Laughter, topic at Duff’s
Outrageous people wearing
hats greeted or was it out
rageous hats were worn by
greeters Helen, Graeme and
Michael Craig Sunday, March
5 at Duff's United Church.
The choir loft contained some
pretty outrageous hats as
well.
Margaret Hern welcomed
everyone and gave the call to
Worship. The opening hymn
was called, Give to Us
Laughter.
She called the young wor
shippers forward and read to
them from a book filled with
Phone 887-6156
prayers from young children.
She then had the children,
young and old, sing If you're
Happy and You Know It.
Two skits were acted out by
Monique Baan and Barb
Durrell. Being Serious and A
Simple Question were con
versations of Peter and Jesus.
They were quite humorous,
yet packed a great message.
Her meditation was called,
Give to us Laughter.
There will be a St. Patrick’s
Day luncheon at the Walton
Hall March 15. Ham and scal
loped potatoes will be served.
If anyone is interested in
learning some dance steps
such as the fox trot, swing,
cha-cha or various waltzes
then call Shari McCall. The
lessons begin Wednesday,
March 8 in the Walton Hall.
How do we know spring is
close? Well people have
reported seeing robins and for
the Craigs, two Canadian
Geese flew over their house,
honking their arrival and flew
back to the ponds behind their
house. Graeme wonders if
they’re not the same couple
have shown up these past
years as they always do the
same thing. It’s like they are
saying, ‘We’re back!’
Matt Lee bought some pea
cocks, five to be exact. He
decided to go on a little trip
far away. He left these birds in
the care of his parents Judy
and Chris. They took excel
lent care of the birds. Then
one night someone did a das
tardly deed ... the doors to
their pen was opened and the
Walton principal recovers
Walton Public School
Principal Alice McDowell
was back at the school for a
few minutes to take care of
some business. She would
like to thank the school and
the community for all the
flowers and food and goodies
she received during her ill
ness.
She misses everyone very
much and hopes to slowly get
back into the swing of things
after March Break.
Well the kindergartens
decided that the weather man
was completely wrong in his
weather report on March 1.
According to the kinder
gartens March came in like a
lion. Every year the kinder
gartens have been charting
just how March comes in. It is
their belief that March will go
birds did flee.
I’m sure that Judy and Chris
have opened up the book on
‘How to Catch Things’ and
nowhere was there an entry on
how to catch a peacock.
So I think that we should
out like a lamb.
They have been studying
the letter L and they sang L
songs like - Lobbie Loo,
London Bridge, and The
Little Red Wagon Painted
Blue.
The students-made edible
lions made out of peanut but
ter covered cookies decorated
with chow mein noodles for
the mane and M & Ms for
features.
The Grade 3s are writing
about underwater
treasure/pirate adven-tures.
They are also busy reading
Sunken Treasure.
In phys. ed. they are doing
gymnastics. They are learning
to do front/back
ances and tripods.
The Grade 4s
reading Charlie
are busy
and the
declare this ‘help your neigh
bour’ week and aid these peo
ple in catching their peacocks,
especially since Matt will be
coming home in a week or so.
If you have any wise ideas
call the Lees
Chocolate Factory. They
have finished their 3/4 social
studies projects. They had to
report on different communi
ties across Canada. They
learned about the Inuit com
munities, farming and fishing
in P.E.I., B.C. and Nova
Scotia and farming in differ
ent communities across
Canada.
Mrs. Haney introduced the
children classical to music.
They liked Bach the best.
They recognized some of the
songs, such as Canon in
and Trumpet Voluntary,
songs they have heard
church and weddings.
The school said goodbye to
Sherry Lee Wemham and
Dakota Penhorwood. They
will be missed and we wish
them all the best.

Success story #0081
Sports Club to share costs
“We had good control - the best control I’ve
had for a number of years. VIPER* controlled
pretty well everything. Lamb’s quarters,

It was excellent on ragweed.”

money? Will someone in the
community?”
After it was agreed there
was no point in looking fur
ther at the lot purchase,
McDonald said the board
could handle the $3,500 for
the parking lot and that it
would be advantageous for
everyone.
When asked if the Walton
Sports Club could share the
costs of the transfer, Lee said
there had already been an
offer to do so.
McDonald, also a member
of the Sports Club, said they
had agreed to pay one-third of
the costs or around $1,000,
but she would go back to
them about paying half. “I
don’t think there will be any
problem for us to get this paid
for. However, we will have to
work to raise money.”
A motion was passed to
accept the Humphrieses’ offer
from last summer for the
board to assume the cost of
the transfer of ownership,
estimated at $3,500.
Lee had already spoken to a
lawyer about working on the
transfer and it will be com
pleted with no fee as there is
no rush on the process.
Lee. will speak to the
Humphrieses regarding a
time line for finalization of
the transfer.
In other business, the hall
board approved an increase in
rental fees to $35 for each of
the upper and lower floors
plus a $20 cleaning fee which
is returnable.
Bookings were up over the
previous year and there are 19
scheduled for 2000.
Lee said he hoped Walton
Hall would be able to pick up
some of the meetings and
seminars previously held at
the OMAFRA office in
Clinton..
