HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 1988-08-03, Page 3Getting in shape for a possible election call, the Young Progressive
Conservatives of Huron held a picnic in Blyth Monday night that
included a PC Olympics. Denise Wilkens of WIngham takes part in one
of the skill-testing events to see who can erect a campaign sign the
fastest.
Lloyd and Donna Sippel have
returned from an enjoyable motor
trip to the West Coast. They visited
friends in Edmonton and Provost,
Alberta, and in Vancouver. The
scenery on Vancouver Island they
found very much to their liking. A
return trip to take in more of the
beauty is now one of their plans.
Mary Lou Stewart with Pauline,
Margaret and Bonnie went to the
Goderich airport last Thursday
afternoon to see and shake hands
with Prime Minister Brian Mul
roney, his wife Mila and their
children.
They all enjoyed the picnic
hostedby Murray Cardiff, M.P.
The Stewart children now can
proudly show their friends the
Prime Minister’s signature in their
autograph book.
The former Snell building at the
corner of Drummond and Queen
Streets seems to have taken on
larger dimensions since Al and
Dianna Willie have become the
owners. The Queen street door has
been opened. It had not been used
for someyears. Gleaming white
siding now covers the walls. Most
of the trim is in Wedgewood Blue
which gives a smart appearance.
One room has been converted into
a smart-looking ice cream, chip
and pop, etc. outlet.
A resourceful person, surely it
was, to find a unique wall space for
the store’s sign. A block or more
away, one can now spy, in bright
blue lettering, “Blyth” on the
upper wall level and on just enough
space to accommodate the five
letters. Below it, one reads,
“Supermarket”. A neat idea, well
executed!
Several people from this area are
particularly interested in the suc
cess of the play, “Fires in the
Night’ ’, which tells of the life in the
School Car in the North, of Fred
and Cela Sloman. Mr. Sloman had
taught them in the ‘20’s, in Blyth
Continuation School - in one or two
casesfor as long as three years.
One such lady in Michigan was
disappointed atbeing unable to
procure tickets for this play.
Others, wisely making reserva
tions early, are travelling long
distances to see it. One lady, a
former pupil of Mr. Sloman’s,
found it remarkable that the actor
playing Mr. Sloman possesses the
same dark, piercing eyes as her
former teacher’s.
Ralph and Gladys, Wayne and
Deb Caldwell recently returned
from a holiday to Western Canada,
flying to Winnipeg where Wayne
attended a conference in connec
tion with the Huron County
Department of Planning and De
velopment.
As they motored from there
towards Edmonton they had a
pleasantsurprise one day when
they happened to stop in Mossbank
at the Triple K Restaurantfor lunch
to discover it was owned by none
other than a former Blyth resident,
Ken Badley, son of Vera Badley.
From there they went to Jasper
visiting the Columbia icefields for
an hour’s bus tour over the glacier,
staying overnight at the Lake
Louise Chateau, then on to Banff
and Calgary where they arranged
to meet for coffee with a former
neighbour RobertMarshall and
were then given a very interesting
tour of the city.
They then flew home from
