Most wooden surfaces stripped with this exclusive method are left with the same finishing characteristics as the wood processed when the furniture was new. This method does not destroy/or disturb the patina that has taken many, many years to acquire. When good old fur- niture with that beautiful patina supplied by age is dipped into a tank of hot water and other chemicals the patina is usually destroyed. The Velvet Touch Method treats furniture so gently that very little sanding is necessary prior so staining and finishing. The average chest of drawers or dining room table requires only a fine sanding that is usually accomplished in about fifteen minutes. Glue is not affected by the Velvet Touch method of stripping. This exclusive Velvet Touch method incorporates the use of ex- pensive materials and hand labor. The cost is therefore usual- ly somewhat higher than the cosf to have your furniture dipped into a hot lye or acid solution. If your furniture is worth stripping and refinishing then it is certainly worth the slight extra charge to get the job done without damaging the furniture. In most cases when a veneered item that is worth refinishing is dipped into a hat liquid solution, it is no longer worth refinishing, WATCH FOR OUR OPEN HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENT ( lumping the heat NbL ITS ,151,1 hr SWE Iwisv Is 'AVE Ci.lt,ftltITARE By insulating his attic, Thomas Fleming of London, saved 226 gallons of oil.

The apartments, part of the Craigwiel Gardens Development, are located immediately behind the Craigholme Nursing Home just off Highway 7. Eleven units are contained within the present apartment complex including ten single bedroom units, and one two bedroom apartment. The design of the apartments allows for additional apartments to be built on at a later date as the need arises. The apartments are owned and operated by Craigwiel Gardens, under the direction of a Board of Directors operating under a non- profit charter. These senior citizens apart- ments are part of the Craigwiel Gardens Development which began two years ago" when Craigholme Nursing Home opened its new fifty bed facilities in May 1975. Almost immediately construction began on a new wing, and by May 1976 the home had been enlarged to ac- commodate a total of seventy- three beds. With the completion of the Nursing Home, work commenced on the firststage of the senior citizens' apartments. It is an- ticipated that these eleven apartments will be ready for occupancy within the next two weeks. When the development plan was started, a large barn was located at the front of the property. Appraisal of the barn was made, This it was felt could be renovated and developed for social and recreational facilities as part of the development plan. However, costs of renovating the barn to meet the necessary building code requirements made it impossible. As a result Craigwiel Gardens board is undertaking to demolish the barn and erect a new building in its place. The new building will serve as a social and recreation centre for senior citizens in the classes and teachers. Two baskets of beautiful white mums and gladiolas adorned the front of the church from the Kudirka- Squire wedding Saturday. the meeting, Monday evening. Joining as new cubs were; Robbie Harloff, Noel Westman, Paul Wright, Paul Brown, Steven O'Sullivan and Benny Bakker, which now brings the pack to 14.

Mary Mills con- ducted the Harvest Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, September 19 and took her sermon from Psalm 136, "Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good and His mercies enduretl for ever", this is an exhortation to praise God for special mercies, who by His wisdom made Heaven and Earth said Rev, Mills. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and fruits of the Harvest and many at- tended the service from the Kirkton and Saintsbury congregations. At the United Church Rev. Elwood Morden conducted the morning worship and took his sermon from Job 3:1-9, wherein Job in a black mood cursed the day of hiS birth. The message was on "Mastering our Moods", life as a whole has its mood swing, but we must learn to master our moods, lest they master us, said Rev. Morden, we must not wallow in self-pity, bad moods, anger, fear and depression are apt to warp our thinking, we should wait and be guided by better insight. A poem was read from the pulpit by the minister as a tribute to the Sunday School teachers for their dedication.
