Receive free postal service
We are the only club in
Canada who has personal
courier service to Texas. Our
twin club is located about 100
miles outside of Fort Worth
in a city named
Weathhead. Two local
residents, delivering a boat
for the Hughes Columbia
Boat Works, were contacted
by our secretary who know
the location of a boat drop
off, and found that it was
very close to our twin club,
so he asked the driver to take
the mail with him.
The fellows visited the
home of Leon and Jean
Christian (publicity
chairman and wife) only to
find that they were away at
an Optimist function. Their
neighbour, who was outside
doing her gardening in 75
degree weather, was pleased
to deliver our mail for us.
Sixteen hundred miles of
free postal service, and
nothing was lost.
Speaking of boats, last
week two gentlemen
(lunatics) and a three year
old set off in a 14 foot Lazer
sailboat across farm land
and runways on a snow
sailing journey. Frustrated
by the lack of open water in
the region these yachtsmen
launched their craft on dry
land much to the surprise of
the locals. Under full sail
they travelled across the
snow most of the time right
side up supported by
previous snow falls and
aided by the large main sail
and a gentle southerly
breeze.
Jenny Fick, the navigator,
found the experience very
exciting despite being tipped
out of the boat due to a
certain lack of control by the
captain of the vessel. The
two gentlemen who let this
young lady navigate the
craft on her own (after they
fell overboard) should be
reported to the local
authorities after they
recover from their wounds.
All in all the venture proved
very rewarding and good
training for the summer just
ahead.
Everyone seems to have
been travelling. The atom
team was in Hensall, the pee-
wees in Ripley and the girls
team was in Belmore. The
atoms lost out in their
playoff bid to a determined
Hensall team by a 2-1
margin. They tried their best
and had a lot of fun doing it.
Good effort kids.
The girls won their first
game of the tournament by
beating Drayton 4-0 on a four
goal effort by Yvonne Wells.

Granton 4-H girls elect;
Foresters plan reunion
By MRS. E. SUMMERS
GRANTON
The third meeting of the
Granton 4-H Club taking the
course "Which came first
the chicken or the egg?" was
held atthe home of Mrs. Eric
Chovancek, assistant
leader.
Roll call was answered by,
when placing eggs in a
carton, which end goes
down? After a debate on a
name for the club, the
members decided to call
themselves, "The Fancy
Fryers". There was a
discussion on eggs, such as
grading for size, how to tell
stale eggs, at what tem-
peratures to cook eggs and
where to look for the "Best
before date" on the carton.
While this discussion was
going on, Margaret
McGuffin was busy
preparing the Quiche for a
snack, and while it was
cooking, the girls made
plans to have a party. on
March 21 and invite their
mothers.
Youth groups meet
The Granton and Com-
munity Youth Group met at
the home of Mr. & Mrs. Paul
Wallis on February 22. A
film on "Adolescence" was
shown, and a discussion
followed. The next meeting
will take the form of a
bowling party.
Scouts, Cubs and Beavers
These groups are all very
busy making plans for a
Spring Variety Show. They
will be joined this year by the
C.G.I.T. and Explorers.
The Happy Gang
The members of the
"Happy Gang" met at the
United Church on February
25. Mrs. Clayton Langford
presided and opened the
meeting with a "Sing -along"
led by Mrs. Elmer Summers,
with Mrs. Chas. Gowan at
the piano. This was followed
by two readings by Mrs.
Langford.
The remainder of the
afternoon was spent in the
enjoyment of euchre and
crokinole. There were no
members with birthdays in
February so no names were
on the cake.
Lady Foresters meet
The members of Court
Valentine Canadian
Foresters met at the
Mason's Hall on February
23. Sister Jean McComb
presided and opened the
Court. There were many
items of business to be
discussed, as the last
meeting was cancelled
because of bad weather
conditions.
Plans were discussed for
the Court's 25th anniversary
which will be celebrated with
a reunion of all former
members on April 4. As
February is really the month
of the Founding of Court
Valentine,but the weather
then is so unpredictable, it
was decided to hold the
festivities in April.
At the conclusion of the
meeting those ,present en-
joyed an birthday cake for
lunch. The attendance draw
for a Forester coffee spoon
was won by Sister Eileen
Summers and the number
draw went to sister
Margery Morley.
C G.I.T. news
The Granton C.G.I.T. met
at the United Church on
February 25. Shanon
Fiedorec and Jennie
Anderson taught the group
how to make homemade
pizzas. While they were
baking, there was a
discussion on "Are Drugs
Harmful".
This was very informative,
and the members learned
that drugs not only are
harmful to the person taking
them, but will produce
harmful effects even in their
grandchildren. The climax
of the meeting was the eating
of the pizzas.
