Many found that jn the Latcham Centre they could escape some of the bustle, thanks to the ladies of the Louise Patter- son Handicraft Guild. From ten in the morning to five in the afternoon their Annual Handicraft Show was avail- able to all who enjoy looking at fine workmanship or who wanted to rest a while. The work on show could be divided into three sections - rug hooking quilting and miscellaneous. The Louise Patterson Handicraft Guild, of course, was founded by a group of rug hookers, so it is to be expected that this craft be widely represented. Marjor- ie Williams and Dorothy Naples were in charge of this display. The many articles were displayed to good ad- vantage in the stage area of the hall. It was nice to see that the rugs were actually on the floor, so that the viewer had them in the pro- per perspective. There seemed to be something for everyone's taste: geomet- ric, floral or pictoral;fine or primitive; bright or sub- dued; colourful or mono chromatic. The one rug that everyone marvelled at, nov- ice and experienced rugger alike, was the pictorial rug of Jo Dowson. Mrs. Dowson had taken her inspiration from the book "The Mill", transferring more than a dozen old mills to canvas. To get the many different col- ours needed to represent the various rocks, wood and sky tones, she had to dye her own material. The result is a very fine rug that could win awards when judged with the best in the land. Not all rug hooking goes into rugs. There was a great display of cushions, wallhangings and pictures. Throughout the day there were ladies dem- onstrating their craft and answering questions. The second large section of the show was the Quilting and Afghans under the dir- ection of Florence Smith. Again there was a great variety in the kinds of quilts on display - pieced or patch- work quilts and appliqueed ones. They all demonstrated fine workmanship and an eye for colour. June Ald- ridge's bedroom ensemble made a colourful section of the display. The quilt - (strawberries appliqueed onto white, with green bord- ers) was the central part, with matching pillow shams, a tablecloth and a cushion, which was quilted by the "cathredal window" meth- od. During the day there was a child's quilt set up to show how the actual quilting was done. The conversations and laughter from this corner . also demonstrated what good fun you can have in a quilting bee. The miscellaneous section of the show covered so many crafts:- knitting, sewing, needlepoint and bargello, ceramics, doll making, mac- crame, woodcarving, sketch- ing, oil painting, embroid- ery, crocheting, weaving.... There was certainly some- thing for everyone. Demonstrations were also a part of the show. Rug hooking - and Quilting, of course, quilling (the use of narrow strips of coloured paper to make pictures) was demonstrated by Edda Bowman; Sandy Sinclair demonstrated a form of em- broidery known as 'drawn thread work;'" Rose Heron demonstrated hairpin lace and broomstick lace; Lillian Smith demonstrated mac- rame; Beryl Espley demon- . strated spinning (Note to all who asked "how long does it take you? It was an easy five skein or 180 yard or 7'% ounce day.) Tea and fancy cookies were served all day long by Jo Dowson, Helen Dart and Marlene Blaine. } sa .

Scugog Island news By Mrs. Earl Reader We have good reports all down the line for the hot luncheon at the Island Church by the "Grace" U.C.W. on Wednesday, and the Tent breakfast and re- freshments in Palmer Park by the 'Head U.C.W. on Saturday even though it was felt that the crowd was smaller on account of so many area functions. Today, (Wednesday) the Grace U.C.W. has a noon meeting at the home of Mrs. Hilda Michell. Tonight (Wednesday), U.C.W. meets at the home of Mrs. Alva Thompson. Mrs. Allene Kane is re- covering quite well after her recent surgery. Her mother, Mrs. Sweetman, had another eye operation about a month ago but still hasn't complete satisfaction. We are pleased to see Jack Kane getting around again and able to enjoy local activity. On Saturday, Mrs. Marion Carter and Mrs. Irene Carter attended a Nurses' Reunion. We would like to welcome Bill and Lynn Park and their little son to the Scugog the Head \ Manse as they moved in on the weekend. We noticed the flower beds were improved and cleaned up around the Island Church. For this, we learn that we owe Mrs. Heidi Krieg a vote of thanks. The basement also received a houseclean- ing by Mrs. Madeline Cawker and Mrs. Carrie Samells with their three young helpers, Bill Samells, Lorie Ann Wilson and Carol Peterson whose help was greatly appreciated. It has been noted that some repairs will be needed around the church this year and some decisions will be needed by the Trustees in charge. Please become aware of these needs when a meeting is called. On Sunday, attendance at Church was lower than usual. Perhaps it was a tiring weekend. Or it may be that we've waited so long for good weather that we hate to miss opportunities when they come. The faithful children still enjoyed a good story by Rev. Linstead about Antonio Stradivari who used and developed the talent he had and became very famous. The choir sang "When You Pray". On the walls hang the pic- "ures of 38 little lambs repre- senting 38 children on the Cradle Roll. It is hoped we shall have a special Sunday in June for the Dedication of the new piano. So please watch for a further announcement. All donors will be notified. The choir and orchestra again presented their con- cert on Sunday evening at Prince Albert. Don't forget to plan for the community picnic on Sunday June 17 at Birdseye Centre. There is an Island sale on June 16th.

Our meeting was brought to order by our President, Eleanor O'Neill at 7:45 p.m. with twelve members present. . We toured the barn and discussed the cow-calf operation. Then we looked at four 2-year old Angus heifers and Mr. Robertson gave us some pointers on judging them. The members were then asked to judge them and give reasons. Nancy, our leader, then discussed some of the members judging and told us the actual placing. We then went into the house and discussions were held on: 1.) The Brooklin Parade and Fair. It was decided to enter a float and members are asked to be at Carl Batty's home by 6:30 on Friday, June 1 to help decorate. 2.)
