PAGE 9. McCalls hold reunion It was the 35th annual reunion of the McCall clan when they met at the Walton Hall on Sunday, Aug. 15. The attendance was about the same as last year, with some 50 people signing the register book. It was a much better day than last year as there was no rain, so the sports were able to be held outside in the afternoon. The tables had been set up and food was arranged, as it came in, by convenors Joan Perrie and Bev Stevenson. Following grace by Harry Snell, everyone sat down to a delicious smorgasbord meal. President Doreen McCall welcomed everyone. She brought greetings from Torrey McCall, Victoria B.C. who sent regards to all, but was unable to attend the reunion this year. Guests were Ed and Myrna McCall and Jack Forsyth, from Regina, Sask.; his sister Annie Pegg of Nipawin, Sask.; and Ross McCall from Carleton Place. Birthday greetings were extended to Betty Lair of Glencoe as her birthday on that day. It was brought to everyone's attention that Ed McCall of Regina, Sask.; and Jack McCall, Campbell- ville, Ont. were the only two McCall vets in Canada. Sports were conducted by Debbie Blake. Several prizes were given out to the first place winners which the young folk enjoyed. Many of the older relatives enjoyed visiting and catching up with distant relatives. Every year there seems to be a different crowd there. Several pictures were in the book to enjoy, every year seems to make a difference in the crowd. The supper meal was again set up at 5 p.m. Several stayed to enjoy some more of that delicious food, bringing to a close a very successful reunion, on such a beautiful day. He's what? While the dust settles around Brussels Midget Chris Terpstra, the designated player, the third baseman from Moorefield stares in disbelief at the umpire's call. Chris, caught between third and home, slid back to third, but the Moorefield player believed he had the tag on in time. The ump, however, saw the play differently and Chris was safe.

Randy Banks on holidays until Aug. 31, the Walton Church is closed, so he took his family and guests to worship at Winthrop where Rev. Bruce Cook delivered an inspiring sermon. Viola Kirkby visited Helen. Hazelwood at Port Carling. She is the widow of Rev. Hazelwood, a former minister of Duffs United. Betty and Allan McCall and family toured the Goderich Township Windmill and said it was a very worthwhile trip. It was good to hear that Jamie and Katie Emmrich spent a great week at Camp Craig. Happy Anniversary to Ross and Marg Bennett on Aug. 26 and to Bill and Marjory Humphries on Aug. 27. Randy and Patty Banks and family went to Parry Sound to board the Island Queen and tour the 30,000 islands on Georgian Bay. The islands of the Bay are part of the Precambrian Shield, the oldest rocks in the world. One of the islands was called Skull Island or Dead Island because it was used as a native burial ground in the past. Some of the islands sported some Brussels Midgets play well Continued from page 8 respectable outings on the mound with six strikeouts total, but two home runs off Steiss by Scott Cher- ry in the third and Geoff Mclsaac in the eighth made the difference as Moorefield edged Brussels 10-8. Coach John Lowe said, "The young men played very well, out- playing and outpitching Moorefield in both games, but just haven't found the holes when hitting." Brussels hosted Moorefield for the third game Aug. 23 at 9. very impressive houses. They were told that anyone can purchase an island for $200,000. Patty says it was a beautiful trip; another chance to see more of this wonderful country. Patty says if anyone has noticed a boy in Walton with a partially shaved head with a strip of hair down the middle, will likely do a double take, realizing it's Geoffrey Banks the youngest son, who fell prey to his Grandpa Wheeler's (Patty's father) hair clippers. Patty says, he knew as soon as Grandpa saw his long hair he'd be in trouble so he thought he'd go `whole hog' and get one of Grandpa's famous (at least in Vanderhoof, B.C.) Mohawk hair cuts. Both he and Grandpa are pleased with the results. Only trouble Geoff has had with the new style is sunburn. The Banks family has shown Patty's parents quite a bit of the area and they are impressed with all the brick houses — something you don't see much of in the West. They love the old barns and farms and the different trees, black squirrels, which they've never seen before, and the corn crops. They don't have corn in their area of B.C. and are now trying to figure out how many ears of corn they can get in the suitcases to take home. So for now it's corn on the cob for supper every night. Walton was all a 'buzz' as 2,000 spectators came to watch the 370 bike riders entered in the motocross event this past weekend. Some of the riders were from New York, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. The national champ of 10 years was there from Medicine Hat, Alta. Some of the local boys did very well. Matt Lee won the 125 intermediate and his brother Brett won the 250 junior, making them National champions. Robbie Mitchell came in fifth in the 60 peewees. Congratulations boys.
