Huron County WI
discontinue bursary
At their annual rally held
last Monday at Centralia Coll-
ege, Huron County Women's
Institute members decided to
discontinue their bursary to the
Children's Aid Society for one
year.
After much debate and dis-
cussion on the matter the memb
ers decided that the levy for a
bursary be discontinued this
year and that the money on
hand be spent according to the
original bylaw. It was also
moved that the presidents of
West Huron, East Huron and
South Huron WI districts form a
committee to work with the CA:
For the past few years, the
WI have collected 50 cents from
each WI member in the county
to be used towards the education
of children under the supervision
of the CAS. At the present
there is a total of $2, 100 in the
fund which has never been touch
ed for this purpose.
Pat Shanahan, a representat-
ive of the CAS from Goderich
attended the rally. He explainec
that the CAS Child Welfare
Act has been revised and thay
many things have been added
to it.
The ladies questioned Mr.
Shanahan. however, as to why
they were not informed of the
CAS meetings. They seemed
to feel that there was a distinct
lack of communication between
themselves and the CAS.
Mr. Shanahan questioned
the possibility of using $500
out of the $2, 100 to outfit a
family therapy room in the new
addition to the assessment build-
ing in Goderich; and an addit-
ional $200 for use for literature
and film rental.
The ladies decided, however,
that they would like their siz-
able contribution to be used for
its originally intended purpose.
In other business, the WI
members decided to send a pet-
ition to Premier Wm. Davis and
Hon. John White concerning
regional government.
In short, the petition states
they "are in favor of keeping

burgh. Then he thought better,
and,above "Cameron" he wrote,
"Lord of Locheil, " Then he
thought again, andin front of
that wrote, "Rt. Hon." Only
thing, he couldn't spell Lochiel.
Later that week, in Edinburgh
I was tempted to check at the
address he'd given, but decided
against. Didn't want to spoil a
beautiful myth.
Well, there you are. A Bob,
a Barmaid, and a Brigadier.
Huron County as a unit." They
feel that "Huron County, with
its planning boards' (should) be
allowed to make the decision for
Huron County" and they asked
the provincial government "to
not alter the existing structure
of local government" in the
county.
Almost 200 WI members at-
tended the rally. One of the
highlights was a presentation of
the annual $100 scholarship
cheque and certificate to Mrs.
J. Hasty, R.R.1, Dungannon
on behalf of her daughter Irene,
County Honie economist Jane
Pengilley presented the award
which is made annually to a
deserving 4-H homemaking
club member to help further
her education. Miss Hasty has
entered nursing.
Special guest speaker for the
afternoon was Mrs. M. Whyte,
Seaforth, who by means of a
talk and slides, told the ladies
of her daughter's work in the
Philippines.
Margaret Whyte, and others,
were participating in the Cross-
roads missionary work. She
worked in a Negretto village
with the main emphasis on teacl
ing, everything from the alpha-
bet to homemaking skills. Miss
Whyte has now entered OCE
teachers college in Toronto.
Several interesting displays
were set up, with one of the
most unusual being a button
display, commented on by Mrs.
Leonard Prang on behalf of the
Zurich WI.
Mrs. Prang has about 3,500
buttons, many unusual construct•
ion or design and many others
of historical significance. She
has been collecting buttons for
about four years, but has stepp-
ed up her interest recently and
has collected more than 1, 000
buttons since June.
Mrs. William Dougall com-
mented on the Hurondale WI's
arts and crafts display which
featured many varied items.
Mrs. Eben Weigand pre ented
an interesting demonstration on
behalf of the Dashwood WI on
how to make "organdy" candles.
In other business, Mrs. James
Armstrong, Brussels was install -

One town's so dead, the mayor
gave a visitor a skeleton key to
the city.

fluently while the other fellow
is paying the check.

Some after-dinner speakers
are so windy they should be
called gusts of honor.
