Huronview
residents
go shopping
HURONVIEW - Sunday evening a van
load of residents from the men's floor here
took advantage of the beautiful evening and
took in the band concert in the park at
Goderich.
On Monday, in spite of a large cloud burst
they managed to again load the van without
getting wet, and head to the mall in
Goderich. I,t turned into a beautiful hot day
and most enjoyable so the residents were
able to go to the square and continue to shop
there as well as the mall.
Geri Fashions were at Huronview all day
Tuesday giving the ladies and gentlemen,
the opportunity to again choose articles of
clothing at their leisure.
Huronview residents and staff extend
sympathy to the families of Margaret
Lockwood and Pauline Shkrabuik who pass-
ed away this week.

Church transformed into Color Your World
' By David Emslie
CI,INTON - The new Color Your World
store . might have the most interesting
history of any paint store in the area, as it is
currently housed in what was once a
Pentecostal Church.
Owned by Don and Betty Duff, the store
has been open since the end of May.
Mr. Duff explained they first got the idea
of owning their own store when they were in
Stratford's Color Your World, and the owner
asked them if they knew anyone in the Cljn
ton area who would like to buy a store.
Their first step in building towards this
goal was finding a suitable place for a store.
"There are lots of places, but they're not all
suitable," Mr. Duff explained.
This search took up the good part of a
year, and once the building was found it had
to be rezoned from a church. property to
highway commercial, which also took a few
months.
After all of the paper work was out of the
way, renovations were in order. Although
the Duff's don't actually own the building,
they own the goods in the store, and
therefore they tackled the renovations with
a lot of zest.
Some of the work they carried out includ-
ed taking the windows out, putting in some
carpet, putting up an iron railing, and ad-
ding a step within the store.
Surprisingly, this work took only two
weeks. "Nothing was done until the day we
had the paper in our hands saying it was
rezoned. That was only about the middle of
May," Mrs. Duff explained.
However, by May 29 the store was ready
to be opened with all of the work completed
and the stock moved in.
With its complete line of paint, wallpaper
and tile products, the store should prove to
be a major convenience to area shoppers.
Mrs. Duff said that the store has been get-
ting a good response so far. "We have had a
lot of people looking, more or less. They
don't have to look to London or Stratford
now."
Prior to the opening of the Clinton,
Goderich and Exeter stores, Color Your
World clients had to make the trip to these
areas.
So far Mrs. Duff is enjoying her roll of
working in the store every day. "I like
meeting people, and it's a challenge every
day, really. You get to help people
redecorate their homes," she concluded.

Twenty members of the Huron Tract Spin-
ners and Weavers Guild have enjoyed their
four spring meetings learning new techni-

& Spinners Guild of Owen Sound from guilds
across Canada. Kathy Dykstra showed
sevPral niPooc of raj ",Pavine she had done
At the June meeting Joanne Cicchini
demonstrated the use of a rotary cutter cut-
ting strips of fabric to use for rag weaving.
The cutter was used on a special mat which
could be used any table without cutting it.
Toni Vos gave a report on the Ontario Hand -
weavers and Spinners Conference held at
Brock University, St. Catharines in May and
she demonstrated with her new serger how
the sewing and finishing of handwoven
fabric is made simpler.
