John Vanass is recuperating at Seaforth Hospital following an unfortunate accident on icy roads last Saturday on a sideroad out of Cranbrook. A speedy recovery is wished for John from all the community. Thirty-six folks came out last Friday to take part in the final euchre and Christmas theme party at the Cranbrook Hall. The lucky draw for the large watercolour was won by Bill McArthur of Stroud, Ontario, father of Dave McArthur of Cranbrook. Second draw was won by Jean Thedorf who is a regular euchre player at Cranbrook. Congratulations to you both. Many thanks from the hall board to all those who participated in this fundraiser. The participation was appreciated. The Gordon Knight family enjoyed their Christmas gathering at the Brussels Legion on Saturday. The younger set enjoyed their gifts from Santa while parents and relatives visited and caught up on all the news. A very happy occasion for all those who were able to attend. 4-H club visits museum By Maggie Hallman To start off Our Heritage, the 4H leaders Amy Cronin, Cindy van Nes and Elizabeth DeWit took members to the museum in Goderich. They learned about settlers. There was a special exhibit there on the Titanic. Members watched a film about a family of four Irish settlers and their first winter in this new country. After they gathered together and voted on the executive: president, Karen Terpstra; vice-president, Nicke Hallman; secretary, Laura Rice; press reporter, Maggie Hallman. On Nov. 16 they met for their second meeting at the township shed. The meeting was opened by Karen with the 4-H pledge. Members voted on a title page and name for this new club. They split into two groups. One group went to Country Patch Works, and the other group stayed at the shed. I was in the group at the shed. We made band boxes. The third meeting Nov. 23 started with the 4-H pledge at the township shed. They split into two groups and switched places. This time I was in the group that went to Country Patch Works. Rosemary Terpstra was nice enough to volunteer her time and space in her store to teach us how to make a quilt patterned heirloom pillow from Christmas material. Her daughters, Angela Terpstra and Amy Cronin, also helped us. Our fourth meeting, Nov. 30 was opened by Karen with the 4-H pledge. This meeting was held at Grey Central Public School. We talked about what'heritage meant, and about our ancestors. Then we made Christmas balls that looked almost like they were quilted. We used the same Christmas material as we used for our pillows, styrofoam balls, ribbon, and a knife to stick the material into the balls. We then closed with the 4-H motto.
