Convention planned A number of families from the Clinton area are finalizing preparations to attend the "Victorious Faith" international convention of Jehovah's Witnesses at Montreal's Olympic Park, July 5-9. Convention officials now expect more than 90,000 persons to attend. "It is a family affair," said Witness spokesman Walter Gardiner, noting that many have taken a week of their summer vacation to attend. During the five-day program parents and children will listen, sing and pray together as they attend 30 hours of lec- tures, interviews, discussion periods and reports from foreign delegates. The Bible will come alive as familiar stories from the Book of books are acted out in authentic costumes of the biblical period. "Sessions are designed to appeal both to the mind and to the heart," he observed.

"Yes," was the reply from the congregation of Ontario Street United Church whose outdoor service on Sunday morning, June 26, was followed with a pot luck picnic. The river where they gathered flows around the per- imeter of the Clinton - Bayfield Conservation Park. Actually, the river is screened from view by large willow trees but the area itself provided a lovely setting for com- muning with God and nature. Thankfully there was just enough cloud cover to screen out the scorching rays of the sun Mrs. Gladys VanEgmond very graciously provided accordion ac- companiment for hymn singing and for the male quartet who do such a moving rendition of that favourite old hymn, "Church in the Wild - wood", Apropos to the location and in lieu of ?AGEHesS �`oS,N 111 til JANE i .TESD 9 p.M preaching a sermon, Reverend Norman Pick had selected readings on Christ and nature. Following the service, the approximately 200 persons moved from their lawn chairs to the picnic tables in the covered area where the food was soon set out in smorgasbord fashion. The quantity and variety of delicious dishes was overwhelming and to sample it all one would have needed the appetite of an elephant. The next few hours were spent either in par- ticipaction in assorted contests or spectating. In the shoe kicking contest, some of the ladies would have set records if they could have kicked their slippers as far out in front of them as they did high into the air. I do believe, if one looks closely, they may yet find a ladies shoe or two some 35 feet up the maple trees. There were also a number of relay contests in which everyone cer- tainly did their best for their team. However the losers ended up winners of the prize (life savers) as it was felt they needed it to boost their morale! At one time during proceedings an awful lot of little monkeys ap- peared from the bushes when handfuls of peanuts were tossed in the air and then these same little monkeys retreated to munch on their latest bonanza (not banana). When there are numerous strong men in the crowd, no picnic is complete without a Tug - of -War and so it fell to Bob Elliott to divide the male picnickers into two even (?) teams. Well, it would seem that he did a superb job on making them even. Both teams were pulling hard, in opposite directions when the rope broke so it was only fair they both be declared winners, or should we say losers. Guess it all depends on how you look at it. Am afraid Roy Wheeler came out a loser as he was accidentally booted in the head by one of his teammates. Final activity on the agenda was a softball game organized by Dick Lobb. 133) this time it was pretty obvious which generation' has the most energy as the kids out- numbered the adults on the ball diamond by at least 10 to 1. Ah, the joy of youth! To the Centennial Committee whose idea it was to hold the outdoor service and picnic a hearty thank you.
