Anniversary
is celebrated
By JOY SCHEIFELE
Sunday, June 24, Lyle and
Isabell Stokes, Ailsa Craig
celebrated their 40th wed-
ding anniversary. Open
house was held at the
Craigweil Gardens Senior
Citizens Activity Centre with
over 220 guests coming to
wish the couple continued
happiness and best wishes.
The couple were married,
June 21, 1939 in the Baptist
parsonage in Ailsa Craig,
Lyle was born in
McGillivray Township and
attended public school at the
S.S. number 10 Lieury. At
age 17 he opened a barber
shop in Ailsa Craig on Main
Street which he operated for
25 years. In 1952 he began
dairy farming and built up
one of the finest herd of
guernsey cows in the area. In
1968 he dispersed of the herd
which drew buyers from
many parts of Canada. In
1972 the farm was sold and
the present Craigweil
Gardens complex stands on
part of it.
Born in Scotland, Isabell
was raised in Denfield and
moved to Ailsa Craig at the
time of her marriage.
"I was born in a small
community called Corker
Hill", she explained. "My
parents were living in
Guelph, but my mother
wasn't well and returned to
Scotland to be among her
own family at the time of my
birth." At about age one
Isabell and her parents
returned to Canada.
Both have been very active
in the community over the
past 40 years. Isabell has
been a member of the
Boosters Club since its in-
ception in 1940, and has sung
in the Ailsa Craig United
Church choir for the past 38
years. Lyle served on the
Town Council for ap-
proximately 8 years and on
the local school board for
four or five years before the
County Board came into
effect. He has also been a
member of the United
Churth Board of Sessions
and is currently treasurer
for the Craigweil Gardens
Senior Citizens Activity
Centre, Past Master of the
Ailsa Craig Masonic Lodge
and a member of the
Shriners Mocha Temple.
The couple continue to be
interested in horses and
raise race horses.

East Williams graduation
Ely JOY SCHEIFELE
The East Williams Public
School was filled to capacity
June 26, as friends and
families attended the special
graduation exercises of the
grade eight class,
Thirty-two students moved
on up to high school level in
the 27th annual graduation.
Ellen Whitmore, Ailsa
Craig, a custom officer, was
the guest speaker for the
event. She encouraged the
students to live up to their
full potential and also ad-
vised them to carefully
check the courses they plan
to study with an eye to the
future.
Wendy Brunner of R.R. 1
Ailsa Craig was this year's
valedictorian. In her speech
she outlined the many good
times as well as things
learned throughout the year.
She was awarded the Mary.
E. Ross Award by Mary
Ross of Nairn for her high
academic standing and all
around achievements.
The East Williams School
Award was presented to
Marta Brunner, Wendy
Currie and Jennifer Toews
for their general proficiency
in academic studies, music,
athletics and services
rendered. In presenting the
awards Grade 7 teacher Mr.
G. Welshman, noted that in
the past four years, only 8 of
these awards have been
presented including the
three he was presenting that
evening.
The grade 8 choir also
gave three special numbers
led by music teacher, Mrs.
P. Schram. A duet, "Born
Free", was sung by Cindy
Hooper and Dean Bender.
Principal Mr, G. Stott and
grade 8 teacher Mrs. E.
Nicholls awarded each of the
students with their diplomas
making mention of each
student's contributions
throughout the year as he
was handed his certificate.
As one entered the
auditorium baby pictures of
all the grade 8 class
decorated one wall, and
colourful decorations filled
the auditorium which were
made by the grade 7 class
and were of unusually high
standards.

By JOY SCHEIFELE
Committees are meeting
and telephones are buzzing
in Ailsa Craig these days as
plans are being finalized for
the events during Gala Days
July 20 to 22,
Several new events are
being scheduled including
bed races down Main Street
Sunday afternoon so don't
throw out those set of wheels
you may need them yet. Also
a pie eating contest shows up
on the list of events and
rumour has it that the Ailsa
Craig Town Council is get-
ting in shape to challenge the
surrounding Town Councils!
Not to be outdone we hear
the volunteer fire brigade
are doing some extra duty
these days as they plan to
take on Parkhill in a water
hockey game, Sunday af-
ternoon.
Chairman of the Sports
Events, Ted Van Weert, has
some mighty interesting
games coming up. Ever play
baseball with a Nerf ball?
And if that doesn't just tickle
your fancy, we understand
he's borrowing an unusual
ball not normally found
among the family's sports
equipment. It measures no
less than eight feet in
diameter!
Other team sporting
events will include a pole
climb and a game called
"flour power". Or if you
prefer to work alone, you can
always try the "Soccer
Kick". and the Legion
Ladies will be happy to in-
clude you in on a game of
Bingo Saturday afternoon.
Many of the former events
are being re-scheduled. Old
and young have been spotted
turtle hunting. Some have
even been seen in serious
conversation with their
turtles priming them for the
big races.
Blair Stewart will again
organize the road races
which was one of the
highlights last year with
outstanding runners of all
ages coming from many
distant points.
These will be taking place
again Sunday afternoon with
the runners doing 10
kilometers from Ailsa Craig
to Nairn and back again.
Phil Miller is organizing
children's road races of
shorter distances.
Pet owners are advised
that even the "mutts" are
not being overlooked. The
Mutt Show is being planned
for Sunday afternoon also.
If you like Old Time Fiddle
Music and Step Dance a
Jamboree will begin at 1.30
Saturday. Leroy Walker,
organizer of this event,
emphasizes that this is not a
competition, but simply a
time of fiddle music and
dancing. Anyone interested
in taking' part in the Jam-
boree is asked to get in touch
with him,
Nor is the variety Show a
competetive one which will
set the Gala Days in motion
on Friday evening.
Once again an exciting
parade is being planned for
Saturday afternoon with
entries still be invited.
Other repeats will include
the Saturday: evening beef
barbecue, Sunday morning
"Breakfast In the Park,"
and the Sunday evening
chicken barbecue. The
community worship service
will be held Sunday morning
in' the Ailsa Craig United
Church this year. "The
Revelations" from London
will be featured at the Gospel
Sing Sunday, evening.
Lyle and Isabell Stokes
have been chosen to act as
this year's Grand Master
and Lady.
To climax the weekend,
Ailsa Craig's own Bev Gale
will be here from Toronto to
sing "0 Canada" in the
closing ceremonies. The
Torch of Friendship will
again be lit as Gala Days
conclude,
