WI hear history of
Van Egmond home
By Hilda M. Payne
Restoring the Van Egmond
Homestead to the period of
1865 is the amibtious project of
the Van Egmond Foundation
in Seaforth and was ably describ-
ed by Mr. David Ring at the May
meeting of the Hensall Women's
Institute held at the Hensall
Legion Hall on Wednesday,
May, 12.
Colonel Van Egmond is famous
for opening the Huron Tract
from Goderich to Guelph, and
he built the homestead in 1847
but never lived there himself.
His son, Anthony lived there
around 1865 and it is to this
period that the house is being
furnished as a typical example
of life along the Huron Tract
before Confederation.
Slides showing the original
walls and newspapers of 1863
stuck to the floors illustrate the
type of restoration already
carried out and promise an excit-
ing future for the "living mu-
seum" being aimed for.
Grandmothers were the special
guests invited to this meeting
and the meeting was opened
by the new president, Joyce
Pepper, reading a poem on
Grandmothers. Named as voting
delegates to the district annual
at Crediton on May 20 were
Jessie McAllister, Joyce Pepper
and Hilda Payne.
Those going to get in touch
with Joyce before that date,
regarding the potluck luncheon.

of the Blossom Tea at Huronview

tributions of Aprons from the

A letter was read from the
Children's Aid, Goderich, a
membership card received from
the Association for the Mentally
Retarded and a reminder about

mage Sale at Huron Park on

Joyce Pepper reminded
members that Achievement Day

Payne reminded members to

Pot on June 9 at 7:30 p.m. after

Jancie reported difficulties in
finalizing arrangements for the
13us Trip to Niagara Region
in June.
Mrs. Pepper gave an account
of the Officer's Conference which
she attended at Waterloo. Several
of the speakers dwelt on Agricu-
lture, more money than ever is
being spent on food; urban
growth is being carefully weighed
against agriculture.
Regarding Women's Institute,
we must accept change, but keep
it under control. When we see
new ideas we should accept the
challenge and always try to
provide the opportunity for
others to take part. Communica-
tion is a complex subject; there
is what you mean to say, what you
actually say, what the other
person hears, what he under-
stands and what he thinks he
heard. We must believe in
love and accepting others.
Two readings were given,
"A Perfect Member" by Joyce
and "What is a Mother" by
Gladys Coleman.
