Jane Devries spent her birthday in Woodstock with her family and visited for over a month. It has been a year to remember for young local skater Peter MacDonald, both good and bad. The year started off with real promise when he and partner Kerry Shepherd of Blyth placed well in several competitions. But after they'd won their way to the divisional championships and even bought their tickets for the trip north, Peter got sick and couldn't compete. This week the two were to show their talent for their two local clubs, Blyth on Friday night and Brussels on Sunday. Peter injured his leg and had to miss both events. Jack and Margaret McCutcheon visited for a couple of days last week with Lou and Mae Ebel and family, Ingersoll, also called on Mr. and Mrs. D. McCutcheon, Woodstock.
