When he was just 19 years
old, Fred McClymont and
four of his buddies, Anson
Coleman, Russell Erratt,
Bill Johnson and Orville
McClinchey joined the Loyal
Orange Lodge Branch 1035 in
Varna.
Today, some 60 years later
Mr.McClymont is still an
active member of that
organization and on Friday
night he was honored by
more than 200 people for his
years of service and devotion
to the Lodge.
"It doesn't seem like 60
years," this spirited oc-
togenarian claimed
Yet past and present
Lodge members and of-
ficials, their wives, Mr.
McClymont's wife,four of
their children and several
grandchildren gathered in
the Varna Lodge to honor
this ° man with a special
dinner and presentation.
Mr. McClymont, a Varna
farmer who now lives in
Clinton, ,still gets out to the
monthly meetings and
strongly supports the
organization he has been a
part of for more than half a
century.
Organized in Varna over
100 years ago, Mr.
McClymont explained that
the Lodge acts as a service
club, promoting and sup
porting the community.
Each winter the Lodge rule
a skating rink and "the kici
get a lot of fun out if it," Mr.
McClymont said. •
Lodge members work in
-conjunction with the Stanley
Township Recreation Board,
providing coaches • and
referees for the baseball
league, buying equipment
for the local playground,
purchasing bleachers for the
bail perk and helping the
township pay for lights at the
ball diamond
"There's a pretty good
bunch in there now," Mr.
McClymont approved. And
he should know, he's seen
and been a part of the ac-
tivities of the Varna Lodge
for more than six decades.

Varna goes snaky
By Mary Chessell
There was some excite-
ment at Brian McAsh's a
week ago Monday when a
large snake crawled out
from beneath the back steps.
It was eventually identified
by Dave Roy as being a milk
Hake, something that is not
4eommonly seen in the
,village.
The Varna -Goshen CGIT
girls and their mothers en-
joyed a pot luck supper and
program at Varna church on
Monday evening. The girls
put on a skit The Dating Ser -
Vice.
Anson McKinley took part
in a dialogue with Rev.
Wilena Brown on the topic
Christians, Systems and
Responsibilities at the Varna
and Goshen church services.
Anson feels the church
should not pressure the
government in policy mat-
ters, but should be most con-
cerned with the individuals
who are members, so they in
turn will have a positive in-
fluence in society, and in the
responsible use of our
resources. •
He pointed out that it is our
demand for paper, for in-
stance, that necessitates
having large paper
which pollute our no
rivers. The things we think
we have a right to, even
education and medical care,
are not free, and must be
paid for in some way. The
more we depend on govern-
ment and other organiza-
tions to provide for these
things, the less freedom we
have.
He admitted there are
many complex issues,
without easy answers, but
the dialogue raised • some
thought-provoking issues.
Anson also pointed out that
people who. are not suc-
cessfully using their talents
and business or farming ex-
pertise, have little to offer to
other people.
ANSTETT
The congregation was
celebrating Rogation Sun-
day, and members offered
seeds; soil and water as well
as money. A representative
of the business world was
also included. The children
planted a pot, of zinnia seeds
for the church flower bed.
Next Sunday there will be
a report from Conference •
and Pentecost, and the
following Sunday Rev. Nor-
man Pick will be the guest
preacher at a joint service at
11:00 a.m. A barbecue will
follow the service, with our
Vietnamese family as
guests.
Please remember
tonight's U.C.W. meeting,
ladies.
On Sunday, the Stanley
Steamers slo-pitch team will
play in Zurich. No Wednes-
day game on the schedule.
Ladies recreational ball
will start on Friday night at
7:15 p.m. at the Varna Ball
Park. Everyone is welcome.
