The Residents enjoyed a
Second Sunday evening song
service this month by the Clinton.
Christian Reformed. Church as
there were five Sundays in
March.
Volunteers from Bayfield along
with a new member of the team,
Mrs. Jean Lindsay, assisted with
Monday's activities. Two new
residents were welcomed to the
Home; Austin Dexter of Lon-
desboro and Albert Kitton of
Goderich. Marie Flynn, Mary
Taylor, Norman, Jerry and Terry
provided the music for the oc-
casion.
One hundred students of the
Huron Centennial School of
Brucefield presented their spring
prograni GEE-HAW Tuesday
afternoon. This show was a take
off from the television series Hee
Haw and was a fine display of
talents by the students in the
acting, dancing and singing. The
principal, Arnold Mathers, and
five teachers, Mrs. Carol
LeBeau, Mrs. Alexander, Miss
Bennewies, Mrs. Hunter Duvar
and Mr. Brand directed the show.
Mrs. Hayter a great grand-
mother of one of the students
expressed the appreciation of the
residents.
There were seven tables of
euchre and two of crokinole in
play at Wednesday's games with
volunteers from the Vanastra
Opti Mrs. Club assisting.
Ed Stiles, of Goderich, visited
the Home Thursday afternoon
and played an hour of organ
melodies and accompanied Mrs.
Rogers with several sacred vocal
solos.
Slides and music was the theme
of the program for Family Night
arranged by Mrs. Marjorie
Heuther of Walton. She showed
coloured slides of Florida. Mrs.
Hackwell thanked those
responsible for the program
Joyce F. Bowerman, president
of Ontario Progressive Con-
servative Association of Women,
spoke to a gathering at Huron
Centennial School, Brucefield,
April 3.
In addressing the audience
made up mostly of women, Mrs.
Bowerman opened her remarks
by pointing out the need of in-
tegration of women within all
spheres of society. "Women are
active today," she said, "But I
wonder if they are equal, or if
only a few exceptions are."
Stressing that women them-
selves must strive for this
equality she said, "Women must
earn the right to equal rights and
recognition; many of the
problems which they encounter
are due to their own attitudes. I
think there are no more problems
for women than there are for
men . . . in any field of en-
deavour, even in politics . . they
are just different problems.
Women do need training and self,
confidence, and the en-
couragement to gain it, but
unless they are willing to fight for
their own roles, the fight is
useless."
'Those Were the Days' fashion
show presented by the students at
Centralia College of Technology
proved to be one of the best of all
time.
Mrs. Lissa Taylor, fashion
advisor and co-ordinator at the
Fashion Office of Department of
Industries, Trade and Commerce
in Ottawa praised the students on
the high calibre of the garments
Mrs. Bowerman warned, "We
will not make it, if we try to
overthiow the system. We will
not make it if we cry 'male
chauvinism' at every turn or
setback." She said women will
have to be aggressive and
tougher on themselves while
continuing to be feminine.
"As a female, I do enjoy having
doors opened for me by an at-
tentive male companion. On the
other hand, as a person, sear-
ching for independent
recognition, I want my mind
respected. I am not trying to be a
male . . . I am trying to be an
equal person. I do not expect men
to act as women, and do not plan
to treat them as such. But I would
like them to realize that I can.
think, and plan and organize."
"I believe that it is time the
roles changed, and a greater
equality is established, in all
areas.I don't want the changes to
reverse, so that men are
dominated the way women have
been. It is time women, who are
half of our human resources, took
on a more challenging and
satisfying role."
She said there is a big
challenge open today for women
who want to be involved in
politics. "We are often asked
what our party is doing to en-
courage more women to become
candidates. My answer is our
party is not looking for
and professionalism of the show.
She said the quality of the
teaching, especially in tailoring
matches up extremely well with
three and four year course of
other colleges. Centralia is the
only rural college giving a course
in fashion in Ontario.
Mrs. Taylor judged the formal
designed, constructed and
modelled by Merle Parkhill of
Princton, to be worthy of the
women . . it is looking for good
candidates. It is our role . . . to
encourage a greater par-
ticipation of women in the
political arena by making women
into good candidates."
To do, this, the speaker
suggested, riding committees
plan policy and leadership
training conferences which she
said "will do much to carry you
far forward in your activities.
Try it. The important thing is:
Don't ' just sit there'. do
something."
