Resident hosts house warming
The community of Walton
extends its sympathy to Vai Pethick
and family on the loss of her father,
Douglas Strasser of Sebringville,
on Thursday.
The Walton WI ladies prepared
and served dinner to a bus load ol
to play cards, visit and eat. Dave
Baan gave a most interesting
address, noting how the community
has changed through the years. The
family was presented with gifts.
A good time was had by all.
Well the talk of the town in
people who stopped on their way to
the Blyth Festival June 23.
Since moving to this area I have
learned that any excuse to have a
party will do. So having said that
the party that I am reporting about
happened at the new home of Paul,
Dianne, Cindy, Colleen and Kenny
McCallum. Actually, it was a
Walton this past weekend was of
course the McGavin wedding. Jeff
(Smiley) McGavin and Shannon
Rice exchanged vows Saturday,
June 25. The church was filled with
friends and family as Shannon
walked down the aisle. Graeme
Craig played his guitar and sang
before the service started and
Margaret Whitmore played the
organ. The Strong sisters sang
throughout the service as well.
After Rev. Banks introduced the
community party from the people
on the 17th line and boundary. I
guess you could call it a Going
Away and Welcome into your new
Wheel
Morgan Armstrong of Ethel enjoys a push from dad Bruce
at the Grey Family Picnic held at Grey Central Public
School on Sunday. Great weather saw a wonderful
turnout.
hear laughter. I learned later that all
of Jeff's attendants had put on
'Nerd' glasses.
The bell at the old Walton School
rang many times and if you
happened to notice the sign in front
of McGavin's you would have read
'Jeff McGavin under new
management.'
It was a beautiful wedding and
the reception was one to remember.
Congratulations Jeff and Shannon.
The weather couldn't have been
more perfect for Bill and Marjory
on June 26 as they hosted a
Humphries family picnic. Around
35 family members attended the
event and had a good time and
visit.

Children remember poor
On June 26 Rev. Banks
welcomed worshippers to the
Duff's United service. He
announced that there will be
regular service for the month of
July. The ushers for that month will
be John Gillis, Fred McClure and
Sharon Godkin.
The children came to the front
and sang a three part round called
the Garbage Round. Rev. Banks
asked the kids to help him fill out
the circle that had 10 wedge shapes
in it. The kids had to tell him what
they would buy if they had a dollar.
After various answers like candy,
hockey cards, and food, he soon
had all but one wedge filled in.
Upon asking what else they could
do with the dollar he helped them
consider giving some of it to the
church, to help the poor and
suffering. /
Rev. Banks' sermon was called,
"Paul’s Venture in Missions
Programme."
This was also the last day of
Sunday School so the children went
outside for some games and then
filled up on hot dogs and ice cream.
Many employees say that what
they most desire in order to balance
work and family is flexibility.
