Club holds Christmas meeting
By Milena Lobb
The Christmas meeting of the S.S. No. 4
Community Club was held at the home of
oh Diane Lobb. President Marilyn Forbes led
IMP `the members in prayer. Secretary Verna
• Lobb read the November minutes and
treasurer Marlene Forbes gave the
treasurer's report. Roll call was answered
by 13 members and two visitors with "What
Christmas Means to Me".
It was decided to give $10 to the Town and
Country Homemakers.
Jeanette Lobb will host the January 8
• meeting which willstart at 12:30 p.m. with a
.potluck dinner.
After the meeting was closed, everyone
enjoyed a very interesting program which
was organized by Phyllis Thompson and the
"outside of the horseshoe". A poem,
"Goderich Township 1. 5 - 0", opened the ac-
tivities, followed by jumbled letters con
tests, readings and a Christmas•carol con-
test which included singing carols. With a
bit of coaxing, club members were able to
enjoy a solo by.Cathi Cullen. Lunch which
the "inside of the horse shoe" provided,
followed the gift exchange which seemed to
make everyone realize Christmas was get-
ting close.. • '
• People •
Everyone is busy rushing around getting
that last minute gifts bought and wrapped,
' mothers are busy baking for the BIG meal
which will be held one day during the Week.
Let us hope the weather will be good for
travelling and everyone gets where they
plan to'go when they are expected. It seems
the last few years, Christmas has been held
on .many different days because of snow
storms.
Murray' and Marlene Forbes have just
returned from 'visiting with Torn and
Katherine Archibald and family at Rainbow
Lake in northern Alberta. Tey visited with
Craig and Shelley Taylur in St. Albert on the
wayhome.
I would like to say Murry Christmas and
thank you to everyone who helped with the
news over the past year . As you requested,
here is the poem for your Goderich
Township•1-5-0 scrapbook.
"Goderich Township 1-5-0" In the year nine-
teen hundred and eighty-five,
Goderich Township really came alive.
alive.
It has been over one hundred and,fifty year
Since our first pioneers settled here.
'T'he celebrations .started and will end with a
dance,
Get your ticket - don't take a chance
On missing out on any of the fun.
We've sure had lots .since '85 benun
A fashion show, nature walk,Easter c ` rch
service, to -name a few . • I
Were some of the erilertaiintent plarnte or
me and you. •
All township folk gust MO( get in the grove
Cause come July the celebrating would real-
ly start to move.
Gerry Ginn, our chairman of the 1-5-0
Did -a great job of keeping things in tow --
With many a priobletn he had to deal
Now it is almost, over Happy' he roust feel.
Mid -July was -such a hu•<v time for.all.
Helping set up tallith, tents, • schools and
hall. ' -
Up and down the road the cars did go
Gathering this and th.in getting read j fur
the show.
There was LOTS to do - no time to be bored,
At the Try-Hard's ball garne how the crowd
roared.
There was the BBQ, bus trips and the Farm
Show,
Lots of ball games and even WINTARI-ARI- ,
O.
July 19thwe showed an awful lot of folks,
Who thought a parade in Holmesville was a
BIG JOKE,
That nowhere could a bigger or better
parade be seen,
And our township had its own Kin and
Queen.
Holmesville really grew that summer day,
Close to ten thousand lined up• along the
parade way,
The judges were in for a BIG surprise too
Cause they thought they'd have nothing to
do.
Former residents carne home from far and
r,
hared memories with old friends and some
shed a tear.
The plate with the Disney Wagon is now in
many a home
And there's a book telling about the land we
roam.
Almost gone but not forgotten is this very
important year •
In the history of Goderich, Township - But
have no fear,
Years from now folks will still talk we knew
About the way WE celebrated our BIG 1-5-0!
Dinner table dints from early files,
Clinton News -Record
December 15, 1910
What an important function is the go.od old
English Christmas dinner. Ara d the table
old friends are once again uhited, past
grievances are forgotten, peace and good-
will reign supreme, unless we are so unfor-
tuante as to possess a stony heart like the
one that belonged once upon a time to the
immortal Scrooge. Even•thus, may it he our
lot this year to find .a Little Tim into whose
life we can bring happiness.
Brightness Must he • the predominant
feature in Christmas-ttlue decorations and
that is why scarlet is ever the favorite hue at
this time of year.
• A box of griming lilies of the valley are 0
delightful Inycstriient and may be made a
thing of beauty if treated thus:
-•first, treasure the width and length, of the
box, then stand it upon two pieces of bright
red crinkled tissue paper that are five times
as wide and three tunes as long as the box.
-bring the paper up the sides length -ways,
turning it in about an inch at the tip and
securing it to the top of the box with a little
seccotine.
-tie the paper at the sides with a piece'of thin
string, tying it as tightly a5 possible without
cutting the,paper.
-pull out the ends and arrange them so that
they form a kind of large rn�ette at either
end of the box.
-finish with bows of rihh n.
This makes a. charming centre for your
table, or if lilies are too expensive, fill a box
with small growing ferns, planting here and
there a scarlet tulip among them. • •
- Dainty candle shades could be made of the
crinkled paper with stars cut out in silver
paper and gummed on to them, 'and the
housewife who is really artisitic, will have a
touch of red to corl espond in all the little
details of the table service. This idea .can
even be carried out with the ham frill, using
for this alternate, ruches of •white and red
tissue, letting a white ruche come next to the
harp.
