We spent part of last week tenting with very few other campers — pretty nice, a private party with the elk, beavers, black flies, bunnies, birds and did I mention black flies? Change and growth are part of life but sometimes it takes a bit of thought to get past the good old days, Something as simple as a missing tree makes the mind go to years past. The missing blue spruce in the north end of the village got chats going about Dunc McDonald and Verna and Ruth Huepfer and the several other owners of the house- good memories of good folk. Then the orchard was transformed this week. Alice Brothers can recall over 80 years of apple trees on that land with names like Thompson, McLaughlin, Stratychuk, Cardiff and lastly Gunthardt — all giving us good apples, cider and honey as well as the service and friendship that comes from folks looking after the needs of their community. The United Church workers are relaxing have a very successful congregational dinner on Sunday at the BMG Centre. The weather was conducive to leisurely visits with friends before and after the bountiful buffet prepared by the church members. Meat, potatoes and pie still can draw a crowd. The piano students of Emily Cousins did their parents proud as they had their recital on Sunday afternoon in the United Church. Their lessons of the last year were played to near perfection. Congratulations to Warren Wray. His ceremony of celebration was held in Waterloo on Saturday as we received his Bachelor of Arts from the university there. Way to go Warren. We knew you could do it.

They have a catered wedding at the end of the month and extra help is always appreciated. Branch members are also needed to help. Call Helen Dobson or Mabel Willis to find out times to help. Comrade Goui Workman and Comrade Doreen Rutledge are both patients in Seaforth hospital and our thoughts are with them. It's been a busy week for some at the Branch with last minute phone calls for donations, setting tables, arranging items, making vouchers and certificates, to help make a successful auction. Friday night had quite a few in to view and make bids. Saturday was slow to start but by mid-afternoon had picked up. The live auction held at 3:30 p.m. was superbly done by auctioneer Kevin McArter. The mad last minute scramble before 4:30 p.m. to make bids ended the day on 'a high note. There was such a wide variety of items and everything was greatly appreciated. The Friday night supper of hamburg casserole was enjoyed by a good crowd and this week is turkey. The Saturday afternoon euchre had 12 tables of avid players. The lucky couple to be winners were Lloyd and Lillian Appleby with 82 points. Coming in second place were Ed Stewart and Glen Sellers with 75 points. The third place team were partners Eileen Mann and Mac Smith with 70 points. The lucky lone hand winners were Isabelle Gray and Neil. Hatt. Euchre is held every two weeks. The Sunday night singles dance crowd enjoyed the music of The Westernaires. Even though it was pretty warm, over 90 crowded the dance floor to the lively music. Remember to save those pop tabs.
