Girls’ Clubs In Thunder Bay By Elsie Irvine District Home Economist F YOU were to drive from Toronto to North Bay you would be covering the dis- tance between two 4-H Homemaking Clubs in Thunder Bay District. Upsala on the west and Jellicoe on the east, with 25 other clubs. have completed the project “Featuring Fruit“. Subâ€"zero weather for the three Achievement Days did not deter 187 members from exhibit- ing and demonstrating what they had learned about fruit. Some apples are grown in the District, mainly crab apples and Melbas, but club mem- bers were introdueed to many new varieties. New and exciting uses were found for dried fruit; and the tame and wild fruits canned or stored in the home freezer are coming to the table in new ways. If you are travelling thirty or forty miles on a school bus, at good break- fast takes on added meaning.

Anne Ryan From "Pageant and Other Poems" My next-door neighbour called from her door, "Come in for a cup of tea!" Things had been going very wrong, And the world looked black to me. But I slowly walked to her kitchen door. And she knew, because she was kind; Ant! she held my arm, with a little squeeze. "Now, honey, don't you mind." That was all she said: she never tried To find out what was wrong, But she spoke of little neighbourhood things, And the newesr radio song; And the rose geranium on the sill â€"â€" A gift from her sister, you know, Until an hour had cheerfully ticked, And I turned to the door to go. The white, light biscuits, and rich red jam1 And the kitchen table spread, And the kind, sweet face of the woman there, \Vith a dust-cap on her head â€" You may think it wrong [0 put it set But I shall always feel That the food, and the drink and the fellowship Made a sacrificial meal. 1* i i 47
