Editor, Port Perry Star. Dear Sir: It 'would give me great pleasure to, see this letter published in your newspaper to inform the public of the fine job that the Port Perry Snowmobile club is doing. I was always the first person to critize these. men and their machines--never did I stop to consider that they provide a real service to our community. On February 19th, we were stranded' in Blackstock and as there seemed no way that the roads would be cleared it really appeared as though we might not get . home until Monday. This ~e situation put me in a very serious. position. It was suggested that I call Mr. Walt Sanderson, President of the Snowmobile Club to see if he could possibly help me to get home to Utica. Mr. Sanderson was extremely sympathetic and came to the rescue immediately, bring- ing all the proper clothing and also. a sleigh. He was PLUMBING - = PORT PERRY HEATING . kind and considerate of my probleth and got me safely home to my family. I would like to thank these unselfish men who on the week-end of the storm were out preforming a service to all those.unfortunate enough to be stranded, There really is a place for this club, they stress al} the correct 'usage of their machines and they teach and practice 'safety. The town of Port Perry should take their hats off to this fine organization 'and . what they are accomplish- ing. Thanks again 'Walt" I'll never knock the Snow- mobile again. .

Miss Dodd, our leader, told us to go to the old Catholic Church for our next two meetings. A piece * of 'material was passed around that had a zipper neckline and sleeve put in it. We - decided on a white back- ground for our record book and the lettering will be made out of our own fabric. We finished disucssing a pamplilet, "Knowing knits," from last week. We also "discussed the Fabric Fact Sheet. We helped one of the girls with her pattern and then we closed the meeting with the 4-H Motto, "Learn to do by doing." Meeting 3 was held on Tuesday, February 29 at the old Catholic Church, We opened the meeting with the 4-H Pledge and the attendance ' was taken. Elaine Gibson read the min- utes of the last meeting. This week we chose our club design. After we finished that we spread out and worked on our materials. Miss Dodd discussed with us our Home Assignments for this week. 27° 10 on, BEATER
