Mystery supper served
By Mary Chessell
VARNA - The Youth Group and senior
Sunday school students of the Varna and
Goshen Churches served 50 guests a
Mystery Supper,on Friday. It was the most
unusual supper. Diners orders from a menu
that read Barbara's Sandbox, Pig's Delight,
Popeye's Nephew, Porky Pig's Fear,
Satan's Crackleberry, etc. If you misinter-
preted the menu, you could be served peas
and a toothpick for hors d'oeuvres, a dill
pickle and apple crisp minus silverware for
the entree, or ham and a roll for dessert.
All's well that ends well, anything could
be ordered after the fun was over. Judging
by the noise, the guests were having a great
time, and no one left hungry, in fact the food
was good.
Barbara Ann Parker supervised the meal,
assisted by Pat and Lorraine Taylor, and
Bonnie Roy also gave a hand to tidy up.
Varna United Church Women were pleas-
ed with the attendance at their dessert
euchre on April 8. There were 24 tables in
play, and lots of delicious dessert, plus a
good selection of baking. Floyd McAsh
entertained during lunch with piano music.
Deb Rathwell welcomed the guests and
announced the prize winners. The high prize
for euchre was won by Bill Caldwell of Clin-
ton, the low by Pauline McBride of
Goderich. Barbara Ann Parker had the
most lone hands. Door prizes went to Karen
Hendrick, Agnes Carbert, Elaine Stephen-
son, Oliver Price, Marjorie Caldwell,
Evelyn McBeath, Helen Taylor, Andy Riehl,
Pat Taylor, Maude Weston, Louise Ivan-
chenko, Rachel Johnston, Mildred McAsh,

The Second Annual Stanley Township
Poker Rally and Canoe Race on April 12 had
almost as many entries (25) as last year, in
spite of the steady drizzle. Tyndall's Bridge,
on the second concession, was the starting
point. Prize winners were Ben Rathwell
($501, Scott Kirton ($25) and Rick Ingram
I $10,. There were also 40 draw prizes.
The committee hopes everyone will return
for next year's rally. They would like to ex-
press their deep appreciation to those who
contributed draw prizes or assisted in other
ways.
There will be Communion at 8 p.m. un
Maundy Thursday and a Good Friday Ser-
vice at 11 a.m. in Varna United Church.
Lioness hear about
work in epilepsy
By Helen Owen
The Bayfield Lioness met on April 8 in the
community centre with six guests present.
Following the dinner, Marj Vere, a
representative from Epilepsy, Ontario Mid -
West [legion, presented a film. In her ac-
companying remarks she stressed that 80
per cent of epilepsy victims are children
with some 2-4 per cent of the population af-
fected, and the condition is known mairly as
a seizure disorder.
Among the causes she mentioned injury,
scar tissue stemming from the brain,
strokes and drug abuse, and she noted that
wearing of seat belts had proved of benefit
in minimizing accident trauma. However.
another positive note was the fact that
epileptic seizures could be controlled with
medication.
In support, the club voted to donate $100 to
the cause, and it was agreed that the
Bayfield Lioness would man a booth selling
gladioli at the fall fair in August, the pro-
ceeds to go as further support for the same
project. Mrs. Vere stressed the urgent need
for funds to support epilepsy, the motto for
which is The Same As Everyone Else.
Correspondence included invitations to at-
tend different club activities. Lioness Kay
McLead is looking after the arrangements
for a bus trip to the Geritol Follies in June,
Lion Ross Merrill had written requesting
volunteers to canvass the village for the new
hospital wing in Clinton.
