6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 7, 1977 Section Two Solina W.. Entertains Homemaking Club On Thursday, November 10th the Solina Women's Institute had the 4H Home- making Club Girls as their guests. The meeting was at the Hall with nearly 50 people present. Mrs. F. Watson, president, welcomed all, especially the girls. There was a two minute silence to commemorate Armistice Day. Mrs. M. Vice, Secretary, gave the minutes and Treasurer's Report. There will be an explanation of the Block Parent Organiza- tion at our meeting in the near future. Mrs. B. Tink reported thë progress on our plans for our Branch's 75th Anniversary on ,January 14th. Mrs. A. Rumble, who attended the A.C.W.W. Conference in Kenya, will be our guest speaker for the occasion. Invitations are being sent out, and we are all to keep that date free for this very special event. A thank you card and donation came from the Kellett Family. At this time, Mrs. Pat Best, leader of the recent 4H Club, "Take a Look at Yourself", called on Francine Taylor to describe and explain the attractive display and posters at the front of the room. Francine told us how to keep a bedroom and closet neat and tidy and yet have room for everything. There were rules on the posters for each type of clothes, shoes, cosmetics, books, jewellery, etc. She concluded by saying "A Place for Everything and Every- thing in its Place." Then Francine asked the two leaders of the club, Mrs. Pat Best, and Mr. Bernice Watson to come to the front. Jane Hills, another club member, expressed the thanks for the whole club to each leader, and presented them with a gift. Both leaders expressed their pleasure in helping with the club and thanks for the gifts. Ler Annette Taylor had com- posed a fine poem about her experiences in completing the 12 clubs for provincial honours. She read this to us and we all agreed it was very good. Mrs. Donald Taylor then took over. She asked the four girls who had completed their provincial Honours to come to the front. These four were Colette Taylor, Valerie Taylor, Nancy Traviss and Annette Taylor. Each has taken 12 clubs. Then Mrs. Taylor presented each girl with the gift of a silver cream and sugar on a tray. Their names were enscribed with the date and from Solina W.I. The girls were thrilled and expressed their appreciation. This is a real hi-lite for young girls. After unwrapping, these were placed on the tables beside their club books and bedroom accessories which they had made. Mrs. C. Langmaid, our delegate to the Area Con- vention at the Royal York in Toronto, gave her report. Alma's pleasant manner and ever-present humour gave us a very enjoyable talk. She mentioned mainly the hi- lights. One was that Mrs. Maluske our F.W.I.O. Presi- dent was given a medal by the Queen to commemorate her Silver Anniversary of reign- ing. Although Mrs. Maluske received this, it is mainly for each W.I. member to feel it is hers as well, because of the great W.I.'s have made in the past. Each number of entertain- ment at the Convention was of the highest calibre. On Wed- nesday afternoon the Wright Singers of York Centre enter- tained with gospel music. It was tremendous! The theme of the Convention was "In the Past, we had a light that flickered, in the Present, we have a Light that flames, in the Future, there will be a light which shines over all the land and sea! The afternoon speaker, Rev. Garth Mundle, of Cobourg, was most interesting. He told us somwe startling facts about our world situation. If we were all living at the same 'social level, our world supplies would last only 10 years. He said we were to remember the past, deal with the present and confront the future. He con- cluded by having us sit in small groups and write a newspaper headline, which we might see 25 years from now. This was a real challenge. Mrs. Langmaid mentioned the evening speaker also. Mrs. Robin Jeffries of Belleville. She had been Mayor and alderman of that city and ran for parliament but was defeat- ed. She hopes to try again. She impressed us, with the fact, that we are not just a housekeeper, or just anything, we are somebody. The National Convention Keeping a watchful eye on your meter can help you save electricity around your home-and we have a free booklet to help you do it. It lists many wise ideas for saving electricity in lighting, heating and appliances. In addition it shows you how to read your meter and keep a record of the progress you're making in energy conservation. The booklet, "Worth Watching" is yours for the asking from your local Hydro.

The other entertainment was two groups of fine vocal trios, and from our own area, Mr. Douglas Dewell on piano accompanying Mr. John Sem- jen on the violin. Alma told us about the cake ceremony where a Highland Piper, in kilt, and playing his bag-pipes, led the waiters bringing cakes, decorated and lit with candles. These all circled around the big concert hall and stopped in front of the Head Table where Mrs. L.W. Hughes, president of this area, Mrs. H. Maluske, President of F.W.I.O. and Mrs. Ewan (former Home Economist, cut the largest cake. Then all the cakes were served. There was a great deal more Alma told us and then she thanked us for naming her as our delegate. Mrs. Watson, our branch president, continued on with our regular program. The Roll Call followed, "What are you doing to conserve energy?". We responded well, so you know we are all conscious of the need to conserve. Mrs. Best was called on. She, in turn, called for Faye Langmaid to come to the front. Mrs. Best presented Faye with a trophy for being the most valuable player on the girls' ball team. Faye came down from Toronto especially to receive this, so we know how pleased she was. The other girls gave a hearty cheer for Faye. Then Mrs. Stanley Millson was called on. She, in turn, called on Dennis Yellowlees. Dennis has completed 20 4H clubs. Mary gave a short resume of Dennis' club work, always was near the top and many times on the top. He always held an executive position in the club. He is certainly paving the way for a successful future. Mary presented Dennis with a Silver Tray from our Institute. Dennis replied thanking us and said it was nice to know he had more than one Mother in the community. Mrs. Wesley Hills gave the consumer Report. She dealt with topics about shopping for the best product - electric appliances and many more. We do well to follow her information. Mrs. Wm. Ashton had two extra boxes of cards from Regal Stationary and these were used as a draw, won by Mrs. R. Vice and Mrs. J. Gordon. Mrs. Ralph Davis, leader for the group on Canadian Industries, then took tb chair. She called on Amber Taylor for two piano numbers. Amber played "If" and "Theme from Mahogany." Amber is gaining great skill in her musical talent. Mrs. Burney Hooey gave the motto 'Take time to stand and stare, at the The First Bowmanville Scout Troop paid their final respects at funeral services for a former leader, Eleanor Dadson, last month. Mrs. Dadson, badge secretary for the West Durham District, was active in Wonders Everywhere.' She said "Beauty is God's Voice showing His Spirit and gifts for us. Mrs. Tom Baker gave two poems on November. These made us realize that this month is a thankful time storing away God's Bounty for the coming winter. Many tasks must be done, but we can be glad we have such abundance. She also read us a piec'e on Canada's Nursing Sisters during the war. This concluded the program. We closed by sing- ing "The Queen.' Our next meeting is in the form of a pot luck supper for Christmas and husbands are invited. We are each to bring a gift for exchange. Bring one for a man also, if your husband comes. Santa Claus will need our help. A social time over lunch followed, where Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Baker and their group served fruit breads and cheese. the cub pack before becoming badge secretary for the area.
