Try the Suggestions below and you will come up with new ideas as you start to experiment. = If your decoration is going to turn into a special work of art, it makes sense to blow the egg first and then it can be kept for a long time. To blow an egg, poke a small hole at one end with a needle. Push the needle deep inside to break the yoke. Then poke a slightly bigger hole in the other end. Holding the egg over a bowl, blow through the smaller hole un- til the shell is empty. Save the raw egg for breakfast or cupcakes. Rinse the shell well and let it dry. PAPER COLLAGE EGGS Glue torn or cut tissue paper to eggs with white glue. You can also make a collage with small pictures and words cut out of a magazine. STRIPED EGGS Paint the egg with white glue and wrap it with rows of colorful yarn. Push the rows together with a toothpick. EGG FACES With felt-tipped pens, draw bright, funny, happy, sad or mad faces on the eggs. Glue on yarn, for hair, eyebrows, beards and mustaches. WAXED EGGS Draw a heavy crayon pattern on an egg. Dip it into a darker col- our. Melt the crayon marks by putting the egg in 200° over for a few minutes and wiping with a paper towel. Dip into a lighter col- our. The second colour will fill in the pattern you drew with the crayon. of white glue and roll on a plate containing poppy seeds, barley, buckwheat or any other seeds you Greely Grist by Barbara Overall Spring is just around the corner and I had reporting for this mon- ths Greely Grits sprung upon me at 9 a.m. the morning it was to be in by 5 p.m. I work Tues. hairstyl- ing at my salon at home, washing, cooking etc. between styles. My mouth dropped and I said, I haven't a clue where to start so for this month I Have a song I once sung while President of Manotick Station Women's Institute back in the 60's. Beginning: (Tune: Glory Hallelujah : The hardest job of all it seems Is just to get a start, I'm sure of all we have to do This is the toughest part We often take our good old time, And idle hours away , Forgetting that we'll not succeed With hands that only play. 'Beginning is a trying test and one we all defy We never move a single step by only standing by, The fellow who is up and gone, Is halfway up the hill, While we.are planning what to do We're only standing still. You cannot wait for someone else You must be there yourself That knowledge doesn't mean a thing That's stored upon your shelf. Beginning is your highest point For when you've once begun The job you dreaded so Is nearly halfway done. Chorus: Start the job and get it rolling, , ; We must try to keep things going, When we're bright and in the knowing ; In Greely Community. : A special thank you to friends and neighbors for the lovely time had at McDougalls and for the lovely gift to remember you all by.

For ardent skiers are you aware there is a ski trail back of the com- munity centre across the creek and through the bush, especially a beautiful clump of birch part way around it. The song of a bird is heard, a squirrel scampers up a tree, a woodpecker is hard at work in two trees. The silence is golden. If you have a free afternoon or evening do go around it. You don't know what you are missing. It even gives one time to get the cobwebs out of the busy hum drum of the day and a whole new perspective on life. Ladies don't forget exercise classes at the com- munity centre to keep fit starting March 29th for Mon., Wed. and Fri. mornings from 9:15 a.m. to 10 a.m. v Library news Greely Public Library has some exciting plans for the celebration of National Book Festival Week, April 26-May 2.
