recital is a family affair
By Mel ri:., McElroy
The motif designed with
treble clefs on the green
sheet programs bespoke of
the colorful '83 piano recital
by Shirley Vincent A.R.T.C.
held on April 28 in the Blyth
United Church.
A distinctive feature of this
year's annual event was
family participation. The
recital began with Vanessa
Ward, a four and a half tiny
tot climbing onto the piano
bench and playing like a
veteran her two pieces, Jolly
Time and Pop Goes The
Weasel. Her mother Karen
Ward, Grade III, followed
with her selection, Fuga.
The Poore sisters, Gayle
and Elaine, and the Cun-
ningham sisters, Leona and
Julie, did themselves proud.
Mrs. Betty Battye, Grade VI,
her son Mark, and daughter
Catherine, Grade IX, each
gave creditable renditions.
Accountant Lentz, because
of a heavy work load at this
season, was unable to play
his number. Instead the
audience heard his daughter
Stephanie, a beginner, do her
stuff in My First Waltz. Chris
Royal, Grade IV, was for-
tunate to have his father in
the audience to take pictures
of him in action at the
keyboard.
The most advanced
student, Sheila Anderson,
Grade X, had the honor of

Nocturne Op. 2 No. 1.
Doubtless she will receive
high honors playing this
study in the Royal Con-
servatory exams held in
Blyth in June.
The audience of relatives
and friends greatly ap-
preciated the splendid work
of the other 12 musicians:

appreciation presented by

opening and closing
remarks; and Joan Watson
for her assistance with the
recital.
Wonderous cow
gives double birth
WINGHAM - Snowball, a
Shorthorn Holstein cross
row, owned by John and
Kevin Johnston of
Jamestown, recently made
cow history when she gave
birth to twin calves - a week
apart!
The likelihood of such an
occurence is a million to one,
according to Wingham
veterinarian Steward
I,eedham. If it did happen,
he said he would expect to
have one dead calf and an
extremely sick cow. But.
Snowball is no worse for
wear and she has two
healthy calves to boot.

dalton honors the Reabu
By Betty McCall
A social evening was held
in the Walton Community
Hall on April 28 for Eric and
Stella Reaburn who have
sold their feed mill to Frank
and Mabel Roth of
Brucefield who also run the
Varna Feed Mill.
Ken Shortreed was emcee.
Mildred Traviss gave out
rules for the euchre. Prize
winners were: ladies' high,
Charles Swan I playing as a
woman) ; low lady, Stella
Reaburn; high man, Bob
McMichael; low, Jim
Reaburn, Vancouver; birth-
day nearest date, Joyce Van
Vliet; lone hands, Jan Van
Vliet.
The program consisted of
musical numbers by the
Brown Family. Jack , Elva,
Sharon and Elaine, Phyllis
Mitchell and Mildred
Traviss played Amazing
Grace.
An address was composed
and read by Phyllis Mitchell.
Dear Eric, Stella and Fami-
ly:
When April 30th roles around
Income tax is all the sound.
But even worse this year you
know
Our feed mill man has got to
go.
The truest words Herb ever
said
Well you'll like Eric, he's a
good head.
Tonight we'd like to take a
look
At these 11 years and more
in your memory book.
A girl from Manitoba struck
out on a trip
To friends in Toronto and
found Eric real quick
And in Hamilton City, they
made a real team
Sheaffer Pen got Eric, and a
manager he's been.
Then in the fifties to
Goderich they came
You'll be a manager there,
but the pays not the same.
With two boys, a farm would
be quite the thing
Some pigs and cattle and
some chickens to sing.
In the cold of winter, the fac-
tory was great
But then in the summer, its
no place for saint.
Then along came the union,
that's not for me
I think I'll find something
more pleasing to see.
Meantime their family had
increased to five
Every summer at cooking
Stella would strive.
To the church camp just
through the fields she would
go
Quite often the house at
home would overflow.
Now they had boys, chickens
and cattle you see,
So the real thing in life is a
feed mill for me.
Just a little run to Walton,
Jim and Eric i Id it quick
Along with Ralph and Gerald
Smith it wasn't any trick.
Then Jim went to be a
policeman and along came
Steve
With bags on a feed cart, he
could really weave.
He made a few short cir-
cuits, an electrician he gave
a whirl
Then from assistant trucks,
along came Earl.
He was very quiet, the pro-
blems of life he knew
He really did like people,
now to the mission field he
flew.
Now all the time here's
Stella and girls
To get the mail and go to
town
Sure there's always Eric
with a smile or baffled look
At all times he has the
answer, in his head or in the
book
This winter was to be perfect
They'd be living right close
by.
Then Eric after Christmas,
in the ambulance did fly,
We all were very anxious but
hurrah he made it through.
And Stella as manager and
nurse, all hands would help
her too.
Now Walton hasn't a Reid or
Podborski, or even a flying
nun
Stella's been our flying
Grandmother and Eric
never fell that flat on a run.
And then there was the
building boom
A place to weld, Eric could
see
Say's Stella, "Wouldn't it be
something"
When he has time to fix for
me.
'There'll be chimneys, doors
and windows
And things you'd never
guess
Maybe he'll be coming to
Walton
Just to get a rest.
We know you'll walk the
straight and narrow
And from that path you'll
never stray.
Raising both a policeman
and a minister,
What more is there to say.
As you are taking pictures at
church or doing dishes
We hope you will enjoy this
gift to you.
From us with very best
wishes. Your Walton
Friends.
Ian Wilbee presented,them
with an envelope of money.
Eric made a fitting reply and
introduced the new owners
of the feed mill, Frank and
Mabel Roth.
