Mystery neighbour guessed
Walton
In case you haven't guessed, the
`Mystery Neighbour' is Christina
(McCallum) Achilles, also known
as 'Tennie'. She was born in 1905
and married Rolly in 1936. The
first person to identify Tennie was
Isobelle Shortreed who used to be
her neighbour. Then Elva Wilbee
and Alvin McDonald were the next
people to guess correctly. Alvin
also told me that his mom used to
be Tennie's school teacher. I hope
you have learned a bit more about
your neighbour. I certainly have.
This time your mystery neighbour
is somewhat younger. He's between
5 and 15 years old. This young man
was born in Wingham Hospital
weighing in at 6 lbs, 13 oz. People
said he looked just like his dad. At
the dear age of two this youngster
knew that garage work (mechanics)
was for him. In fact he used to sit
and watch Dick Marks work in his
garage. Why, one day while mom
was sleeping the youngster sneaked
out and headed to Dick's garage,
PJ's and all. Dick returned the
child, who happened to be covered
in mud, to his mother.
Braving cold winds and the threat
of snow five youths and two adults
went out Saturday morning to Mr.
and Mrs. Vincent of Londsboro to
rake their yard. Patty Banks and Pat

Gillis worked along side Trevor and
Shannon Gibbons, Tanner Banks,
Michelle Kuntz and Craig Gillis.
This was their talent that Mary Lou
Vincent bought at the Talent auc-
tion on April 4. The team will go
back later on in May and plant
Petunias.
Alvin and Vera McDonald greeted
worshippers at Duff's United
Church April 17. Rev. Banks wel-
comed everyone and then informed
them that Rev. Charles Swan will
be here April 18 to promote his
book, `No Turning Back Now.'
Robbie McClure started off the
service by lighting the Christ
Candle. The choir sang Amen (3
part vocal). Kathleen Williamson
read the `Minutes for Mission' and
it was called, 'A Ministry of Love.'
Next Sunday the A.C.W.W. will
take part in the service and will
also serve lunch after church. The
Walton United Church Women
(U.C.W.) have been invited to
attend the Northside Spring
Thankoffering on April 25 at 8 p.m.
Linda Steinacker from Stratford will
be the guest speaker and will show
slides taken while in the
Philippines. Phyllis Mitchell, Olene
Dennis and Edith Wey attended the
London Conference UCW in
Stratford April 11 and 12. The
conference was called Living our
Vision. Betty Jane Wylie was the
guest speaker and one of her
sessions was called, 'If you were
arrested on suspicion of being a
Christian, would there be enough
evidence to convict you?' A high-
light for many of the women was
the musical hour with Harpist
Eduard Klassen who was accom-
panied on the keyboard by his wife,
Christine.
Another point of interest was the
reports were all presented as skits.
A fun way to get business taken
care of. Phyllis said the food was
wonderful and there were between
300 and 400 women there from all
over western Ontario. Phyllis also
attended the Huron Tourism Assoc.
5th Annual event and Brochure
Swap in Grand Bend April 14.
The next Neighbourly Coffee
hour will be April 21 at 9:15.
Everyone is welcome to come and

This session is titled, 'Alternatives
to Punishment.'
