BY MRS. MAC ENGEL
The November meeting of the
Cranbrook W.I. was held at the
home of Mrs. Wilfred Strickler
with Jim Cox as guest speaker. He
showed slides and told of his
experience as a volunteer worker in
Haiti, sponsored by the Missionary
Church, Listowel.
He was a member of a group of
ten volunteers working on a
cement block duplex for missionar-
ies. Haiti is a small island in the
Gulf area with a cost of living much
the same as here. The average
worker gets a wage of $500 a year so
living conditions are poor. There
are no highways, just rough
crooked roads which wear out
motor vehicles completely in about
40,000 miles.
They were warned not to drink
the water which was badly pollut-
ed, but the natives seemed im-
mune although there is a lot of
sickness. There is no middle class,
either very rich or very poor. Jim
showed wicker articles and a chest
made from Haitian oak. They eat
rice and a lot of sugar cane so teeth
are bad and volunteer dentists are
kept busy pulling teeth. There is
malnutrition among the children.
He told of three-inch cockroach-
es and huge spiders. The country is
rapidly becoming a desert as the
result of trees being cut down and
not replaced. It is very dry with
temperature ranging around 104
degrees in daytime. Haiti was a
French colony at one time and the
language is mostly French.
Donations were voted to the
Wingham Area Day Care Centre
for the Homebound and the Poppy
Fund.
The W.I. copy of the new Huron
County Atlas along with the old
atlas will be put on loan in the
library.
Mrs. Donald Perrie brought the
report from the Huron County Fall
Rally at Thames Road and told the
members that the 1986 Rally will be
in Walton.
Mrs. Claire Veitch reported on
the Area Convention at St. Agatha
and mentioned the enjoyable
music by the New Hamburg Bell
Ringers.
Mrs. Veitch will act as Resolutions
Convenor at the District level.
Cranbrook W.I. will be guests of
the Ethel W.I. in December for the
Christmas meeting.
A number of local hunters have
been deer hunting.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Strickler
and the Ralph Adams and John
Vanass families attended an 80th
birthday party at Wolverton for
Wilfred's cousin George Strickler
on Nov. 3 and also visited John
Strickler in the Ingersoll hospital.
The Vanass family visited Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Vink at, Innerkip.
Mrs. Helen Barker of Port Elgin
visited her sister Mrs. Harvey
Smith and they visited their mother
in Preston.
Mrs. George Collins, Shelburne
and her son Robert and Mrs.
Collins and family visited on
Sunday with Don and Mrs. Cotton.
Rick Knight is in Toronto with
the Listowel High School from Nov.

We are pleased to see cartoons in
