Col- lar with the president, Mrs. Kilpatrick, presiding. "0, Love that Wilt Not Let Me Go" was the opening hymn and the president led in prayer. Mrs. Frank Collar gave a report on the book "Golden Boats from Burma" by Gordon Langley Hall. This is the story of Ann Hasseltine, who married Adoniram Judson, and sailed shortly afterwards from the New England States to Burma as the first missionaries to that coun- try. The hardships and heart- breaks they endured were al- most unbelievable but they re- mained steadfast and after six years won their first convert. They laid the foundation for what has become a great Bap- tist work. This year the Bap- tists there are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Jud - sons' arrival in Burma. A report of progress in the Baptist work in Quebec was given by Mrs. Sinclair. The ladies joined in a season of prayer. Mrs. Jack Currie gave a de- votional talk on "The Good Shepherd" . John 10: 4, 5,14 and Psalm 23. In likening Christians to sheep we find that sheep will not drink from troub- led waters they must have still, clear waters — and just so Christians need to come before the Lord in quietness and peace before they can feast upon His blessings and hear His voice speaking, "The Well -Ordered Home" was the title of a helpful article read by Mrs. Bill Stapleton. It stated that the family altar is a "must" in every Christian home. with husbands as guests, on Feb- ruary 25th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Freddie Templeman. A March of Dimes report was given by Mrs. Maurice Stainton. The total to date, collected in Wingham, is 500,15. There is some money yet to come in. The Kinettes would like to thank all those who assisted in this canvass and helped make it such a success. The date for the P.U.C. Cooking School was set for April 10th. Tickets for this will be sold by the Kinettes. The raffle was won by Mrs. Murray Gerrie. Mrs. Maurice Stainton in- tro duced the guest, Miss Pat- rica Heywood. Miss Heywood demonstrated a 1963 hair style and also answered questions on the care and grooming of hair. Mrs. Cy Robinson thanked Miss Heywood on behalf of the Kin- ettes. A penny auction, conducted by Mrs, Merv. Templeman and Mrs. Freddie Templeman was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Jack Walker and Mrs. Eric Walden served a delicious lunch and the meeting adjourned. These Christian homes do not just happen, they are built. The enemy of Christian homes fights against them but God is stronger than Satan. If child- ren are to go out from their homes to live and to witness for Christ, it is going to re- quire dedication and sacrifice on the part of parents. The parent himself needs to be molded by Christ that he might have the wisdom of the Lord in training his children. Mrs. Bruce MacLean read an article entitled "The Christ- ian's Code of Conduct".• A hymn was sung and Mrs. Mac- Lean closed the meeting in prayer.

Qui tine S Quilting to while away the long winter evenings is a pleas- ant habit many Canadian wo- men inherited from theirgrand- mothers. However, unlike Grand- mother, many of today's home sewers quilt by machine, sav- ing many hours of labor and producing a quilt of uniformly sturdy construction. The home sewer in quest of a new quilting project will en- joy mai<ing a little gingham and cotton broadcloth spread that can be used on both baby's crib and carriage. Its com- plete washability makes it es- pecially appealing to Mother, and its perky little dog's tail, standing away from the quilt, makes it irresistible to baby. Here are machine -devised instructions for ma,<ing this e rec c P ec sc quilted spread in the standard 34 inch by 44 inch size. Materials: 14 yards of white broadcloth; 2-Z yards of ging- ham; 2-. yards of old terry cloth towels may be used as filler or sheet cotton; button for eye (or eye may be stitched); red flannel for collar and ton- gue (or these may be stitched). Cutting procedure for quilted spread: cut two pieces of ging- ham, each 35 inches by 45 in- ches. Cut one piece white broadcloth to measure 35 inch- es by 45 inches. For border: from center of one of the 35 inch by 45 inch gingham pieces cut out a piece 18 inches wide by 28 in- ches long to leave a border trim that requires no seaming. For center motif: trace dog outline, omitting tail, from nt Project child's coloring book or story book. Transfer tracing with dressmaker carbon to the 18 inch by 28 inch piece of ging- ham cut from center of border. Stitching procedure: baste the 18 inch by 28 inch