Nimble fingers are tak- ing polythene film and trans- forming it into decorative French poodles.... posh pooches that are distinctive yet fun to make. The poodles are made al- most entirely of porn -pons, and fourteen are required for each pup - three for each leg, one for the bead and a smaller one for the tail. The porn -pons are made exactly the same way as woolen ones, using one -inch strips of the plastic film instead of wool yarn. Polythene film can be bought by the yard at most hardware stores or the plastic hags dry cleaners return clothes in will do. It takes the film from one garment bag to make a plump pom-pon about the size of a tangerine. Since this project is princi- pally one of pom-pon mai<ing, a suggestion for cutting down the time required to ma,<e them should be welcome. The usual way is to wind the yarn - or in this case the one -inch strips of plastic - around two doughnut shaped pieces of cardboard, However, in order tt., eminate the threading of the p1.:,tic • through the centre h:.ie eat;h time, simply cut a [t.'riew slice away from the dough:F,+ rings.

The face is a cork ith two black map pins for eyes, and a thump or carpet tac.. ;, used for the nose. A ribbon bow at the neck is a nice finishing touch, but one that is purely a matter of choice. Since polythene film can be bought in a range of colors - blue, pink, yellow and green, it's possible to make a litter that is as colorful as it is fetch- ing. Lloyc Ccsemore Wec Former Wing-icm Gird A quiet but pretty wedding took place in Bright's Grove on Saturday afternoon when Rev. Milson performed the wedding ceremony uniting in marriage June Anne Kechnie of that place, and Lloyd George Case - more of Wingham. The bride is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. T, Groves of Wingham and the groom is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs, Thomas Casemore who were also residents of Wingham, The bride wore a blue dress with over -lace and blue acces- sories. She carried a white Bible, Her only attendant was her daughter, Marilyn Kechnie of Bright's Grove, who wore a blue flowered dress with match- ing accessories. S The best man was C. J. Stan wick of Toronto, brother-in- law of the groom. The reception and wedding dinner was at the Village Inn, Sarnia. Attending from this district were Mr. and Mrs. Al- vin Higgins and family, Mr. and Mrs. Don Cameron, of Wingham and Mr. and Mrs. Herman Casetnore and Bonnie of Lakelet. For the wedding trip to the United States Mrs. Casemore wore a brown striped two-piece summer suit and matching ac- cessories. They returned to To- ronto this week to attend the Lions International Convention. Mr. and Mrs. Casemore will live in Wingham, in the house formerly owned by Robert Viv- ian in Lower Wingham. New Luggage Racks Within Women's Reach At one time, women travel- ling in railway coaches had cause for complaint... unless they happened to be six feet tall! The overhead luggage rack was too high to reach un- aided, and there wasn't always a cavalier handy to lend ahand. However, the plight of the "little" woman has now been vastly improved, at least by one railway. Recently the Canadian Na- tional Railway Company reno- vated the -coaches of their nine crack Super Continental trains. One of the most practical changes they made was to in- stall a roomy luggage rack at the end of each car. Composed of three deep shelves, the low- est about ten inches from the ground and the highest at eye level, the rack is wonderfully convenient for storing suitcases, without undue lifting. Also, it eliminates the necessity of tot- tering down the aisle with a suitcase in either hand. Women travellers put con- venience on a par with comfort and speed, and it's smart rail- way that offers her all three, BED BATH A daily bath is beneficial to most patients and it may be given in bed. It is necessary for cleanliness and also for its refreshing effect. Before com- mencing the hath, everything that will be required should be assembled—face cloths, towels, soap, clean gown (warmed if the day is cold), and dusting powder and cologne for the wo- man patient. Care should be taken to shield the bed from drafts. If the patient is able to help in washing herself and brushing her teeth and hair, she should be allowed to do this, to avoid the feeling of helpless dependence. MAKE FIRE DRILL A REGULAR PRACTICE Fire drill in the home may save the life of some member of the family. Even in a bun- galow, in case of heavy smoke and darkness, a child or an adult may become panic- stricken and be unable to escape to safety, A family routine, with everyone knowing exactly how to get out of the house and if there is time, performing his particular safety job, will help to prevent the tragic hap - peeing where someone is found close to a door or window, but found too late. The drill should be regular practice performed in darkness as well as light. THRIFTY MEAT BUY Shoulder pore chops usually sell for a few cents less per pound than rib or loin chops. They are less tender but canbe panfried, baked or braised in liquid. USE COCOA For chocolate cakes, sprinkle the bottom of the greased pan with cocoa, not flour, to avoid the grayish bottom crust.

