Tolerance, topic at Huron East meeting When it come to "Tolerance" Diane Hahn of Monkton seems to have a full grasp on it, as she is a busy mother of six children who wears many hats - each one teaching tolerance in a different way. Hahn was guest speaker at the Huron East District Annual on Tuesday at the Molesworth Presbyterian Church. She kept those in attendance entertained as well as informed as she changed her hats. Her first hat was FUN-when one wants to be zany and devil may dare. This applies when a situation arises over which one has no control. One needs tolerance to overcome obstacles in one's path and be able to laugh at the situation after the problem has been resolved. The second one - MOTHER'S hat - when one has children this is where all mothers learn tolerance, as they will be sure to test any limitation that may be set. Diane's third hat was CONSTRUCTION. When her house was being renovated many unusual obstacles had to be tolerated. Because she was on a very busy schedule her husband learned to perform many household duties, wherein he learned tolerance. The EVERYDAY hat told how her family hosted children from other countries and while they were all seated around the table she realized that sometimes people look too hard for the differences in people, but Canadians try to blend in with all others and be tolerant. The HOSPICE hat assists families who have terminal illness in the family and after death has occurred. Her ENVIRONMENTAL hat is worn to ask everyone to pay attention to conservation. People should "Bloom where you are planted. Blossom with what you have and make the best of it," she said. Diane finished her presentation with this thought "Life is 10 per cent of what happens to me and 90 per cent of how I react to it." The two resolutions drafted by Subdivision 11 were passed and Jean Mathers thanked the membership for their support. Renate Rose, board director gave her report from the spring meeting. She suggested that the branch programs should have a meaningful purpose, be current and meet changing lifestyles of the family and community. There is approximately $337,000 in the Headquarters Fund. FWIO's new focus is "Safe, Healthy Communities" and the theme is "Communicate" (for 1995- 96) by listening, speaking, reading, writing, body language and facial expressions. There is now a list of all WI members in Ontario, which is a first. Conference 96 will be held in Ridgetown in July. New revised volunteer hours sheets are available. The Erland Lee assessment for 1996 will be $40 per member on the February fee sheets. In the Twining program for the WI penpals, Ontario is twinned with Alberta. Irene Judge of Lakelet provided a stretch break in the form of "Betty Boop" action exercises. Margaret McMahon, PRO and Kathy Bridge, Tweedsmuir curator combined their reports and presented them in a skit. Jean Clarkson, program co-ordinator suggested that programs be interesting so others will want to attend. Huron County has a new rural advisor. He is Jerry Horst. Margaret Mclnroy, accompanied by Marjory Humphries on the piano, led the audience in singing the White Cliffs of Dover in remembrance of V-E Day. Margaret also sang Our New Home which she had performed at the opening of the new headquarters at Marden. A donation is to be sent to Erland Lee (Museum) Home in memory of Ina Wallace, a past president of Huron East District. Each district is to supply four $10 articles for the Area Conven- tion in Arthur Oct. 4 and 5. A donation of $200 per branch is to be sent to the headquarters fund. This money was raised by the "Stitches of Time" Quilt Show held in March. Renate Rose conducted the installation of officers for 1995-96.

From 1836 to the No. 31 Air Base and the present. Port Albert, situated in Ashfield Twp. by the Nine Mile River, was surveyed in 1836 and settlers arrived in 1837. Many interesting facts and stories were told about the development of this settlement and also of the disasters. In late 1940, the No. 31 Air Navigation School under the British Commonwealth Training Plan was built. On this 400 acre airport were some 29 buildings and runways 3,000 feet in length. This was the largest training school in Canada and thousands of Common- wealth students were instructed here before the closure in 1945. In 1946 the land and hangers were used for the International Ploughing Match held that year. It was called the "Victory Match". Fred ?ulham read a 1944 news- paper article written by Gavin H. Green about Port Albert's Trafalgar Square. Ralph Foster told about the history of the churches. Many pic- tures and articles were on display. A very interesting video on the 1946 IPM was shown.
