Large crowd Sunday
for Inn’s opening
On Sunday afternoon a large
crowd came to the open house of
the Walton Inn to meet with Karl
and Annie MacNaughton who are
proud owners of the Walton Inn
and a new business.
After a tour to see how history
repeated itself everyone was treat
ed to tea, coffee and goodies.
The building was constructed in
1862. The Walton Inn has housed
overnight guests from many parts
of the world for over 100 years.
Now in 1989 after a complete
facelift, the Walton Inn has been
revitalized to begin anew to greet
4H club members
guests of Walton W.I.
presented an envelope of money on
behalf of the Institute.
Leaders of both clubs expressed
their thanks to the Institute for
sponsoring the 4-H Clubs. Walton I
Club leaders were Karen Hoegy
and Judy Glauser. Walton II Club
leaders were Ruth Axtmann and
Ruth Schade. A penny auction was
conducted by Margaret Craig and
Elva Bolger when all the girls won
a prize, causing quite a bit of
excitement. The group broke for
lunch then finished the business
after guests went home.
school you
is used for
now turned
Two 4-H club members and
leaders were guests at the Walton
Women's Institute at the hall on
Wednesday evening May 17.
The girls had their books and a
knitted article they had completed
in the recent 4-H club project,
“Working with Wool’’. Marion
Godkin conducted the opening,
then welcomed the guests to the
meeting. Minutes and correspon
dence was read by Marjorie Hum
phries followed by the treasurer’s
report. The pork luncheon was not
as well attended, about 60 were
fed. There will be another luncheon
in June then the W.I. will discon
tinue luncheons until October.
There are other functions to cater
to in June.
The roll call was well answered
by members on “A
attended and what it
today’’.
The meeting was
over to convenors on Education and
Cultural Activities when Elva Bol
ger read several interesting items
then introduced Jane Meugge who
spoke on Education, bringing us
much food for thought.
Groups were formed to find out
what you enjoyed most when you
went to school, one of your memor
able occasions. It’s up to us all to
show an example as we go into the
90’s. We should have responsibil
ity, education skills, communica
tion, self confidence and love along
with honesty and coping to change.
We should have a hobby to reach
with self confidence. There is going
to be a big change in the coming
years. Margaret Craig expressed
thanks to Jane for her message and

Walton Public School gets
much needed library space
The Huron County Board of
Education has announced that
Ministry and board funds have
been made available to provide
additional classroom space at Wal
ton Public School. With this addi
tion, space will be available for
library, Special Education, a com
puter lab and much needed audio
visual and general storage.
The Walton Public School build
ing was erected in 1962. There
have been few changes made since
that time. The school houses pupils
from Kindergarten to Grade 3.
Many new programs have been
implemented since 1962. A library
facility, computer labs and Special
Education opportunities are now
integral parts of our school system.
This new semi permanent addi
tion to Walton Public School will
ensure that the children of the
school area have equal programm
ing opportunities necessary to pre
pare them for the 1990’s.
