Children play Simon Says
50 plus at Pumpkinfest
With their parents, over 50
children attended the annual
Pumpkinfest at the hall on Monday,
Oct. 28. The children were busy
carving elaborate and scary jack-o-
lanterns from pumpkins, bobbing
for apples or doing crafts. The
judging was in age groups for
originality and scare-a-bility for the
jack-o-lanterns.
Winners were: pre-school,
Trevor Moore, Matt Wilson, age
five to seven; Katie Peesher, age 8-
10; Jeremy Hanna, 11-3; Kim
Berry, 14 and over. These were all
freehand carving. All-age carving
made with stencil was won by
Brenda Empey, followed by Steve
Empey and Roman Sturzenegger.
Centrepieces done with pump-
kins and judged earlier were won
by Brenda Empey, Michael Bean,
and Pamela Schneider. Leanne
Vincent had the largest pumpkin, a
whopping 160 lbs. Katie Peesher's
was not small, 88 lbs.
Jessica Verwey won with her
Goblins and witches travelled up
Betsey Verwey's long lane at
8 p.m. on Oct. 28. This was the
Walkerburn Club's Halloween
party.
Costumed or not Vera Penfound
presented all present with a gift.
She then read In Flanders Fields,
the poem written by John David
McCrae during World War I. She
read a history of his life. He was a
young doctor from Guelph, who
served overseas. He was well
respected and loved. He died of
pneumonia there in 1917.
Many physicians, nurses and
patients were present for his
funeral. His familiar poem is still
very unusual shaped pumpkin.
The judges had a difficult time
judging the winners in the various
baking categories. Of course, there
was pumpkin pie but also stuffed
pumpkin, a pumpkin witch's cake
and pumpkin parfait as novelty
baking. It still was hard for the
volunteer judge to judge the
pumpkin muffins, squares, tarts,
loaves, etc.
Pamela Schneider and Rachel
Arthur had a busy evening serving
juice and popcorn to one and all.
Individuals and businesses
donated prizes. Door prize winner,
a gift certificate from the Weed
Man was Debbie Berry. Second
prize, a year's subscription to The
North Huron Citizen was won by
Marshall Dumin.

used in services. It is a tribute to
those who died for others.
Ethel Ball continued the meeting
with prayer. Minutes were read.
Treasurer Bernice Norman gave the
financial report.
Ethel continued with a reading on
"Grandma's Apron". It brought
back memories to all present.
Aprons are certainly not in use
today as once they were.
The draw, donated by Vera, was
won by Martha Daer. Ila Cunning-
ham invited the club to her home
for the November meeting. It will
be lunch. Convenor Betty
Archambault will be in charge of

On Nov. 3 with Bernice Gross as
organist, a musical prelude opened
the service at Knox United Church.
Rev. Paul Ross led the
congregation in the Invitation to
Worship, followed by the opening
chorus. He then gave welcoming
words and the announcements.
Jesus Loves Me was sung,
followed by prayer. The children's
chorus Jesus Loves the Little
Children was then sung as the
children went to the front. From a
bag, a card was drawn which told
them to play "Simon Says". Orders
were followed, then Rev. Ross
spoke to them about obedience and
the importance of following God's
word. Prayer was said in unison
and the children went to their
Sunday School classes.
Tell Me the Old, Old Story was
then sung. Scripture was read from
Joshua 3 on the parting of the River
Jordan and the Israelites crossing
safely to the other side. In the New
Testament 1 Thessalonians 4, it is
noted that in believing Christ died
and rose again means meeting Him
in the future. St. Matthew 25
speaks of God's Kingdom — to be
always prepared for the day of His
coming.
The hymn Take My Life and Let
It Be was sung.
The sermon was "Wanted — A
Good Leader". Everyone is not
made to be a leader, said Rev.

Ross. It takes special qualities to be
one. Those elected for this service
must be someone in whom people
have faith and trust. Rev. Ross
spoke of people who had fulfilled
this role throughout the ages. When
a leader promises anything they do
their best to see that it is done.
People who trust them follow their
orders. So it is with Christians they
follow in Christ's path, he said.
Prayer of thanks and concern
followed by 7'he Lord's Prayer in
unison were said. Offering was
then received from church and
Sunday School. The doxology and
offertory prayer were given.
Guide Me, 0 Thou Great
Jehovah was sung. The Benedic-
tion was given and the Amens
closed the service.
Londesboro United Church has
invited the Auburn Church to a pot
luck supper on Nov. 8 at 6:30 p.m.
This is to be a fellowship evening
for all. Donations received will be
for the Mission and Service Fund.
