This method of collecting money went bet- ter than expected as the target amount of $236 was surpassed by $44 when the children brought in $280. One of the first jobs the money will go into in Haiti is placing a more sanitary cement floor in the hut. Purchasing of beds and utensils might also be included. Rather than sending the extra money gathered as a gift to Mirlande, which would bring about jealousy among other residents of her area, some of the money will be put into the community. This community money will be put towards such projects as having a well installed. Mrs. Laurie noted that the money may also help Mirlande to get a better education. Although her family is illiterate, she already has an educational advantage overthem, as with her Grade 3 education she can read and write. Children in Haiti are allowed to leave school at 14 years of age, and they are usual- ly encouraged to do so by their parents so they can start earning money for the family in a job. In Mirlande's case, however, she might be able to continue with her education because once she leaves school, the Foster Parents' money will be cutoff.

(David Emslie photo) Holmesville 4 -Hers into program HOLMESVILLE — On February 9 the Holmesville 1 4-H Club opened their second official meeting with the 4-H pledge. They then went through the opening procedure: Roll call given by Peter Kiehl, Angie Rad- ford was the only member absent. The secretary's report also given by Peter Riehl and the treasurer's report passed inspection by President Stephanie Bush. Members discussed the club name and came up with teens under repair. Lesson three was discussed and com- pleted in the books by the club. Befoe the break, the club was divided into groups. 'They were all given brown bags with the following items inside — piping, felt, paper cups, pins and a pair of scissors. The object was to create anything. The results varied from toys to salt and pepper shakers. Following the break, they played an opi- nion game. Members would pull out of the hat a half finished statement and have to finish it. Meeting Three On February 16, the third official meeting of the Holmesville 4-H club took place at the Goderich Township Community Centre. It opened with the 4-H pledge, and continued with the roll call, which was answered by everyone excluding Lisa Flynn. Members began by voting on a cover page for their books. Then, although this was the third meeting, they decided to do Meeting Two, which consisted of making foil dinners. They had a choice of chicken or ham- burger meat, . with corn, peas or carrots. While the dinners were cooking, they com- pleted the rest of the meeting and then pro- ceeded to make their desserts: cookies, pud- ding and a birthday cake donated by one of the members. Members then sampled the results of their efforts, which were well done with the ex- ception of some burnt vegetables. The meeting closed with the 4-H motto. On February 23, the meeting started out by members doing activities in the book. The topic was clothes and how to care for them. After they did that, they were split into groups. Each group was given strips of paper. One strip had the question, the other had the answer and they had to match them. After the break members were each given material, a button, thread and a needle. They had to sew the button and other stiches. Quilters make fourth quilt HOLMESVILLE - Last Wednesday the Enterprising Seniors quilters were hard at work again on their fourth quilt this winter.

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1987—Page 11 Huron Centennial helps out Foster Child By David Emslie BRUCEFIELD - Through the efforts of students at Huron Centennial School, the life of a family in Haiti is going to be a bit more pleasant. The students have been gathering money at the school during the month of February to support 13 -year-old Mirlande Fleurant of Baussard, Haiti. Mirlande lives with her mother, grand- mother and uncle in a one room hut with mud floors, mud walls and a scrap metal roof, For furniture the family has one mat they take turns sleeping on, a table and a chair. They live on an income of $32 a month as the grandmother does some farming and trading while the mother does the work around the house as well as taking in some cleaning. Mirlande's uncle also assists with the farming. The family has very few utensils, and does Reeve Stirling speaks to historians... • from page 10 telephone commissioner, eight years as a councillor and •one as reeve. Reeve Stirling said he had three sisters and three brothers and walked daily the 1.3/4 miles to the local school. He decided early that he preferred the farm to continu- ingeducation, and in 1945 took over from his father and has remainedactive in the farm- ing community since that time. With wry humor he explained that he was talked in to running for council, serving six years in office before becoming deputy reeve and subsequently reeve. He had now chalked up 27 years with the township and 22 with county council. He highlighted some of the main events which had taken place during this period - the' golf course, community centre, the '67 'Canada Centennial and the 150th anniver- sary of the township in 1986. He also describ- ed his association with the production of the Huron County Atlas paying tribute to Andy McLean and Bev Brown who had done ex- cellent work with regard to this project. In conclusion, he paid tribute to his wife Anne, and also to those of his family who had pioneered the area working with axes to clear the land, walking everywhere and en- during hardships that are almost unimaginable today. To them and people like them, he said, so much was owed for they had opened up the country and one of the finest areas in the province. St. James celebrates O L� d communion... • from page 10 Semple.

One of the teachers at the school who is in- volved with the students' council, Wilhelmina Laurie, explained how they became involved in adopting a foster child. "The students' council does so much stuff, but it is always 'What can we get?' It's always been oriented towards what can we do for ourselves. We wanted them to be a lit- tle less 'me' oriented. We want thernAokhink globally, they're not just' citizens of Varna or Brucefield, they are citizens of the world. It's kind of nice for them to think of other people," she explained. The students were asked to donate their own money, not money given to them by their parents. The parents were also sent letters from the school asking them to give their children a chore to do that they don't usually have to do to earn their money. An extra motivational tool was also in- cluded in the fund raising, and this tool was a Valentine rl'ree. "When they ( students) made a contribu- tion, they got to put a heart_on the tree with their name on it. Each child had their name on the tree; it was kind of nice that way," Mrs. Laurie noted. She later added that some children contributed $5 while others gave 25 cents, but all got a chance to put a McBRIDE BROS.
