Walkerburn celebrating 65th anniversary By Eleanor Bradnock Walkerburn Club Walkerburn, a small `village located in Hullett Township on the 13th concession south of Auburn, is to have a special celebration on August 18 when the Walkerburn Club is celebrating the 65th anniversary of its founding at Ball's Grove in the Maitland Block at 1:30 p.m. All that is left to tell the traveller that it is Walkerburn are small signs - made by Stewart Ball and placed at what was one time a flourishing corm -nullity. This small " village was named after Walkerburn in Scotland by an early settler, Robert Morrison, in 1859. A little later, Alex Monteith settled here and put a darn across the Blyth creek to have water power to operate a sawmill. A few years later, his brother arrived from Scotland and built a woollen mill across the creek from the sawmill. A post office was built across from the .mills and operated until 1915 when rural delivery of mail came to the Auburn District. Business was thriving at both mills until the winter of 1911 when heavy snow storms hit the community and spring came suddenly; causing the snow to melt rapidly and the creek flooded and washed out the dam. This was the end of business in the Walkerburn area. The Walkerburn Club was formed at the home of Mrs. Colin Fingland and the first meeting was held on July 9, 1919 at the home of Mrs. Foster Wright. The officers elected were: president - Mrs. Walter Cunningham; vice-president - Miss Mary Patterson; secretary - Dora Scott and treasurer - Mrs. Bert Hunking. Convener of the social com- mittee was Mrs. Colin Fingland. Some of the members were: - Bessie Cunningham, Mrs. . B. flunking, Mrs. Rundle flunking, Mrs. Walter'Cunningham, Mrs. James Webster, Mrs. Jim Robertson, Mrs. William Patter- son, Mary Patterson, Mrs. Foster Wright, Mrs. Jackson, Margaret Jackson, Mrs, Melrose, Mrs. Raithby, Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Colin Fingland, Mrs. Clarence Cox, `Mrs. John Govier, Mrs: Archie Robinson, Luella Robinson and Dora Scott. When the Cluborganized, it was to help the Red Cross in Auburn as they needed supplies and money. Their motto was "Safety First". When the need for help was over, they re -made clothes and sent .them o the Neighbourhood Workers Association in Toronto. At this time, many quilts were also made and social events held to keep the ladies interested. In 1963, the Club members adopted a Korean orphan. They have been supporting orphans ever since and have always been ready to help someone in a community in need of help. These Walkerburn presidents served their community: Mrs. Walter Cunningham, Mrs. C. Cox, Mrs. Mary Robertson, Mrs. Archie Robinson, Mrs. Ernest Patterson, Mrs. George Schneider, Mrs. Elliott Lapp, Mrs.. Harold Stanbury, Mrs, Stewart Ament, Mrs. Jim McDougall, Mrs. Henry flunking, Mrs. Leonard Archambault, Mrs. Lorne Flunking, Mrs. Ed Honking, Mrs. Lloyd McClinchey, Mrs. Joseph Hunking, Mrs. Carmen Gross, Mrs. Tom Cunningham, Mrs. Ronald Gross, Mrs. Garth McClinchey, Mrs. Keith Lapp and Mrs. Lloyd Penfound. Two families have members of the third generation as members at present: - Cunningham - Mrs. Walter, Mrs. Guy and Mrs. Tom; also the Hunking family - Mrs. Rundle, Mrs. Bert and Mrs. William and Mrs. Henry and Mrs. Ed and Mrs. Bernice Norman. The club is very active, having regular meetings every fourth Thursday in the month with the officers being: co -presidents Mrs. Keith Lapp. and Mrs. Lloyd Penfound; secretary - Mrs. Elliott Lapp, assistant secretary - Mrs. Leonard Archambault; treasurer - Mrs. Garth McClinchey; and assistant Mrs. Edward Flunking. The members have made an autographed quilt to celebrate their 65th birthday and are selling tickets on this to help support their foster child and other projects. Invitations have been -sent ° to former members and their families, so if you were missed come along. Everyone is asked to • bring a dish for the first course, cutlery, • dishes and lawn chairs. Dessert and beverages ° will be . supplied by club members. In case of rain, the event will be held in the Hullett Central School. Social News .

