Procter plays inspiring music at Knox FROM BELGRAVE Community prepares for annual fowl supper Fall is here again and with it comes our 53rd annual fall fowl supper. For all newcomers to the commu- nity and also to remind those who have helped for years, here is a brief history of this annual event started in 1949. Each year over 1,000 people sit down together at one time over a traditional hot turkey supper with the whole community contributing time and food to make this supper a huge success. Last year was another great year, realizing a profit of $6,300. The proceeds go to the operating costs of the Belgrave Community Centre, arena and park and sponsor minor sports program throughout the year. Without the fowl supper these areas might cease. Tickets are available at local stares. Please help when the com- munity calls on you. Elizabeth Procter played inspiring music as the congregation tiled in 4t Knox United Church on Sunday, Sept. 16.

On Tuesday, Sept. 1 I people had different; feelings of anger, fear, grief, and hope, she said. "God is with us always so we all need to hope that we will have a better world." .
