This was the an- nual .,vont sponsored by the people of the UnitOd•Qhurch in Exeter. A large number of resid ats. were on hand for the outing. Th toui? took them along many scenic 0140Of Which the people of Huron County nlayell be proud of. Residents thanked the drivels for their time and generosity. The final senior citizen day was held on June 17. Mary Gibbings welcomed the guests and introduced the performers. Several groups and clubs from the area were here. The auditorium was packed to its capacity when friends gathered to exchange greetings, and enjoy the afternoon with one another. The entertainment was excellent, and the proof of this was the generous applause from the audience. Marie Flynn and the Huron Strings were kept very busy as they played many old tunes, the favorites that brought back a lot of memories. As well, they acknowledged numerous requests. Wayne McClinchey was on the program arid his solos with guitar accompaniment were refreshing. Arnold Craig who is no stranger to Huron - view, played some tunes on the violin. He also accompanied Shelly and Sherry Good who captured their audience with the in- tricate routine of the dance program of waltz, clog and reel. Please keep in mind the date of July 20 7 p.m: in the Goderich Lions Harbour Park. At that time you will hear and see The Coun- try Companions, Huron Strings and Step Dancers, as they take part in Country and Western Night. Consult your calender for all the other fine performers who will be enter- taining in the park during the summer months. The June birthday party took place on June 18 and again there was a full house for this event. Mary Gibbings welcomed everyone then introduced Everett Mcllwain chairman. The Holmesville Group was in charge of the program. A humorous recitation was given by Bert McCreath, followed by a sing -a -song led by Red Garon. A trumpet solo was played by Jackie Norman and accompanied at the piano by Charlotte Norman. Charlotte also played for Jackie who sang two solos. Something different and well done were the mouthorgan selections played by Mom and Dads. Mary Stirling was commentator for an unique fashion show which got a lot of ap- plause from the audience. Mary introduced the models and described in full detail their gowns and accessories. The costumes were the fashion trend of the era, and Blanche Deeves explained that duplicate copies of the gowns were readily available and the cost minimal. The "models" incidentally, were a fine energetic group of men from the Holmesville area. At the conclusion of the concert, refreshments were served. The monthly meeting of Bible Study, with Shirley Prouty in charge, took place in the chapel on June 19. A poem was read by Mrs. Prouty followed by prayers offered by Olive Colwell and 1VVabel Scott. A devotional reading yds gi byildred Marwick. assie s5,ea inert,,, 1,4 KELLY GOOD Mrs. Prouty chose for her message, She Touched The Hem of His Garment. The pupils and teachers of the HUG group met with the "adopted grandparents" on June 20 and drove to the farm of Ron Beuer- mann where they spent the morning. Hostesses were Gail Beuermann and her mother Elsie. The long Maple -tree lined driveway brought participants up to the house and barns surrounded by gorgeous landscaping. Christie, the horse, was very generous and patient in letting the kids ride her around the yard. They also got a ride in a '57 white Impala and sporting a musical horn. The car is the pride and joy of Mr. Beuermann and never out of the garage during winter months. The dog, Bear, was a going con- cern, and right on hand whenever a vehicle moved, so he wouldn't be left behind. When Bear's mother died, he was three -days -old, and Mrs. Beuermann raised him on a bottle. Is it any wonder that he holds a special place in the hearts of the Beuermanns. Residents also had a tour of the cattle barn and a firsthand view of the cattle fat- tening up for market. Attending the farm tour from Huronview were Belle Campbell, Grace Duggan, Phyllis Connell, Ivan McNabb, Frank Bissett and Jane Ladd with driver Norm Gowing. Hot dogs and ham- burgers hot from the grill with trimmings, topped off a super morning. Roman Catholic Mass. was held June 20 in the chapel with Rev. John Pluta in charge. On the weekend, a party was held for 'Irer� Britnell of Park Place. Irene is going to Exeter to live in the new resident nome recently opened there. Ernie Appleton and Olga McWilliams are also moving to Exeter. Residents and staff welcome to Huron - view Verna Harris of Clinton and Charlotte Bell from Blyth. Sympathy is extended to the family of the late Jim Wilson. Goderich Township's Enterprising Seniors put on a very memorable show for the Huron - view residents on June 18. Stories, singing and a humorous fashion show highlighted the event with Blanche Deeves donning an appropriate outfit. The other models were males, but they showed off ladies' spring fashions.

