Harrrkl Have you -.ever

two Hayfield • residents,

voyage aboard a sailboat,
from Port Dover, Ontario

South Carolina.

'House of Mouse' on Tuyll

their adventures on the

These two good old

some nice scenery, but
little excitement. As a
point of interest, the
greatest look drop was 60
feet with the last four or
five locks totalling over
180'feet.

crew spending an in-

veterans camping beside
the canal, celebrating the

towards 'the lack of
respect for the Iranian
Crisis' they substituted
dynamite for fireworks.

295enjoy fish fry
With many other ac-
tivities going on locally,
the crowd at this year's
Lions Fish Fry was
notical3ly smaller than
last 'year. However, 295
hungry `fish eaters'
showed, up to appease
their appetites, at the
Community Centre on
Saturday afternoon.
According to event
chairman Don Haw, the
function grossed about
$1,400 at the door, with
actual profit to be
calculated later.
Due to, the relatively
small turnout, there is
some fish left over, and
they are being made
available for sale to the
general public. These fish
are already battered and
frozen, and are packed in
16 lb. boxes. Cost is $28
per box. Please contact
John Siertsema or Don
Haw if you are interested
in obtaining some of these
fish.

"What is . New
Zealand's population?"
Madge replies "Three
anda half million people
and sixty million sheep".
And thereby hangs a tale:
many sheep used to go to
Great Britain but when
that country joined the
European Common
Market its purchase of
N.Z. lamb feel sharply.
Consequently a huge
order from Iran was
welcomed. However the
contract required that the
killing had to be done by
Iranian slaughter -men
because they had to face
the lambs • toward Mecca
while being killed with a
vertical slit of their
throats rather than the
horizontal cut of New
Zealand slaughter -men:

The holiday weekend
worship service had the
largest attendance this
summer. The worship
was rich in music with
Jim Smith from Hilltop
Chapel in Toronto singing
two numbers, his son
Tom playing guitar and
organ for the hymns, Ron
playing piano and singing
with Linda (Ron's wife),
Linda playing guitar and
harp solo. Ron preached
a sermon entitled, "Hair
like a flock of goats,"
exhorting the people to
take seriously their
words Spoken to their
spouse, concentrating on
speaking words of praise
and "appreciation to their
sweetheart, thereby
giving ultimate tribute to
the Creator and
Redeemer - Sanctifier of
holy wedlock.
The last, .of a series of
three sermons on the

Since Mrs. Quin was
here two years ago, the
.city Where she' lives
Dunedin - and its en-
virons have experienced
heavy floods with
resultant damage. Also a
landslide when the
removal of rocks and
gravel for a new
motorway undermined a
residential area in the
city caused 72 ,houses to
collapse. Her son's house
was evacuated but
" remained intact and he
still occupies it.

saying the main mast had
snapped at the spreaders,
in a race prior to the
scheduled voyage so the
next two days were spent
fitting "a heavier cruising

rigging, the shrouds and
stays.
On a Monday morning,
they finally set sail with a

Mrs. Quin called on the
Poths who had visited
with her and her family in
Dunedin. •
She finds Bayfield a
pleasant "place to be and
likes its wide tree -lined
main street and the shops
there. She was also
pleased with the royal
treatment she received at
the Lions Club Carnival
last week when she won
$50 in the Lions Club
raffle.

A beautiful Memorial
Clock placed on the -north

Church in Bayfield was
dedicated Sunday

Management and was
well loved by her friends.
Her concern about the
clock .i.n..- the church
(which did not work) was
remembered. Thanks are
extended to the dear
friends who made this
memorial possible.
