Andy Sande Pork , dvisor for Huron County Pot luck and new songs at Craig church By DOUG McNAIR Ailsa Craig Saturday night the United Church held a pot luck supper and sing a long with piano. .Jean Lee and Evelyn Trevithick acted a play and sang out of the new hymn book Song for A Gospel People. It was directed by Rev. Anne Beattie: The attendance was small but the • spirit was high as the new songs were .sung. The church is still having its windows releaded and still waiting for new troughs and facia boards. The ladies are getting things ready for the bazaar on November 21. Les Morley is recuperating after a triple heart bypass was performed this week at Victoria Hospital, London. Sunday at the Ailsa Craig Legion Hall the'Ailsa Craig and District Lion Club held a very successful breakfast. From 10 a.m. to after one p.m. it was a steady line of hungry customers picking up their choice•of " eggs, bacon, potatoes, juices, toast and jams. Nobody needed to go home hungry. It was a good day to gather and con- gregate and talk about the weather and fall blues. By the size of the turn out its possible more breakfasts in the new year will be held. Good luck Lions, keep it up. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Ross who are celebrating their 25 wedding anniversary. The Wrights in Nairn have opened their expansion from the Nairn Varie- ty this week that they purchased in July of this year. Dick and Sharron have opened a lunch bar which will keep the same hours as the variety store and if things go as well as this week it will be a booming success. Good food and clean shop is one way to get customers. It's been a while since Nairn has had a lunch bar but by the looks of it, it was one thing that had been missing. Its nice to see Mrs. Mary Schwartz out and about again. Welcome to Ailsa Craig. Between hospital and bad weather its been a lengthy move to your new house on William Street in the village. We've got you now, that's got to be a plus, it never snows in Ailsa Craig. Mr. J. Hubert on William Steet is in Victoria Hospital where he underwent a triple bypass. Get well soon.
