Lakelet WI has
25th anniversary
LAKELET — To celebrate the
25th anniversary of Lakelet WI a
hot turkey dinner was served to
about 38 members and former
members in the McIntosh United
Church basement at 1 p.m. Nov.
18.
After the Opening Ode and
Mary Stewart Collect, Mrs. Em-
merson Ferguson led in devo-
tions. The )institute Grace w s
sung before everyone partook
a most delicious meal. Tabl
decorations were in traditional
institute colors. A beautifully
decorated cake (later eaten as
dessert), flanked by two bouquets
of cut morns, adorned the head
table.
Head table guests, introduced
by President Mrs. Harold Wal-
lace, included Mrs. John Free-
man, Huron East District presi-
dent, and Mrs. Stewart Anderson,
Board Director for subdivision
11. Each brought congratu-
lations. Other:; at the head table
were past and present officers of
the institute and they wore yellow
mum corsages.
After a special thank -you to the
McIntosh United Church Women
for catering to such a fine meal,
Mrs. Lyle Murray, secretary -
treasurer, was asked to read the
minutes of the last meeting and
give a financial summary.
Roll call for this meeting was
answered by "A daily task we
had to do 25 years ago that we no
longer have to do." Many an-
swers were given including hand -
milking cows, washing cream
separators, starching clothes,
carrying drinking water, wash-
ing diapers, and washing dishes.
The motto for this occasion,
"Making a house a home takes
many things that money can't
buy," was presented by Mrs.
Percy Huth. She noted that al-
though we have seen many
changes in houses over the past
25 years, we still need the same
ingredients of love, thoughtful-
ness, understanding etc., to make
a house a home.
Mrs. Lyle Murray, accompan-
ied by Mrs. Huth sang "Do You
Remember?" recalling in song a
few of the highlights of the WI.
Mrs. Lloyd Jacques read the
minutes of the organization
meeting of Lakelet WI which was
held in the schoolhouse on Nov.
18, 1952. An "In Memoriam" was
coC s. Cliff Hallman.
1VIrs. Jacques 's ntinued with
reminiscences of Lt ' _ past 25
years bringing to mind interest-
ing and amusing events. Those
present could recall many details
of the events that are now part of
local history.
Many enjoyed a social time of
renewing acquaintances, taking
pictures, and looking at the
Tweedsmuir history book, which
was on display.
The next meeting will be Dec. 1
at 12:30 p.m. The meeting will be
held at the home of Mrs. Harold
Wallace and will be our annual
Christmas dinner meeting with a
gift exchange.
Women of the community are
urgently requested to volunteer
as leaders for the next 4-H
"Focus on Living" before Dec. 1:

member if you can help in this re-
spect.

FLOWER HOUR—Martha Veldhuis of Dundas Spoke to the combined. coffee hours of •
Wingham and Fordwich last week at Wingham Bible'Chapel, She talked on various types
of blooming plants. Miss Veldhuis and her brother run the Ben Veldhuis nursery in
Dundas.
Coffee hour guest speaker
compares flowers to people
Blooming plants of various
types and hues, offset the rainy
weather last Wednesday morning
as the ladies of the combined
Coffee Hours of Wingham and
Fordwich met together at the
Wingham Bible Chapel. After en-
joying warming coffee and home-
made muffins, the speaker of the
morning was Miss Martha Veld-
huis of Dundas. Miss Veldhuis,
along with her.,brother Ben,
operate the familnursery. This
-nursery is well known, as the
Veldhuises are considered to be
the "Cactus Kings" of North
America.
"Flowers have a universal lan-
guage all of their own," said Miss
Veldhuis. A red rose aayS-`I love
you" in all parts of the world. The
infinite variety in plants is a pic-
ture to us of God's extravagance
in beauty and His care for each
one of us. No two flowers are
alike, just as no two people are
alike, but each has a particular
part to play in this world."
"Every good gardener carries
a knife," she continued. Plants
must be cat back to .be kept
healthy. In the same way, God
prunes our lives, thereby enabl-
ing us to develop according to the
way He sees best."
The majority of people kill
their plants by over -watering. A
rule to remember is "when in
doubt, cut it out". Once again
Miss Veldhuis stressed that this
rule can be applied in many areas
of people's lives.
The botanical names for plants
are the same the world over but
are most difficult for the average
plant grower to remember. Much,
More easily remembered are the -
amusing nicknames given, suGll
as a delightful lacy fern type
plant from Australia known as a
"Dizzy Dame". This was some-
thing any gentleman could take
home safely. For the ladies, there
were three different types of
cacti, all "lovely old men": "the
Old Man of Mexico" with his
lovely long white hair, "the Old
Man of Peru", with short white
hair and "the Old Man of the
Andes" who had thorns along
with his white hair. The beauty of
these old gentlemen is, they only
ask for a sunny window and
thrive on "neglect".
In conclusion, the audience was
reminded that in the Book of
Isaiah the Lord Jesus is prophe-
sied as "a root out of dry
ground". This is a miracle as
Grandmother's home
remedies still food
GORRIE — Grandmother had
some good home remedies and
the Women's Institute remem-
bered some of them in the roll
call at their Nov. '16 meeting, held
in the home of Mrs. Wilbur Hogg.
If your -child has a head cold try
putting a woollen cap on his or
her head at night. Molasses and
sulphur purify the blood and
make a great spring tonic. A
linseed poultice can be used for
gas pains or inflamations. Senna
tea is good for relieving constipa-
tion.
Dr. Peter Hemingway, a chiro-
practor from Listowel, was guest
speaker for the evening: He illus-
trated his talk with a stainless
steel model of a skull with at-
tached vertebrae. Dr. Heming-
way told thee women that head-
aches, backaches and arthritis
are so -me of the problems that
can be treated with chiropractic.
Mrs. Martin Scott gave a short
discourse entitled "We are what
we eat". Mrs. Scott stressed the
importance of a healthy, bal-
anced diet and the effect of nutri-
tion on one's physical well-being.
Several women from the Gorrie
WI attended the workshop held at
Ethel recently. The workshop
was entitled "Choosing and Using
Fabrics" The women were
shown how to i ecogni ze proper-
ties of fabrics, how to care for
them, and how to determine
which fabric to use for a specific
purpose.

Glenn Johnston gave the high-
lights of the Thursday afternoon

called the'Rose of Sharon and the
Lily of the Valley."
