The program for our November meeting was AN TUESDAYS 6:45 P.M. planned by Miss Alice Dodd's group, who had arranged to have Mrs. Jean (Samells) Bailey of Oshawa as our guest speaker. Jean gave a most interesting acc- ount of the start of 4-H Club work in this area, in which she and her mother, Mrs. Alpha Samells, were very ac- tive participants. Sev- eral of our members who were present had also been actively in- volved in this work in the 40's and 50's, and enjoyed reminiscing with Jean about those activities. Alice dealt ably with the motto "Impression without expression leads to depression' in which she drew our attention to the achieve- ments of Terry Fox in the face of great diff- iculties. Sincere appre- ciation was expressed by the group to Jean and Alice for providing us with such an inter- esting and worthwhile program!
