Cartwright Activity Center The Cartwright Activity Center is resuming its work on January 12, at the Nestleton Community Hall. There will be a minor change in the time: instead of holding our sessions from 9-12 in the mornings we will now be open from 12:30-3:30 in the afternoons in all three villages. The evening hours will remain from 6 to 10 p.m. This change was indi- cated by the lack of atten- dance in the mornings. The first three weeks of this Activity Center went by very quietly because everybody was busy making Christmas preparations. Not many peo- ple came out to participate for a variety of reasons: many had not heard about it and many others wondered quietly to themselves what this "acti- vity center" is, what it does and what it's for. Well, these questions are easily an- swered: in these days of unrest and social upheaval when the airways are crack- ling out their daily lists of disasters, kidnappings, and hi-jackings we often forget that it is important that we, who are part of this world, continue to carry on old traditions; that we renew our resolve to maintain our sanity and that we continue to strengthen our contact with our fellowman. And how can we achieve such lofty goals and save a world gone mad with a patchwork quilt? - But the funny thing is that while you are knitting a coloured hat for your roll of toiletpaper you can t be making a Molotov cocktail, right? - Or, as one of philosopher put it: it is a chemical impossibility to de- velop an ulcer while you're laughing. So, we urge you all to consider our humble project your personal guide to sanity and tranquillity. It costs nothing, it demands nothing you cannot freely give, name- The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 7, 1976 ly a few hours of your time; and yet it can become a bridge to a better mutual understand- ng. Beginning on Monday, Jan. 12, in Nestieton, the January target will be a multi-coloured Granny Afghan shawl. It will be crocheted in hexagonal pieces and assembled right there. If ou are intereste in learning ow to do it, come on and join us. You can either work on the project or brin your own materials with colours of your choice. Vari- ous different Afghan patterns are available to choose from. On Wednesday, Jan. 14, we will be back at the Caesarea Community Hall where the January target will consist of various small bazaar articles: crocheted bats, toilet roll covers or cotton yarn doilies and a pair of Fair Isles mittens. On Thursday, Jan. 15, the roject returns to Blackstock, >ut here again we have two small changes: we shall be meeting at the old municipal office in the Recreation Center and not at the Township Hall. Here, too, we have shifted the morning session to the after- noon, beginning at 12:30 to 3:30. The evenng hours re- main from 6-10 p.m. The Blackstock project for Jan- uary will be a set of quilted chaircushions. All completed items made with materials supplied will be auctioned off at t e end of the project to recover the cost of materials. Everyone wish- ing to make their own cu- shions please bring the neces- sary materials, scissors and thimbles. A word about our ambitious physical fitness programme: a 15 minute period of breath- ing exercises, bend-and- stretch and a few turns of walking, running and joggin round the hall is really al that's, involved. Nobody is forced to participate unless you want to. Another question we would like to clear up: you may join in anv of the sessions no matter whether you live in Janetville, the lakeshore or whatever. The whole idea is to bring people together in the pursuit of community spirit. If neither of our January target projects appeal to you, of if you wish to finish something you have begun, please feel free to fol ow your own inclination. The reason we have set targets is simply so we shall have a number of completed articles for a Baz- aar at the end of April. For the month of February we plan to show you how to make a simple loom with dowel rods; introduce the more ambitious participants to the intricate art of decou- page which involves some woodworking; and making a large macrame wallhanging. The early afternoon sessions will also be more structured so we can schedule lectures on interesting topics as well as cross-country ski outings for the hardy. We are really looking for- ward to seeing you - so don't disappoint your friends. Till the 12th, then... OBITUARY MRS. DOROTHY M. LUCAS Dorothy M.
