Kettlewell CLINTON-Everyone who has ever visited rural French Canadian, or ancient Euro- pean towns, recalls the joyful sounds of church bells summoning worshippers to morning service, or to - proclaim festive holidays. The sound of St. Paul's historic bell ringing in the New Year must surely have awakened nostalgic memories for peo- ple who have thrilled to the sound of bells in other parts of the world where bell ringing has been traditional for centuries. This pleasant old custom was renewed last year in Clinton to mark the beginning of celebrations of the -150th anniversary of St. Paul's Anglican Church. On that blustery New Year's Eve the bell was -rung 85 times. • To welcome the arrival of 1986, it was rung 86 times. The service at St. Paul's on January, 5 marked the Feast of the Epiphany, com- memorating the visit of the Wise Men to Bethlehem.

The new 4-H project "Etiquette for the '80s" offers members an upbeat look at getting along with friends, family, with the opposite sex, at banquets and in restaurants. Participants will learn how to relate to people and situations, using guidelines for dealing with different situations.
