Chapter gets carpet talk
CLINTON -- The Exemplar Chapter of
Beat Sigma Phi has been treated by local
speakers to some excellent information and
entertainment at their last two meetings.
Doug Norman, owner and operator of the
Norhohne Decorating Centre in Clinton,
spoke to the group at his store, and offered
the girls excellent' information and helpful
advice on carpeting. He spoke in detail,
displaying examples on fibre, color, style,
texture, installation, and pricing, stressing
the importance of consumer awareness
when making a major purchase.
At their last meeting the girls were
treated to a visit from Elizabeth (Willmot )
Kettlewell, local photographer and author.
She spoke primarily of her most interesting
encounters during her compiling of one of
her historical books, "Meet Me At The Sta-
tion", and of her current researching of the
Sloman School Car. She showed slides of
some of the intriguing railway stations
around the countryside, spiced with some
catchy little tales of their history, and a tru-
ly inspiring series of slides on the history of
the school car and the remarkable ac-
complishments of the Sloman family.
Also at these meetings, the group has
tallied the profits from the recent fashion
show in Holmesville, sponsored by both
chapters of Beta Sigma Phi in conjunction
with "My Fair Lady" in Clinton. They are
pleased to announce that $1,208 has been
raised for the Clinton Hospital. This will be
used to purchase a set of scales with a chair
for immobile patients and some additional
car seats for the hospitals "rent -a -carseat"
program'.
Socially, the members and their husbands
reported having had a "merry olde tyme"
at their medieval feest held in Kinburn
recently. Authentic costumes, decorations
and music of the period, added to the bounty
of food, resulted in a "rousing good" even-
ing.
The ladies are now looking forward to the
bus trip to Cullen Barns, planned as the next
social outing.
