Les Shiel, who is on vacation, the congregation was honoured to have Mark Lampoonery by Bud Sturgeon I can see by the little old lampoon calendar on the 'wall that today is the first of May. Those April showers this week did coax out a few flowers around the Hollow. Even the magnolia has been persuaded to bloom in season, contrary to last year's fall effort But all is not well. Canadiens' supporters are still rn shock as they watched the Habs being eliminated earlier this week. It's tough to decide which was worse. Listening to Dave Hodge's insipid whining about the Leafs in between periods, Gary,D0-ernh5ffer choking on one syllable words or seeing netminder Herron trying to shoot the puck in his own net last Sunday. On the bright side, we're now back to Daylight Saving Time. -The things- you can get accomplished after supper now are just mind-boggling. You can sit on the pier and fish for perch or trip out to the -local streams and diddle for trout. And May means the return of baseball up at the diamond. Everybody starts to think warm. How about that first swim of the year. Many years ago, the local group used to make the first swim on the 24th weekend at the hogsback. For some, it was a skinny dip after dark, then pop into the pea field for a snack (a little later in the season). Now one year, the boys had been eating peas at night for a week. A few days later they chanced upon the swimming hole in the afternoon then over to the pea field. I've been told that there are -a couple of gents that don't care too much for peas now (or since) because everyone .they opened in the light was wormy. Pioneer Park will soon be oppn and the sun will be obliging onlookers withthe second most beautiful sunsets in the world. Strolling through the Hereford Heads bush last Sunday we noted the!, Bloodroots, Dog .Tooth Violets and Jack in the Pulpits were well underway. The fungus connoisseurs will soon be able to procure a few "morsels" from their favorite spot. Highschoolers will soon be finishing another grind at the books. -Finals are coming up so this is probably your last chance to play hookey until next September. It's garden planting time, gotta put the beer in a cooler now and the picnickers return to the park. The frogs are singing in the swamp and the Moleman had his "first year at the Mile High" tea party already. Next week, I think a few jokes, maybe, as vye plant the Vegetable garden again, but for now have to get back to attending the resident "Labeotropheus" at the Hollow. Dance raises money for ball diamonds Several hundred dollars were raised last Saturday night as an exuberant crowd turned out for the Spring Training Dance. The proceeds will be used for the reconstruction of the existing ' baseball diamond in the agricultural park. Five records were given away as "spot" dance prizes.

During the dance, the Bayfield Babes Slo-pitch team draw was also held. Jim Taylor of Walton turned out to be the big winner as he won the pine Deacons' Bench (made by Lloyd Huffman). The Second prize; a dried flower arrangement (donated by Bill Gam - mage) was won by Frank Deelstra. The music, which was provided by the ",Desjardines" from Zurich, kept everybody shuffling and shakin,' to everything from Glen IVilller's "In the Mood" to `rock and roll'.
