While coffee and cookies were served by Marg Brand and Bev Van Ninhuys, Gayle King of Blyth and Sheila Richard of Camp- bell's Men's & Ladies' Wear in Clinton set up for their showing of Images for Success. Carol Wammes of Mary's Sewing Centre introduced Gayle and Sheila. Gayle King, employee of the Clinton News -Record, has worked with the fashion industry in London and has always been in- terested in styles and fabrics. Just recently she has taken a special course on Image Dressing for Success and is now qualified to teach the same. She spoke on styles and the larger woman - the sport, the romantic, the ingenue, the sophisticated - and what looks best on them. Together, Sheila and Gayle presented many mix and match looks from about three hanger loads of clothing with enough ideas to last for a 10 day vacation. Sheila modelled new outfits from her store while Gayle modelled her own clothes. Special accents were added: shoes and ac- cessories from Wuerths Shoes, Clinton. As Gayle looked over the crowd of ladies she spotted two as ingenues, one sport, another sophisticated. This workshop was just an introduction to a full two day course which she will be offer- ing at Mary's Sewing Centre in the new year, and also a weekend of same and more towards spring.

Roba Lobb had the entrance to the hall decorated with fall flowers, gourds, bale of hay and even a goblin and pumpkin. Charlotte Norman, president of the UMW, welcomed the crowd and declared the bazaar open. The produce booth was set up nicely, sewing and knitting a good supply, and of course the ever popular bake table with lots of good home baking. The lunch tables and tea tables were very popular spots, with this year being a first for lunch to be served and was told the chili was a sellout. The ladies wish to thank all for coming out and making the bazaar such a success. Get well wishes to Shirley Elliott who is now at home again.

Each year The Lung Association sends a package containing specially -designed Christmas Seals to ap- proximately 40,000 households in Huron - Perth Counties. Victor Crapnell, an Ottawa artist, submitted the winning design for the 1987 Christmas Seals. Christmas Seals and The Christmas Seal Campaign represent the spirit of giving and )-'clping others. Eighty years ago when tuberculosis was the dreaded "white plague", Christmas Seals raised money to build sanatoria and later to make chest x- rays available to all. Today, The Lung Association is dedicated to eliminating such diseases as lung cancer, emphysema, asthma and chronic bronchitis. It is a community-based organization and the money raised is used to educate and to help people cope with lung disease. "The goal for the 1987 campaign in Huron - Perth Counties is $70,000," says Eileen Beauchemin, Fund -Raising Chairman, "And, in addition to funding medical research, donations will go towards local Family Asthma Programs, Better Breathing Programs, various programs concerning smoking and the Lungs Are For Life School Program."
