Round nAbout...
Wednesday morning very
early I'm wide awake - I hear
the fog horn and a ship's horn
blowing. I look outdoors and
can't see the end of the yard.
After a bit, I couldn't stand
listening to all that blowing
and mournful sounds so
headed for the harbour.
Once I started down _the
North Road, the fog was gone
and the sight below was just
breathtaking. The river was
omooth as glass. The dark
bridge and the light
abutments were reflected in
that twisting mirror. I just
can't get over the thrill I get
every time that scene flashes
at me whenever I start down
the hill. I carried on - it isn't
safe to gaze too long without
getting caught in the traffic.
Everything was clear at the
harbour - so quiet and
peaceful - outside of those
horns, that is.
The fog was over the lake
and I could see a big dark

mass beyond the harbour
entrance. I looked around for
the tugs, couldn't see them
anywhere. I could see the ship
angling into the right lane
then I saw the tugs out beyond
the breakwall moving toward
it.
With a lot of horn blowing
the, Algoway, Sault Ste.
Marie, was guided to the salt
dock where the tugs left her.
Then I realized the ship was
already turned, the tugs had
backed her in. It was kind of a
disappointment not seeing
them turn her around in the
basin. Usually a great many
people gather to watch this
and I'm sure they too will be
sorry if they are turning them
in the lake instead of the Snug
Harbour basin.
The Algoway is a big one so
you don't see much of it from
the rear. Anyway the pink
hills of potash were quite
colorful, more gulls had
suddenly appeared once the
ship tied up and the sun was
now shining so I headed for
home.
Tied up beside the elevators
was an extra long laker, the
H. C. Heimbecker, which
looked to be still loaded.
There were quite a few
fishermen at the harbour. I
couldn't tell if they were
having any luck or not. I'm
sure they enjoy being at the
harbour - Catching fish is
secondary.
A week or so ago, I men-
tioned Ruth Knight would like
to know how many in this
area were interested in
weaving with spinning and
dyeing as added attractions.
Ruth has been in Goderich
since November 1977. Her
husband, who is with
Champion Road Machinery
Co., has been here since last

...with Martha
May.
In her home near Montreal
-Pointe Claire I believe she
said she had spent many
happy hours weaving in-
tricate patterns and designs,
creating wall hangings as
well as beautiful bedspreads,
cushion and chair covers and
so many lovely things for her
home which she is proud to
show you.
She misses the groups to
which she had belonged - the
Lake Shore Weavers - near
Montreal - the Ontario Hand
Weavers and Spinners and
the Canadian Guild of
Weavers and Spinners.
From their meetings, they
gathered new ideas and in-
spiration and went on to
create more lovely things.
Since there are more and
«« more weavers starting in this
area, it would be nice for
everyone to exchange ideas -
in this way learning more
about your craft.
Mrs. Evelyn Hardy has
been teaching the art of
weaving so anyone interested
in starting might contact her
for plans for the summer.
Apparently one begins with'
simple small or hand loom
weaving and later goes on to
spinning and dyeing your own
materials. A very satisfying
and rewarding craft.
Mark this on your calendar
for June 2 and 3 - the Huron
Olde Tyme'Festival at Blyth
Memorial Hall. There will be
square dance competitions,
fiddlers and step dancing.
Prizes and trophies will go to
the best of Ontario per-
formers. Contact 523-9300 for
further info.
Check your bulletin board
for other coming events.
Love, Martha

the Assessment office last week. The pre-school health
clinics are held in five municipalities each month and
results are passed on to kindergarten teachers. Each child
