of writing.
Further developroent grew out of pictures,
born out of the natural urge to imitate. The
greatest step was the invention of phonetic
writing. The Egyptians are remarkable in
having evolved it practically entirely during
the latter apart of their cultural history.
Three stages of writing' - ideographs,
phonographs and alphabetic symbols were
used simultaneously in the later writing: the
Egyptians never altogether discontinued
-any one method but carried- the "olddalong -
with the new., With other peoples of the
Mediterranean, the situation was different.
Alphabets were passed from one people to
another; receiving people could 'build on -the
foundations of those who gave. And on and•
on through the ages in all the different lands
• until we reach the present time.
Calligraphy is called the art of beautiful
handwriting. And it certainly is. It makes
your workstand• out among others - it makes
you feel good to look'at it and to have others
appreciate it. We still look back at the old
writings and find uses for thein in many of
the things we do. Genealogy provides many
uses for various types of calligraphy. When
gettiag your family history books ready for
pubksliing, many forms of calligraphy are
available for use in your title page. It makes
your book truly distinctive and very profes-
sional looking. Many people insert a poem
relating to genealogy in the front of their
book somewhere and if done in calligraphy,
it will certainly stand out. Pictorial line
charts are done using photographs instead
off just names. The photographs add a
special something that names on paper
don't - and having the names for each done
in calligraphy just makes it that much nicer.
Special photos in your book may just be
calling for a special Italic caption.
Family • reunion certificates are also a
very special memento to p ere to family
members. Calligraphy may also
for
headings in a variety of ways - in your fami-
ly tree book, in bulletins, genealogical an-
nouncements, etc. Anywhere you want to
draw attention in a special, attractive way.
Carole had samples of her work, in alt
these areas, on display along with a number
of books on the various styles of calligraphy.
Also on Band was a photographic "line chart
which had been done by Alison Lobb of Clin-
ton, a very beautiful addition to her collec-
tion of family information.
Regular meetings are held the first
Wednesday of every month in the board
room in the basement of the assessment of-
fice building on Napier Street, Goderich at
7:30 p.m. 'Parking and entrance are at the
rear. .

Retirement club offer personal service..
The overwhelming response of people.
--'7--`wanti i -trr-join--thee-Hutoit-Retiremeilt--Cla1b.- •
has been very gratifying for directors
Dennis and Frank Little of Goderich.
However, due to the tremendous response,
the directors have decided not to: accept any;
More new members as of today, February
15. This is in order to offer the present
members of the club the promised service.
New memberships will -become available
again as of September 1, 1984.
The. Duron Retirement Club was formed.
with the intention of helping people to better
their financial programs and organize their
personal affairs: The. three main objectives
of the club are: to increase members' in-
vestment and pension incomes; to decrease
Members' income tax liabilities; and to give
members peace of mind.
In a recent survey say the tittles,
statistics showed that 95 out 'of every 100
people -at the .age of 65- are not self-
supporting. Ninety-three per cent of these
people who failed financially, said it was due
to the lack of a well thought-out and realistic
plan and the, inability to find information to
help them make sound deciiions.d_ _
Dennis and Frank Little say, "Taking
advantage of the Huron Retirement Club
will assure members a richer retirement as
well as lower estate costs and peace of mind
knowing their affairs are in order. The key
to success is planning and the time to' start
planning for retirement is now. The Huron
Retirement Club has a plan to help people
into the upper five per cent bracket of those
who are proud to be self-supporting." •
The Littles believe that the key to success
is finding ways of doing things .better and
say this can be achieved by knowing what is
available, where to find it and how to best
suit it to personal needs. .
Originally, their idea wassto `supply
formation by seminars and newsletters but
they have now decided to offer a more
personalized serviceto each. member.
Because each person's problems and goals
are different,they feel that individual ap-
pointments . in the privacy of members'
homes is the best approach.
A new office has been opened and with the
-help of a government grant, Arthur Currie
" has been employed. He is an individual with
many years of accounting experience which
will add to a higher degree of quality per-
sonal service to club members.

Story behind
bicentennial symbol
• from page 10
tribute to the youth and vitality of the Pro-
vince.
The symbol chosen for the Bicentennial is
a stylized rendering of the. provincial flower.
(Trillium Grandiflora). The colors are
i epresentative-of-the-blue end-whiteF enchr
fleur-de-lis, the red, white and blue of; the
Union Jack and in the centre, the bright
„yellow -suggests the energy generated by the
interaction- a radiant centre and a dynamic
hub. Watch out for the flag, and for the pins.
In the schools the children will be busy
with projects, and in Bayfield one thing : is
certain, when it comes to the community
getting together - they know how it's done!

The Huronview board room was the loca-
tion for the January meeting of Town and
Country Homemakers.
Members of the board regretfully ac-
cepted the resignation of Bev Drown as
chairman. The tremendous energy and ex-
cellent leadership which Bev has provided
for the last six years as a board member and
chairman will be' missed by all of the
members who understand that the serious
illness of Bev's farm partner has made it
impossible for her to continue in her leader-
ship role at this time.
Thea Trick of Clinton was elected chair-
man and accepted the position, fully aware
that Bev's resignation has left "huge shoes
to fill". Lauretta Siegner of Exeter will fill
the vice-chairman position.
The 1983 year-end financial report showed
that Town and Country Homemakers main-
tained a positive financial balance after a
year of many restraints. The agency provid-
ed an increase of 3,500 hours of homemaking
over 1982. The 1983 rnaiLout campaign
Homemakers
resulted in net proceeds a $12,472. The
Board congratulated Jean Young, executive
director, for her excellent administrative
abilities.
The agency has set the date of April 11 for
its annual dinner meeting acd invites all in-
terested people to join m at the Seaforth
Community Center for what promises to be
an exceptional evening. Angela Armitt will
be the guest speaker. Ms. Armitt served for
many years as Dean of Continuing and Part -
Time' Studies at the Unidersity of Western
Ontario and is well-known for her witty and
informative speaking ability. Tickets are
av iiable by calling Thea Trick of Clinton.
y will not be available at the door.
Board was happy to receive a letter
from Betty Cardno of the Huron County
Home Care Program, congratulating the
agency for "providing reliable, responsible,
and flexible homemaking services to Home
Care clients in the county:"
The next meeting will be held in the '
Huronview board room on February 29.

HURONVIEW - The making of dough dolls
