Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1985-5-1, Page 17f Ladies to held auction sale By Helen Owen On May 2, at 2 p.m. the ladies of Trinity Anglican Church Women's group will be holding an auction sale in the Parish Hall. This is not the first time, and those who have attended before will recall the fun, not to mention the bargains, - all part of the afternoon's entertainment. The proceeds go to work in the mission field, and therefore, the ladies;are anxious that the sale should be a success. Items donated for auction should . be brought to the Parish Hall on Thursday morning from 10 a.m. ( you have to go out to vote that day, in any event). Don't be shy about contributing, and remember some of those items you have tucked away, not perhaps just right for your decor, or duplicates, may be just the things that other people are looking for. We have already been promised some quality items, so maybe it will be an opportunity to find an unusual gift - you can never start your Christmas shopping too early! At the end of the proceedings you will be refreshed with tea and it is hoped that once again, there will be strong support for this venture. Diamond -being mov( d By Doris Hunter The Recreation Committee is moving ahead with a very expensive but necessary project, the moving of the baseball dia- mond, to allow for the installation of lights. There will be a new back stop, fences at the first and third line and bleachers, which will be a permanent fixture and of course the lights, essential for evening games. It is a very big endeavour and Joan Cluff and her committee have come up with some very good ideas to raise the necessary money. Baseball is such a popular game in town, we certainly need the facilities and the in- terest of the community, that means a cheering section, especially the junior games. One of their fund-raising methods is the monthly lottery. There are a limited number of tickets sold actually no more than 200. You have good odds to win the $50 monthly draw and at the end of the 12 mon- ths, a chance at first, second and third prizes of, $200, $100 and $50, that's 15 draws for only $12, and all the money goes to one of Hayfield's most popular activities. There are a few tickets left, get yours now. Clinton euchre CLINTON - The Monday Afternoon Euchre was held April 29 at the town hall with several winners recorded.

Arch Grant of Sydney, Australia has been asked to speak at the event. Rev. Grant is a retired minister of the Presbyterian Church and and a friend of Rev. Jim Bechtel of Wesley -Willis Church. The Australian snent much of his. time in a parish covering 160,000 square miles in the Australian inlands. The young Rev Brant, accompanied by his wife, accepted a call as a patrol padre to Tennant Springs, a mining town which Gould "provide the scenario for an American wild west show." There was a telegraph and twice weekly air service but not a phone'. The only way out of the settlement was on a two wheel track which led to Alice Springs 300 miles away. It was often washed out during the wet season and unpassable even to pack horses. "Patrol padres had to have a well equip - Ped vehicle, specially modified. They had long range petrol tanks, plenty of water and any spare parts that might be needed. "The problem is the tremendous distance. And the problem for inexperienced people is water." Once a man was found around noon after he abandoned his vehicle at about 2 a.m. He was without water during that time and he died in less than 12 hour's from dehydration. "Unless you know what you're doing, it is a very dangerous country." The inlands were developing as the Australian frontier territory during that 1reit (:rant time. Skipper Partridge and John Flynn were names associated with working to pro- vide a "mantle of safety" over the inlands around Alice Springs and Oodnadatta. The two towns were the only places for medical care until the pair established a network of pedal radios which finally gave the people at the cattle stations and in the 355 mL SUPER SPECIAL FROZEN 3 VARIETIES255 g LEAN CUISINE 2.99 STARKIST SOLID WHITE TUNA dN WATER 7 oz.

A contract was negotiated with an airline for the use of a plane to transport patients and doctors: the " oyatl Flying Doctor Ser- vice was born. Several nursing hurries each staffed with two nurses for patients with longer term maladies were set up and the Australian in - lands had a measure of medical protection. Rev. Grant knew both these men, legends of the Australian frontier, while he was a patrol padre. His respect for Skipper Partridge resulted in Rev. Grant writing a book about the man who worked to try to upgrade the spiritual and physical conditions of the hardy residents. "I felt his was a story which should be told," said the Australian of this decision to write the book. The proceeds from the book sales, which doesn't have "a wide circula- tion but reviewers and readers have liked it", have been directed to a museum dedicated to John Flynn. The museum in Alice Springs was the first hospital designed by Rev. Flynn for the' climatic conditions, including a built in cool- ing system. The hospital was later turned into a hostel for the women of the bush. They would go to the hospital about a month before the baby was due and stay about a month after birth to ensure complications wouldn't develop. Then they would return to'the remote cattle stations and mining towns in which they liv- ed. His success with this first volume has pro- mpted hirn to write another on the church in Darwin, a coastal city to the north of Alice Springs. The research is currently being completed, temporarily interrupted by this trip to North America and Europe. The Grants now live in Dee Why, a seaside suburb of Sydney and a popular surfing site. Although he is now retired Rev. Grant is busy sharing the Australian past with readers .on that dry continent and those abroad, keeping alive some of the exciting events and interesting people of days gone by , Another project for architect The firm of C.A: Ventin Architects of Sim- coe, has been appointed chief projectar- chitect responsible for leading the design and construction phases of the Lawrence House restoration. Through a $500,000 cor- porate contribution by Suncor Inc., the 93 - year -old Lawrence .House in Sarnia will be restored as a cultural centre for young peo- ple in the community. "Vention'•s experience in the restoration and renovation of historically important - ,buildings was an important factor in the . firm's - appointment to the Lawrence House;" says Walter Petryschuk, manager, Suncor Sarnia Refinery. '- Two of Ventin's first major restoration projects are located in the firm's hometown of Simcoe'. In 1974, C.A. Ventin Architects undertook restoration of the former Camp • - bell/Reid residence ( circa 1851) to accom- modate the Lynnwood Arts Centre, an art gallery and cultural centre. Shortly after. - ward, renovations and an addition to the . former Norfolk County Courthouse (circa 1863) were completed to provide new municipal offices for the Town of Simcoe. Since 1974, numerous other architecturally and historically significant buildings situated throughout southwestern Ontario have been restored by C.A. Ventin Ar- chitects including the Clinton Town Hall - Library in 1982-'83 and the Benmiiler Inn River Mill in 1977. Restoration of the Lawrence House is be- ing managed by, a restoration committee with representation from Suncor, the City of Sarnia and the Sarnia Public Library and Art Gallery. Upon completion, responsibili- ', • ty for management of the ,centre will rest with the Sarnia Library Board. Suncor's contribution to the Lawrence House marks the completion of the • upgrading of the company's Sarnia refinery in 1984 and Suncor's involvement in the Sar- nia community for more than 30 years. , BUYING AN ANNUITY?
