lunch served by the ladies. Mrs.
Mamie Sutcliffe introduced the
program with dance numbers
by Eliza Lindsay, vocal duets
by Reverend and Mrs, Warr,
Muriel Harrison and Helen
Lindsay, readings by Mrs.
Crozier, and Mrs, Van Arman,
old tyme music by Joan and
Allan Schram. Mrs. Mosack
who celebrated her 97th birth-
day this month thanked the
ladies on behalf of the
residents.
The residents were enter-
tained on Family Night with a
travelogue of Australia, New
Zealand and Hawaii with Mrs.
Edith Landsborough giving the
commentary and Mrs. Bert Jer-
vis operating the projector.
Mrs. Murray Forbes played the
piano before the pictures and
during the intermission,
I almost hesitate to tell you
Omit this but I really can't
think of another topic for this
column and deadline time is
here. So I've decided to throw
caution to wind and relate the
strange tale of my ivy plant.
During the winter on one of
these cold bleak days with no
sun, only bitter biting wind, my
daughter presented me with a
small but healthy ivy plant. I
was overjoyed. I've always
loved green things but I'm no
gardener ,.. and it doesn't take
my green things long to become
brown things and finally dead
things.
"It is no wonder," chastises
my husband. "You forget to
water them. The poor plants
thirst to death,"
Ile's right, I told myself. This
time it will be different. This
time I will watch over my ivy
plant, I will water it faithfully,
I will see it flourish into
something lovely.
The first few weeks were fine.
I sat the ivy in a bright but not
too bright spot. I tended it
faithfully. It rewarded me by
shrivelling up one entire
branch and allowing it to fall
limp and lifeless onto the floor.
After that, I lost heart. I
must admit I fell off caring for
my ivy plant. I neglected to
water it regularly and except
for the times when the cleaning
lady sloshed it with liquid, the
poor plant was left alone.
And then one day not long
ago, I passed by my ivy plant
and took a look at it there,
struggling valiantly for life. Its
soil was parched. Its leaves
were turning yellow.
Suddenly I remembered a
movie I'd seen with Barbra
Streisand called "On A Clear
Day You Can See Forever". I
remembered that in the movie,
Miss Streisand had played the
part of a gal who had a talent
for making things grow. And
she claimed the secret was in
talking to her plants ... treating
hem as living, breathing souls.
"What the heck," I thought.
'Maybe there's something to
his business of talking to
lants. I've heard others talk
bout it. Maybe I should con-
uct a small experiment in that
irection."
The seventh meeting of the
portswear Report" was held
Wednesday April 18, 1973
Clinton Public School.
We opened the meeting with
e 4-H Pledge. Each member
swered the roll call of "a
ggestion for our club's
ashion Show."
Our two commentators for
3 Fashion Show are Sheila
algliesh and Brenda Ball.
The minutes of the sixth
eeting were read by Jo-Anne
ollins.
We received blue duo-tangs
n which we are to make our
wn design. We filled in our
Anyway I moved my sickly
looking plant from its lonely
corner in the diningroom to the
centre of attention in the mid-
dle of Our kitchen table.
"There you are ivy plant," I
told it. "Welcome to the
family."
• That evening when hubby
and the children came home
and were seated around the kit-
chen table for dinner, I ex-
plained my 'plan.
"From now on," I explained,
"Ivy (that's her first name, sur-
name plant) will sit in the mid-
dle of our table. She will be one
of us, And each time you sit
down at the table for a meal, a
snack or for any purpose, you
are expected to address Ivy
with a civil tongue as you
would any member of the
family."
You can imagine the reaction
that got from my family. My
two teenagers looked at each
other, then at me, then at their
father and finally back at each
other with that expression that
means, "She's at it again."
My husband took the
suggestion in his usual manner
- unmoved.
"Pass the potatoes," was his
response," and don't burn
Ivy,"
Our youngest son wasn't
quite certain that he was in-
volved in this latest family ad-
venture.
"You haven't spoken to Ivy,"
I chided him.
