This weekend was .:a normal one for us . . . entertaining guests on Friday evening, i dan.c- ing on Saturday evening, and picnicking on Sunday. . Actlially, it was my idea to go on the picnic. Why? never know. Maybe I'm some- thing like the fellow who juinpe ed from a speeding train into the river below. "Why'd you do it?" someone hollered to him: "It seemed like a good idea at the time," he called back just before he went under for the third time. Anyvvay, at was a typical Can- adian picnic. We drove until the kids were screaming at the top of their lungs about being starved, and started our search For, a roadside picnic table with 10,000 other picnickers at about 5 o'clock. Finally we found a rickety table &neck in the sun . . , net a tree in sight. Having forgotten the easy- ;tett charcoal: lighter, we bar- iegued ihambargs over heat no greater than that produced by alghted match. A hike netted us two poly- vogs Which we housed' in a cou- ile of little jams just full enough vith water to splash nicely all weir the children and the back ;eat as we drove. We picked up 32 mosquito bites, two sunburn- el shoulders, and a derriere dip- ?ed in poison ivy. • * Lk, Monday's blast of the fire :den; brought the town of Clin- cin on the run • the streets vere empty one second and fill- the next.

The Anglicans, first' on the 'ground in Clinton, had built their first church, in 1834. Until 1854, Methodist work — Whose beginnings we Icannot pinpoint— was under the wing of the Code- rich Methodist Mission. But in 1854, with the erection of. a parsonage for a resident .Metho- dist minister, Clinton became head' of a Methodist circuit which included Turners; Pear- ens, leiriburn, Londesboro, Rudds, Holmesville and Tipper- ary.
