FROM BLYTH
Legion
makes
donations
By Mary Lou Stewart
The general meeting of the Royal
Canadian Legion Branch 420 was
held Tuesday, Sept. 3 at 7:30 p.m.
Donations passed by motions
were made to the Legion Child
Video program, 1st Blyth Scouting
Group and the MidWestern Adult
Day Care Centre in Clinton,
President Thelma Johnston
thanked the Legion members for
their support during the summer
activities and expressed hope that
the same support would be given to
upcoming events. They helped with
the Ladies Auxiliary meals at the
Thresher Reunion. Zone C-1
Convention was in Exeter Sept. 8.
the rededication services of the
cenotaph in Mitchell is Sept. 14 at 1
p.m. and the visit to Parkwood
Hospital vets is Sept. 28. The bus
leaves Blyth at approximately 9:20
a.m. from the Legion. Contact
Comrade Thelma Johnston.
Members are advised that the
2003 dues are due. The cost is $35
until Nov. 30 and $38 after that date.
The week of Sept. 15 - 21 has
been marked to celebrate Legion
Week. This occasion provides an
opportunity to recognize the
contribution to Legion and
Auxiliary members in promoting the
interest of men and women who
have served the country. It is a time
to reflect on the past and look
forward to the future.
No time is better than now, after
being involved with other service
groups and organizations to have
had a successful 125th celebration,
Threshermen's Reunion and the
rejuvenation of the community
centre.
The next•meeting will be held Oct.
1 at 7:30 p.m.
We have two winners to report this
week for the 125th draw. Robert
Nesbitt from Windsor was the Aug.
30 winner and Larry Bailey was the
Sept. 6 winner.
Don't forget the grand opening,
barbecue and auction for the Blyth
and district arena on Sept. 21.
Dinner entertainment will be Ted
Johns.
Blyth had thousands of visitors to
the 41st Annual Huron Pioneer
Thresher Reunion weekend. As
usual the weatherman co-operated
with very hot and sunny days. It was
the first look at our new arena and it
took some training to find your way
around, with new doors and old
doors closed. All in all everyone
had a good time. All events were
well attended including the
firefighter's breakfast.
Greeting at the Blyth United
Church was Irma Mason. Guest
musician was Margaret Kai.
Dane Corneil favoured the
congregation with a medley of
Amazing Grace and Free Grace, and
Go Down, Moses.
Rev. Eugen Bannerman's sermon
was on The Farmer's Creed. A quote
from The Farmer's Creed (written
for the New Holland farm
machinery company in 1975) was 'I
believe a person's greatest
possession is his dignity and that no
calling bestows this more
abundantly than farming.' A century
ago 85 per cent of Canadians coast
to coast lived on farms. Now only
one per cent of Canadians live on
farms, with the exception of Huron
County. Here 85 per cent of the
population continues to live on or is
directly dependent on the farms.
• Farming has never been easy and
it requires a strong physical and
mental constitution, but it is
essential to any country.
He concluded his sermon with
The Farmer's Prayer.
Doug and wife B.J. McCrea from
St. Thomas visited with mom and
dad, Amy and Ralph. All attended
the 25th wedding anniversary party
of Maureen and Brad Montgomery
in Wingham at the Legion Hall on
Saturday evening.
Results from Blyth Lawn Bowling
Monday, Sept. 2 were: two game
winners, Jim Wilson and Lawrence
Plaetzer.
Man
overcome
by
carbon
monoxide
The Blyth Fire Department \\
called to Hubbard's rutabaga plant
early Monday morning to attend a
man suffering Inn» ea rbon
monoxide poisoning.'
Fire Chief Paul Josling said an
employee arrived at the plant around
5 a.m. to find that a truck had been
left running, apparently for a
considerable amount of time as the
plant was filled with the gas.
At 6:30 a.m., the man crawled
from the plant, taking a phone with
him to call relatives for help.
He was transported to hospital for
treatment.
There's a better
way to move that
old furniture...