The poor little guy waved
rather weakly at the plant and
muttered, "Hi Ivy" in his
smallest voice, glancing quickly
at his father to see if he'd lost
favor with his favorite man.
"It's okay son," my husband
assured him. "We have to do
these things sometimes to keep
mom happy,"
Well I'm here to tell you
folks, it has worked. Ivy Plant
is flourishing like no ivy I've
ever seen. Her leaves shine. Her
stems are strong. She's
shooting out new sprouts all
over the place. And when you
speak to her, I swear you can
almost see her sway with
pleasure.
There's only one thing I'm
worried about. What happens
when she gets too big for the
table?

The fifth meeting of Clinton
III was held on Wednesday,
April 4, at the Clinton Public
School.
The meeting was opened
with the 4-H Pledge. The girls
answered the roll call of "how
they plan' to incorporate stret-
chy seams into their garment."
The minutes of the fourth
meeting were read by Debbie
Cook.
BY WILMA OKE
Mr. and Mrs. Gregor
McGrew of Brucefield
celebrated their golden wed-
ding anniversary Saturday with
a reception held in Brucefield
United Church attended by a
wide host 'of friends and neigh-
bours. A family dinner was
held at the Church as well.
Married April 21, 1923, at
the Brucefield United Church
manse by the Rev. vv.p, McIn-
tosh, Mrs, McGregor recalls
that the church bell was rung
by her Sunday school class
when the minister lowered the
window shade to indicate the
ceremony was over.
For 42 years they farmed on
the second concession of
Tuckersmith Township, at R.R.
.5, Clinton, until retiring to
Brucefield in 1965.
Mrs. McGregor is the former
Elizabeth Aikenhead of
Brucefield, daughter of the late
Mr.• and Mrs. William
Aikenhead. Mr. McGregor is a
son of the late Mr. and
McGregor of Stanley Township.
The couple has one son,
Fred, of Brucefield. There are
two grandsons, Larry and
Glenn, and a granddaughter,
Karen.
Among the many
congratulatory messages
received was a letter from Lady
Gregor McGregor and her son,
Sir Gregor McGregor, who is
chief of the McGregor Clan at
Craggan Home, Lochearnhead,
Perthshire, Scotland. The let-
ter contained a gift of white
heather.
Other telegrams included
those from Governor General
Roland Michener, Prime
Minister Pierre Trudeau,
Premier William Davis, Robert'
Stanfield,. Robert McKinley,
M.P., Huron, and MPP Jack
Riddell who presented a plaque
from the Province.
Mrs. McGregor keeps busy
making quilts and knitting. Mr.
McGregor's main hobby is his
40-acres of bush on the 4th con-
cession of Stanley Township.
This year the bush produced
about 15 to 16 gallons of maple
syrup.
A committee of Diane,
Collins, Jo-Anne Collins, Kelly
Colquhoun, Donna Johnston
and Patsy Proctor was formed
to discuss a theme for the
Fashion Show.
The sixth meeting of Clinton
III was held on Wednesday,
April 11, at the Clinton Public
School. We opened the meeting
with the roll call which was
"how I plan to care for my gar-
ment after it is finished." The
minutes of the fifth meeting
were read by Jo-Anne Collins.
Our garments must be han-
ded into our leaders by April
27.
We filled in our hand-out
sheet and then Mrs. Divok
demonstrated the mock cuff
and the regular cuff.

The April meeting of the
Huronview Ladies' Auxiliary
was held on April 16th in the
Craft Room at Huronview with
president Mrs. Colclough
presiding. The meeting opened
with the members repeating the
Lord's Prayer in unison and
the minutes of the previous
meeting were read and ap-
proved. Mrs. Colclough
welcomed all present and
reported on the project to buy a
Van type vehicle for use of the
wheel chair residents and
others who find it difficult to
get into and out of a standard
motor car. The project has been
named "Rides for Residents"
and the response from service
clubs, fraternal organizations
and women's institutes has
been heartening. Some are
pledging a donation of money
and some, are planning money;
raising affairsv Cheques should t
be made out to: "Rides for —
Residents" and sent to Mrs.
Wilfred Colclough at Clinton,
Ontario.
