This method of decorating paper is fast and simple — it can be used on notebooks, greeting cards, gift wrapping, bags — whatever you want to jazz up. You do it by splattering paint over designs with a toothbrush. You can even create a whole book of designs: for example, a nature collection, or a household collec- tion. To splatter paper you need: • an old toothbrush © newspaper • paint • objects for designs (flowers, leaves, cut out shapes) • paper to put design on Directions: Cover your working surface with newspaper — the paint splatters everywhere, so make sure the table or floor is well protected. Place your object on the paper you want to decorate. Dip the old toothbrush into paint and pull finger back over the bristles to make splatters. Let the paint dry and admire the results' Distributed by Canada e Feature Serve¢e t.edaaited GO 1983 MocKey foirf'ierd meeting of the Hospital JWx- iliary was held on February 7.

MAF hold successful y -long event for rural representatives y Stephanie Levesque Vitality filled the Seaforth Community Centre on Jan. 31 as over 200 Huron and Perth representatives from agric l: tura] groups gathered to learn about goals and objectives, evaluation and meeting procedures. Entitled Rural Seminars for Vital People, the day- long event was one of the first off 26 held by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food ( OMAF) across the province. The people represented various aspects of the farming community such as Women's Institutes, Federations of Agriculture, agricultur societies, 4-H and many commodity groups. A pep talk from Perth County Junior Farmers' past president Karen McLagan started off the day. She advised the throng a "work hard and enjoy the rewards". The talks for the day centred around meetings held by the various groups. How to evaluate them, how to conduct them according to parliamentary procedure and how to define a group's aims and objectives. "Effective meetings don't just happen, you make them happen," said Ms. McLagan. Federated Women's Institute of Ontario past president Florence Diamond of New Hamburg conducted the seminar on evaluation. She suggested continuous evaluation of a group's goals and ob- jectives leads to action. Mrs. Diamond said the first thing a group must do is establish its aims and objectives. Communication is also important within a group commented the former FWIO president. "We can't evaluate unless we communicate," said Mrs. Diamond. She related how on the way home from a meeting group members may criticize how a meeting was handled, but don't say anything at the actual meeting. Listening to the membership is important com- mented Mrs. Diamond and added that all members should share in a group's progress. EVALUATION Once a program or project is established, con- tinuous evaluation should take place to ensure such a program or project stays on track. "Simple evaluation is best. One in ordinary language," said Mrs. Diamond. The programs or projects can be evaluated on the basis of "are they inventive enough" was it handled in an "interesting and effectual way" or because "we've always done it this way". Some members of the group told how some organizations they are involved with evaluate each meeting for a few meetings Some members of the group told how some organizations they are involved with evaluate each meeting for a few minutes at the meetings close. This assists in preparing other meetings. Gifted child theme The gifted child will be the theme of the professional ac- tivity day for the Huron - Perth Separate School teachers on Feb. 25 in Strat- ford.

Mrs. Diamond suggested an entire meeting could be devoted to evaluating a group's project or program. In evaluating, a group may ask itself, are we better unformed citizens.' because of a program or is the community a better place to live because of our organization". Doug Wagner of Waterloo, the editor of Dairy Contact magazine, conducted the workshop on parliamentary procedure. He stressed the use of agendas and referred to them as "a map to a meeting". Members of the audience answered the "why of having an agenda. It keeps the meeting on topic, keeps order, allows democratic decisions, unifor- mity, helps keep records, keeps the meeting on time, less confusing and keeps control of a controversial issue. Mr. Wagner suggested the agendas be sent out with meeting notices. Agendas should indicate the location, date and starting time of a meeting and should be approved by the general membership at the start of a meeting, said Mr. Wagner. In preparing an agenda, Mr. Wagner recom- mended several things. Time should be allocated to each tonic and members should be assigned to each area of the agenda, such as having the secretary give the secretary's report. Important items should be dealt with first and another point Mr. Wagner added was to have the speaker speak on time. WORKING IN GROUPS Those listening to Mr. Wagner had the opportunity to work in small groups to prepare fictitious agen- das. This was followed Dy a snae presentation on how to conduct meetings in parliamentary fashion. Prepared by OMAF, Elaine Pym of South Huron was involved in putting together the slide presentation. "Virtually everything requires the setting of goals and objectives," noted CFPL London's agricultural director Ross Daily. He defined a goal as the "broadest definition of what we would do". A goal is a "statement of intent" said Mr. Daily and an objective is a "series of con- crete steps." As an example, he said a person's goal could be to stop smoking, but their objective is to stop smoking for three days. A goal, said Mr. Daily, should be challenging, but achievable and realistic. Mottos are also goals, such as the 4-H motto, "Learn to do by doing". The seminar closed with Fred Holterman, a representative of Dale Carnegie, speaking on suc- cess. The key to success said Mr. Holterman is the amount of effort given to a project. OMAF representative Hal Thompson said the seminars were going well. He commended the quality of people attending the seminars and noted how they had a real interest in how to run effective meetings.
