There was an opportunity to visit Sochi, a popular resort on 'the Black Sea. Here bikinis were worn by all the women regardless of age or size! Quite an eye opener. In this area beautiful homes had been retained and were now used to provide holiday accommodation for workers, or for - convalescence. Stalingrad, now called Volgograd, was of particular interest because of the part it played in world war II and the heroism and suffering of that period is marked by im- pressive monuments and memorials. Tribute to heroes in many of the places Parents visited was a theme repeated over and over. Mr. Oakes described the hotels in which they stayed as being large, clean and well- equipped and he was most impressed by the fire precautions which included the provi- sion of masks in every room to combat smoke inhalation. Another interesting item was the presence of a "key lady" on every floor. During the course of their visit the Oakes had an opportunity of attend a civic wedding and observe the customs associated with it. ' The final days were spent in Moscow, an enormous city encircled by a ring road hav- ing 16 lanes. Here the party were entertain- ed at a banquet and enjoyed the hospitality of their hosts. One other thing that recurred again and again in Mr. Oakes presentation and in the slides which he presented was the proliferation of flowers, in the markets, hotels, on the memorials and at the wedding. The evening provided the audience with a view of a life style and ideology so un- familiar to the Western world. *** Thank you to the Bayfield Lions who, this week presented a beautiful poinsettia to the residents of Clan Gregor apartments. encouraged to avoid war toys Sunday, November 30 is designated as In- ternational Day Against War Toys an ad- mirable concept and one which it is hoped will encourage parents and grandparents to consider alternatives. Peer presst a and concentrated advertizing are bound to in- fluence -children, but a concerted effort to avoid the purchase of such playthings would no doubt snake the necessary impact on manufacturers as to their undersirability. * * * St. Andrew's United Church reminds the congregation that next Sunday, December 7 is White Gift Sunday, and gifts should be marked to facilitate distribution to the right age group.

Recreation Committee At the meeting of the Recreation Commit- tee last week,' chairman Joan Cluff, reported that money was still coming in for the Ball Diamond Lights. The china plate painting course, a new venture, was proving successful.

Aubrey Bell. This was followed by a pot luck luncheon, acid then the ladies present sat down to consider the amalgamation of the ACW and the Guild. Both groups have work- ed very hard over the years, the former to support missionary efforts, and the latter Trinity Church and its needs. It was moved and approved that the amalgamation should take place and become operative as from January 1, 1987. Nominations to select officers then followed and between now and the first meeting the executive will have time to formulate pro- cedures, plans and programmes designed to embrace their common concerns. g Sp rin Fair was once close showing for the fourth consecutive year a very sizeable profit which has enabled them to operate without a bank loan, the first time in a great number of years. The slate of officers for 1987 are: Presi- dent, Ron McKay; 1st Vice -President, Paul Wheeler; 2nd Vice -President, Robert Snell; Secretary -Treasurer, Ken Holmes. Preparations for the 1987 Spring Fair are CLINTON - On November 25, 1981, the Clinton News -Record published the follow- ing: Outgoing President states that the Huron Central Agricultural Society (Clinton Spring Fair) may have to fold. At the Society's annual meeting held November 27, 1986, a favorable financial statement was presented to the directors Undertaking such a step is not easy but looking through old minute books and reading of the dedication and effort which has involved so many ladies over the years indicates the firm resolution which has directed their activities, and since many of the same people will be shouldering a share of the latest combined -project, surely sug- gests that the endeavours and loyalty will not he diminished, rather enhanced. to folding now underway with the Demolition Derby already in place and plans to have the ATV Super Motocross Races on Saturday night. A spring dance on May 30th is also being planned with outstanding name entertain- ment under negotiation. Looks like another exciting and hopefully profitable 133rd An- nual Clinton Spring Fair.
