Hensall and district news They finally picked Marie Campbell, a 16-year-old $1-IDES student, daughter of Mr. and. Mrs. Harold Campbell, BR 1, Exeter. She received a $5 cash prize, a dozen roses and other mer- chandise. Each of the contestants received a prize from her spon- sor. Placing second was Linda Low- ery, Exeter, while a Hensall girl, Gail Sangster, was third., The Snow Queen and her prin- cesses adorned a giant float for Saturday's parade, which also attracted a half dozen snow- mobiles, five cutters and a couple of floats. Poor weather caused the with- drawal of a band and a group of majorettes, CORRESPONDENTS. Mrs. Maude Reddest, Phone 262-2002 Mrs. Bertha MacGregor, Phone 262-2025 PAM TAYLOR BETTY CAMERON "I think the men just let me win," stated Reeve Noakes in minimizing her victory. "Like the devil we did," re- torted Mayor Delbridge, while Reeve Corbett's lone comment was: "let's go and get a cup of that hot coffee", Action then switched to the exciting pony races where the tiny steeds put on as good a show as their larger counterparts ever did in the Calgary Stampede. A single hitch driven by Jack McKenzie and owned by Vic liar- greaves finished first in that class over Jim Sangster's entry, while Bob Baker Jr. drove George Beer's team to a first place in that category. The latter race was a nip and tuck event all the way as Baker had to come from the back of the pack to nip Harry Armstrong's gallant duo. John Sangster, who had led most of the way, had to settle for third place when lie had equipment problems nearing the final turn. WI enjoy social event Hensall personals Hensall WI February meeting held Wednesday, Feb. 8 took the form of a Valentine social with each member bringing a guest and introducing them at roll call. Valentine emblems decorated the Legion Hall. A brief business meeting was held presided over by president, Mrs. Beverly Beaton. The WI is sponsoring two 4-H clubs which has a membership of twenty-two girls, and the leaders are Mrs. Alex Munn, Mrs. Don Travers, Mrs. R. M. Peck, Mrs. Harry Caldwell. The Institute is pres- enting a centennial spoon to the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Doug- las Cooper "Our Centennial Baby". A motion was made for the executive to make plans for the Centennial tea in May. Mrs. Fred Beer was in charge of the program which included a grapefruit race and the winner was Mrs. Glenn Bell. Eleven tables were in play for the euchre and one for the crokinole. Win- ners for the euchre were Mrs. R. A. Orr, Mrs. William Cole, Mrs. Glenn Bell, Mrs. Oliver Jaques, Mrs. Lorne Luker. Win- ner for the crokinole was Mrs. Clarence Reid. Lunch was ser- ved. Program convenors were Mrs. Beer and Mrs. Alex Mousseau, hostesses, Mrs. Gordon Troyer and Mrs. E. J. Willert. MANY SCULPTORS The enthusiasm some resi- dents of Hensall generated for the carnival was evident through- out the community in another aspect of the event. The Hensall youngsters came up with many snow sculptures in a special contest designed for them, although unfortunately some of the works of art were destroyed by some party— or parties--who hadn't realized the work and sense of ac- complishment the youngsters had put into their creations. The winning entry was pro- duced by Catharine Anne Christie, assisted by Dorothy Skea. They came up with a blue- eyed snowlady some six feet tall with a bouffant hair-do. The attractive lady was attired in a long gown with ruchings around the neckline and hem. She also wore gloves with matching neck- lace and earrings. All the cloth- ing was carved from snow as well. It was one of the sculptures that fell victim. The snowmen of Scott Smith and David Kipfer were second and third respectively. Judges for the contest were Mrs. Howard Scane and Mrs. R. M. peck. This snow sculpture, seen near the Hensall arena was only one of many created by Hensel' kids for the Kinsmen winter carnival. Unfortunately, some of the crea- tions were destroyed by unthink- ing youngsters, before they could be fully enjoyed by all residents. — T-A photo BUMPS GALORE Thrills and spills were evident on every jump and turn in the exciting snowmobile race. The lengthy course featured at least seven high jumps around the outside of the ball diamond and then a race among the trees on the west edge of the park. Competitors were timed in their two runs and Jim Newby, Exeter, walked off with top hon- ors—and undoubtedly a few bumps, Two Goderich men tied for second spot and had to tour the course a third time to settle the score, One competitor was forced to the sidelines when his machine coughed out after flying through the air on the first jump, while another got off the track in the woods and came to rest against some saplings. The final event of the after- noon was a log sawing contest which attracted two teams on the end of the cross-cut. When all the chips had fallen and the air cleared of sawdust, Hay Coun- cillor Jack Tinney and Ken Wild- fong, Exeter, were judged champ- ions. Wayne McBride, Kippen, and Martin McIntyre, Exeter, followed. Tinney and Wlldfong sawed through the hefty log in just under three minutes. The two teams provided one of the unusual twists of the day: they worked up a sweat. Hensall Kinsmen had only one problem in staging their weekend winter carnival—there was Just too much winter. A heavy snowfall on Saturday morning and bitter cold winds probably cut their attendance down considerably for the after- noon events, but it was still listed as a success and may well become an annual event. If the bitter winds kept some people away, they didn't slow down any of the competitors in the many events. Following a parade through Hensall's back streets, the action moved to the community park where the contestants in the snowshoe, pony and snowmobile races and the log sawing teams used their talents to provide the crowd with plenty of laughs and excitement. Major attraction of the day was the heralded battle between area reeves and mayors for the title of champion snowshoes. Exeter Mayor Jack Delbridge and Hay Reeve John Corbett accepted the challenge of Hensall Reeve Min- nie Noakes, and she managed to beat both her male compet- itors to the finish line. However, it was a close race all the way and she had to come up with some fancy footwork in the last few yards to nip her Exeter competitor at the wire. Mayor Delbridge was probably the most surprised at his agility on the wooden slats, as he hadn't located a pair of snowshoes in time to practice. visiting with her mother, Mrs. Brown. Mr. and Mrs. Sim Roobol re- ceived word of the sudden death of Mrs. Roobol's uncle, Mr. G. VanDyk of the Hague, Holland. Funeral services were held Feb. 10.
