Lambton Museum offers treasures for students Students, teachers and volunteers had a wonderful lime on the field trip to Lambion Heritage Museum. The children were given treasure maps and followed the clues to see all that the museum had to offer. After the lour the Grade 3/4s went to Centralia to see the Bluewater recycling plants. They were awestruck by the piles of cans in the bales. They learned that there are 10,000 to 11,000 cans in one bale. The other classes went on to the Pineridge Zoo, Grand Bend, where they enjoyed seeing Ben the baboon, llamas, a Siberian tiger, monkeys and other interesting creatures. Comments from adult volunteers were that it was a leisurely time, and everyone enjoyed the animals and the little WaltonTtie news from Compiled by Patty Banks Phone 887-6156 Duff’s prepares for anniversary service Neil and Marie McGavin were greeters at Duff's United Church June 8. Rev. James Murray led the congregation in the Call to Worship and the opening hymn was sung, g Rev. Murray drew everyone’s attention to the floral arrangements at the front of the church, saying they were placed there by Murray Houston and family in memory of his sister, Brenda Mathers, who died last week. It was announced that next Sunday is Anniversary Sunday and the service begins at 11 with lunch served afterwards. The children were called to the front where Patti Banks, Sunday School superin­ tendent, presented teachers, Heidi McClure, Gloria Wilbee, JoAnn McDonald, Brad Finlayson and Shannon Gibbons, with apprecia­ tion certificates. The teachers then called up their students and gave them their promotion certificates. JoAnn gave them their attendance seals. Hensail Co-op leads into the 21st century Continued from page 14 tola to," Hicks stated. The co-operative will take part in an environmental audit to help the business develop a plan for the safely of employees, farmers and the community when handling crop protection products and fertilizers. Al the conclusion of the process, the Hensall District Co-op will become the first Canadian co­ operative to be an AG*21 Certified retailer. It is one of six Canadian co-operatives that are part of the Farmland Co-operative System. The AG’21 program has been operational for four years. So far, 36 co-operatives in the U.S. are involved al some stage in the AG»21 process. Nearly two million acres are now farmed under program guidelines. The Hensall District Co-op is comprised of 4,500 farmer chipmunks that seemed to be everywhere. The kindergarten class had a guest come to their room on Tuesday morning, June 3. Jamie Mitchell was excited to introduce his grandma, Phyllis Mitchell to the class. She brought her fiddle and played some fiddle lunes, then played a few songs that the children knew and sang along. Then she let everyone come up and play the instrument. Friday was the annual volunteer appreciation lea. Helen Crocker thanked all the people who have helped throughout the year. She told of these three new sponsors this year, the Brussels Legion, Blyth Legion Ladies, and a corporate sponsor Wescast Coast Industries (Wingham). Rev. Murray's sermon was called "Camping". Having a weekend of camping with the Cubs and Beavers from Brussels left Rev. Murray rather weary, he said, as he was up and down during the night with the boys. Then came Saturday night when his son, Peter fell and broke his arm and it couldn't be set until Sunday afternoon. He realized how great it felt to be at home in his own bed. He talked about the apostle Paul who knew what it was like living in a tent, journeying across the country, very seldom staying in one spot. Rev. Murray said he has heard that if one counted up all the miles Paul walked barefoot in his journeying of telling what Christ had done in his life, it would equal walking across Canada 10 times. "We could look at tents as representing our daily life as far as change, uncertainties. Our permanent homes can represent God, being stable, pleasant and protective," he said. members and has 10 locations throughout the area. Located on he southern Canadian peninsula bordered by lakes Huron, Erie and Ontario, Hensall is about 175 kms. northeast of Detroit, Mich., and nearly the same distance southwest of Toronto. The area is a major agricultural region for Ontario. Headquartered in Kansas City, Farmland, a $9.8 billion (U.S.) agricultural and food company, is the largest farmer-owned regional co-operative in North America with businesses spanning all 50 U.S. states and more than 85 countries. The Farmland Co-operative System and the thousands of dedicated people who work for it are driven by one central purpose: to be a producer-driven, customer-focused, and profitable, ag supply to consumer foods co-operative system. The Grade 3/4 class then pul on five skits that the students worked up to show what they thought the volunteers did in their school. The Grade Is did an interesting exercise called, 'Shed the Snakes Skin'. This was to show the interconnected relationship that is there with parent volunteers. They work hand in hand to support the school in so many ways. Each student held up a letter that spelled volunteer and had some­ At a special assembly honouring volunteers, students at Walton Public School presented skits for the enjoyment of those in attendance.
