Originally the house had a large front verandah which in later years was made into a front porch and more recently winterized as an all -year- round living -porch. The huge bedrooms on the upper - floor all have large closets and the whole house boasts beautiful hard- wood floor's. Other additions through the years, and more recent are two bathrooms, one on the upper floor as well as one on the main floor and a breakfast room off the kitchen with patio doors out onto the back lawn and garden. The large dining -room is graced by a beautiful antique dining - room suite, refinished in perfect con- dition.

United Church "Kids on the Block", a very touching and powerful worship ser- vice, was presented at the United Church on Sunday morning taa pack - Kinsmen withdraw sponsorship of Fiddlers' contest After 14 years of organizing the an- nual Hensall Fiddlers' Contest, the Hensall Kinsmen Club has made the reluctant decision to discontinue their sponsorship. The Fiddlers Contest was original- ly established in Hensall in 1948 by the Chamber of Commerce. and was held annually until 1954. 1t was revived by the Kinsmen in 1971. Wayne Reid, Contest committee chairman since the beginning, ex- plained that in 1971 the Hensall con- test joined Shelburne and Petrolia as the big three in southwestern Ontario. As more communities got into the act, Hensall suffered a gradual decrease in crowds and a drop in revenue. The Hensall event has lost money for the past two years. (Petrolia drop- ped out last year). "We didn't want to let go. I feel like someone whose child has left home, but for the money involved it was no longer worthwhile", Reid said. Staging'the contest each June has meant six months prior preparation and an expenditure of over ;11,000. Reid said the goal was never to make a large amount of money, but to keep Hensall on the map. However, the Kinsmen could not afford to continue with a money loser. The Kinsmen have offered to give all possible assistance to any organization that wishes to keep the Fiddlers Oontest going. Reid feels a community effort would stand the best chance of success, citing the tremendous job done by the Centen- nial Committee as an example. He pointed out that the Kinsmen had started a Bean Festival in Hensall which became too big a task for the club to handle alone, and "look what happened." As interest in the Fiddlers Contest has dwindled, the appeal of the - Kinsmen -sponsored Workboot Olym- pics held a day later has increased, Reid said. While few area residents attended the Fiddlers Contest, the Workboot Olympics have received broad local support since its inception two years ago. Plans are being made to expand the Olympics into an all - day event next June. filter Queen IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA 482-7103 Ell NI NMI MO 1 TRUST 1 1 COMPANY 1 1 GUARANTEED 1 1 CERTIFICATES 1 1 AVAILABLE 1 1 rtepresonting many trust 1 1 companies, highest rates usually available. 1 For more Information 1 contact John R.