You very well might after visiting Upper Ca- nada Village, a make-believe community which depicts the life and times of Canada before it became a nation almost a century ago. By day the shadowy spectres tug at your coatsleeve to show you all there is to see, By night they stand vigil behind windows ever wary of strangers Your imagination works overtime. But you'll find the "props" far too life-Iike to simply shrug everything off as [sake -believe. The mood is magnificently 19th century right down to the hoof prints and wa- gon tracks in the dust of its roadways, The mail coach, for in- . stance, is every hit as real as the original product. Just as authentic are the bricks and mortar of Cook's Tavern, the stone and stucco of the village blacksmith shop, the axe -hewn logs of Glengarry schoolhouse, or the white -painted clapboard of Willard's hotel. Just how Upper Canada Vil- lage came about is common knowledge to Ontario folk. But for the uninformed, it is liter- ally a composite of buildings removed from the St. Lawrence valley to make the seaway and power project possible. From the memorial mound near where the Battle ofCry- sler Farm was fought in Nov- ember, 1813, you see a broad expanse of water. it is a man- made lake - a strange head- stone for eight river communi- ties which never dreamed of being invaded by the march of progress. Old-time residents were bit- ter when their homesites had to he shifted in advance of the flooding and relocated onhigh- er ground. This was how t'p- per Canada Village was crea- ted. It was as if one of the eight flooded communities was lifted by magic and set down in a new but familiar environ- ment. Even in its restored state, it is the most authentic, most complete showpiece of early Canadiana. And reduced to its simplest terms, it is a 85 -acre tract of partially wooded land, seven miles east of Morrishurg and about 260 miles east of To- ronto on Highways 401 and Within its boundaries are some 15 houses, two churches, two taverns, several barns, a general store, a school, two water -powered mills turning out blankets and lumber, a post office, an operational printing shop,acabinetmaker's shop, a black -smith shop, a bake oven, a farm cotnplex and a military installation. It opened its 1964 season with several new acquisitions which include a cheese factory (eira 1864), a river museum, another hake oven that pro- duces 100 loaves a day, anash- e r y , and a log cabin of the type in which first settlers would have spent the winter, There is also a new nine -hole golf course near the site, and a miniature railway is expect- ed to be in operation by mid- summer, To tour it properly, you'd need a full day. Many visitors make it a two-day visit. There is much to absorb your interest in this commu- nity of unforgotten ghosts from an almost forgotten past, Proper Settings For Gracious Dining at Home To start tht day right, be- gin with a cheery informal breakfast. Use colourful dishes and gleaming silver flatware against a gay tablecloth or place mats. Silver flatware pieces used for the average breakfast are: grapefruit(orange) spoons or regular teaspoons wili do; cereal (dessert) spoons: luncheon Knives and forks; Nut- ter spreaders; small teaspoons. The most important meal of the day is dinner. It doesn't matter if this is a "company" ureal or for "the family' the table should reflect comforr- able, gracious dining. Silver flatware pieces: oup spoons, butter spreaders, a .nniet• knives and forks, (luncheo size will do for a simple t!. course meal), luncheon or salad forks for dessert; if d, - sert is pudding. ice cream. 'tc., regular teaspoons may be us:d. add carving knife and fou, vegetable serving spoons, salad servers, pie knife if dinner is served at the table. Baking sheets require no greasing for rolled or icebox cookies, but do require greas- ing for dropped batters or cookie bars,
