There were more local men away
hunting recently. Heading to the
Dryden area were Mike Boven.
Lome Strickler and Clayton
Riley. They were very successful
in getting four moose and a
bear.
Our sympathies are extended to
the family of John Cronyn who
passed away last week.
We hope Malinda Johnston is
feeling better after being in the
hospital.
Returning from a trip to Nova
Scotia was Joan Perrie. She was
attending a ukulele ceilidh in
Liverpool on the south shore of
N.S. She enjoyed meeting other
ukulele enthusiasts from all across
Canada. England and Boulder.
Colorado.
It was a three-day party filled
with learning, music, jam sessions
and fun. that Joan describes as
fabulous.
She had a great time with Doris
McKinley (Leona Armstrong’s
sister) and stayed with her at Truro.
White driving from Liverpool to
Truro, they drove through
Lunenberg, where they could see
the Blue Nose in dock and
surrounded by scaffold.
The town of Mahon Bay was
celebrating scarecrow weekend
and the whole town was
wonderfully decorated with
scarecrows everywhere.
The weather was rather dreary
with rain all the time, so Joan
reports no great pictures. She
thoroughly enjoyed seafood
chowder time and time again and
recommends to everyone to enjoy
the tastes of the east coast.
The Walton Women’s Institute
met at the home of Ruth Axtmann.
There were eight members present
to enjoy the presentation by Neil
and Marie McGavin on agriculture
in Africa.
A donation will be made to
the Brussels Legion Poppy
Fund.
Lunch was served by
Ruth Axtmann and Marion God
kin.
We welcome new folks to Marie
Coutts’s former home. Brad,
Crystal and son Gavin Ditner have-
moved in. They are formerly of
Clinton.
Away to celebrate Anne Ryan’s
birthday on Monday were the
birthday girl, Mary Humphries,
Audrey Hackwell, Marie Coutts
and Marilyn McDonald. They
enjoyed lunch at Anna Mae’s.
Unfortunately, Wilma the
Hurricane put the damper on travel
plans for Chris and Judy Lee.
Their trip to Cancun, Mexico
was cancelled due to the bad
weather.
The farmers are hard at it and the
fields of corn are being cleaned off
quite rapidly with the good
weather.
Next week is deer hunting so the
hunters will also be happy with the
open spaces. Everyone be aware of
deer near roads and have a safe
week.
Celebrating birthdays last week
were Harry Gillis, Ron McCallum.
Bryan Kelso. Janis McCallum.
Brett Lee. Lois McCall. Tanner
Leslie. Teresa Baan. Dan Taylor.
Erma Williamson, and Murray
I )cnnis.
Congrats to all.
Spreading it on
It was another delicious way to start the morning thanks to
the Blyth Legion and Auxiliary this past Sunday with
breakfast at Memorial Hall. Dawson Tugwell adds a sweet
topping to his toast. (Vicky Bremner photo)

Stars
study
letters
at WLS
The Walton Little School classes
have been learning a variety of
things during the month of October.
The Acorn class has been
focusing on bugs, creepy crawlers,
monsters. pumpkins and
Halloween. They have made paper
bag pumpkins, Halloween collages
and pumpkin stamps. They have
learned number and word
recognition and are looking forward
to celebrating Halloween.
The Stars picked a new letter to
study each week in October. They
have focused on “a”, “b”. “c” and
soon “d”.
They have also learned sign
language for each of their letters.
They have been busy making apple
stamps, beautiful butterflies,
colourful collages and paint
dabbing. They have been busy
learning the sounds of letters, how
to print and words that begin with
each letter.
The children are excited about the
new Stars in their class.
The Butterfly class spent the first
weeks of October discovering signs
of fall and celebrating Halloween.
Activities have included corn cob
painting, leaf collages, singing
about pumpkins and dressing up in
costumes.
While putting costumes on and
off, the children have learned many
valuable self-help skills such as
zipping zippers and buttoning
buttons. They can’t wait until Oct.
31.
