"You're Out!" was just one of the shouts echoing through the village during the annual Angels Co-ed charity ball tournament held last weekend. Eight teams participated during the Friday and Saturday event under perfect weather conditions. During the 1970s playground equipment was installed behind the screen at home plate to entertain children attending ball games with spectators. Over the intervening years standards around this type of equipment have changed immensely. Under today's standards, the present playground equipment at the diamond fall short of adequate. Proceeds from this year's tournament, $1,161 will be donated to the purchase of new equipment. The new equipment has a roof overhead to further ensure the safety of children. Thanks is extended to Adrian Salverda and the Angels team for organizing this year's tournament. Generously, the participating teams donated their winnings to the fund for equipment. The Municipality of Central Huron donated ball diamond time and made a previous monetary donation. Brad Greidanus donated his groundskeeping for the tournament. And who could forget the two young girls, Corey Pollard and Jasmine deBoer, who sold all those raffle tickets. In conjunction with the Londesborough Lions Club, application has been made for a Trillium grant. Anyone wishing to donate the fund can contact Doug and Karen Dolmage. Hopefully we can keep you updated on the fund and the project. Lost then found, sermon theme Being Lost - Then Found was the theme of the morning service• at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, Sept. 12. During the children's time, Rev. Pat Cook asked about the feelings they might experience if they lost a pet. That sadness would change to joy if the pet were found and returned to their home. In the gospel reading, Luke 15: I - 10, Jesus tells the parable of the lost sheep and the lost coin. God rejoices over the return of a sinner - lost soul - just the way the shepherd rejoiced over finding his sheep, the woman was happy to find' her coin and a family would be pleased •to have a pet returned. In Exodus 32: 7-14 God tells Moses on the mountain how unhappy he was with the behaviour of the Israelites in the desert. Moses interceded on their behalf and asked God not to give up on the tribe He had brought out of Egypt. Psalm 14 speaks of the folly of the foolish and lost to God. For God two groups of people are lost. There are those like the Pharisees who seem religious and pious but miss the true meaning of God's word. The other group have yet to hear of God's love and caring. His rejoicing comes when a Continued on page 18 FROM LONDESBORO 10 tables at party There were 16 tables of card players at the Londesborough Community Hall on Friday evening, Sept. 10 sponsored by the Londesborough Happy Gang Seniors Club. Dorothy Carter and Delores Howatt took first prize with a tally of 81 points. There was a tie of 77 points for second and third • place between couples Ray and Shirley Gilders and Ethel Walker and Lorna Ellis. Lois Foster and Marg Carter played successfully the most lone hands of seven. Share-the-wealth winners were Reta Flynn, Mrs. Chamney and Mr. Chamney. The next euchre party is slated for Oct. 8. Not everyone was in a position as I was last Saturday, Sept. 4 to hear the music as I worked outside. However if you travelled south out of the village that afternoon you may have noticed the pots of flowers at the driveway or the cars lining the highway at the home of Roman and Vicki Stepan. It was a perfect day for an open air wedding. Tatiana Stepan and Cliff Ball were united in marriage on her parents' lawn. Matron of honour was Tatiana's older sister, Maria and her younger sister, Lora was bridesmaid. Presiding over the marriage were Pastor Shane Finch of the Goderich Pentecostal Church and Pastor McLean, formerly of Goderich and now of Guelph. Pastor Shane was soloist as well. The . couple went to Florida for a honeymoon and will reside in London where Tatiana is a paramedic and Cliff a London hospital employee. Congratulations and best wishes, Cliff and Tatiana, from the village of Londesborough. Another outdoor wedding of interest to villagers also was blessed with wonderful weather. Jeannette Johnston and Alvin Zacharjewicz exchanged marriage vows at the Station Beach gazebo in Kincardine on Friday, Sept. 3. Jeanette is the daughter of Frank and Dorothy Johnston of Londesborough. Alvin's mother, Lenore. lives in Lively. Ontario. Jacqueline Hoy of Wingham was matron of honour to her twin sister. Stacey O'Neill, Jeannette's daughter, also attended her mom. Allan Akerman of Lively was the best man. Rev. Chris Morgan officiated. A wedding dinner and reception were held at the GOvernor's Inn in Kincardine. The couple live in Kincardine.

How reassuring it is to once again hear the school bells ringing and the children playing at recess. With so many strange things happening in our world I took great comfort last week knowing the cycle of school days brings some sort of stability and hope for the future at least in our little part of God's garden. Watching over the children from the village as they travel to and from classes each day at the corner of Londesborough Road and London Road is new crossing guard, Dorothy Johnston. Recognizing that Gloria McKay would no longer be helping the children at that corner, Dorothy applied to the Municipality of Central Huron for the position. Those of us who know Dorothy recognize she will be each child's guardian angel. Thanks, Dorothy, for taking on a job which will undoubtedly experience some nasty weather from time to time. The flurry that accompanies the start of a new school year is setting down and the final count of students has been tallied at 176. Comforting for the children again this year is the fact that teacher changes are minimal. Lois Tebbutt, principal, and Melonie Miller, secreta-y have returned to Hullett. Replacing Mrs. Black in kindergarten A is Janice Ryan who moved from Grade 1. Audrey Kemp continues in kindergarten B. Susan Wyatt divides her time between Grade 1 and music studies. The only new face in Hullett's halls is Christa Walden who teaches Grade 1 in the afternoons. Other teachers on the junior wing are Nancy Pickell in Grade 3/4 and Joan Vandendool in Grade 2/3. . Craig Caldwell is on the -senior wing with Grade 4/5. Grade 6/7 is taught by Julie Gilroy while Dennis Drennan continues to instruct Grade 7/8. Special education is managed by Marie Webster and Lucie Turcotte-Lapaine teaches French. Presently Tamara Crocker is the school's educational assistant. Extra activities begin on Thursday, Sept. 16 with the school's second Terry Fox Run sponsored -by the parent advisory council. The event starts with a short assembly to teach about Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope. Then the students will run a marked course around the school yard.
