Residents celebrate birthdays
Wild Winds
An old tree at the back of the house rented by Tim and
Donna Prior of RR 3 Brussels, was brought down by strong
winds on Friday night. Fortunately only the corner of the
roof was damaged. Mrs. Prior says, "Hopefully it will be
fixed within a couple of weeks."

Although Mary Humphries
turned 75 on June 24, her birthday
party was held July 11, at the
Walton Hall.
Her children, Bob, Kim and
Wenda held an open house for
Mary from 2 to 4 p.m.
When asked if she had any words
of wisdom she replied, "I live one
day at a time and try to make the
very best of that day."
July 8 was "Mitchell Days with
the Blue Jays" and several bus
loads of fans went to the SkyDome
to watch the game.
Don, Marilyn, Jim and Linda
Pastor speaks
of sowing seed
Dorothy Sholdice and Viola
Traviss greeted people at Duff's
United Church July 11.
As promised, Rev. Banks made
the Biblical quiz a little more
difficult. However, the congrega-
tion still answered most correctly.
Rev. Banks's sermon was called
`Seeds'. Taken from the parable
about the seeds and the sower, it
spoke much on failure, while only
one verse dealt with success.
Teachers, ministers, often sow
seed but often aren't there to see the -
harvest, Rev. Banks said. We all
plant seeds, whether we're aware of
it or not.
At times, he said, it seems the
negative seeds are the most
successful. God's abundant and
persistent grace will ensure that
there will always be a harvest.
McDonald were part of the group.
Due to rain the SkyDome had to be
closed (not before everyone got
soaked) and for Marilyn, not being
an avid sports fan, that was the best
part of the night.
The McGavins attended the
baptism of their grandson Alex
James Melady, at St. Columban. A
McGavin family reunion was held
this weekend near Goderich.
Heartfelt sympathies go to
Malinda Johnston and family at the
death of Hugh Johnston. The
funeral was held in Brussels, July
10 with Rev. Randy Banks
officiating.
A luncheon put on by Walton
UCW, was held at Duff's United
Church following the service.
A very successful vacation bible
school was put on this past week at
Duff's United, by Rev. Randy
Banks and Patty Banks. Fifteen
children ages four to 10 came every
morning from 10 - it. w learn
A very special visitor arrived on
Friday, when a baby raccoon
thought he would like to come to
church.
Phyllis and Emerson Mitchell
have had a lot of overnight guests
at their Bed and Breakfast home
these last few months.
They've met many interesting
people and Saturday was no
exception as three female bikers
pulled into their yard. They called
themselves `Motormaids'. One
woman was in her seventies and
had been biking for 48 years.
They were from Welland and
Ottawa.
