Painting a pleasure craft

After a few questions, I
learned that this was a
very . interesting PGT

once was seasonal is now
a full-time business,-

this is a .relatively new
paint that is proving to be
a phenomenal asset to the
craft owners. Some of the
craft had been painted
three years before, and
the men explained that
they never need waxing
or polishing, just soap
and water to wash them
off periodically:
The paint ,they ex-
plained has been used for
the past 8. or 9 years on
'aircraft, but is relatively
new ' to the boating in-
dustry. Known as
"Awlgrip
(apolyurethdne type) and
often referred to as
•
"super paint", it is
equally "wearable" in
fresh and salt waters: A

Scout -Guide celebration
Thursday evening
February 21, marked the
date in Bayfield --by close
to 100 youth celebrating
Thinking Day. The
ceremony was held in. the
Old Town Hall and hosted
by 1st Bayfield Guide Co.
After Mrs) Don Chilton
(Guider in Charge)
welcomed and thanked
all those present for
coming, the Scouts
started off with the colors
to the front.
The Guides put on a
very impressive and
informative pageant with
candlelighting to make
_friendship international
ring the earth. The
leaders helped . light a
candle for each member
of the movement on an
Lent observed
First Sunday in Lent,
known as A Penitential
Service, was observed in
Trinity Anglican Church
Sunday morning with
Rev. William M. Bennett
officiating. Pat Graham
read the lesson from St.
Matthew.
The --hector chose
"Forty Days, Lenten
Meditation" as his ser-
mon topic. Lent is a time
when as a community of
God's people, we strive to
turn back to the pledge -
made in Baptism ; to live
the Christian life and to
re -assess what this
Christian life requires"of
us in 1980. Penitential
Service was brought into
being when the 1959 Book
of Common Prayer came
into use. It replaced the
old Commination Service
of 1549, which many
disliked. It has' the finest
of E xhu, t.at.wn 01
Anglican history, and has
been used and
paraphrased in other
parts of the Anglican
Communion. •
In the World Cycle of

accompanied by organist
Mollie Cox offered a
fitting contribution to the
sacrament of baptism.
The new organ, gift of
chobr members Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Mayman in
memory of • their son

Beavers very dapably
and lustily sang "Happy
Birthday" honoring the
