Mrs. Johnston celebrates 80th
Inthe afternoon of May 2, the
family of Mrs. Gladys Johnston
honoured their mother on her 80th
birthday by holding a reception in
the Blyth Legion Hall, at which
Mrs. Johnston received 150
friends and relatives.
Her eldest daughter, Doris,
People
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Longman and
families attended the baptism of
their grandson and nephew Jason
Michael, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken
Longman, atthe Whiteoaks United
Church, London on Sunday.
Blyth folk are always not only
glad but also relieved to see Mrs.
Lila Radford back from Florida
where she spends 5 - 6 months each
year. Lila is always the last to
return and her appearance assures
us that warm weather has returned
too. However, the below-normal
temperatures we have been exper-
iencing makes us feel she has
fooled us regarding the weather
thisyear, and perhaps, herself,
too. Nevertheless, we are happy to
have her among us for the next half
year, and to see her enjoying her
home, family and friends.
Ladies ended up with the high
scores for both men and women
whenthe regular Monday night
euchre party was held at Blyth
Memorial Hall last week. Alice
Buchanan and Mabel McAdam,
playing as a man, had the top
scores. Rita Wright and Graeme
McDowell had the low scores. Vi
Howes and Hazel Reid had the
most lone hands. Bernice McClin-
chey won the special prize.
Time is winding down for the
Wednesday night Lost Heir card
parties. The last party will be held
May 13.
Last week seven tables were in
play. High scores were recorded by
Nora Kelly and Joe Holmes.
Winnie Vincent and Shane Snell.

The Huron Country Playhouse
has announced that “Glenn Ben
nett and the Magic Dragon Band’’
will be appearing at the Playhouse
on July 13 for two separate
performances at 11 a.m. and 2:30
p.m.
This Montgreal born singer-
song-writer began his performing
career in front of his Grade 1
classmates, and has never looked
back. Having started out solo, Mr.
Bennett now performs in concert
with the help of the multi-talented
Magic Dragon Band. Together
they put an audience through a
non-stop hour full of singing,
laughing and even jumping up and
down.
His songs have a way of
appealing to all ages. Kids sit with
their eyes open wide as they hear
about the strange eating habits of
“Jonathon Edwards The Third”
while parents relate all too easily to
the antics of “My Baby Brother.”
