Mr. Lyon and his daughter Deanna donated the picture to Walton Public School. OURTESY NORTH HURON CTITZEN TEACHER REMEMBERED - Barb Elston taught at Walton Public School from 1980 until her death. Her husband, Keith, accepts picture which he donated back to the school. Walton school has busy week Why sch' main ' 3t the .i le Wednesu,,, ,unity Fun night was held. It began with hot dogs and refreshments. Jim Crocker, Helen's husband said that he cooked up 30 pounds of weiners. People then gathered in the library where Marion Doucette, using her puppets told the children some stories and poems. Then Paul Carroll talked about the Canada -Cuba Friendshiptnent project which money that was made that night would go towards. Supporters of the project trying to raise money to buy. a bus that will be sent to Cuba filled with donated school supplies. It will go to Havana and its main purpose is to drive children to and from the hospitals. Following Mr. Carroll's speech pictures of Barb Elston and Shirley Lyon were presented to the families and the families in turn dedicated the pictures back to the school to be hung in the main entrance. Then the fun began. For five cents you could ride the ponies, throw spaghetti, have your face painted (I saw everything from a snake to a bird on faces), throw some basketballs, lawn bowl or have your fortune told by the lovely and well - endowed I might add (Dolly Parton, eat your heart out) Madam Rosa. Children lined up for an hour to get a chance to hear the accented voice (it sounded something close to Italian and Texan combined) read their elbows and their fingernails and the Slap Jack cards that they drew. The woman was very pleased to find somany wonderful children in the arca. She read in each child something very positive about themselves and that they all had such wonderful, caring hearts. Yes she knew everything about them. Remember, only 'Madam Rosa' and the 'Shadow' knows! Friday was fun day for the kindergarten children as they had their Teddy Bear picnic. Each child and their guest brought their favorite teddy and had lunch under the tree on the playground. Ms. Jewitt had each child introduce their • teddies. Her teddy's name was Rupert and she loved him because he gave wonderful hugs. PHOTO COURTESY NORTH HURON CITIZEN EXPRESSIVE - Marian Doucette was storytelling at the carnival in Walton Public School last week to the delight of students.

CARDS OF THANKS s. i FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Thank you to everyone who supported our Father's Day Breakfast on June 18 at First Presbyterian Church. We would also like to thank the Brucefleld Fire Dept., Canadian Tire, The Huron Ice Co. Inc., and the Board of Managers for donations towards our breakfast. We hope to see you at our Yard, Bake and Treasure Sale on Saturday, June 24 from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. 47-25x1 1, TIM CUMMING PHOTO COURTESY STRATFORD AND DISTRICT REMEMBERS REMEMBERING WORLD WAR 11 - Seventeen -year-old army cadet Glen Anderson (at right), of Seaforth, marched in remembrance as part of the Stratford and District Remem- bers World War 1I event held on the weekend in Stratford. Walton extends sympathy Sadie McDonald, a woman who lived to be 100 years old, died this past week and our condolences go to her family. We also in this community and surrounding arca express our sympathies to Marie McGavin and family. Her fathcr, Carl Johnston of Bluevale, died June 15. Congratulations to Jo -Ann and Rick McDonald who celebrated their 18th year of marriage on June 18. Gloria Wilbee greeted at Duff's United outdoor service June 18. One couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Gloria and Keith brought their electric piano and although the wind blew the pages around Glenda Carter managed very well playing the hymns. Rev. Randy Banks reminded everyone about the Country Supper next Sunday. Rev. Banks called up the children and told them that he Walton by Patty Banks 887-6860 could not find the word 'smile' anywhere in the bible. He told them how important smiling was and that it doesn't cost anything. After the children's story the kids stood up front and sang 'The Butterfly song'. Gloria Wilbee accompanied them on her guitar. Rev. Banks' sermon was called, 'Groaning in Travail.' After the service while the hot dogs and hamburgers were being cooked the kids went to the back yard to play games. They started with some sack races and then did some three- legged races. This was a first for many of the kids and it got really good when they teamed up with adults. Then came the water -balloon toss, a must for any hot day. Doug Fraser and Rick Holes were the winners of this game. Graeme and Michael Craig were a close second but Michael discovered that his dad isn't very good at catching water balloons. In fact each partner discovered this about the other as there were broken balloons all over the place. Then there seemed to be water coming from everywhere as the kids discovered the water in the little swimming pool. Thank heavens the food was ready or there would have been a lot of drenched kids and adults. The picnic ended with a tug-of-war. My side won with out much of a struggle and we hope that the other team will give us more of a challenge next year. Some say that we won because we had a little more weight but I am convinced that it was sheer skill on our part. Officers installed at Legion At the Ladies' Auxiliary meeting last week the remain- ing officers who had been unable to attend the installation were installed.
