Gerry Zurbrigg of R.R. 4 Goderich learned to weave on a table loom four years ago through a course offered by the local recration department. She is shown here at the floor loom which she recently purchased. ( Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Local weaver prepares for exhibition Gerry Zurbrigg of R.R. 4 Goderich claims she is addicted to weaving after learning the craft a mere four years ago. "As a hobby, weaving can be expensive. If you can sell some of the articles you make, it helps to pay for your habit," she explains. With that in mind, Gerry is busy preparing for the annual Spinning and Weaving Sale and Exhibition to be held at the River Mill in Benmiller on November 5 and 6. This event is sponsored by the Huron Tract Spinners and Weavers Guild of which Gerry has been a member for three years. She is serving as the Guild's treasurer this year. Although at present she is mainly weaving articles for herself and a few friends, Gerry has aspirations of some day turning her hobby into a business venture. She recently had this idea reinforced at a course taught t y Evelyn Hunter of London. "She (Evelyn) started out much the same as I did and then apprenticed with a production weaver in California. She has since done very well selling fashions and she has really inspired me." - Gerry has always enjoyed doing things with her hands—she knits, sews, crochets and embroiders—so when a weaving course was offered through the Goderich Recreation Department four years ago, she signed up. She learned the basics on a table loom from course instructor Evelyn Hardy. About a month ago, she bought a floor loom. She had learned how to operate a floor loom in July at a week long beginners' workshop held at The Schoolhouse in Belwood ( near Guelph). Even though Gerry has been weaving for four years, she found the beginners' workshop invaluable and claims she got "a lot of reinforcement" at it. Besides learning about floor looms, she also learned about various fabric textures and how to put certain yarns together. The Schoolhouse Gerry has high praise for The Schoolhouse which is run by Robert Cawood who also owns the Village Weaver Ltd., a unique three-storey emporium on Church Street in Toronto which caters to the educational and material needs of amateur and professional weavers throughout North America. During a Sunday drive in the winter of 1971, Cawood and his business partner Jan Huk saw an abandoned I39 -year-old field- stone schoolhouse in Belwood which had been empty since late 1950. After five years of renovations by Cawood and Huk, The Last Friday and Saturday the Clinton Cubs and Scouts held their annual Apple Days. Pictured is some of the eager sellers: Front row, left to right, Cubs Scott Brown, Chris Hoggarth and William Guse. Back row, Scout Andrew Walker and Cubs Ron Calder and Greg Dinning.

Only three people turned up for the first class but as word spread and ad- vertisements were placed in craft magazines, the students came. Today, workshops are spread over nine or ten weeks each summer and attract over 100 students from the U.S. and every Canadian province. Each student pays a flat rate to include accommodation, instruction, materials and meals for the seven days. Cawood, a gourmet cook, prepares all the food and according to Gerry, "it is ex- cellent." Besides the beginners' workshop for weavers, there are other workshops in tapestry design, rug weaving and natural dyeing, to name a few. The Schoolhouse is totally self-sufficient. It has 13 separate living levels, including bedrooms and looms for 12 people. The one - acre property contains a tennis court, swimming pool, large vegetable and herb garden, a patio and a solarium. Gerry, who attended The Schoolhouse workshop with two other women from Goderich, found the whole week to be a relaxing vacation as well as a learning experience. She hopes to attend the in- termediate workshop in weaving there next summer. She also plans to experiment a bit more in the future, perhaps combining some of her crafts, such as knitting and weaving, to create fashionable sweaters and capes. Learning through such experimentation and future courses should produce better and better results. Gerry isn't sure what it is about weaving that has such a hold on her. She thinks being a math, teacher might have something to do with it. Many weaving patterns follow precise mathematical sequences and Gerry says, "I guess that's the way my mind works." en Church t12 celebrate _116th year :y Margaret Hoggarth KIPPEN - At the service at St. Andrew's Church, Kippen on Sunday, Pastor Don Mof- fat preached a very inspiring sermon. The sermon was entitled Satan the Evil Angel. Mrs. Gerald Moffatt presided at the organ. St. Andrew's will observe its 116th An- niversary on Nov. 6 at 11 a.m. with Reverend Roy Babstock of Parkview United Church Stratford as guest minister. Special music will be provided by The Craigellen Singers of Goderich. People report A shower was held on Oct. 30 at Helen McKay's home in Exeter in honor of Helen's future daughter-in-law Tena DeKoker. Those present from the Kippen area were Leanne McKay and her daughter Lisa, Frances Kinsman, Faye Kinsman and her youngest son Daniel, Karen Kinsman and her daughter Michelle, Anne McGregor and her daughter Barb and Margaret Hoggarth. Carol McGregor, daughter of John and Mary McGregor, held an open house in her home on Oct. 29, where she presented a showing of crafts, decorations, and floral ar- rangements for Fall and Christmas available from Carol's Flowers and Gifts. 