Today could have been the day you sold that extra living room furniture IF YOU HAD PLACED A WANT AD MONDAY CALL 357-2320 We will be glad to help you to sell it next week 41: The board now functions with two committees handling most business. The education commit- tee handles most material per- taining to classroom functions and problems while the manage- ment committee deals with ad- ministration and financial matters. The board is split exactly in half when the commit- tees are struck and the both com- mittees meet on the same night at the same time. The changes were prompted by the board's representatioin at a spring seminar dealing with ad- ministering educational matters at the board level. As a result of the meeting, eight recommen- dations were brought to the board and all but one accepted. The one that didn't get appro- val was one- that would change the seating arrangement of trus- tees. Now the education commit- tee sits on one side of the room and the management on the other. The -changes are that the edu- . cation and management commit- tees meet on different nights, allowing members to attend both: that chairmen of all com- mittees give oral progress re- ports of their committee's acti- vities; that the .practice of having a motion moved and seconded be- fore any debate takes place be strictly adhered to; that more al- ternatives be offered the trustees in back-up material rather than positive recommendations; that a more definitive policy regard- ing attendance of board members at, expenses for and reports from conventions be developed; that standing committees give year- end reports and suggest business for the coming year to new com- mitteemembers; and that the board deal more with first-time business and refer less to com- mittees. A committee set up to augment the changes consists of .trustees Charles Rau, Shirley Hazlitt, Dorothy Wallace, Jack Alex- ander and' Clarence McDonald.

Ballagh Tradition seems to have flown out the window as far as the fa- shion world is concerned. No longer are floor -length gowns and formal wear considered after - five apparel; nor is black consi- dered for mourning alone; nor are'hats considered to be part of a well-dressed look. The list could go on and on — gloves now consi- dered part of an old-fashioned Minor injuries in two accidents Two motor vehicle collisions during the past week caused an estimated $3,40Q in property damage and minor injuries to two persons, the Wingham Opp de- tachment reports.

It's all part of the look of the 70s. But last week, it was evident that there was a world where tra- dition still reigns —.and that is the world of royalty: The Queen was celebrating her 25th anniver- sary with special church ser- vices, dinners, balls, social func- tions and parties to mark the oc- casion. And fashion tradition , stood out like a sore thumb! Miss 1. Collar guest speaker at WI meeting Miss Laura Collar was intro- duced by Mrs. Omar Haselgrove as she was guest speaker at the meeting of the Wingham branch of the West Huron Women's In- stitute in the town hall on Thurs- day of last week. • Miss Collar gave a very inter- esting talk on the Holy Land and the different vegetation which is similar to that found here. She said there is a law against pick- ing wild flowers for they are to beautify the countryside. The perfume from the orange tree and similar trees carries for a , mile or more. Grapes are grown on mountainsides and nuts are plentiful. Garlic is used for heart ailment. The land is tilled by oxen and' wooden plough. President Mrs. Robert Powell conducted the business portion of the meeting' which opened with the Ode and Mary Stewart Col- lect. Secretary -treasurer Mrs. 'William McKenzie read the minutes of the last meeting, the treasurer's report and the cor- respondence, An invitation was received from the BIyth Summer Festival,. extending reduced rates for the senior citizens.

A dona- tion was made toward the town flower pots. • Next month's meeting will be in the form of a picnic. Following the meeting, a social hour was enjoyed by everyone. Institute PR workshop held at Whitechurch Bruce South Women's insti- tutes hosted workshops 'at White- church Monday of last week for secretary -treasurers, curators and public relations officers. They had as guests, ladies from part of Huron County in these of- fices, about 80 women in all. The secretary -treasurers' group was under the direction of Mrs. Gordon Wall, District Sec- retary, assisted by Mrs. Donald McKinnon, a past District Secre- tary. The curators' group was under the direction of Mrs. Victor Emerson, District Curator, as- sisted by Mrs. William Arnold, a past District Curator The public relations group was directed by Mrs. Harvey Houston. Provincial Public Relations officer for On- tario Women's Institutes. Mrs, Houston concludes her six-year term in this office this year The first two groups met in the Presbyterian Church basement while the third held its meeting in the Women's Institute Hall. All joined at the WI Hall at noon for lunch. According to ail reports it proved to be a very beneficial day for the new ones in office as well as those who are serving a second or third term. Those who attend- ed went home with fresh enthu- siasm and a clearer insight into their work. One lady was heard to say, "Let's have more workshops! We4 can do a better job if we know how to do it!" • There is nothing wrong with fashion tradition — if you don't mind looking a little old-fashion- ed now and then. If anyone can be known for fashion togetherness, I guess it would be Her Majesty. Her ensemble is always complete and always includes a hat. And at her dinner party, to show respect to the guest of honor, every woman also wore a hat. Perhaps you will remember on \ the Queen's last visit to Canada, a woman Mayor came under fire because she was disrespectful enough to attend a dinner without a hat. The Queen almost always chooses pastels, soft blues, greens, lilacs, yellows and pinks. She chose the latter on her Silver Jubilee Day, just as she had chosen it on the day of her coronation as she rode through London, in the golden' coach. If you can say one thing about royal fashions throughout the last few decades, you can describe it as predictable. 'She hasn't kept up with the changes in the fashion world; I never saw her in a mini, did you? But she has always worn clothes that are classic and lady- like and I can't think of any other famous 'person about whom you can say, "She always looks like a lady". She and other members of the Royal Family have been named the worst dressed by a certain de- signer but he is the type who thinks a woman needs to buy a ' whole new wardrobe every, sea- son or she can't be well-dressed. And they must go down when the lengths dip and go up when they soar or you're not 'with it'. The Queen seldom wears black as tradition makes it a depress- ing. color. White is usually the color chosen for evening gowns. She chooses fabrics that are wrinkle -resistant, especially when she is travelling. Cottons and fabrics that breathe keep her cool in the summer and make her look rose -petal fresh. For evening wear, she likes soft and flowing New members received into United Church Ten new members have been received into the membership of the Wingham United Church, all by transfer of certificate. They are Mr. and Mr's. Harold John- son, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Deyetl,, Mr. and Mrs, E. H. Force, Mrs. War- ren Rich and Murray Baier. They were welcomed into the fellowship of church membership on behalf of the congregation by Rev. Barry Passmore. On;Sunday, during the morning worship service, Mr. Passmore welcomed three infants through the sacrament of baptism, They were Travis Murray Baier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Baier. Wingham; Angela Lynn Leggatt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Leggatt, Goderich ; and Shaun Edward Walker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Walker, RR 5, Wing - ham. fabrics that make her feel and look feminine. Queen Elizabeth's fashion se- cret, as is everyone else's, is not so much what she wears but how she wears it. Her air is one of calm and coolness, so the total look, including clothes, is one of confidence and poise. Her actions are those of a lady so the lady makes the clothes and the clothes, in turn, make the lady. You may not always like her clothes; you may think some of her hats are the joke of the week. But you do have to admit that royal tradition has added a soft- ness and a femininity to the fash- ion world. Though she may not have our freedom of choice in clothes; we would still, if we could choose, like to make people no- ' tice us because we always dress as •a lady should. (C The Howick Grapevine STRATFORD RELAY MEET On Saturday, June 4, the 440 Relay Meet was held in Stratford. The relay teams frpm each divi- sion at Howick participated in this event and'did their best.
