Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-10-25, Page 20PAGE 2A —GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1979 Not d speak The Goderich Garden Club held its October 17 meeting in the music room of Robertson Memorial Public School with an attendance of 38. President, Mrs. Frances Worsell, conducted the business part of the meeting. Mrs. W. N. Peebles from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton was introduced by Mrs. Lois McGill, program con- venor. The speaker's topic was "Christmas Designs for the home." Starting at the front door, a swag was made using white pine boughs with styrofoam as a base. A large red velvet bow was placed in the center for accent. Another hanger was created in the shape of an S or crescent. A piece of 9 -inch by 1 -inch chicken wire was laid flat on the table. Moist sphagnum moss was tightly packed along the long edge of the wire.' After rolling it tightly and securing the edges, the design was made into the desired shape. Boughs • - of Yew were fastened by• pins starting at the end and working toward the center until it' was completely Sprigs of berries, fruit were added. For indoors, club members were amazed when Mrs. Peebles used a large potato with a flat • side as the base. Juniper was used this time. the - boughs were cut into lengths of 9,. 7, 5 and 3 - inches. Starting at the bottom of the potato with the longest length, they were inserted graduating up to the shortest at the base of a red candle which had"been anchored into the centre. Red cherries completed this swag. The end table arrangement consisted of a brass container holding a large salmon coloured candle. Around this were placed bunches of small green grapes, green apples, small gold sprayed pine cones and brown bows. The coffee table creation was on a Targe flat plate which held a cup pin holder into which three yucca leaves of different .lengths were placed. A large, char - covered. artificial and bows treuse coloured candle, several sprayed honesty flowers of the sante shade made this very eye ap- pealing. Christmas breakfast was very unusual for it consisted of two red birds sitting on a large branch which was sprayed white. Three red carnations at the base made a very • striking ,design. Christmas buffet was one of the loveliest displays. A silver can- delabra with two tall pink tapers were used as the base. A container bet- ween the tapers held an •oasis into which juniper boughs, 12 pink car- nations, silver balls, and sprigs of ivy were added making this pretty as a picture. Christmas dinner was designed for an oblong table using a long casserole dish. The oasis was anchored and a hole made for a large red candle. Yew and Mahonie shrubs were used. Fresh. crab apples and rose hips, which had been dipped into shellac, completed an attractive table centrepiece. Kumquats andlemons could have been used. This completed the "Designs for the Horne". Many other tips were given such as how to make the large red velvet bows on the swag, birds from milkweed pods and a hanger from a gold sprayed Javex bottle. Mrs. Peebles held her audience captive with her pleasant personality and her most creative ability. She was assisted by her son, Stephen,. In appreciation for a most enjoyable evening, Mrs. Lois • McGill presented the speaker with a gift from the Garden„Club. It was an arrangement from the Christmas Country Fair at Saltford as a reminder ,of Goderich. A bus trip to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, to the "Xmas '79 Creation Sale” on November 22 is being planned. 'All paid up members ` are welcome. The meeting adjourned after the president's "Did you Know?" The topic Was .fall bulb planting. Orders for bulbs from Cruickshank's Nursery are being taken. Phone 524-7694. Huronview choir at service Rev. Wittick was assisted by Rev. Darrell and Mrs. Webster on Sunday morning while church communion was being served. The choir sang the anthem "Open My Eyes That I May See." Molly Cox entertained at old tyme music hour on Monday afternoon and there was a good at- tendance of residents down to the auditorium to listen to the music. The Huronview auxiliary held their Fall Bazaar Tuesday af- ternoon.. The auditorium was decorated with the Hallowe'en theme in mind. The little ghosts, witches and pumpkins which were the table centrepieces are now up in the main dining room for our residents to enjoy. Winner of the quilt was Mrs. Mabel Jeffery from Exeter. Our "candy lady", Mable Garrow, was busy again on Wednesday morning preparing more candy for the residents who were still hungry for maple cream and fudge. We would like to thank ,Mable for sharing her recipe with us and going to the work -of making the candy. The Elimville Women's Institute celebrated with all residents whose birth- days fell in October on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Ronald Fletcher showed slides of interest interspersed with musical selections from Mrs. Philip Johns at the piano, and Mr. Cecil Skinner playing his violin. Cupcakes and tea were served after each birthday resident received their gift. Mrs. Mable Garrow thanked the Elimville ladies on behalf of those celebrating birthdays. Mrs. M. Garrow, Mrs. Bernice Glousher, Mrs. Florence Flood, Frank Bissett and Mrs. Elsie Henderson • worked on ceramic pieces which the craft room will be placing throughout the home. Huronview would like to welcome Grace Fairy from Londesboro and William Marsh from Goderich. These two people have made Huronview their home within the last couple of days.

R • 20 BETWEEN RAFTERS Buy Now at To minimize heating costs, current recommendations n many parts of the country call for R-28 in the attic area and up to R-20 in the walls. Insulation in the attic poses no particular problem; you can always add to your existing insulation. However there is simply not enough room inside a standard 2x4 stud wall to install R-20 insulation. GLASCLAD solves the problem. GLASCLAD is a rigid insulating exterior sheathing board that is applied in the same manner as con- ventional exterior sheathing boards. But GLASCLAD, in conjunction with"31/2" fiberglass insulation batts WILL PROVIDE the necessary increased "R•yalue" you need. It's applied vertically to the face of the studs. It's easy to install; you can cut it with a simple utility knife.
