Klaas- sen conducting devotions. The members answered the roll call, "A TV commercial you like or dislike and why". The motto, "One of the best things you have up your sleeve is a funnybone", was ably taken by Mrs. C. Marzec. She said each person has a responsibility for his own happiness and urged the ladies to "smile more, make others smile; show a happy disposition, make an apple pie and share it." Mrs. Marzec finished her talk with a humorous letter between two brothers. A three -act play, "The Ghost and Ebenezer Scrooge", was enacted, with Mrs. Marzec playing the ghost and Mrs. Klaassen, Ebenezer. They went back in time to the days when there was so much work to, do in the home: cleaning pipes, carrying ashes, keeping a fruit and vegetable cellar well stocked. They spoke of happy times when house parties were held in the parlor, the bedrooms filled ' with coats and sleepi`hg babies. The performers then travelled to the present-day supermarket where many things are in cans, frozen or boxed, meals to only be put in ovens and heated. They progressed to the year 3001 and sat down to a meal, suggesting that knives and forks would probably not be used as this would be the day of nutrients and one may need only to swallow pills instead of eating meals. Lunch was served after the meeting closed. Seniors° Day Centre News By Pam Williams We are all set for our annual craft and bake sale this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Armouries building.

TRY IT, YOU'LL HATE IT—Gordon Welch, a Grade 5 student at the Turnberry Central School, did a bit of hamming up at the "Ocean Taste Test" held last Thurs- day as part of the enrichment workshop for a group of public school students from the north of Huron County. Carolyn Elston from the Wingham Public School was amused by Gordon's antics, as were Ryan Deyell from the Wingham Public School and lan Morton from the East Wawanosh Public School. Enrichment workshop stimulates gifted children Ever tried thatching wits with a group of nine -to - eleven -year-olds for over an hour? It's not easy, especially if the children were participants in the enrichment workshop held last week at the F. E. Madill' Secondary School in Wingham. "Hooked on Oceans" was the theme of the three-day workshop for 24 students from the six public schools in northern Huron County. Enrichment programs are something relatively new to schools in Huron County, offering "gifted" children a challenging and "intensive learning environment. The workshop was offered to selected students from. Grades 4 to 6 from the Wingham, Turnberry, East Wawanosh, Howick, Grey. and Brussels public schools. The children were selected by teachers at their respective schools because it was felt the students could benefit from the extra stimulus or because a child had a keen interest in or a special aptitude for science. "We are trying to meet a need and that is to add extra enrichment to the program," said John Martens, teacher' at the Howick Central School and a program coordinator. Goforth worship stresses focusing on our blessings Focusing on our blessings, not our burdens, was the theme of the November Goforth Evening Auxiliary meeting held in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.

It was even suggested that keeping a "trouble book", where one could turn in times of turmoil', would list all the , innumerable blessings in his life. If one focuses on the positive, not the negative, it makes things a lot easier. Mrs. Don Procter sang two selections with the harp- sichord. Mrs. 'John Mann stated that one is responsible for his view of life. "You have a choice on how to start the day," she said, adding that the way you choose to begin our days flavors 'everything we do. Mrs. Jim Wilson led in prayer. Mary Lee read passages from "Linings of Silver". She stated that often the happiest times in life are the busiest and most hectic. Mothers looking back realize that the time when children were small and underfoot were their happiest. Men who spend time looking to their retirement realize that the busy days at work held so much happiness.. "Looking for our blessings should also include all aspects of life, even the household con- veniences we all take for granted that add so much to our pleasure and freedom," the speaker•said. "If we look for the silver linings our outlook will certainly im- prove." m- prove." The committee turned the meeting over to the business and the executive. All secretaries submitted their reports for the year and Mrs. John Donaldson installed the new officers. Refreshments were then served. INTREPID REPORTER Katie Rowbotham, a Grade 6 student from the Grey Central Schobl, gave a fascinating presentation on the Bermuda Triangle at an enrichment workshop held for a - number of public school students from -the north of Huron County last Tuesday through Thursday at the F. E. Madill Secon- dary School in Wingham. The three-day workshop was meant to provide extra stimulus for gifted children and the theme of the workshop was "Hooked on Oceans". In spite of being the "creme de la creme" of students from the north of `the county, these children carry on in a fashion like most youngsters. For example, when Mr. Martens told the children they would be sampling sea food in an "Ocean Taste Test", there was a loud chorus of: "Oh no, gross!" For Tara Newell, a Grade 5 student at the East Wawanosh Public School, the three days provided a great experience. "I enjoy this and I enjoy school," enthused Tara, whose teacher had suggested she take part in the workshop. Tara also made a new friend in Carla Mowbray, a Grade 6 student- at the Wingham Public School. Like Tara, Carla also said her teacher suggested she attend the enrichment program. Carla said she is very interested in oceans and learned a lot of t4ew things, especially in her study of whales. For instance, she said she learned that one whale's blubber produces 120 barrels of oil which, in turn, is used to make things such as cosmetics. Colin Darling, a quiet little boy from Grade 4 at the Howick Central School, also attended theworkshop at his teacher's suggestion. He did not offer too much in- formation, but did say he had enjoyed his three days and had learned many .new. things. Robbie Gowing from the Grade 4-5 class at the Brussels Public School said his three days at the enrich- ment program had been "really neat" and he was looking forward to par- ticipating in another workshop. Katie Rowbotham, a pert Grade 6 student from Grey Central School, said she has been 'involved in several other eniEi hh ent programs, but found this one par- ticularly interesting because of her fascination , with oceans. Katie said she also im- proved her "thinking skills" at the workshop and learned how to do , research ef- fectively. "Besides, it was fun missing school for three days," she added. Gordon Welch, a Grade 5 student from Turnberry Central School, proved to be the real cut-up of the group and had the other children in stitches much of the time. However all kidding aside, - Gordon's principal, John Mann, said the boy is a good student and that is why he was chosen for the workshop. The three days were spent doing research on individual projects relating, to the workshop. The highlight of the day on Thursday was the taste test, followed by the presentation of the projects to principals, parents and interested friends. UCW presents fashion show WROXETER — A large crowd attended the fashion show last Tuesday evening sponsored by the United Church Women in the Wroxeter Hall and featuring Joanie's Fashions of Paisley.
