Local firefighters will be on hand with their new fire safety trailer and the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority will be providing a display on groundwater protection among other activities. By Betty Graben Watson Call 887-6236 887-9231 Ah now we're having the golden days of September. I would not be a happy person if the changing of the seasons was not one of the gauges of my life. To miss all the expectation of what the day will unfold and even more, what can be expected in a month or at least in a season just seems to add joy -to the change. As we come into that feeling of autumn, it's a last chance to her It won't all be work however, as several games and activities have been scheduled to keep everyone interested and involved. The always popular children's tractor pull will be back and for those who like to be whirled, twirled and bounced the appreciate the flowers, especially the ones others tend for our enjoyment. The boxes and baskets on Turnberry have been a sight to savour all summer. These bits of joy show the co-operation that just happens to take place in a rural communities like ours. The appearance of our village is better because the horticultural folks make their effort to select good hanging plants. The baskets alongside the boxes, that individuals keep pretty, are all healthy specimens that make any walk more pleasant. Like any project the beginning is the easy part; it's the maintenance and completion of the job that takes the talent. So to the water and fertilizer gang thank you, thank you, thank you. It's much like your job of moving snow. You do it so well and so graciously that most of the time the rest of us forget that it is being done, time after time after time. So for the ever beautiful blooms we send our appreciation. There were lots of good stories to be heard about the first days of school — new teachers, new places and new friends.

You each probably have some good memories of your time in Sunday school so now it's your turn to help a child make their own. As the proportion of folks who attend services declines, the compassion and care for others in community declines as well. Lots of folks say they belong to church but less than a quarter of the population gives the church regular time and support. United efforts for community concerns is one of the roles of the church.