gingham to center of large white broad- cloth piece. Applique dog by stitching around outline using the zigzag stitch. Cut away excess fabric as close to stitch- ing as possible. Next place filler (old terry cloth towels are suitable and economical) between gingham and broadcloth. Pin. Baste firmly in rows three inches to four inches apart from gingham side, making sure no largebast- ing stitches appear on right or white side. Fold fabric on true bias and press a line. Fold bias again, this time in opposite direction and again press in line. Using quilting foot attachment for sewing machine and its space guide, proceed to stitch mak- ing parallel lines in one direc- tion until complete. Now start at your opposit fold line and stitch in same manner to complete diamond shape quilt pattern. To make border: place 8-1 inch gingham border on ging- ham side of quilt, right sides together. Stitch around out- side edge allowing al inch seam. Trim corners and turn border to right side of quilt. Press edges. Turn under Z of an inch inside edges of border, clipping corners. Topstitch to quilt. Make dog's tail by cutting out two pieces of fabric in shape of tail. Allow al inch for seams. Place right sides together and stitch, leaving bottom open. Turn right sides out and stuff tightly with cot- ton. Turn raw seams in and hand -stitch tail securely to dog. Good Drainage Essential for Potted Plants An unthrifty plant is often caused by waterlogged soil which is the result of poor drainage. To ensure good drainage when potting up seed- lings and rooted cuttings, horti- culturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture give the following advice: With small pots, drainage is supplied by placing coarse ma- terial such as peat or moss in the bottom of the pot. With larger pots, including those in which the plants will remain for some time, place pieces of broken flower pots concave side down as well as some roughage over the drainage hole. Cover the drainage material with a soil mixture that is fairly low in nitrogen, and finer than that used for older plants. Add enough soil so that when the young plant is placed in the pot, it is about the same depth as in the seedling flat. Add more soil, tap the bottom of the pot on the bench and at the same time firmly press down the soil with your fingers to en- sure good contact between soil and roots. Level the soil leav- ing enough space at the top of the pot for watering. STAINFREE PORCELAIN Discolored porcelain tubs can be bleached by scrubbing with a brush dipped in a paste made of equal amounts of six - percent hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar. Light rust stains will vanish if rubbed with a cut lemon. For stub- born rust marks use a five -per- cent solution of oxalic acid, obtainable from the drug store. Use rubber gloves and apply the acid with a soft cloth. Rinse immediately or the sur- face will he etched. When your budget needs stretching, or unexpected com- pany appears, make a bread stuffing and use it for making the meat or fish dish go further. Try the stuffing with baked fish, chops, roasts or meat loaf and you'll find two portions can be turned into three. Macdonald Institute, Guelph, tells us that 12 cups bread crumbs can substitute for 1 cup of flour in a muffin recipe. Also, use bread crumbs for thickening gravy or soup. Intended for last week The B&PW Club held its monthly dinner meeting in the Presbyterian Church basement on Tuesday evening with 28 members and visitors present. International Night was the theme of the meeting and the tables were decorated with flags and candles. After the dinner the pro- gram committee, consisting of Miss Shirley Edgar, Miss Isabel Fortune and Miss Leah Robertson, took charge. Mrs. Carl -Douglas favored with a solo, accompanied by Mrs. J. Ostrom. Miss Fortune gave a most interesting talk on her trip last summer to the Inter- national Congress at Oslo, Nor- way, at which 52 Canadians attended, giving highlights of the program and some of the important speakers from the various countries, Africa, Ja- pan, India, Australia, Italy and France. Miss Robertson showed slides of her trip last summer to England, France, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Norway, Sweden and the trip over the Artic Circle. Mrs. George Scott thanked Miss Fortune and Miss Robertson. Miss Yvonne McPherson, the president, took charge of the business and a donation was made to the Pamallah project in Jordan, for the sup- port of seven girls at the train- ing centre there.