Harold and Adeline Campbell and John and Dorothy Campbell are back from an European tour, which included -ten countries. One unique experience they enjoyed was a boat trip through the Blue Grotto, a cave under the Isle of Capri. • Said Adeline, "The opening to the cave was so small that, in order to get through it, we had to lie downas flat aspossible in,our boat just large enough for four passengers." Mrs. Luella Hall, Ruby Philp, Melda 1B1XTTANDA.RD ECU McElroy and Norman Garret were guests at the 55th wedding anniversary celebration of Dr. Charles and Laura Toll, at the summer home of their daughter, Jill Farrugia and son-in-law John, south of Bayfield.

Ushering 'at Blyth United Church,last Sunday were Stewart and Mildred Aent and Alma Madill. Grace Poore rendered a solo in fine soprano voice, with Margaret Kai accompanist. Rev. Ken Bauman, in his discourse on the parable of the sower, gave his listeners much food for thought. When people, Rev. Ken said, live totally on the human level, they have a difficult time fully comprehending the meaning of "seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand." Jack Whytock occupies the pulpit next Sunday. The Baumans are now on the remainder of their vacation. Oops! A big mistake in the account about Blyth's main street in last week's issue! I had Mary Holland tending theflowers around Memorial Hall for 10 years all by herself. Her solo performance, minus 1 or 2 timeswas for 4 years only.

Summer program ending By Chris Courtney The six-week summer recreation program, sponsored by Blyth Recreation Committee, comes to an end this week. The program, under the direction of Catherine Battye, assisted by Kim Babcock, has encompassed a variety of activities. The 65 children from ages three to 13 were split into two groups for activities. These activities included arts and crafts, sports, trips and special event days. Visitors .to Blyth looked rather strangely sometimes at the youngsters dressed up for "dress -up" •day parades, particularly the "punkers". The punk day brought out by far the most imaginative costumes. Stacey Elliott and Steve Souch won prizes for the most imaginative costumes. Punk day activities included a cherry pit spitting contest. Dean Bell managed to win by over 10 feet. The youngest group were entertained last week by a puppet. play, The Frog Prince, presented by the senior group. All puppets, and scenery were made at craft sessions. Many children are enjoying wearing their' new tie-dyed outfits. The last event will be a two-day campout at Benmiller. Plans have also been made to attend the Clinton Sports Day to be held on August 16. Pork producers to receive stabilization payments Both the Federal and Provincial governments have recently announced that they will be making payments from their stabilization programs to pork producers. 'Under the Federal Agricultural Stabilization Act (ASA) for hogs marketed between April 1, 1983 to March 31, 1984, a market hog producer will• receive $6.54 per hog marketed. Each producer is limited to the federal maximum of 12,000 hogs.•; Claim forms will be mailed to all producers who are registered with the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board. Payments under the Ontario Sow -Wearer Plan will be made to producer's who were. enrolled in period eight that covered the , period of October 1, 1983 to March 31, 1984. The Ontario Sow-Weaner Plan, which is based on Federal ASA slaughter hog data to ensure compatability with the federal program, makes payments to enrolled producers when'the price of slaughter hogs in asix-month period, plus any federal payments, falls below the 95 per cent ASA level. Under the'Ontario plan, payments for period eight to enrolled producers will be as follows: • 1. Weaner producers (those not marketing slaughter hogs) will receive $57.72 per sow enrolled. 2. Farrow -to -finish producers will be able to receive the full federal payment of $6.54 per hog marketed. A lesser payment than the $57.72 per sow will be made from the Sow-Weaner Plan to account for the payment received under the federal program. The amount of $4.36 times the number of hogs (maximum of 9.6 per sow enrolled) marketed during period 8 will .be deducted from the Provincial payment. The $4.36 is the difference between the 90% and 95% support levels. For example, a hog producer who registered 50 sows during period '8 of the Sow-Weaner Program and shipped 900 market hogs from April 1, 1983 to March 31, 1984 of which 450 were shipped during period 8, would receive $924.00.
