By Muriel Lewis GRANTON - Pastor Normalie Voakes has been en- joying her new home in the new Granton United Church manse on the corner near the park during De- cember. It will be the ideal location for a ringside seat to see the Fun Day parade next summer, as well as keep up to date with baseball in Granton, and when unexpected guests arrive it will be handy for a quick picnic in the park. Meanwhile, Walter and Julie Riddell and family have taken up residence as the new owners of the for- mer manse on King Street. The Toonders family purchased the former store on Main Street several months ago and have completed many obvious improvements to the building. Rumour has it that a new store will be opening up there early in the New Year. Nora Wissel, Elsie Dann, Pearl, Bryan and Muriel Lewis enjoyed breakfast at Westover Inn in gt. Marys last Friday, December 30. Dinner guests with Leroy and April Bryan and fami- ly on Friday were Madeline Baker and Pearl Bryan of St. Marys. The weather was ideal for the many family gather- ings held during the Christmas season whether in the community or at a distance, and the blanket of snow for New Years Day sure cleaned things up in a hurry. At Granton United Church Sunday, January 1, Pastor Normalie Voakes entitled her sermon 'It's about time!' based on the lessons from Ecclesiastes 3, Revelation 21 and Matthew 25. The ministry of music was a hymn 'For Thy Mercy and Thy Grace.' There was no service on New Year's Day at St. Thomas Anglican Church. Service time Sunday, January 8 is 8:30 a.m. 1 A chimney fire at 92 Brock Street in Hensall produced much smoke but no injuries, Friday morning. Elma Dayman said she `thought the chimney was cleaned but obviously it wasn't." Beef and vegetable enchiladas TORONTO - As winter settles in ever more deeply, escape looms large in our thoughts.