4-H news The Kippen Kuties held their last meeting on Oct. 25 at Hoggarth's house. As this was to take the form of a Hallowe'en party we all came in disguise. Punks, Raggedy Annes, witches, apes, clowns, an old farmer, and Huckleberry Finn were in attendance. We started off by finishing up our bookwork, we had a role play entitled "A friend in need is a friend indeed", Diane Vanneste, Lisa Hoornaert and Janet Hog- garth took part. We divided into two teams and played buyer bingo. We all presented a brief outline of our special project to our leaders Achievement Day plans were discussed and it was decid- ed to present the exhibit on Basic Nail Care, with Linda and Lois Binnendyk as commen- tators. Janet Hoggarth, Diane Vanneste and Tara Savage will work on the exhibit board and the rest to bring articles to put on the table. We adjourned to the dining room which had been decorated for Hallowe'en with candles lit and lights out, and had lunch of chicken, chips and dip, relish trays, crackers and cheese, Hallowe'en cupcakes, punch and bubble gum. Diane Vanneste won the prize for the best costume. She was dressed as a clown. Cathy Herbert won a prize for the most letters in her given names and Jane Papple for the closest birthday. Leaders thanked us for making this club a pleasant one to lead and Diane Vanneste thanked the leaders for all the work and ef- fort they put into getting us through this ,club. Achievement Day is, Nell. 17 at Huron Centennial School, Brucefield at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome. That's it for 9-H news until the next club in the spring. License sticker lineups expected Ontario Transportation and Communica- tions Minister James Snow recently remind- ed motorists their license stickers expire on their birthday, not the end of their ."birth- day" month. "If everyone would pick up their renewal stickers before, or at least on their birth- day," Snow pointed out, "they could alleviate an expected rush at the end of November and December. "And it's only fair to warn motorists with birthdays late in these months," he con- tinued. "They will save themselves time and the aggravation of standing in lineups, if they're prepared to pick up their stickers a little earlier than their birthdates. The fact is, we anticipate a large number of transactions during the final days of these months," Snow continued, "because com- panies are temporarily assigned renewal dates at these times as part of the phasing in of the staggered renewal system. After this year, companies will be able to choose renewal dates throughout the year which will spread the renewal times more evenly," he added. "In the meantime, we've asked our licence issuing offices to handle the ex- pected rush as expeditiously as possible," Snow concluded. "However, the fact re - Genealogical Society hold panel discussion A regular meeting of the Huron County Genealogical Society was held October 5 with a number of guests present, one from as far away as Toronto. Membership co-ordinator Margaret Cook Daryl Johnston, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Johnston of Goderich received his Honors Bachelor of Business Administration with Co-op degree at the recent Wilfrid Laurier University convocation. Daryl is a former graduate of CHSS. He has accepted a position with the Toronto Dominion Bank and is presently working in Burlington. advised that the Branch now has 289 members with 24 percent of these in Huron County. It is interesting to note that the remaining 76 percent are scattered all across Canada and the U.S. Queries were read from persons sear- ching the following family names: Buttery - Lille, Cutt-Haines, Hickes-Lawson, Wilson and Kirpatrick-McFarlaine. Anyone believing they may have information on one of these families, should contact Nancy Kale at 345-2908. Myrtle Johnstone advised that the Lucknow Sentinel has been microfilmed from 1875 to the present and is available at the Goderich Public Library. The mystery prize (a box of hasty notes) was won by Grace Johnston of Goderich. The educational portion of the meeting consisted of a panel question and answer period. The panel members were Doris Batkin of Clinton, secretary -treasurer of the Huron County Historical Society; Alison Lobb of Clinton, chairman of the Huron County Genealogical Society; and the Reverend Van Slyke of Seaforth, minister of Northside United Church. Questions covered a variety of areas from how to list adoptive children and children from com- mon-law relationships to the Homestead Act, Passenger Lists and what does A, B or C line mean in a township. Complete an- swers will be published in the November issue of "Rooting in Huron", published by the Iiuron County Genealogical Society. mains a lot of companies will be renewing large numbers of stickers during the latter part of these months and some delays can be expected." The cookie monster didn't stand a chance during Friday's Senior Citizens Reach Out Tea, Bake and Craft Sale. Two and a half- year -old Candice Mclvor of Goderich was not letting go of her chocolate chip cookie for anything.4'The tea, bake and craft sale was held at the Clinton Legion.
