The church has recently purchased the old home formerly used by Craigholme Nursing Horne on James Street in Ailsa. Craig to'be used as a residence for the students attending the Bible School, The Bible School has rented the upstairs classrooms in the for- mer Ailsa Craig public school where they anticipate holding regular classes, Ron Donovan, presently of Chatham, will act as administrator of the Bible School, In addition to his ad- ministrative duties, Mr. Donavan will also do some teaching along with two other full time staff members, Doug Barton of Toronto who will re-locate in Ailsa Craig shortly, and Mrs. B. Crouch currently in Alberta. The Rev. R. Brewster of Lucan will be available to conduct seminars periodically. In ad- dition, two consultants from the United States will also be available, The school expects to have an enrollment of 20 to 25 students ranging in age from 18 years upwards. They will undergo nine months of intensive training and studies before they embark on field service in churches for their practical experience. It is the hope of the Bible School to be able to conduct evening classes as well for any interested persons in the area. The old home was originally owned by Col. J, H. and Mrs. McKay. In 1950 it was purchased by the Nairn Mennonite Church and Craigholme Nursing Home was started. In April of this year, the Nursing Home moved to their new accommodation on Main i Street. This month the large, old home was purchased by the Pentecostal Church to enable them to begin the Bible School, and open the campus in Ailsa Craig. By JOY SCHEIFELE Saturday, September 27 found Nairn a busy little community as a new business enterprise held its official opening. The Nairn Sports Centre is located immediately adjacent to Macdonald's Snack Bar and Sei'vice Station (formerly Elliott's). How did a snack bar and ser- vice station expand into a Sports Centre?. When Gordon Mac-- donald recently purchased the business from Mrs. Elliott, he found himself selling a few pairs of second hand skates. From that simple business transaction he received inquires about hockey pants, then other hockey equipment, etc,, until the need for a sports outlet in the team in the Ausable Industrial league. Neil and his wife, Judy, have two children — a girl Toni, 18, and a boy, Gregory who is 10. The Sports Centre will be open daily from Monday to Friday from 4 to 9 p.m., and from 9 to 6 on Saturdays. area was clearly revealed. In partnership with Neil Lloyd of Nairn, Gord Macdonald renovated the old tire and repair shop connected with the service station. The 12'x25' area now holds an attractive assortment of hockey equipment, sports clothing, team trophies, skates, etc. "By spring we hope to be able to enlarge the area, making it about three times as large as it is right now", Gord reported. "We want to expand into fishing, tennis, golf, soccer and baseball lines as well". Arriving in Nairn only last May, the Macdonald family came from Dublin, near Mitchell. Gord's wife, Julie, runs the snack bar.

How do we go about getting one that should talk? If we get one that doesn't I'm afraid it will be a disaster in our house. >. Any tips about where to buy or what to look for in a budgie will be welcome. We certainly don't claim to be experts either, on the subject of budgerigars, but we did talk with a breeder and obtained the following information which we pass along hoping that it may be of some help to you. (1) Buy a male budgie, the piece at the top of their beak will be blue as opposed to brown. (2) Six weeks old is the recommended age to get one for train- ing to talk. ' (3) Patience is a MUST because you will have to be prepared to repeat the same word over and over for quite a period of time. Once the bird parrots that first word then apparently other words and phrases usually follow quite rapidly. (4) Buy from a dependable pet dealer or breeder, You can also pick up books on the subject of talking budgerigars. Prices vary, but usually a young male bird costs a little more.

The only way I could get delivery was .to pay in advance, a practice I'm not keen on, however as it seemed like a good buy, I complied with this arrangement and in due course my order arrived, minus three sleeping bags. Naturally I wrote them immediately and since then a regular correspondence has flourished between this firm and myself. Their letters are always the same, "The original order has been misplaced, but we are looking into it." I'm well aware that the camping season has long gone for this year, but nevertheless I want what I paid for. Can "IMPACT" please help to get this straightened out once and for all? Your missing order form has finally re-appeared and we are in receipt of a copy of a letter sent to you, apologizing for the delay and stating that, "your sleeping bags have now been shipped." "IMPACT" would like to remind it's readers that purchases by Canadians for delivery in Canada from American Mail Order firms are sold strictly cash in advance. Exeter Flowers & Gifts .1 F / D .7t. ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS BUY OR LEASE Ben I. L. HOOGENBOOM 509 MAIN STREET 235 0111 A year ago now, (September) my husband passed away and 1 stored all my furniture and household effects with a Toronto mover, coming to live on a temporary basis with my sister, here in Exeter. I have now gone ,on my own, but when the mover delivered my stuff, I round several items to be missing, in- cluding a nearly new stereo. I haven't been able to get any satisfaction, let alone a settlement from this firm and I'm at my wits end as to know what to do, because try as I, may I have been unable to locate the storage copy I got from this firm when they moved me. I do hope you tan help. ' The news we have concerning this firm is not good! There are many complaints against it on file with the licensing Commission and we are told that "it may not be long before this mover is out of business." They are known to be very careless about storing articles, and they also often use other movers' warehouses for storage. The only advice we can give you at the moment, is to consult your lawyer without delay! TAY S HARP ALE ERV10E peciaiizing in ... BLUEWATER TRAVEL TRAVEL • CAlkIllbE SAWS tl. TOOLS ADVISORS LTD.
