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. In their second : ame after CARNIVAL PLANNERS — Sunday's carnival sponsored by the Zurich -Grand Bend figure skating club were a big success. Checking over final plans are carnival chairman Beth McGee, club pro Jeff Truemner and CFSA test chairman Carole Dietz. Staff photo 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.
