This special day was enjoyed by everyone present, and we at Huronview, wish to extend our congratulations. Marie Flynn and the Huron Strings provided an hour of old time music. Some tunes of bygone days and some of the newer ones were played and held everyone's interest at heart. Reverend Gordon Simmons, assisted by Stu Taylor, conducted A,1glican Communion on Feb. 12. Frank Bissett presided at the organ. Feb. 13, what a busy day it was. A fashion show of wedding gowns and a mock wedding were presented to quite an interested au- dience. The gowns dating back to 1908 up to 1984, were gorgeous and no doubt today, would cost a pretty penny. Some of the ladies modelled their own dresses, while others were worn by staff members. John McTaggart and Stu Taylor escorted the ladies down the walkway, and Gladys Van Egmond played appropriate piano music for this event. We wish to thank the following people for their assistance: Mary's Sewing Centre, and Mary Divok who was the com- mentator, K.C. Cooke Florist for the candelabra, and Bartliff's Bakery for the wedding cake model. Members of staff pro- vided the amusement for the mock wedding. It was an hilarious affair and certainly got a lot of laughs from tite audience. • St. Valentine's Day was extra special as Dix ie Lee dinner was served to residents and staff Thursday noon. This proved such a popular event, everyone couldn't be accom- modated, so many had dinner on Friday. ' The Huronview chapel service was held on Thursday, with Mrs. Prouty in charge and who a1se led in the singing of hymns. Mrs. Prouty led everyone in prayer. Elsie Henderson played for the hymn -sing, follow- ed by prayer and requests. Margaret Mc- Queen and Elsie Henderson sang a duet ac- companied at the organ by Frank Bissett. A Valentine social was held and a lunch of tarts, squares, tea and hot chocolate was graciously served by Mr. and Mrs. Prouty. A warm welcome is extended to Mr. John Craig from the Brussels area, who has come to live at Huronview. To the family of the late Mrs. Ida Col- eman, sympathy is expressed. Lions honor Scottish poet CLINTON - The stormy evening of February 12, could not dampen the en- thusiasm or keep away approximately 75 die-hard Robbie Burns fans at the annual Clinton Lions Club Burns Dinner. ' The dinner had originally been scheduled for January 22, howeim1 it had to be cancell- ed because of the severe storm in Huron County. However the evening went ahead as planned on February 12th and it was a great success. The evening started with a social hour at the Legion in Clinton and. prior to the delicious meal, the people enjoyed the an- nual ritual of the piping in of the Haggis. This event was performed admirably led by Piper Glen McGregor, Tim Collyer, Glen Price and Chuck Wilson. The Address to a Haggis was carried out by Beecher Menzies followed by the • roast beef dinner prepared . by the Legion ladies. Following dinner was ''the introduction of the head table, followed by a sing-siQng of several good Scottish .. numbers. DalnSteyn proposed a toast to the •Lassies which was replied 'to by Jane Groves on their behalf. The guest speaker for the evening was originally scheduled to be Father Nelligan however due to a death of a close friend at the last moment, he had to cancel: However he was capably replaced by Beecher Men- zies who gave a very informative history on the life and times of Scotland's favorite son, Robbie Burns. He was introduced by Steve Fraser and thanked by Eugene McAdam, Prior to the speech and immediately following the audience was treated to some very fine highland dancing performed by Barbara Ellen McLeod accompanied by Piper Glen McGregor. The evening drew to a close with the traditional singing of Auld Lang Syne and some highland dancing by several of the guests in attendance. The Lions Club also wish to remind you that they are still accepting donations to the Ethiopian African Relief Fund and you may make your tax deductable donation at the Royal bank branch in Clinton or mail your cheque to -Box 655, Clinton.
