he loves school. There's no problem there
whatsoever," explains Mrs. Wade.
Treating CF is very expensive. Bobbie's
drugs .cost approximately $100 per week
($1400 for the 14 weeks). His compressor
cost $344 and the tubing, etc costs extra.
Fortunately for the Wades, the drugs and
equipment get 100 per cent coverage
through Mr. Wade's place of employment.
Other families get help from the Society
for Crippled Children.
Mrs. Wade says Robbie's treatments are
worked into the family's daily routine.
Kelll, Robbie's older sister, is so used to
the routine that she will remind her
parents if anything is amiss.'
"She's very protective," says Mrs.
Wade.
As Robbie gets older, he will be able to
administer most of his own treatment.
- Some children, especially boys, become
angry and resentful of their disease as
they get older.
"The key is to give them a lot of love and
to make them feel as comfortable with
their treatments as you can," says Mrs.
Wade.
The Wades have a portable compressor
which they can plug into the lighter of their
car for Robbie if •they are going on long
trips. With proper scheduling, his treat-
ment doesn't much interfere with his life
or theirs. The doctor has also told Mrs.
Wade to be flexible with treatment,
perhaps even skipping it on a special day

like Christmas or a birthday.
Since moving to Goderich, the Wades
have not encountered any other families
with CF children.
"It is nice to have families to talk to.
There were five families in Stratford,"
says Mrs. Wade.
The Wades still belong to the Kitchener -
Waterloo Chapter of the Canadian Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF ). This chapter
meets every second month and has guest
speakers and social activities. Gymn and
swim programs and sports activities are
emphasized for the children. The more ac-
tivity they get, the better their lungs
become:
Mrs. Wade has spoken on CF to nurses in
both Stratford and Goderich. And the
whole Wade family recently attenda din-
ner put on by the Goderich Kinsmen and
Kinette Clubs at which time Mrs. Wade
spoke on CF again. Raising money to
research the disease in the national pro-
ject for Kinsmen and Kinettes.
May is CF month in Canada and the
Goderich Kinettes will hold a balloon day
Satuiday, May 2 from 10 a.m. to. 2 p.m. ,
Dressed as clowns, they will hand out
balloons throughout town in return for
donations.
Money raised is used by CFF for con-
ducting research into improved care and
treatment and to seek a cure or control for
CF. When you give money, you will be
helping children like Robbie Wade of
Goderich.
Garden Club members learn about art of dried flower arranging
The large number of
members who attended the
April 15 meeting of the
Goderich Garden Club at
Robertson Memorial School
to learn about the art of mak-
ing dried 'flower ar-
rangements were not disap-
pointed.
Mrs. Estelle Kjarsgaard of
the . Royal Botanical
Gardens, Hamilton, working
in the Outreach ..pr gram,
funded by the O to
Ministry of Culture
Recreation, brings her s
and knowledge of the dried
flower artto people living at
a distance from• . the
.Botanical Gardens. •
The. speaker outlined the
two usual methods used in
drying plants: air drying
,and drying through the use
of Silicone Gel. The
demonstration was focused
on the first method.
The best specimens for air
drying are the wild flowers
and weeds. Yellow flowers
are best to retain color. They
should be picked before they
reach the peak of perfection,

at mid-day on .a bright, sun-
ny day. The leaves of flower-
ing plants are removed, the
stalks are bundled together
in bunches and are hung up
to dry. They should be put in
a dark, warm place • with
good air circulation. This
may take from three days to
three weeks.
Mr.s'i Kjarsgaard
demonstrated a method of
making -contrived"
flowers. A small, firm and
dry poppy head was attach-
ed to a wire stalk. This form-
ed the centre of. -tbe,. new
flower. Then silver pennies,
dyed for desired color, were
glued to the centre to form
petals. Leaves of . moistened
corn husks were attached to
the wire to complete the
flower. Several of these were
used in the 'flower arrange-
ment.
To provide leaf material
you may choose branches of
mountain • ash, hawthorn,
mulberry; leather -leaf fern
or eucalyptus. These are dip-
ped into a solution of one
part glycerine and two 'parts
water.' After three days the
leaves are ready for use.
To put the arrangement
together, choose a base of
wood, fungus; brass, pottery
orslats but avoid use of glass
and silver. Styrofoam is cut
to fit or attach to container
with floral. tape. The ar-
rangement must contain
some ,specimens of each of
these shapes: linear, round
and transitional material..
The shape of the arrange-
ment is important. Keep to
chosen design and avoid a
layered look.
Several completed works
were on display for
members' observation and
study..

sand. A good potting soil
mixture, for other plant slips
is composed of one-third
sand; one-third peat moss
and one-third vermiculite.
This should be moistened,
packed and then the slips are
planted in it. Some slips root
