After an evening of dancing the highlight was the arrival of Santa who distributed gifts which revealed the names of Secret Pals. Lunch was served by the social committees. The Exeter Kinettes held their Christmas meeting December 16. Several relatives from this district attended Mrs. Clayton Prouty's 80th birthday party December 19 at Dundas.

How those seconds are filled determines how we are fulfilled. The Home Economics director, Miss Helen McKercher was retiring but this branch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food is continuing its good work. At that time Mrs. Clara Gouge and Miss Margaret Myers were continuing 4-H work and bringing out some new projects. Another officers conference is planned for May 3-5 at Waterloo University. The Federated News has a new editor in Mrs. Martinuke of Alberta. The Adelaide, Hoodless Home and Erland Lee Home are continuing to be improved and`` plans are being made for the next Trienniel National Convhntion possibly to be held in Regina in June 1979. Hopefully the new Women's Institute Hall, built of logs at Milton, will be ready in the spring and over an extended period the story of Women's Institute from the beginning 80 years ago will be set up inside. $13,896.13 was raised in 1975 through Pennies for Friendship to help the women of the world and over $6,000 was raised for nutrition education in India and other countries. Other activities include scholarships, a rest area at the Royal Winter Fair and rural education of women in underprivileged countries. The convention was chaired on the first morning by Mrs. Wallace Laidlaw, area president. In her address, she also stressed the theme by advising women to use time wisely, allowing for cessary leisureQbut not letting e slip away, With busy days and-mounting pressures, learn to appreciate time. During the afternoon program, crafts were displayed and Mrs. Clara Gouge introduced the new projects coming up for both 4-H clubs and seniors. All of us should take time for people and make the most of all opportunities to develop talents, be flexible and enthusiastic. Getting involved and making new friends are the extra benefits gained from 4-H clubs stated Miss Diane Gibson who has completed 14 projects. She and Miss Janet Cobban of Mount Brydges were later the recipients of two Maryn Pardy memorial scholarships presented at the banquet in the evening: , Winners must be 4-H members •,_z and are chosen for their academic and personal qualifications. To conclude the afternoon program a humorous skit, "Fitting your Pattern" was presented by two ladies. Guest speaker at the evening banquet was Rev. Grant IL MacDonald of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Kitchener, who gave an entertaining, but thought provoking address, forsaking the theme for thoughts on "Our Rights". People today are so busy demanding their rights that Canadians are becoming a militant nation. A new attitude has to be developed based on justice, love and ex- celling. Entertaining during the evening were the Bell Canto singers led by Mrs. Marion Coyle. Mrs. Wesley Bradnock, Auburn, conducted the business session on the second morning and all the committee reports were given in the form of a TV or radio broadcast. This added a new note of interest to that part of the proceedings that can easily become boring, Some in- vigorating music was provided by the band of drums and wind Flowering plants can add to the festive flavor of your home during the holiday season. With proper care, some Christmas plants will last through the year until they can be planted outdoors in the spring, says T. J. Blom, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. One attractive flowering plant is the azalea, native to Asia and a member of the rhododendron family. It takes about two years to grow a cutting into a marketable plant. Mr, Blom suggests azaleas be kept in a sunny place but at cool tem- peratures (10 to 15 degrees C). Although they may do well in warmer temperatures, too much heat may cause withering. With optimum conditions and frequent watering, azaleas can survive through the winter to be put in the garden in late spring, The Christmas cactus, also called lobster or crab-claw cactus, is another traditional Christmas plant. Although the plant requires plenty of light, direct sunlight should be avoided -- especially in the spring. To ensure that the plants have a long life, the soil should be kept moist but not wet and temperatures should be cool. The most common Christmas plant is the poinsettia. As they range in size and color, they can be used as centerpieces on coffee tables, or as floor plants for decoration. The bright-colored leaves (or bracts) are traditionally red, but are also available in white and pink. Poinsettias should be kept in a cool, well-lit location, free from drafts. Change in temperature will cause the leaves to drop off. Poinsettias can be kept over the year to flower again next Christmas if they are put in continous darkness for 12 hours a day, eight to 10 weeks before you wish them to flower. Cyclamen, available in shades from white to red, should also be kept in a cool place free from drafts, and should be watered thoroughly when necessary. Another popular Christmas plant is the chrysanthemum. Once in bloom, it can be kept anywhere in the house, even One of Santo's Reindeer By BRAD SHOEBOTTOM J.A.D. McCurdy On Christmas Eve Santa was late. Rudolph was mad, when he went to take a drink the water turned red. When he was going to eat his grain it went sparkly red. Then Rudolph remembered the "off" switch. The light went off. Now Santa wasmot late. Christmas Day By WENDY LEE J.A.D. McCurdy C is for the Christ Child born on Christmas day H is for the Howling night that they had to travel through. R is for the Ringing Bells that sang in the town. I is for the Icicles that hung on the stable. S is for the Shepherds that brought Him the gold, frankincense and myrrh. T is for the Christmas tree which we decorate. M is for Mary, the mother of the , child. A is for the Angels that went to tell the shepherds. S is for the Star that shone all night and day. D is for the day He was born. A is for the Angels that stayed by his side. Y is for the happy New Year that followed day by day. That is what I think Christmas Day means to me. The Visitor in the Night By GEORGE TOMES Grade 6 J.A.D. McCurdy I was bound and determined to catch Santa Claus this year. I had traps and burglar alarms all over the house. I had T.V. scanners, nets and tin cans. I even had the tree bugged. If he tried to,come I had him. All I had to do was remain in bed and listen. All of a sudden I heard seven alarms being triggered, three nets fall and five traps snap. I looked at my scanners but I couldn't see anything. I determined I had caught him, I laid down and went to sleep. When I got up I had the shock of my life. There was my cat caught in the webbing of t traps. Besides all that th r thing was grey with , ' ell, I guess I'll have to get him next year. instruments of Grade 8 Strat- fordville Public School. Next year the convention is to , be held at Vanastra, hosted by ' Huron west and south, It will take place on September 28 and 29. Officers for the coming year are president, Mrs. Leonard Caffyn, Ingersoll; first vice- president, Mrs. Keith Heipleh, Springfield; second vice- president, Mrs. Gordon Papple, Seaf orth ; secretary, Mrs. Wilfred Keutsch, Sebringville; treasurer, Mrs. Clifford Ritchie; Parkhill; public relations officer, Mrs. George Wright, London, low-light areas. This plant should be kept in a cool place, and should be watered thoroughly when the soil becomes dry to the touch. A Christmas pepper plant will not only serve as an at- tractive decoration, but can also add zest to the dinner plate. according to Mr. Blom, peppers from the plant are edible and can be fried, dried or eaten raw. In caring for a pepper plant, less water is required than for other Christmas plants; but it should not be allowed to dry out, With proper care, this plant will live all year round. When watering Christmas plants, Mr. Blom recommends using melted snow or rainwater at room temperature.
