United Church Women to host Harvest Bonanza
Final plans are being made for
the Blyth U.C.W. Harvest Bonan
za scheduled for Oct. 20-22.
The closets at Blyth United
Church are filling with used

the door warning that if the door is
opened one may be “greeted" by
tumbling bags of clothes. How
ever, more bags of clothes are
welcome until Oct. 18. Just leave
them inside the back door of the
church.
A hard working committee will
be sorting and displaying the
clothes for the used clothing
section of the Harvest Bonanza on
Thursday. Oct. 20 from 2 to 8 p.m.
and Friday. Oct. 21 from 2 to5 p.m.
Webster's Store has once again
kindly agreed to display the
“Silent Auction" items the week
previous to the sale. Bids may be
placed at the store or anytime
during Harvest Bonanza at the
Church. The bid boxes will be
opened on Saturday, Oct. 22at 3:30
p.m. with the items being sold to
the highest silent bidder. In the
case of a tie, bidders will be given
the opportunity to place another
bid. For this reason it is rather
important tobcat thcChurchon
Saturday before 3:30 p.m.
Saturday, October 22 features

Riddell looking for calendar photos
Jack Riddell. M.P.P. for Huron
and Ontario Minister of Agricul
ture is looking for photographs of
Huron to be used on a calendar.
Due to the popularity of the
Huron riding calendar he publish-
edlastyear. hesays.it hasbeen
suggested thatfor the 1989 version
photographs from around the
riding should be used.
As a result, Mr. Riddell and his
staff are asking amateur and
Blyth P.S. News
professional photographers tosub-
mit their favourite photographs of
any location in Huron county and a
pan el of judges will pick out the
best for use in the calendar.
Photographs in either four by
five or five by seven inch formats
(limit two submissions per person)
canbesent to Jack Riddell, M.P.P.
Huron, c/o801 BayStreet, 11th
Floor, Toronto M7A 1A3. The
name, address, telephone number
of the photographer and the exact
location at which the photograph
was taken should be printed clearly
on the back. All submissions
should be received in Mr. Riddell’s
office by Oct. 30.
Since the calendar will be
printed in black and white, the
composition of the photograph will
be more important than colour.
Prizes will be awarded for those
photographs used and the name of
the photographer will be printed
with the photograph.

Students get in the act before play
by Erin Bolger and Karin Lee
On September 22, the grade 8
students went to Hullett Central
School to be involved in a Fencing
demonstration. The demonstrator
was Mr. Philip McMillan, a drama
teacher at Goderich and District
Collegiate. The students were
taught some of the moves the
actors will be performing in the
play ‘‘The Three Musketeers", a
Stratford Festival Production.
Since the first week of school the
grade 7 and 8 class have been
studying the play and some
students will attend the play on
October 4.

condition that she spin the wool

The Goat Milking Competition,
also new, brought a lot of friendly
fun to the show, which was
highlighted by a competition be
tween the 1988-89 Queen of the
Fair, Angela Nethery, Fair Presi
dent John McIntosh, and Fair
Secretary Mrs. Boon. Dairy farmer
Mclntosheasily won the round,
although the prize for the greatest
weight of milk obtained, donated
by Topnotch Feeds in Brussels,
went to Charlie O’Neill of RR 7,
Markdale.
Sadly, the number of horses at
the Fair were very low, with only
the members of the Brussels 4-H
Horse Club taking part in their own
AchievementDay. Noexhibitors in
the Heavy Horse Division entered,
except for Milverton’s Leonard
Robinson, who won a prize in the
Fair parade; and the Fair directors
had earlier cancelled the Light
Horse Division of the Fair on the
grounds that “all of the prize
money was going out of the
district,’’ according to several
directors.
The results of the Fall Fair
Parade are as follows: Floats
(Organization) - first, Brussels
Curling Club; second, Seaforth
Agricultural Society; third, Brus
sels Optimists. Floats (Commer-
ial) - first, Grey Owl Enterprises;
second, McNeil’s Auto Body.

Mrs. R. W. Kennedy returned
home last weekend from a six-week
visit in Ottawa, accompanied by
herson Robert, his daughter, Mrs.
Tim Luesby and his son Adrian.
While on the trip she had the
pleasure of watching the Parade of
Boats that took place on the St.
Lawrence River to recognize, and
celebrate the 50th anniversary of
the Thousand Islands Internation
al Bridge. It was a magnificent
sight. Boats assembled at the
starting point at Clayton, New
York, went under the American
span of the bridge just west of
Alexander Bay, N.Y. then on to
Rockport, Ontario and cruised
under the Canadian span at Ivy
Lea. Ontario. Approximately 1400
Canadian and American boats
participated in the event. They
ranged from small run-a-bouts to
antique boats built prior to the
completion of the bridge, to large
60 ft. motor yachts. They were
escorted by Canadian and Ameri
can Coast Guard boats while a
R.C.M. aircraft patrolled above
the course of the Parade. Mrs.
Kennedy’s group watched the
flotilla while swinging at anchor
50 yards from the main channel at
Ivy Lea, themensunningthem-
selves on the bow, while Mrs.
Kennedy sat in a comfortable deck
chair, sipping a cool libation.
Mrs. Arnold Huether and Wm.
