FROM LONDESBORO
Hullett PS
Grades 3, 6
take the test
The Education Quality arid
Accountability Office of the
Ministry of Education and Training
is again testing the pupils of Grades
3 and ‘6 across Ontario in May.
Hullett Central Public School will
do their testing May 7, 8. 9. 14, 15
and 16 for a portion of each day.
Hullett's spring musical event will
be held Thursday. May 10 at 7 p.m.
in the school auditorium. The pupils
from kindergarten to Grade 8 will
perform the musical numbers which
were recorded for their CD. The
same selections were sung at the
Walkerton Music Festival. Also per-
forming will be the school band
directed by Ms Wyatt.
This musical event coincides with
the release of the school's CD/tape
which will then be available for pur-
chase. Don Baker. the studio direc-
tor for the taping will assist with the
performance that evening.
Be sure to check out the front win-
dows of the school. M. J. Horbanuik
has designed and painted spring
scenes on them. What a unique way
to share her artistic talent with the
school community!
Jack and Phyllis Potter greeted
churchgoers at Londesboro United
Church on May 6. Jack and Helen
Lee were the ushers. Don and
Catherine Allen served coffee, juice
and muffins prior to the service. The
senior choir offered a hymn as
anthem.
Flowers at the front of the sanctu-
ary were in memory of Elmer Trick.
The sympathy of the church commu-
nity is offered to Bob and Sylvia
Trick and family during this time of
sorrow.
Designated as Rural Life Sunday,
the farming theme was reflected in
hymns and scripture passages.
During the years of travel from
Egypt to the promised land, the orig-
inal refugees had displeased God. As
punishment they would not be
allowed to enter the new land. Even
Moses would remain behind in the
land of Moab.
But in Deuteronomy 34: 1-8 God
allows Moses to gaze on the new
land from a mountaintop. The New
Testament passage was Matthew 9:
I4-17.
The storybag item during the chil-
dren's time was a manual, portable
typewriter. In discussion it was felt
most people/children would want to
upgrade to a computer, to make a
change for the better. Rev. Paul Ross
stated that by attending Sunday
School or church people would
upgrade their faith by learning more
about living God's way.
Rev. Ross's message centred on
the fact that all aspects of rural life
are changing. What rural dwellers
know seems to be being left behind
for a future that is unknown — mov-
ing from what seems safe to what
appears intimidating.
As farming methods must keep
pace with change so must the United
Church .of Canada, he said. People
need to move forward with optimism
and hope knowing the future will be
good because God will be there to
guide them. God encourages His
people to enter the new land of
change without fear.
Following are a number of events
for information — church life at
Londesboro United. If you need
more info about any of these events,
contact a member who would be
involved.
The sacrament of baptism will be
celebrated next Sunday, May 13.

On Monday, April 23, Dorothy
Govier peacefully gaye up her strug
gle with ALS or Lou Gehrig's
Disease, her husband Murray at her
bedside. She had been coping coura-
geously with decreasing mobility for
many months before finally being
diagnosed less than a year ago. This
debilitating disease had kept her hos-
pitalized for many weeks before her
passing.
Murray and Dorothy had been
together for 26 years and began their
marriage in Edmonton. "They
returned to Blyth from the west
because Dorothy wanted to be near
the junior choir.
Sunday, May 20, has been chosen'
as a service of remembering or mem-
ories.
There will be pie making on May
10 in preparation for the UCW bake
sale to be held in conjunction with
the church yard sale on May 19.
her ailing mother. Some 19 years ago
they moved to Londesboro having
purchased the home of Wayne
McClinchey.
Dorothy was always busy.
Certainly keeping in touch with the
lives of five children, four stepchil-
dren, 14 grandchildren and two
great-grandchildren must have kept
both Dorothy and Murray involved.
In the days before her illness
restricted her activities Dorothy had
been a member of a clogging group
and she enjoyed the yard vtork
around her home.
She and Murray were motorcy-
clists and each fall they took their
small trailer north for a fishing holi-
day. Car racing fans also they attend-
ed races in Oshwego, N.Y. every
summer.
Although in many ways a private
woman, Dorothy was always cheery
and welcoming when folks dropped
in no matter what she was working at
or how she was feeling.
Dorothy will be remembered also
for her sewing ability. A skilled
seamstress she has been employed at
Bainton's in Blyth. Her children
remember the hours she spent
sewing for them. Over the years
folks from the area have found their
way to her door to have jackets
relined, zippers replaced, etc. and
many of us own one of Dorothy's
unique stuffed animals.
In the past several months Dorothy
many times remarked about what a
great help Murray was to her.
Murray claims it was Dorothy's
strength that kept him going. Family
members say that tvas typical of the
special relationship the two of them
shared.
