Civil war in
Hensall tonight
By Racy Lewis
HENSALL - Its brother against
brother and neighbour versus
neighbour. That's right. Civil war
Dashwood
by Bernice Boyle
DASHWOOD - The 67 annual
meeting of London Conference was
held May 23-26 at Ridgetown Col-
lege and Arena. This year's theme
Faith an expression of Hope, ran
throughout the four days with guest
speakers, music and youth forum
skits.
The fust speaker, Lavonne Bal-
lagh, chose "Belief'. She is a hospi-
tal receptionist in Wingham and
was inflicted with rheumatoid ar-
thritis at the age of four. She told of
struggles with this crippling disease
and how God turned her belief
around in a very positive way.
Second speaker on "Commit-
ment" was delivered by the Port
Stanley minister Martin Asumet-
Birikorang. He challenged every-
one to look beyond ourselves -
Canada is a great country but needs
love - needs absolute committee ac-
tion.
The next speech was in the form
of a TV Journal on "Action" with
Heather MacLean as the interview-
er. Panelists were Nan Barker, who
walked from Windsor to Ottawa
with Freedom for Nitassinan Peace
Walk, Sandia McNee who works at
the imberlost housing project in
I r k an
Normanb oc
Lon Ho and
agricultural missionary in Nepal.
They all explained how they put
their faith into action and chal-
lenged the whole conference dele-
gation to put their faith into action
when they returned to their congre-
gations. It only takes a spark to get
a fire going, so be prepared folks
when the delegates come back to
their respective churches - be open
to some new ideas and get into the
Action.
Nancy Becker returned home
from spending a week in St. Jo
seph's Hospital.
Edith Baker spent last weellend

has broken out in the village of
Hensall. Once a year tempers
flare and combatants assemble to
walk it off; literally.
Highway #84 through the vil-
lage has become the main battle -
line for this year's North/South
Challenge to be held tonight,
(Wednesday) in conjunction with
fitness week. Residents on the
north side of the village challenge
their southern counterparts to an
all-out walls for fitness, but at the
same time attempt to have a larger
representation of their own area.
"It's turned into quite a rivalry,"
said Ann Willem, Assistant Clerk
for Hensall's Municipal Office.
"But it's all in good fun."
Although the south contains the
largest concentration of people, the
north have won the last two years
with about 21 percent of their popu-
lation competing. Willem says she
expects more to participate this
year, unless the weather intervenes.
"And the south seems determined
to win this year," said Willed.
The Hensall Kinettes will be on
hand again this year and promise to
make the walk even more entertain-
ing by setting up stations through-
out the village with events such as
hopscotch and a basketball freeth-
row competition.
The Kmettes will also provided
aid for residents of Queensway
who will once again lend support to
the north's cause.
Challengers will meet at the mu-
nicipal office at 7 p.m. for registra-
tion
egistra-tion and then proceed for a 15 min-
ute walk around the village,
although a longer route is available
for those interested.
