Making a sale
After collecting bottles all morning, Scouts Chauncey Brown (left) and Chris Knox (right) took
their turn behind the bake table and made a sale to raise money for the 1st Blyth Scout
organization. The bottle drive and bake sale on Blyth's main street are an annual event for the
scouts, cubs and beavers.
Seniors hear of Kenya
A good turnout of Blyth
Swinging Seniors met on April 28
in the Blyth Memorial Hall for a
pot luck dinner.
Following the dinner President,
Isabel Craig called the meeting to
order and opened with 0 Canada
with Graeme McDowell at the
piano. Lloyd Walden and Vera
Badley led a lively sing-song and
also sang happy birthday to Lenora
Davidson and Feme McDowell for
their April birthdays.
Guest Mrs. Jean Bewley of
Brussels, showed her pictures of
Africa from a recent trip. Jean and
her friend Viola Kirkby Aarted
their journey in Kenya and saw
monkeys, elephants, water buffalo
and zebras as well as flocks of pink
flamingo, storks and pelicans.
The roads were very bumpy with
deep ditches on each side with
To meet expenses, rental rates at
Blyth Memorial Hall are being
increased.
The Memorial Hall Committee,
chaired by Councillor Shirley Fyfe,
decided to raise the rates to reduce
the hall's annual operating deficit.
"The rates haven't been raised in
a couple of years and some of the
rates weren't even covering our
expenses," said Councillor Fyfe.
Last year, the village had to pay
$9,428 to cover the hall's $17,356
operating expense.
Most of the rental fees have gone
up $5. Here are the new rates:
—main basement and kitchen:
$80 from $75
—auditorium, basement and
kitchen for local or non-profit
groups $140 from $135
—auditorium, basement and
kitchen for outside groups: $250
from $175 (the new fee includes
the $50 for lights and $25 for dress-
ing room that weren't included in
the old price)
—art gallery: $50 from $25 for
local groups and $75 for outside
groups
—card clubs, Blyth Horticultural
Society, seniors groups and the
Blyth Optimists: $20 for the base-
ment from $15
—Blyth and District Lions: $30
water in them. The landscape was
different around Cairo, more like a
desert with drifting sand.
She had an enjoyable trip down
the Nile River where the scenery
was beautiful. She visited the
Valley of the Kings where the
Pharaohs made huge monuments of
themselves.
She said the pyramids were very
interesting and one wonders how
they were constructed like that, so
many years ago.
Mary Walden thanked Jean for
sharing her trip with us.
One moment's silence was held
in memory of Jim Lawrie who had
contributed so much music to the
seniors.
John Hesselwood favoured with
reading a joke.
The bus trip was discussed and
Isabel will make a few more
from $25
—Auditorium: $60 from $55.
The committee has also decided
to use $500 in trust to put in a tro-
phy case. An offer was also accept-
ed from the Blyth Legion Auxiliary
to purchase two slat blinds for the
hall.
Baptism
at CRC
Greeters for the first Sunday in
May at Blyth Christian Reformed
Church were Jack and Sylvia
Nonkes.
After a few words of welcome
the 10 Commandments were read.
Rev. Heersink then performed
the baptism of little Brenden
Boven, son of Karl and Anita.
The scripture reading was chosen
from Psalm 87 for the morning
message.
Rev. Heersink spoke about how
new life through Jesus Christ gives
Christian cause to celebrate. We
need fellow Christians to share in
our joys and concerns, our laughter
and our tears. As worshippers we
find what we are looking for. If we
choose to have a positive outlook
and an open heart we will
experience God's closeness readily.

discussed and several showed
interest.
The next meeting will be May 26