Church news
The Rev. Elwood Morden
was in charge of the morning
worship on Sunday. Con-
tinuing with his sermon
series on the Prayer of St.
Francis of Asissi, he dealt
with the lines "The Widsom
to know the Difference".
Rev. Morden said, "In a
sense all of us are like the
man who stands at a busy
intersection and cannot
decide which road to take.
Some of the roads have
dead ends, these are the
roads of "Buy now, pay
later" "Smoke Pot"
"Common .Law Marriage"
"Women's Lib" and many
more. We all must struggle
to find the right road. Others
will tell us that we can't find
our way out of this maize.
There are some open high-
ways, that we can travel, we
can get there tho' narrow is
the gate and long the jour-
ney, but God's Love is
greater than man's sin. St.
Francis said "Give us the
Wisdom to know the dif-
ference".
Wisdom is a gift from God,
it cannot be acquired, God
gives us the Wisdom that we
need, it can be expressed in
three ways, understanding,
knowledge, and action, said
the Minister.
At St. Thomas Anglican
Church the Rev. Greg Smith
conducted the service of
Morning Prayer on Sunday.
The first lesson was read by
Miss Helen Herbert. Mrs.
Clarence Lewis read the
second lesson.
In his message to the
children, the Rector ex-
plained the meaning of the
words of a new song "The
Joy of the Lord, is our
Strength" then taught them
the words and actions while
he accompanied them on his
guitar.
The text for Rev. Smith's
sermon was taken from the
first lesson and dealt with
loving one another, and
doing things together as a
family or in groups of any
nature this is one ritual, also
we should love the Lord our
God with all our hearts, and
all our soul and with all our
strength.
Personals
Mr. & Mrs. Chas. Hayden
and Mr. & Mrs. Harold Mills
have returned home after
spending a vacation on the
Island of St. Lucia in the
Caribbean.
holding a 4-2 lead they fell
apart and allowed the
Milverton team six unan-
swered goals. Final score 8-
4. Surprisingly enough there
was not a penalty called in
that game.
The pee-wees lost their
first game of the Ripley
tournament 2-1 but came
back to win the next two
games and take home the
consolation trophy. Roger
Ward scored the only goal
for us in the first game on a
pass from Mike McCallum.
In the second game, goals
by Billy Lessard, Roger
Ward, Steven McIntyre and
Ron VanMassenhoven led
our team to a 4-3 win. The
third game ended in a 4-4 tie
which resulted in a show
down. Each team has six
shots to break the tie. Our
boys scored on five of the six
attempts while Mark
Morrissey (who picked up
the most valuable player
award) allowed the other
team only three goals out of
the six attempts.
Goal getters inthe final
game were, Dave Smith (3),
Billy Lessard and Steve
McIntyre (two each), Roger
Ward and Ron Van-
massenhoven with one each.
Coach Bob Watson can be
proud that the many years
he has given our boys has
finally paid off. They are a
team to contend with.
The much delayed Road
Rally went off without a
hitch on Sunday afternoon.
Thirty five people in 10 cars
travelled approximately 65
miles over a rough and
muddy course deciphering a
route plan drawn up by Stew
McGregor. Some navigators
were on the ball and some
weren't. One car got three
miles before it had to be
towed back.
Most of the entrants don't
realize that when you set the
dinner table thefork is on the
left. This lack of knowledge
took them on the wrong
roads and added many miles
to the course. All in all we
can honestly say the Rally
was a lot of fun and a suc-
cess. Watch for the next one
which will be held in the near
future.
The Les Pines entry driven
by Terry Price and
navigated by Ellen Knight
were the over all winners.
Congratulations on a fine
performance. Thanks to all
who entered, and also thanks
to Ron Morrison, Stewart
McGregor and Al Legoff for
an excellent job of running
the Rally.
Ahead of us there is a lot of
work. Youth programs such
as the oratorical contest.
bike safety and junior sports
are going to take a lot of time
and energy to make them a
success. Give your kids the
support they need in these
programs. Well give them
ours.
The next club dance is to
be held on Mrach 14 at the
hall. Bring your neighbours
and other friends out for a
good time.
Nine members visited the
Clinton Optimists on
Thursday evening for an
inter -club and returned with
an extra valise. The owner of
this property can claim such
by returning the visit.
Manager of the week is
Doreen Browning. Doreen
operates a Ceramics
business in the village of
Crediton. Our wish is that
Doreen has a very successful
future. Drop in and let her
show you what she has to
offer.
On February 20, Optimist
Harold Smith took Opti -Mrs.
Kathy Lawrence as his
bride. The members of the
club and the community
wish this young couple many
years of happiness and good
fortune.
Remember: You always
win if you lose with a smile.
Tom Lessard
Optimist.
