Outer's club spends weekend in tents Mrs. Hoelsdier shows borg craft at Ladies Aid MacLEAN .The lovely candlelight wedding of Brenda, Louise Hodgert, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Hodgert to Mr. Gordon Keith MacLean, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Keith MacLean, all of Seaforth, was solemnized Saturday, April 19, 1975, at First Presbyterian Church, Seaforth The Rev. E. G. Nelson officiated at the double-ring ceremony. Wedding music was provided by Mrs. Carol Carter who accompanied the soloist, Mr. Marlen Vincent. Given in marriage by her father and mother, the bride wore a gown of giani silly jersey styled with a wedding band collar, bishop sleeves and • attached chapel train. Narrow rows of fagotting encircled the bodice as well as the bishop sleeves. Her capnlet of tiny French Venice lace daisies and pearls held a triple tier Venise lace edged chapel length silk, illusion veil. She carried a cascade bouquet of yellow roses, baby's breath and ivy and wore an• heirloom Outer's Club' If you saw a bus load of excited children and camping equipment then you saw the Outer's Club on their way to a weekend of fun. Even though there were a few mishaps "That" could be expected from amature campers. The ambitious adventurers arrived at Mr. Jewitt's farm at 4:15. They trudged out to the camping grounds stopping for a refreshing drink from the spring. Hurried' preparations were made for the night and everyone was anxious to explore. Supper fires were built and everyone enjoyed a quick meal. A nearby river was a spot of interest but proved difficult to reach because of a steep incline.lt seemed the fish weren't biting that night so a sad group of fishermen retreated back to the camp. A blazing fire lifted everyone's spirits. Roasted marshmallows were a good sub- stitute for fish. After much singing and eating the tired' campers reluctantly retired to their tents. They had an unexpected visitor (a dog) whom they named "portchops" as he helped himself to one camper's supper. The next day was spent in a variety of ways. After much fighting Mr. Bishop proudly held up an 8 pound Rainbow Trout. The hungry campers prepared their last meal a little sadly. All too soon they had to return to the bus. As the campers sat on the hard bus seats it was only they. they realized how weary they were. We are grateful to Mr. Laurie for his help and of course to Mr. Bishop who organized the whole project. It was with much thanks There was an attendance of thirty-five members and friends at the regular meeting of the Ladies' Aid of First Church on Tuesday afternoon when Mrs. John Hoelscher was the guest speaker, when she showed her craft collection of borg material. These were very interesting and she demonstrated how to make some of the items. Mrs.E.d. Andrews occupied the chair and conducted the business period. . The opening' poem "Happiness" was given by Mrs. • W. Coleman. Mrs. M. M Messenger read the scripture Itisah and Mrs. I.W.Thompson led in prayer. • Our Trip to the Circus On Monday May nth, the grade four class went in London by bus to see a circus. The first act was Nubian Lions and Royal Bengal tigers. They were quite exciting, Next there were some clowns who did some funny stunts for the crowd. Following this there were some Basketball Boxer Dogs that played basketball. At one time they pushed a man who spilt some popcorn. Another time a lady got caught in the • garbage pail, The most daring act was "The Fire Devil Himself". He jumped through a turning ring of fire and walked down on some sharp spears., The young troup were teeterboard Artists A girl was on a teeterboard and some- body jumped on it. She landed on a trarnpcline and flew back up into the air and landed in a chair. Then the elephants came out. There 'were two families in the ring. One elephant picked up a lady and walked around the ring. Another elephant went under the big elephant's legs. We wish to thank our chaperons, "bus driver and teachers. The circus was wonderful and exciting. I wish everyone could have gone.
