With a membership of 19, the Guild has had an active year. At each meeting held •in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food board room in Clinton the second Tuesday of each month from March to November, members take their turn giving demonstrations or workshops. Weaving on driftwood, proper finishing for woven garments, finger weaving, a display of French-Canadian catalogue weaving and weaving on a cardboard circle have only been a few of the programs. Purposes of the Guild are several—to educate, to en- courage and to provide a stimulus to spinners and weavers. Beginners' classes are taught by a Goderich member, Evelyn Hardy. Ruth Knight, the Goderich weaver who instigaYed the formation of the Guild when she first moved here from Montreal, organizes more advanced workshops in weaving throughout the year. John and Barbara Keer of Brussels instruct in spinning and the president, Toni Vos of Blyth is especially competent in all three of the processes, in- cluding spinning, nature - dyeing and weaving, using ••••••••••••• USE EXPOSITOR WANT - ADS Phone 527-0240 • • • • • • • • • • • • • �I wool from her own sheep.

Huron•Perth Presbytery churches were criticized by lay delegates at Sebringville last week, It was the first meeting of the United Church court under its new chairman, Rev. Norman Gibson, 'Cent- ral, Stratford. The first speaker stated that delegates take time out to attend the •various courts but are 'not given the oppor- tunity to relay their findings to the local congregations. Another delegate indicated that this led to misunder- standings of the church's prorams. He suggested that ministers should not be so possessive of their pulpits that time is not found to allow reports to the local people. The discussion was a result of a special section on the agenda to allow lay delegates to express their views. The chairman found it necessary to admonish the clergy for entering the debate too fre- quently.

Elder; Robert Roberts, Dungannon; Robert Matheson, Thames Road; Bonny Smith, Auburn; and Cy Marzec, Fordwich. Rev. Cecil Wittick was inducted at Calvary, Listowel.

It would have cost over $'00. to move telephone equipment which includes wats lines that arc essential for contact between homemakers and the office," says Jcan Young, Executive Director. ,Dun Thomas, Board mem- ber and a United Church minister in Bayfield, says he has had many occasions to appreciate what Town and Country Homemakers pro - v ides as he visits residents in his arca. "While the dollar and cents value is an impor- tant and practical reason for its existence.•' Rev. Thomas commented. "Town and Country Homemakers meets a much greater need by permitting the elderly, the ill, and the shut-in a degree of independence and dignity by being cared for in their own familiar surroundings. and amidst the support of family and neighbours." Mr. Thomas says he has also seen thc value of home• staking service for those who choose to look after their sick at home. He sacs. "there is little doubt that Town and ( ountr Homemakers is an important relief structure, and I believe it offers an acceptable alternative to those seeking to look after their loved ones who arc incapacitated.•' Deanne Dickson. who is co-ordinating the fund raising campaign from the Wingham office, is working with volun• tecr groups to carry out a door-to-door canvass. Every hone in Huron County will receive a brochure that out- lines the work of the agency and the reasons for thc campaign. with a return en• vclope that does -not need a stamp. Deanne explains, 'Our great hope is that every family will be made aware of the services that are avail, able, and will have the opportunity to contribute. v.helher or not a canvasser calls at their door. We very much appreciate the hours that have been. and will he. given by volunteers who are helping us in this effort to make homemaking service available to everyone in Huron County who needs it, regardless of what portion of the cost they arc able to pay," ,lean Young says most of the homemakers love their work, "They arc 'people' people. ho enjoy helping others". As -one of thc home- makers said. "There is real satisfaction in this work. because you know your help is really needed." Letters of appreciation from recipients of a home• maker's care. are among the rewards. Here are excerpts from two. "No words can express my thankfulness for the help of the homemaker who assisted me in caring for my aged mother. She was kindness itsclr " "Expressions of heartfelt appreciation to someone arc rare. which is perhaps why people often find it•awkward to communicate this feeling.
