PINE L A K E WI.
A visit to the Ellis Bird
Farm is a must for all
Albertans and visitors. It is
open to the public during
the months of June, July
and August. It is a nonprofit
organization established
in 1982 to carry on
the work of pioneer conservationists,
Charlie and
Winnifred Ellis, of
Lacombe, Alberta. It is a
beautiful farm with natural
wooded areas and majestic
60- year- old spruce trees.
Pine Lake W. I. visited the
Ellis Bird Farm on June 12.
A morning meeting in the
shelter of the sunny side of
the lilacs was followed by
exploring the several pathways
through the wooded
areas and observing the
special orchards and flowers
all chosen carefully for
the birds and butterflies
and other wildlife by Winnie
and Charlie Ellis.
The fence lines are all
lined with the largest number
of functional bluebird
nest boxes in any one area.
Winnie Ellis, sister of
Charles Ellis, was also a
visitor on June 12 and to
see their work continuing
must have given her great
pleasure.
Irma Lawrence presented
a program on " The Seven
Factors that Contribute
to a Longer Life." The factors
are: A stable marriage,
moderate alcohol use,
no smoking, exercise,
appropriate weight, having
a positive outlook and
being free from depressive
illness. Only the last is
beyond the individual's control.
Another factor that
improves lifespan was having
gained 16 years of education.
You can choose
your spouse, whether or
not you'll smoke, your
treatment of alcohol and
your general outlook. That
includes an outlook that
values education.
Kathleen Lawrence and
Doris Warke groomed the
W. I. Corner and set in
dusty miller, and red, white
and multi- colored petunias.
The " Coffee Party" on
June 6 provided a pleasant
morning at the Hub Community
Centre with 68
ladies attending. There
was a nice display of Pine
Lake W. I. handicraft, bake
and plant tables and three
draws during the morning.
The first draw for the Adelaide
Hoodless rose, donated
by Parkland Nurseries,
was won by Vera Jeffery of
the Lacombe 4- Point W. I.
Second place draw for the
dried flower arrangement,
donated by Beth Smith,
was won by Blanche Cunningham
of Cottonwood
W. I. Third place draw for a
potted patience, donated by
M i l l i e Munro, was won by
Ella Sawyer.
The F. W. I. C. Volunteer of
the Year w i l l be decided by
the name chosen from one
name drawn from each WI.
branch. The Pine Lake WI.
member drawn was Vera
Pierce. The Farmers' Market
has begun at the Pine
Lake Store and Fas Gas on
Fridays from 3 to 5 p. m.
and ends August 31.
