HENSALL - With the leaves al-
ready turning colour, residents
hope to enjoy a drive through the
countryside to see the fall colours
before September's end.
Each Monday afternoon in Sep-
tember residents will benefit from
bingo with the Hensall Presbyterian
ladies providing assistance and
prizes.
Rev. Rutledge from the Exeter
Baptist Church led our worship ser-
vice Tuesday afternoon with Jean
Woodward as pianist. We also
heard two beautiful solos from Lois
Davidson, whom we thank for shar-
ing her gift of music with us.
The baking club met on Wednes-
day and produced a delicious butter
cake with almonds. We are having
a great time trying out new recipes.
Wednesday evening residents
viewed two half hour National Film
Board presentations. One was a
Roy Bonisteel documentary about
"David" a Downs Syndrome child
who plays the part of Corky on a
popular T.V. show. the other was
"Chino: about an elderly woman
and her cat. Both were excellent
films.
Friday, our monthly information
Day focused on Blyth. We learned
much about this little town with
lots of community spirit, enough to
host a Rutabaga Festival, Thresher
and Steam Show, Championship
Dog Trials, and Live Theatre. Eve-
ryone enjoyed an informative after-
noon with several of our over 90
year old residents reminiscing
about their life in Blyth.
There is still time to purchase
quilt tickets. Remember the draw
will be held October 25. Don't miss
out on our beautiful Dresden Plate
quilt.
Leaves in
Zurich be
picked up early
ZURICH - The leaves are falling
early this year and Zurich council
is going to act accordingly.
Monday night steps were taken
to have the first pickup of leaves
two weeks earlier than a year ago.
M & R Disposal will be instruct-
ed to start the leaf pickup on Mon-
day morning , October 7 and fol-
low every two weeks on October
21 and November 4.
On literally the same subject,
clerk Maureen Simmons said she
has ordered three more blue boxes
from Bluewater Recycling for resi-
dents that had been missed.
Golden Glimpses
ZURICH - The Ladies Auxiliary
began their fall and winter meeting
and programs on Tuesday, Septem-
ber 3. Residents were entertained
by the music of the Ropp family
from Tavistock which was very en-
joyable. Readings were given by
other members of the Auxiliary and
refreshments served. Plans are un-
derway for the 25th anniversary of
the Rest Home. The dinner and
dance will be held at the arena on
October 5. Tickets are available at
various business places as well as
from staff members.
Many thanks go to the various
area people who have donated fresh
vegetables and fruit for the enjoy-
ment of the Residents.
The sympathy of residents and
staff is extended to the family of
the late Samuel Thomson.
Edwin Gascho is a patient in
South Huron Hospital, also our vol-
unteer bus driver, Bill Burr of the
Maplewoods Apartments who is in
South St. Victoria Hospital, Lon-
don. We wish them a speedy recov-
ery.
We welcome our new resident,
Frederick Smart, formerly of To-
ronto and Grand Bend.
Residents are working in the
Hobby Shop to prepare for the fall
bazaar and the Christmas trade.
They could use pine cones, particu-
larly the long narrow species if you
happen to have any.
The chapel service on Thursday
afternoon was conducted by Rev.
Douglas Wright of Hensall United
Church. Beatrice Rader presided at
the organ. Fr. Peter Hayes celebrat-
ed Mass for his parishioners.

Bending the rules a little was the name of the game at the
battle of the Stephen Township Cuties versus the Raging Hor-
mones on Sunday at the Hindmarsh benefit toumament. The
Cubes were able to score some 14 runs on a single at bat
with their creative interpretation of the rules. The umpire
ruled them all safe, but the Cuties later lost the game when
they left the field in an emergency vehicle and a convertible in
the third inning.
Announcing the game between the Stephen Township Cuties
and the Raging Hormones were Paul Dougherty and Ray Mills,
doing their best imitation of the meaningless banter heard on
Blue Jay's telecasts.
