Their coach Rene Boogemans, Hensoll (left) and partner Andy Martin, Thomesford, give the twosome a few pointers. The Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the canoe trip on Burgerfest Sunday, June 22, with proceeds for the Grand Bend minor sports and beach cleaner. With the local churches United Church In the absence of Rev. Peebles, who was preaching at the Ilderton United Church on Sunday, the service was in charge of the session members at the Grand Bend United Church. Joan Eagleson gave the call to worship. The scriptures were read by Bob Southcott. In the children's time, Betty Riddell gave a lesson with two packages, one attractively wrapped, the other in plain brown paper. She asked the chdldren which they would chose, then two children opened the parcel. The gaudy one held socks, the plain one, a beautiful photograph album. The moral of the story, it's not always the wrapping . outside that counts, but what is in one's mind and heart. Don Kobe gave the meditation message, titled "Understanding". He told them that understanding requires a willingness to grasp the facts, to listen, and to make decisions. The bi- ble- answers many of our questions about understanding. Assisting Don on the platfdl•m were Fred Willert and Allan Walper. The door greeters were Pat and Elgin Hendricks and the ushers were Sid Durie and Jared Kobe. The choir anthem was "Ask Me What Great Things I Know". Next Sunday, June 1, the U.C.W. women will be in charge of the service with Rev. and Mrs. Don Irwin, return- ed missionaries from Korea, as guest speakers. Church of God On Wednesday evening, the Youth Group started a Bible study on the life of Christ from the gospel of Mark. The adults studied Galatians 5:1-12 on the idea of all or nothing with Christ. One cannot have it both ways. The women of the Church of God hosted two brunches, one an Saturday morning and one after church on Sun- day, to raise money for the missions. On Sunday morning, Rev, Barnhart took his sermon from Romans 6, on how to live a holy life. First, we must have the knowledge of what Christ has done for us, then have the will to want to do as He wishes, and finally, that we need the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish it. A film was shown on Sunday even- ing, titled "From Heaven to Earth" which chronicled the beginnings of the Church of God. The congregation closed the service with a selection of hymns written by authors from Chruch of God. Catholic news Sunday marked the Feast of the Most Blessed Trinity, in the liturgical calendar and Father Morri !ey, the pastor, was celebrant at all the i Mattes: His sermon dealt with the nature of the Holy Tttriity:The dbc-' tined the Trinity reveals the nature of God as a loving Father, who created us and shares with us, giving us good things. God has become con- crete in history, in and -through Hid son Jesus Christ, who was born both , God and man. God in the person of the Holy Spirit is always with us as a con- stant companion and helper; a real, warm presence in our lives. Congratulations go to Peggy -Lynn Ducharme, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Ducharme, and to Elyshia Denomme, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Denomme who both received Jesus for the first time in holy com- munion.

'eta Timetlt voco e, ?Any 211; 19e6 z s, iP f4: • useum engine fest draws sizeable crowd Page 34% The annuali�que Intl fest was held Sunday at�the'.atnbtoa� Museum, with about 450 a The weather was still a bit cool and overcast, but a welcome relief from all the rain, so the crowds could en- joy the displays of old engines. Parked near the Highway 21 was a - working demonstration of an old 1920 Goodeson threshing. machine, made in Sarnia, hooked up to an oil pull Rumely tractor. One of the first sights to greet your eyes was a beautiful 1029 Hudson Roadster convertible, cream coloured owned by Deane Glover of Mt. Brydges Maurice Harwood, of Ailsa Craig, had an exhibit .of six small gas engines, four of them made prior to 1920, including a McCormick - Deering, a Fairbanks -Morse and a Massey -Harris. These small gas engines were used to pump water, or provide power to chop wood. With a special pulley, they 'could be hooked up to' a generator to provide electricity. Currie Sharp, of Courtwright,; displayed his collection of eight small gas engines, from 1910 to 1920, in- cluding a two h.p. Maximotor from Saginaw, Mich., a Brgwnwall" from. Lansing Mich, a Rock Island, a Page from Walkerville, and a'rar^eAcadian from Bridgeport, Nova Scotia. Mr. Sharp also had an old Briggs and Stratton gas powered drag taw, from the early 1900's; which is a rare machine now, : used prior to the modern chain saws. Jerry Stevens from Dresden had his 1919 "50" Cockshutt tractor on display and John Shamblaw of Fair - wood was showing his 1937 Chev navy pickup truck. There were a few large engnes too, among them a seven h.p. Stickney gas engine with iron wheels, and a John Goodis steel wheeled steam engine, made in Sarni, for those who fondly remember them, large and noisy, from the days gone by. Nelson Ferguson, from Melrose, owns a horse drawn grain binder from 1920, which was converted to engine drive about 1940. This old machine would gather up the cut hay or grain and bind in into sheaves, and is still used by Mennonites. $tan Dufton; from London, represented the Tri County Heritage Club with his 1925 Massey Harris engine, with a belt pulley running a Putnam Pump, made in Lyons Ont. in 1910. The Massey -Harris was designed to run on kerosene, but has been modified to use gasoline, and powered the water pump just as effi- ciently as ever. The Putnam Com- pany, by the way, is one'of the few still in business since the 1900s..... ., Bob McCrackin, of Leamington, had something a bit different, a cider press over 80 years old, worked by hand. He was kept busy demonstrating how apples are con- verted to cider, for the benefit of the curious and thirsty bystanders. Alan Gough of Strathroy proved that a gasoline engine can really be a work of art with his beautifully restored 1910 Goold -Shapely -Muir 10 h.p. machine. It had been originally used to blow the fog horn at the Tiner's Point Lighthouse, New Brunswick. Mr..Gough purchased the wreck, unused since 1925, in 1983, and spent several years restoring it to present mint condition. Cardwell Teetzle showed a huge six h.p. Robertsonville engine, 1912, made in Quebec, used to provide power for chopping cattle fodder and sawing wood. There were many other colorful examples all in working order, to pro- vide noise for the young and nostalgia . for the old.

Piano Recital About 35 students and. their families filled the large meeting/dining room at the Zurich Bluewater Rest Home, 'Thursday evening for a piano/organ recital' put on by the pupils of Miss , Idella Goble. Nearly every available chair was brought out to accom- modate the crowd of senior citizens who carpe to enjoy the show. 'The level of music varied from short, simple tunes played by novice students to more complex pieces beautifully performed by the older students. There were some songs per- fotmed.on the organ,.and several sibl- inp played piano duets. One family even boasted three boys and ttiheir mother, all performing at the recital, while a proud dad watched. The older people really enjoyed the music and the company of the children, providing an appreciative audience. Miss Idella Gable, who per- formed two lovely pieces hertyelf, is to be congratulated on the proficiency of her students. Bible Class Twenty ladies attended the Com- munity Bible s,tudy held at Sauble Court Tuesday morning. Preceding the lesson, Nita Sinclair gave an open- ing prayer and Millie Desjardine led a hymn sing, Studying from a "Woman's Workshop on Christian Character: Heart Trouble", they began Lesson 6 "The Diligent Heart". They found that they all have differ- ing personalities; Yp some diligence comes easily,"but others must really work at it. The bible states that Chris. tians should be diligent in both tem- poral and spiritual matters, and that God expects His people to be diligent in their daily work. The lesson was led by Vera Brown, who also gave the closing prayer, remembering the sick and shutins. 'Meeting same time and place next week.