Thompson Clerk CLINTON NEWS RECORD WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, ::)4. 6 –Pagv 5 Canada to celebrate ii9th birthday By Tony Carlson Birthdays roll around with frightening speed for those of us who are, shall we say, comfortably above the age of majority. But for a country, especially one with the peculiar problems of Canada, every addi- tional notch in the belt must be seen as a proud event in a world where almost everything is transitory. Before you can say "summer's here", Canada will be able to count 119 rings on her own maple tree. It's not one of those anniversaries that at- tracts a lot of attention, like the Centennial Year, although there are similarities. Just as Expo 67 caught our imagination 19 years ago, all the signs look good for Vancouver's 1986 fair. But it does provide the opportunity to reflect a bit on what holds this country together. It's not a new thought to pointout that this country is a geographical hodgepodge. Just as a bumble bee, by all that's logical, should not be able to fly, nor should a country so far-flung, so sparsely populated, be able to stick together. Most of us don't have a chance to know the whole country well. But we do recognize the regional and cultural differences that have existed since before the Plains of Abraham.. It comes as no surprise, hien, to learn that small businesses in different regions have different problems. In recent monitoring of its members, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business found just that. Across the nation, total tax burden was fingered as the most important problem of small business. This was particularly true in Quebec, the Atlantic provinces — especially Nova Scotia — and Saskat- chewan, all of which were well above the norm. But Quebec business worried even more about the red tape that befogs their economic climate, more than any province - Manitobans feel the pressure from the double whamnny of taxes and paperburden, Business slower than normal is a top con- cern in 'British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta. But it raises relatively little outcry in any other province, except Newfoundland. New Brunswlekers are hotter than anyone about unfair business practices b i big sup- pliers and competitors. In Ontario, where times are relatively good, one of the prime topics is the shortage of qualified labor. Different regions, different problems. But one country. There's much debate and doubt about what Canada is, what defines a Canadian. But on one point, there's agreement: whatever else Canada may be, it is a success. And that's a little bit of a miracle, isn't it. Booksales scheduled for the summer HURON COUNTY - One of the most popular summer events at the Huron County branch libraries is the annual booksale. Library booksales are always popular and well attended by county residents. There may be some questions among library patrons concerning how and who decides when a library book is designated for a booksale. After all, it is their tax dollars which support the library and purchase the books. Discarding worn, outdated and unused books, or "weeding" the collection as the process is aptly called, is an important part of maintaining a useful, viable library col- lection. Reading tastes change and science books become outdated. The rock star whose biography was in hot demand a few years ago has long since been replaced by newer idolshere will always be beloved classics that endure from one generation to the next, but even these must be discarded and replaced when worn from years of handling. Books in poor physical condition, or which haven't circulated for three years, are prime candidates for discarding. Weeding out these books makes the library collection less cluttered and more attractive as well. as freeing limited shelf space for newer, popular. books. - Branch staff carefully weed their collec- tions by examining each book to decide if it should be discarded. These books are then examined and approved by the Chief Librarian before the final decision to discard is made. Patarons need not be concerned that copies of unique books are being discarded and lost forever. The Huron County Library is conscientious in its role of preserving old, out -of -print and Canadian materials. When the last copy of any novel or biography is. discarded, it is offered to the Ontario Joint Fiction Reserve and the Ontario Biography Reserve (OFR/BR) at the Barrie office of t .w erry social at Queensway HENSALL - Everyone at the Queensway Nursing Home is looking forward to the Strawberry Social, on June 26. It is hoped the seniors of Hensall will be attending to help celebrate Seniors' Month. There will be lots of entertainment while seniors sit down • to strawberries, cake and ice cream., Things have been quite busy at Queensway this past week. The church ser- vice this week was performed by Rev. Robert Matheson. The pianist was Evelyn Horn. The Christian Refomed Ladies took several residents out for a car ride on June 18. Everyone really enjoys this activity. Later that evening, the activity room was full as residents and guests came to see the movie presentation entitled Spring Time In Holland. The major event or the week was the Bowl -A -Rama at Town and Country Bowling Lanes during the afternoon of June 19. Thir- ty bowlers, made up of residents, families, volunteers and staff, competed for the high score of the day. The winner of the high score prize was Albert Miazga while Aleida Kats captured the prize for the lowest score of the day. After the fun afternoon at the bowling lanes, residents returned to Queensway for refreshments and the final score results were announced. Everyone had a wonderful time. Special thanks to volunteers for being such terrific helpers and teammates. Residents and staff of Queensway wish to welcome Esther Gill to the home. They also welcome back Laura Justice from her stay in the hospital. Ontario Library Service - Trent. The OJF/BR was established in 1972 as a co- operative effort among Ontario libraries to preserve the last copies of fiction and biographies being discarded by public libraries. The reserve collects two copies, in good condition, of each title in either English or French. In addition to participating in OJF/BR, the Huron County .Library maintains a special Canadiana collection at its head- quarters in Goderich to preserve older Canadian books. Booksales are a lot of extra work for library staff but the Friends of the Library groups help out in Wingham, Goderich and Exeter. The Friends of the Library in Ex- eter are a recent addition. Booksale funds remain at the branch library where the booksale vias held. Need- ed library equipment and supplies, such as a paperback rack or cupboards, have been purchased with booksale proceeds. Everyone is invited to attend upcoming library booksales this summer. You may find the perfect book for rainy day reading at the cottage. It is also a great opportunity to pick up something to store away for those stormy days next winter. The Clinton, Ex- eter and Seaforth Branches will be holding their annual booksales in August and the Wingham Branch is planning theirs. for Oc- tober. The exact dates aren't set, so check the local papers for future announcements.
