Pine Lake - Isabelle Beck
Beth Smith presented a very
interesting program on her summer
trip to the Shetland Islands.
She was enrolled in an advanced
course in spinning, dyeing and
knitting of wools from Shetland
Island sheep.
Fleece from the sheep is very
fine and soft therefore a very fine
wool is spun from it; fine wool that
is knitted into lace tablecloths,
runners and shawls. The woo]
that is spun heavier is knitted into
mitts, vests and sweaters. Natural
dyes are used for the yarn,
usually in three colors. A fairisle
knitting is done with traditional
patterns. Once a week tours bring
in people to watch a group of ladies
spin, dye and knit the wool.
World Food Day was recognized
by serving a plain lunch of banana
bread and clear cold water.
Kathleen Lawrence conducted a
quiz. She wanted to know what
we need that we do not have. The
outcome was that we have everything
that we really need; as opposed
to the third world who have
need for so much.
Pine Lake WI made a money
donation to the Glenellen Community
who sponsored a Halloween
party at the Hub Community
Centre, Oct. 31. Pine Lake WI
sponsored and helped advertise a
seminar on Farm Estate Planning
put on by the Alberta Law Society,
Nov. 21 at the Pine Lake Hub
Community Centre.
Women's Institutes are interested
in reviving the stitchery craft
of " black work." Lillie Clutton will
teach sessions at the Pine Lake
Hub Community Centre and the
Red Deer Museum in the near
future.
Pine Lake resident for the past
88 years, Annie Allen celebrated
her 94th birthday Nov. 11.
Membership has been renewed
to the Kerry Wood Nature Centre.
Donation of a one- year corporate
membership for the Red Deer
Library has been made to the Hub
Community Centre by the Pine
Lake WI.
The jelly project is very nearly
completed.
Program was provided by Mar-
; ion Brown, Social Services Convener.
A video on " Violence for
Wives— Sylvie's Story" was followed
by discussion.
Battered women's plight is
physical and psychological. On
an average a women is assaulted
35 times before she goes for help.
In a shelter she and her children
find comfort; however, they still
have fear. It is difficult and confusing
to be out of their home and
away from their friends. It
changes the children— they become
troubled and aggressive.
Sixty per cent of battered women
have had their lives token by
members of their own family.
There are still not enough transition
houses for all women who
have been battered.
Need is urgent to have a shelter
to separate a battered woman
from her husband. It is also necessary
for the husband to have
help so that he is able to understand
why be batters and be able
to stop. t
