Entertainment will consist ofa"show &tell" display of the branch's accomplishments including specimens of the rug braiding course and the newly made lap rugs. A Bicentennial display as well as a reception hosted by Chaffey's Branch will precede dinner at the Opinicon. Motto for the meeting was "What the environmental issue boils down to is: Human nature versus Mother Nature The Bicentennial statement was "James Phillips, the colourful founder of Philipsville, was the son of a LOyalist family. He later became a reformer and rebel in 1838. He met his death in the Battle of the Windmill at Prescott". Roll call was "He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear". This allowed the group to have an interesting discussion about their private fears and it was interesting to note that everyone has something they are afraid of. Ellen Bonwill then showed a branch of high bush cranberries. The cranberry is an indigenous wild plant of North America. These high bush berries make excellent jelly ’ but are not too good for cranberry sauce. Mary Warren then gave an interesting and informative talk on the art of drying and arranging flowers and weeds. The beautiful selection shown indicated what one can accomplish with patience and artistic ability. Mary covered the topic from collecting, drying and colouring to the arrangement of the dried plants. Many of the ladies then took a walk with Ellen along the trails of Skycroft and viewed many of the plants used in their natural habitat. The next meeting will be Oct 11/84 at the home of Lola Timpany, at Clear Lake. It is hoped to have speech pathologist Ester Barker as the guest speaker.
