The minister pronounced the benediction followed by the congregational benediction "Lord We Pray." Missionary meeting The montly meeting of, the .Huron Chapel Missionary Women International was con- vened at the home of Debra Rodges on Tues- day, February 3j President Marilyn Camp- bell opened tl4 meeting with prayer and Madeline Burchill led in the singing of several songs. Dianne Baan and her daugter Kim gave a very interesting account of thier visit to Mexico in the course of visiting missionary ,friends Norman and Hilda Sparling. Kim was amazed to discover that crosses placed beside the road at various spots marked the graves of people who had been killed becau8e of hazardous driving on poor win- ding roads. When the Baans observed that the streams from which the drinking water was taken were used also for bathing, the washing of clothes and the watering of cat- tle, they knew why they had been warned about drinking the local water. Upon arriv- ing home they discovered that they couldn't get enough water to drink. The bartering system made shopping an interesting and sometimes frustrating experience. Missionary prayer concerns were voiced in prayer by Aimee Barth, Dianne Baan, Heather McCown and Marilyn Campbell. The Bible study "On Your Thought of Life" was led by Marilyn Campbell. Gladys Campbell, special events convenor, surpris- ed Marie Scott by announcing a baby shower for her new son Jordon. The gifts were presented by Kim Baan and Virginia Hodges. It was announced that the March meeting will be cancelled because of the proximity to the missionary convention to be held February 19-22 when missionaries from Brazil, Ecuador and Sirra Leone will be present. 4-11 course provides practical help HURON - "Surviving With Style", the latest of the many excellent programs of- fered to 4-H members, promises to be one of the most useful. Each of the six meetings will offer practical ideas on honing the skills that will make life easier whether one is liv- ing at home or on one's own. The first session will cover the art of replacing a fuse or resetting a circuit breaker, how to unclog a drain or stop a toilet from running, protecting one's proper- ty, and dealing with phone calls and strangers at the door. The next lesson gives tips on preparing food that is delicous as well as nutritious. A "basic kitchen survival" pullout includes easy and versatile recipes on everything from "nearly breakfast in a glass" through pizzas and casseroles to rookies that can be made in eight flavours and almost as many shapes. Lesson three deals with values and priorities, and how these determine what we wear and eat, and how we spend our time and our money. The fourth session is entirely devoted to clothing care and repair. Working smarter but not harder while keeping up with such household chores as washing dishes, cleaning the fridge, making a bed, vacuuming, and preventing everything from accidents to food poisoning are all covered at the fifth meeting. The care of cars, bikes and other vehicles wraps up the program. Rural Organization Specialists Jane Muegge and Richard Hamilton have been travelling around Huron County holdings leaders' workshops on the program. Over 60 local volunteer 4-14 leaders attend- ed the seminars held recently at CCAT. They put into practice the 4-H motto "Lear- ning by doing" by doing just that. Boosting a battery, sewing on a button and a patch, changing an electrical plug and creating something from a bag of odds and ends were among the activities. As rewards, the leaders got to sample some tasty treats made from the recipes given in the second lesson. Mrs. Muegge said "Surviving With Style" is adaptable to a younger or older age group, and to both male and female 4 -Hers. The organizers are expecting a county- wide enrollment of between 500 and 600, with a goodly ratio of males. A large number of young men signed up for two previous 4-H courses, one on cooking, and another on eti- quette for the '80s. Mrs. Muegge hopes that trend will continue for this latest offering. Family studies courses to be enlarged By Shelley McPhee Haist By September 1987 the Huron County Bdard of Education will be providing Family Studies and Industrial Arts courses to Grade 7 and 8 students in the southern half of the county. The two part plan has seen the establish- ment of such courses for students in the cen- tral and northern parts of the county and the second phase is now looking for accommoda- tion in the southern district. • Education Director Bob Allan reported to the board, at its January meeting, that a space review of schools in the south and in- dicated that the most appropriate placement would be at McCurdy Public School in Cen- tralia. Sufficient space is not available at Ex- eter Public School, Hensall Public School, Stephen Central Public School, Usborne ('en- tral Public School or Zurich Public School. Space at South Huron District High School in Exeter is being utilized by the extension of Basic Studies classes and the development of a music program. Mr. Allan reported that two classrooms are available at McCurdy Public School. They are presently being used as a classroom.for the French Teacher and the School Resource Teacher. Both of these programs can be relocated within the school. Location of the Family Studies and In- dustrial Arts program at McCurdy Public School, rather than in Exeter, will create on- ly minimum increases in bus costs since board owned buses may be used by Zurich, Exeter and Stephen and since the minimum charge applies to the Hensall and Usborne contract buses. Mr. Allan pointed out however, that the establishment of the courses at McCurdy may involve extensive funding to upgrade elec- trical services. He further noted that renova- tions at the school would provide the oppor- tunity to rearrange the Developmental Han- dicapped facilities to a more appropriate h)cation,within the building. The Family Studies and Industrial Arts pro- gram has been well received in other areas of the county. The courses have been provid- ed to students in the centre of Huron County for several years through facilities at Seaforth Public School and Victoria Public School in Goderich. The north program was established at F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham in the fall of 1986. Bruce Robertson, principal of Wingham Public School told board members the new program has been successful and has receiv- ed favorable support from teachers, parents and pupils. In support of the McCurdy loca- tion to service the southern half of the coun- ty, Mr. Robertson noted, "Special needs children particularly profit from the pro- gram." Plans and preparations to implement the program by September 1987 will continue at the board level, and Mr. Allan pointed out, "The program is seen as a bonus to whateter school it goes to." 1987 IS YOUR YEAR TO OWN THE BEST FROM LOBB'S We invite you to price the rest ... then buy the best!

(Shelley McPhee Haist photo) Second level sewing courses for 4-H'ers CLINTON - "Sewing Plus" is a second level sewing project, to be offered during 1987. It is aimed at 4-H members who have already learned to sew, have made at least one garment, and know how to operate a sewing machine. Shirts are a popular wardrobe item for all teens, and in this club, members will learn to sew a shirt with interfacing and a collar from a cotton or cotton/polyester blend fabric. Why should a 4-H member take a project like Sewing Plus? One reason is that an appreciation of good quality garment construction, knowing how to care for clothing, and being able to use Canada's Care Labelling System, all help members to be better consumers. A clothing project -not only teaches sewing skills, but helps members throughout their lives to make decisions about selecting and caring for clothing. Workshops for the sewing plus project are planned for Thursday, Mar. 12, 10 a.rn. - 3:00 p.m. and on Thursday, March 12 at 6 00 p.m - 10:30 p.m. These workshops will be held in the OMAF boardroom, Clinton.
