Retarded Children's
Group Will Not
Meet Till September
The , general meeting of the
Clinton Association for Retarded
Children has been withdrawn un-
til 'the third Monday in Septem-
ber (watch paper in September
for advertisement).
Goderich and District Retarded
Children's Association' is holding
Open House on Wednesday, June
22 'at eight o'clock in their school
in 'MacKay Hall. The public is
cordially 'invited. Two children
from Clinton attend this school
daily.
The local association is very
pleased with public response, the
latest donations being $750 from
the Kinsmen Club of Clinton; $25
from Clinton Chapter 266, Order
of the Eastern Star, and $10 from
Bruce-field Oddfellows.
Without this help it would be
impossible to transport the two
local children to and from Gode-
rich, each day. Membership in the
Clinton Association is available
from any member of the executive
at $1 per person.
(founder of Raymond's Awnings,
London). When Mrs. Ferguson was
a young girl, they had homestead-
ed in the west and kept a general
store before returning to London.
Ken Ferguson was also raised in
London and went to school with
Adam Flowers' who influenced him
to locate in Bayfield.
Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson have
three sons and a daughter. The
two older boys are married and
there are six grandchildren. Ken
is a teacher in London; Don,
Strathroy, came with his parents,
Bill is a high school student at
Strathroy and Della Lou is in
Grade VI. When school closes the
two younger children will join their
parents.
And while we welcome the Fer-
gusons, we regret that the Kings-
burys, who purchased the business
ten years ago from Weston Bak-
ery, are leaving the village. They
did not operate the bakery but
enlarged the grocery business.
Mrs. Kingsbury's happy presence
will be missed not only behind the
counter but in musical circles in
the village. She is a soloist and
vas organist of St. Andrew's Unit-
ed Church for a few years.
Don Kingsbury has been work-
ing in Woodstock. Mrs. Kingsbury
and Douglas, and her mother, Mrs.
F. Nelson, who lived with them
and also made her niche in Bay-
field, have taken the Brisson up-
stairs apartment until they locate
living quarters in Woodstock.
