Save As versus Save
In
our classes and workshops, I have noticed some of our members having difficulty
finding work they have saved. When one
left clicks on "File", a drop
down menu gives one the choice of "save" or "save as".
Since
they are both listed on the file menu they must different.
Save As will always bring up
the Save As window allowing you to give your
work a file name and the location where you want it to be saved. Once you have
let the computer know what your work is called and where it is to be saved,
from then on the save button
or save icon (
)is
used to save current information over the old in the same place with the same
name.
Remember
to save your work repeatedly as you work through a project. There is a lot of frustration if you work for
an hour without saving your work and then do something which erases the whole
work.
Remember:
Club members run
classes and workshops. For a complete

Our Old
Friend, the Wind

POLICING
The history of settlement and policing on our Western Canadian Prairies
is still fresh in many old-timers as told to them by Grandparents and other
pioneer settlers.
One of my brothers served in the R.C.M.P. and his Father-in-law Served
in the N.W.M.P at the turn of the last century. This hardy old man had many
interesting tales of early policing in the western prairies. On one occasion he
was assigned the task of returning a criminal fugitive to the United States. He
informed the fugitive that they would travel by horseback and he would turn him
over to lawmen when they reached the border and he would not tolerate any
nonsense during their long journey. They set out and headed south across the
open uninhabited prairie. Later as they neared the border they could see, in
the distance, a large gathering of people bristling with rifles. When they
approached the group, it separated and they entered into a large group of lawmen.
They stared at the two in amazement and there was a great silence until on
lawman spoke up and said “Which one of you is the fugitive?”

African Comfort Dolls- update, January 2010
Please
note that we are still taking in the dolls and sending them off to needy
children. If you want to get involved, call the Centre or bring in your dolls
for shipment.
Yet another shipment was off to
children in December of 2009. We shipped off 580 dolls.
Thank you again to the
LETHBRIDGE SPORTS FLYERS for covering the shipping costs to ICROSS Canada in
Knitting is a great way for
people to keep active, contribute to a great cause, and keep busy. You don’t
need to be a senior; you just need to be able to knit (which is great to keep
your hands in shape!). If you or someone you know would like to get involved
with this project, please call the Centre and talk to Jan- 403-320-2222 ext 33.
A huge thank you goes out to the LETHBRIDGE SPORTS FLYERS members, who
have generously given money to be used to ship the dolls to William Willbond in
