The Lucknow Sentinel, 1978-07-19, Page 15Lucknow Seati*iel, Wednesday,. July 19, 11178—Pyle S Holyrood correspv►rcden,t tales trip to Manitoulin BY LYNNE NICOLSON I don't know if many will be interested but I went on a wee bit of a holiday this week. I was finally able to experience a trip on the Chi-Cheemaun. After buying tickets we boarded the ship and dashed up stairs so that we would not miss anything. It was a beautiful day for sailing and probably very typical. It was the type of day when the sun shines and the wind blows, and together they make a very enjoyable journey. On arrival at Manitoulin Island, South Bay Mouth to be exact, you see nothing but. carsand it continues • on like this until people ° decide to stop at neighbouring villag- es. We alo did this but were slightlydisappointed as there is not much to°see here. The pleasant thing is that youdo not have to travel, great distances until you reach another village. We were becoming a bit bored when someone noticed a sign "Bridal Veil Falls", What we found was some-. thing like a miniature Niag- ara only more beautiful. You are able to swim right under the falls or for the less daring, sit on some of the many . jutting rocks 'and,. let the fine spray from the water tickle your face. There is•�also South Kinloss BY RUTH BUCHMEIER Mr. and Mrs. Fraser Mac- Kinnon visited on the week- end with Mrs. Jack Wilson ankl family of Hamilton.

MacKinnon and Murray. , Mr. and Mrs. Norm Le Claire and Donna of Toronto visited with Mr. of Mrs. Ray Buchmeier and Carol. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Collyer, Mary Macintyre and Mari- lynne Maclntyre returned home from a three week. holiday to Western Canada' as far as Lake Louise, Alberta. While away they attended the Calgary Stant-, pede and visited friends and relatives including Rev. and Mrs. Glenn Noble and Leslie in Swift Current, Saskatche wan. The Lu o T Lions Club and Heidi tberg Lions Club had their annual barbegtte at ,,the grounds°of Mr. and Mrs. tTom.. Bisch 'on Sunday. / The South Kinloss church fI picnic was held on Sunday at Kincardine Park. a trail that can be followed along the river. After leaving the falls we travelled to Pr9vidence Ba�y' .. It is here that the longdst stretch of sandy beach can be found, but we were too late in reaching the Bay because it was becoming a bit too windy as the night started to move in. We decided to swim in the morning but when we got up it was raining and to top, things off we found out that the Chi-Cheemaun had broken down and so we were stranded. It was not until after we had waited for three hours that we heard the familiar signal that the ship was just around the bend. After watching everyone load off, we loaded on. This time we did not rush upstairs as there was so much fog. You hear talk of rolling ships, well believe me this ship rolled. Back and forth, back and forth, enough to make some- one sick. It did. Not any one from our family even though We felt like it sometimes. We •- finally did reach the other side of the bay and headed directly home and to cheer us up (Ha) we were greeted with more rain and fog. I think this trip could probably be very enjoyable, certainly the C1 Cheemaun was (on favourable days that is). Manitoulin would also be enjoyable for those who like to paint or hike as the scenery is beautiful' Holyrood is very proud of one of its inhabitants, Mary Eadie who has been chosen to represent the counties of Bruce, Huron and • `Grey at the Junior Farmers' Confer- ence in Prince Edward Is- land: She hopes to learn about P.E.I. and promote Ontario farmers. There will be no exchange between the two provinces. Mary will write' out a report and hopes to take slides so that she can share her experiences with others. Mrs. Baker of R. R. 3 Holyrood won the weekly CKNX draw of $250.00 worth of shopping this Friday. She claimed that she never entered so someone must have done it for her. There were a few mistakes in last we$ks column that 1 would like to bring to your attentt.on. The first one was a typing error and the sentence should have read that Sandy Nicholson's last name should have been spelled without an "H". . Secondly part of one sentence should have read "stirred many a Scottish heart". I fear this column has not been very .interesting but 1 hope the R,thought for the week will 'at least perk up your interest. "Great minds discuss id- eas. Average minds discuss events. Little minds discuss people". le Grove BY KERRY BOYLE Don and Alma Gillies visited Sunday in Paisley with Bill and Betty Caldwell. -Tammy and Dion Dope spent the week with their grandparents, Norval and Isabell Stanley.
