Families from the surrounding area greeted each other and cheered one another on as they competed in trike races and other sporting i ‘‘The super”, Martelle, school’s mittee. The community school is operated at the East Williams Public School, but is unique as it does not receive any funds from the ministry of education or the Middlesex County School Board. Funds are provided through registration fees and organized events. The fun fair was the first major fund raising project attempted, and it brought the com­ events. spirit was just reported Linda , chairman of the advisory com- munity together in a meaningful way. Outside on the school grounds children, parents and teachers all participated in scheduled events. The highlight of these were the tricycle races run in heats with large and small fran­ tically peddling three wheelers. Long legs proved anything but beneficial! Inside a tea room provided light refreshments for the worn and weary and in the auditorium one could take a break by enjoying a number of displays and demon­ strations which were set up. These included spinning by Ann Rowley and cake decorating by Betty Crawford. Eight tables of hobbies were set up. A number of certificates were awarded for prizes which entitled the winners to $3 off any course offered by the Community School next year, “Our gross receipts netted $560”, Linda reported “with By GORDON MORLEY “The winners' cup" had a little different shape than usual which was our net profits amounting to $310.” The school was started last February by the East Williams Home and School Association to offer the communuty general interest courses and make fuller use of the school facilities. The program committee will be meeting shortly to finalize on nest year’s program. The Rev. David Brunner will be the Chair­ man of the Advisory Com­ mittee for the coming year, and inquiries should be directed to him as well as any suggestions for possible courses to be set up. More than 1,000 at berry social By MANUEL CURTS A total of a over 1,000 persons were served at the two strawberry and ham suppers served in Greenway by the local church ladies during this past week. That’s a lot of people, a lot of strawberries, a lot of hard work and a lot of aching muscles, come Sunday. 5 But the fellowship was great’and the satisfaction expressed by a lot of customers was most appreciative. Confirmation At the Sunday service in the United Church, Dawson Woodburn was received as a new member of the session and Russel Mellin, reaf­ firmed for a new term as elder. During the service which culminated with the Sacrament of Holy Com­ munion nine young people iniiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiniiiinniiiuiiifinnniiniiiiiiiuniiuinniiniiiinKiiiniiiiiiiiuiHiiniiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiinnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii were confirmed, following many weeks of study with their minister, the Rev. Harley Moore. They were: Brenda Bullock, Martin Eagleson, Kim Horner, Lee Isaac, Karen Lagerwerf, Mark Steeper, Arlene Walper, Terry Walper and Douglas Woodburn. By the way: Thinking of all the ham that was eaten at the strawberry suppers reminds me of the story of the man who went into a butcher’s shop, and finding the owner’s wife in at­ tendance, in the absence of her husband, thought he would have a joke at her expense, and said, “Madam, can you supply me with a yard of pork?” “Yes, sir” said she. And then turning to a boy she added, “James, give that gen­ tleman three pigs’ feet!” Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Trevithick, St. Thomas were Wednesday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Trevithick. Mr. Peter Snell took the anniversary service at Ivan United Church Sunday and Rodger Jackson was the speaker at Brinsley United Church. April Hodgins spent three days last week at camp Sylvan.

By JOY SCHEIFELE Members of the Craigwiel Gardens Corporation met Wednesday June 13 for the annual meeting held at the Craigwiel Gardens Activity Centre. The corporation is comprised of the mem­ bership of the Nairn Men- nonite Church and is a non­ profit organization with any surplus funds being used to provide further services. Currently the Craigwiel Gardens Corporation is a 3 dimensional complex comprised of Craigholme Nursing Home, the senior citizens apartments and the Craigwiel Gardens Activity Centre. In the Craigholme report, executive director, Nelson Scheifele, reflected that it’s sometimes difficult to remember that it is only four years ago that the new Craighome first opened its doors, and that likely changes in the next five or six years will be equally rapid. In the past year only 14 resident changes took place in the Nursing Home; eleven due to death, one a per­ manent transfer to hospital and two were discharged back into the community. A policy change involved approval of an R.N. on the night shift which moves beyond government regulations and provides better coverage for residents. A chaplaincy program has been implemented with the Rev. David Brunner serving in the nursing home one full day a week. The Home has also recently become in­ volved in a laxative study program jointly sponsored by the Ontario Nursing Home Association and the University of Toronto. Howard Otterbein, Chairman of the Board, reported that the newly completed second apartment unit was con­ structed at an approximate cost of $235,000, All apart­ ments are rented and the atmosphere continues to be homey and comfortable. It is hoped they will never become solely housing units but rather have been established as an intentional supportive community. The Craigwiel Board is providing two thirds of the funds for the half time cordinator, Lloyd Roth, recently hired for the Activity Centre. The com­ munity seniors are responsible to raise funds for the remaining one third salary. Presently serving on the community senior citizens committee are Gordon Brown, President; Lyle Stokes, Treasurer; and Evelyn McNaughton, Secretary. Future projects by the Corporation include providing a connecting link between the nursing home and the apartment units with more space for chapel, physiotherapy and offices. Also under investigation is the possibility of hiring a trained Physio-Occupational Therapists to work with the residents who could benefit from a formal physio and exercise program part time. New members elected to the Board included Norman Smith who will act as Chairman and Janet Bender who will serve as Treasurer and Rueben Gingerich and Harold Matin. Other Board members include Fern Brunner, Doug Langs, Mabel Litwiller and Alf Ropp. Appreciation was ex­ pressed for the time and effort of all the Board members in the past year, particularly to John Duerksen as he leaves the Board and the community, and to Howard Otterbein who resigned after fulfilling his term of office as chair­ man of the Board. |U* JI RR |, Lucan Round or Rectangular Manure Pits Slatted or Solid Tops- Barn Foundations, Floors and Gutters For A Free Estimate Call: Bill Huys Office: 227-4150 Res: 472-6591 SALE PRICES IN EFFECT JUNE 20TH TILL JUNE 30TH, 1979 grain bins % H.P. _ _ TEFC Motor 92 - Designed with farm usage in mind where the atmosphere may be subject to dampness, dust and foreign matters. 115/230 volt, totally en­ closed fan cooled motor. 1725 rpm.
