The six members and leaders met at the home of Mrs. Gill on Monday September 14 to study about Ontario fruits and vegetables. The meeting opened with the pledge and roll call. Each member answered with the name of a fruit or vegetable they had consumed that day. A guessing game to name the fruit or veggie was played to get to know one another. The introductory pages and first lesson were read, followed by filling in the blanks and two quizzes. The election of officers was as follows: president, Jacqui Vandenberk, vice-pres., Tammy Johnson, secretary, Patti Desjardine, press reporter, Lee Ann Peckitt, with Nicole Gill and Kathleen Petch as assistants. The meeting ended with snacks prepared by Mrs. Gill. A trip to Rock Glen Fruit Farm preceded our second meeting. Our club toured the farm and received an Red Cross has channelled millions of relief dollars over the years. Every penny of every dollar went directly to the relief efforts because pennies add up. Not one cent was kept, or is kept, to cover administration costs. Red Cross is extremely proud of this tradi- tion and wants to continue it. And Red Cross•will, with your help. Support your United Way and help keep the Red Cross ready. Thank you. explanation of how the apples arrive there, are graded, cleaned, shipped and put to sleep for the winter. Our guide, Wilma treated everyone to a fresh Ontario apple. Back at Loreen Gill's home, we learned that apples are graded by fancy, choice, and standard. A supper of marinated vegetables. colossal. hamburger (stuffed), and apple pan- cake was prepared by all. These three recipes were entered into our 4-11 books. On Monday, September 28, the meeting was opened with president Jacqui Vandenberk leading the 4-H pledge. The roll call was answered by giving an advertisement for a foodland vegetable. Our club name will be "The Mun- chies". Mrs. Peckitt discussed the. right and wrong way to cook vegetables, before we did the juice test. Mrs. Gill demonstrated ways to prepare vegetables, such as julienne, shoestring, fingers, cubes, chopped, sliced, flowerettes, and shredded. Panning; microwaving, steaming, and stir frying vegetables was per- formed by all the girls, with an evala- tion of the results. Steamed or stir- fryed were the favorities. Croutons, bacon bits, crumb topp- ing, cheese, nuts, relishes, sauces, sour cream, mushrooms, and season- ed butter can dress up vegetables so they are more attractive and tasty. We made seasoned butter by melting and adding parsley, chives, and ginger. After we completed a cookery crossword, all the goodies were tasted.

It was a very calm day, and those obser- ving predicted that none would get very far - the balloons barely ap- peared to get off the ground. Shortly afterward, there was a postal strike (only the first one, as it turns out 1 so that the return of postcards was delayed. 11 was then decided to wait for results to come in over the sum- mer at4d make the awards in the fall.

First Grand Bend Boy Scouts The following letter has been sent out to parents of all'the boys enrolled in Scouts recently, for the Grand Bend area. Registration was held on Thursday October 1 at the Grand Bend Public School. There were a total of eight Beavers. 17 Cubs and seven Scouters out -to register. Unfortunately the future of the Beavers and Scouts is somewhat uncertain. To date there are no volunteers as leaders for either Beavers or the Scouts. Group Com- mittee Chairman, Paul Maguire says unless two leaders are found for the Beavers and at least one qualified leader for the Scouts these two sec- tions of the Grand Bend Troup will not get underway for the 1987-88 season. Anyone wishing to help the group out by volunteering for assistance with the Beavers is asked to contact either Paul Maguire at 238-8817 or Larry Taylor 238-8959. As a volunteer leader for the Beavers it is not necessary that the candidate have any previous leadership experience• with the Scouting Program. Assistance will be provided to help the volunteers run the Beaver program. In the event leaders are not found Shipka By 'MRS.

After we were all there, Connie Russell, President, opened the meeting with the 4-11 pledge, then the roll call which was "Show the advertisement you designed for an Ontario Foodland vegetable or fruit". Mine was on car- rots, because 1 love rabbits and they eat carrots. We then proceeded through the lesson which included how to boil, stir fry; steam, can and microwave vegetables. We cooked carrots in these five dif- ferent ways. After we finished cook- ing the carrots, we were told about seasoned butters. We tried three of them with our carrots and then recorded which we liked best on a chart. After some of us choked down the last carrots, we went over our home activities. Then •we adjourned the meeting and left for home. Till we eat again! By Karen McKay by October 16 registration monies from the registered Beavers and Scouts will be refunded. This is a very unfortunate set of cir- cumstances for the future of the Scounting movement in this area. The fate of the Crediton Beavers is equally uncertain. It seems to be easier to get men out to work with boys in competitive areas like soccer, softball and hockey, bu not every boy is able to be a good athlete. The Scouting movement of- fellitiSionce for all boys to grow and - achieve at their own individuallevel, with pride and satisfaction in their achievements. We need some men to crime and lead them. to teach them. Consider it carefully it May be the most rewar- ding time you have ever invested in the future of Canada. Bible/Coffee flour Eleven ladies came out last Tues- day for Bible/Coffee hour, held at the Sauble Court Lodge. Vera Brown welcomed the ladies and led with prayer. Millie Desjardine led the hymn sing. Nita Sinclair was in charge of the lesson this week from 1 Samuel 25, the time of sheep shearing in Carmel. They discovered the character Nabel to be a very selfish man, not willing to share his abundance of wealth with David and his men, who had so little. God used Abigail to prevent David from fighting with Nabel. David had forgotten that His God would take care of him, as Ile had in the past. We should all remember that everything we have comes from God, and be willing to share with those who are less fortunate.
