Ryans had anniversary at hall
Rose and Joe Ryan celebrated
their 25th wedding anniversary in
the Walton Hall in 1962. The music
was by Lorne and Pearl Mueller,
Orchestra of Logan Twp. Rose
reeills all the good times held in
the hall. There were euchre games,
showers, meetings and anniversary
receptions. She remembers many a
time that she helped out with plays
and concerts etc. she was a member
of the Walton WI and said that all
the meetings were held there. She
wishes the community good luck in
trying to keep the hall going.
Also, while we are the topic of
the Hall, I have learned that two
other women used to play in the
Kirkby band; Hilda Sellers and
Grace Brown.
The old hall carne to life on Fri-
day night as around 100 people
came to dance to the old tunes.
Doug Fraser tried to teach this
writer how to do the French Minuet
(I need a few more lessons). There
was some square dancing and line
dancing and all kinds of waltzes,
one of them being the famous
Walton H. Hackwell Waltz. Allan
Searle, Michael Dietz, R.D. Argyle,
Harold McNaughton and Don
McNall were all door -prize winners.
There will be another dance on
March 17.
The numbers were down this year
at the Walton Poker Rally but the

group of organizers were pleased
with the turnout and thankful to all
those people who donated the
prizes. There were 250 poker hands
sold. The winner this year was
Gordon Jenkins of Aubum, second
was Don Nolan and third went to
Chad McCallum.
Roy and Kathleen Williamson
went to the home of Doris and Neil
Williamson to help them celebrate
their 25th wedding Anniversary on
Feb. 19.

contest in Clinton. This year again
there were no entries in the High
School level. This is , a shame as
apart from the experience of public
speaking there arc cash awards at
all three levels: Branch, Zone and
District and even a Provincial level
where the cash is very substantial.
Duck. Race tickets are now on
sale at the Branch and from mem-
bers of the Legion get yours soon.
The Executive respectfully asks
our members and guest of the
Branch to please not use the Handi-

in the winter. Also please do not
park in the no parking zone at the
side of the Branch building.

held in Lucknow on Sunday, Feb.
26. If you are going to attend
please contact John Lansink so
