DISPLAYS PRODUCTS — Canadian artist, Bruce Herchenrader, left, visited Grand Bend last Sunday
to show his prints and meet the public. With him, on the right is Carol and Darryl Farquhar, owners
of The Grey Otter Gallery located at Queen Street Place in Grand Bend.
The winning tickets were drawn by
Grand Bend councillor Marsha
Lemon, for the quilt draw sponsored
by the Sauble Court Tenants Associa-
tion. The event took place over Satur-
day afternoon tea, served in the Sau-
ble Court lounge. The winner of the
third prize, $30 worth of groceries,
ticket no. 2430 was LeeAnn Dietrich
of Crediton. The second prize afghan,
ticket no. 1920 went to Eleanor `
Cockburn of Grand Cove Estates.
First prize ticket no. 2301 was won by
Nola Love, Sauble Court. Congratula-
tions to all.
Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Roberts
received some very special visitors
recently, their son Terry Roberts, his
wife Cathy, and two grandchildren,
Sam and Maggie, all the way from
Melbourne, Australia. Terry Roberts
is a professor at the Melbourne
University, presently on a six-month
sabbatical. The whole family is enjoy-
ing a world tour, and this visit to
Grand Bend was the first in six years,
so five-year-old Maggie met her
grandparents for the first time.
Shirley and Stuart Pole of Grand
Bend, travelled with their friends,
Edith and Bill Phillips to visit
relatives in Battle Creek, Michigan.
• This was the first visit in 20 years, to
see his cousins, and his aunt
Margaret Angood, a real family
reunion.
Visitors last week with Lorne and
Loreen Devine were Truman Fisher
of Wapello, Saskatchewan, and
George and Viola Armstrong of
Wallacetown.
In the Scouting news, 22 girls were
enrolled in the Grand Bend Girl
Guides, and they will begin meeting
this week each Tuesday evening,
from 6 to 8 p.m. at St. John's Anglican
Hall. Brownies will be meeting on
Mondays. Twenty-one Cubs were
enrolled, and nearly that many
Beavers, the Cubs will be meeting
each Thursday at the Grand Bend
Public School, the Beavers meet on
Mondays. Only a small group of Boy
Scouts were enrolled, and this pack
still is in desperate need of a leader.
The Girl Guides are also looking for
another leader, so please give this
your consideration.
The United Church Women provid-
ed entertainment and lunch for the
September birthdays of the residents
of the Zurich Blue Water Rest Home,
Thursday evening. The entertainers
were Carl Neibergall on bango, Jean
Crocker at the organ, and Don Kobe
on his violin. They played a medley
of old time music and hymns. About
12 U.C.W. members were present to
serve a lunch and visit with the
residents. Everyone joined in singing
"Happy Birthday". Fergus Turnbull,
thanked the U.C.W. on behalf of the
home and all the residents.
Lorne and Loreen Devine had a
very busy weekend with several more
visitors on Sunday. Mary Mae
Wushky, a sister of Truman, also
from Wapello, Sask., came to visit,
with her sisters Thelma Thiel and
Leona Reichert of Zurich. Mr. and
We often parson those who bore us,
but we cannot pardon those whom we
bore.
Mary's Musings
i can predict the rain with greater
accuracy than Jay Campbell. I know
exactly when a heavy downpour is go-
ing to occur.
It's easy. As soon as my husband
mentions any plans to go golfing, I
know that it is going to rain. If he
plans to take part in a tournament
which is a week away, it will be dull
and dreary all week. On the day of the
planned golf tournament, there will
be a steady and constant downpour
for at least the full 24 hours.
if Victor makes plans one day to go
golfing the next afternoon, he may
wake to find a sunny day. But by noon
it will cloud up, and by one o'clock the
drizzle will begin, working up to a
heavy rain by two o'clock.
Sometimes he tries to fool~ the
weather by heading out for the golf
course on the spur of the moment.
There might be a beautiful clear sky
when he arrives. But a sudden
downpour will come out of nowhere
before he completes the seventh hole.
He's never seen the full 18.
Victor's never been what you'd call
Mucky. I think it all started about 10
years ago when he broke a mirror.
Maybe no one's explained a broken
mirror only gives seven years of bad
luck.
On the other hand, this was a huge
mirror ( it started out as about four

feet by eight feet, but by the time we
were finished with it, !there were two
mirrors about four feet square).
Maybe the bad luck lasts for 17 years,
instead of just seven, when you break
a mirror that large.
I first noticed Victor's lack of luck
when we were in Las Vegas, about
two years ago. We each took a roll of
quarters and attacked the one-armed
bandits. In the first two minutes, the
bandit -had taken all Victor's money.
With the occasional win, I was able to
spread my money over three or four
days.
Then there was the time we were all
lined up to attend a special event.
Organizers were counting the atten-
dance, and the 1000th visitor was to
receive a special prize. When some
people came along who had friends
directly in front of us in the line-up,
we graciously let them into the queue.
We heard the counting as we ap-
proached the door, "997, 998, 999 ...:'.
The lady who Victor had let into•line
won the big prize. '
Of course, 1 could conclude with
some mushy sentiment, saying that
he was truly lucky on our wedding
day. But he'll probably roll up this
newspaper and bop me over the head
with it. i'll just have to remember not
to send him near any golf courses
without a proper rain coat.

Deer kIIIed near Yarm
By Mary ChesseU
The deer are moving around again,
and drivers would be wise to exercise
caution in the bush areas, especially
during night hours. There have been
several reports of deer on the road,
and one was killed north of Varna late
Saturday night near the Collcough
property.
Bill and Helen Taylor attended
Riverside United Church in London
on Sunday for the baptism of their
grandchildren, Riley and Collette,
children of Bill and Joyce Boussey.
Best wishes to Brian and Joan
McAsh on the opening of another
outlet for their business on Bayfield
Road in Goderich. Their grand open-
ing celebration is this weekend.
Barbara Ann Parker is hoping to
get a morning exercise class started.
Anyone who is interested is asked to
call her so a suitable time can be
established.
Bill and Mary Chessell attended the
evening anniversary service of Zion
United Church in Rostock on Sunday,
the guests of Cliff and Marilyn
Kreuter. This is always a program of
music.
The Proclaimers, a trio of singers
and musicians from Waterloo were
featured. They play rather unique in-
struments, a chord harmonica (about
two feet long, the longest harmonica
there is), base harmonica and a wind
instrument with an organ -type
keyboard. One man also played
several melodies on a saw.

of the best groups we've heard, also

s1^6. It's always a pleasure to hear
Weir congregation sing, as it was
formerly an Evangelical United
Brethren Church, German
background, and there is four-part
harmony throughout the congrega-
tion.1 wonder why the United Church
Hymn Book wasn't produced in a
style similar to theirs, with easily
readable print between the bars of
music, so anyone who can read music
can join in singing even unfamiliar
hymns.
Following the service, lunch was
served, and an impromptu singsong
around the piano went on for an hour.
Please remember the U.C.W.
meeting this Thursday, October 2 at
8 o'clock with Roberta Kloss as guest
speaker.
