Plenty of local people had their wedding receptions there. In those days the receptions were held a few weeks to a month after the wedding. Mary Humphries' reception was held at the hall 52 years ago. The year 1943 was a busy year for weddings in Walton. Harvey and Margaret Craig, Margery and Cliff Ritchie, Bert and Helen Williamson, Norman and Evelyn Willams, Ray and Lois Houston all held their receptions in the Hall that year. Marie and Bill Coutts enjoyed their reception there 45 years ago. She recalls some of the bands that used to play at the dances at the hall every two weeks summer and winter - Arthur's Orchestra from Wingham, Kirkby's band (which was made up of Herb Kirkby and his wife Nancy, George Love Sr., Mildred Travis, Stewart McCall, Norris band from Staff, Pryce Orchestra from Winthrop, Redman's Orchestra from Londesboro, Ken Wilbee band and Ian Wilbee band. Marie recalls her mother, Mrs. Russel Marks, making the sandwiches for the lunch at the dances. For Laverne and Marion Godkin, the Walton Hall dance was where they went on their first date. Marion also recalls a lot of school concerts held in the building. There were also three act plays that were held, put on by various groups touring the area. Leona McDonald and husband Ken (whose reception was at the Hall 44 years ago) said that when Rev. Hazelwood was at Duff's United, he led a group of 'young people' and they put on a lot of plays at the hall. I talked to Ian and Elva Wilbee about their band days and they said back in the 40s the price of admission to the dance was 35 cents and the lunch was free. The women usually sat on benches along the wall or stood in front of the band. The men bunched up at the top of the stairs. I asked if there were any fights and Ian said, "yes and the band just kept on playing". Kelly Galbraith of Whitby spent the weekend at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Campbell and Heather. Michael Galbraith of Whitby spent the weekend at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Jardin and Darryl. Also Michael Jardin and his friend, Debbie Thomas of Sarnia were guests at Michael's parents home (Harold and Nancy Jardin). Ashley Irwin of Ashfield Township spent the weekend at her grandmother's, Betty Irwin. Ashley celebrated her ninth birthday with her grandmother as well as her father Kevin. Mr. and Mrs. John Campbell, Jeremy and Justin were weekend guests at Linda's sister's and brother-in-law's Heather and Bob Maass of London. While there the boys enjoyed going to the Golf and Outdoors Sports Show. There was indoor golfing as well as a driving range and it was held at the fairgrounds in London. Displayed were different varieties of golfing equipment as well as boats and fishing equipment. On Sunday afternoon John, Linda, Jeremy and Justin Campbell as well as Heather and Bob Maass Kathleen met her husband Roy Williamson on a blind date. That date took place at the dance. Their reception was held 45 years ago. I asked them if they could recall some of the good dancers around here that stuck out in the crowd. They said Harvey and Margaret Craig, Eileen and Harvey Stevenson, Harold and Elva Bolger, Ralph and Anna McNichol, Jack and Annie Bruce, Evelyn and Norman Williamson. Some of the dances were the Fox Trot, Old Time Waltz, French Minuet, Polka, 2-Step and the Cross Country Waltz. She and Roy remembered Wilfred Shortreed, Gilbert McCallum and Bill Humphries Sr. as the ones working at the door. Everyone I talked to said what wonderful times they had at those dances. Well, 'The Old Time Dance' is back again this Friday, Feb. 17 with a band and a lunch. It is a fundraiser put on by some volunteers who hope that the community will help keep the Walton Community Hall going. . The Hall will also be used on Sunday, Feb. 19 for the poker rally. Registration for this event will be from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Compiled by Patty Banks Pban•68/4800 People Kris McNichol had Scott Mc- Donald, Brian Dolmage, Michael Beuermann and Jeff Lenton over on Friday to help him celebrate his I lth birthday. Although the snow storm kept them from going skating, it didn't keep the boys from having a great time. A junior broomball tournament was held at Palmerston this past weekend. Stacy and Paul Linton, Kelly McDonald, Corrine and Carrie Leonhardt all participated in the tournament. Due to poor weather conditions, Duff's United Church service was cancelled.

This dance is being put on by the Home and School Association. It had to be cancelled due to the stormy weather. The community shower for Kate Procter at Women's Institute Hall had to also be cancelled. Beth Procter returned home from the Wingham and District Hospital where she had been a patient for a few days. Friends and neighbours wish Beth a speedy recovery.

The second Belgrave winter pot luck luncheon was held on Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 12:15 at the Belgrave Women's Institute Hall with a good crowd in attendance despite blustery weather conditions. The usual bounteous meal was followed by guest speaker, Marie Webster of Dungannon. Marie and her husband were part of a working group from Ontario that volunteered to enlarge a church on the Caribbean Island of St. Vincent. They lived and worked with the natives. Marie discussed the enormous differences in the two cultures. They have so little - we have so much. Marie, a teacher by profession was allowed into their schools where attendance is not compulsory. A student gets three chances to pass an exam allowing them the privilege of a high school education. Mary Hunter thanked Marie for sharing her very interesting experiences. President Dorothy Coultes reminded the group of the next pot luck on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 12:15. The theme will be "Remembrances of the Belgrave School Fair" which is celebrating its 75th anniversary, Sept. 15.
