Church News Communion was observed at Christ Anglican Church, Port Albert at the afternoon service Sunday. The Reverend Robert. Crocker conducted the service. Slow Pitch In the slo pitch semi-finals Monday, there was an ex- citing game under the lights at Dungannon, the Port Albert Pirates edging the strong Kinloss team 23 - 21. Wednesday under the lights at Lucknow in a real see -saw battle, the Port Albert Pirates were the win- ners by one run, Pirates 10 - Kinloss 9. Beating the Kinloss team twice last week put the Pirates in the finals with their neighbour to the north, Kingsbridge. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon as the Kingsbridge team and the Pirates took to the field, in the best three out of five. Kingsbridge is known for fielding a strong team and experienced little dif- ficulty in beating the Pirates 7-3. The next game will be at Dungannon under the lights Monday. Third game will be in Dungannon under the lights Wednesday. If a fourth game is necessary, it will be played next Sunday after- noon in Port Albert. 'Birds The village crow, which was brought to the village by Roy Bellinger several weeks ago due to falling out of the nest in. Goderich, had the misfortune to injure its right leg. However, it seems to be improving and seems quite active in a certain area of the village. It appears to be very fond of Roy Bellinger who brought it home when it was quite young. Other crows will have nothing to do with it and occasionally you will see birds chase it. It flies around in a small area and occasionally you will see it looking down a neighbour's chimney. The other night while talking to Roy Bell- inger, it landed on his head. It is definitely very fond of Roy. Robins have been gone for some time now. The King Birds are not being observed this past week. The pro- gnosticators say it's an omen of a cold autumn. Sunday afternoon, a flock of ducks was observed flying west over the village at 5:30 p.m. Roy Bellinger of Port Albert, a Conservation Of- ficer for the Wingham District, with Mike Malhiot, District Biologist from the Wingham office, Friday evening attended a dinner meeting of Ducks Unlimited held at Wonderland Gardens in London. The meeting was well attended. Ducks Unlimited is a very active group in the USA and Canada. An area well known to most of us which they pre maintain is. the Iiullett Wildlife Management Area, Clinton. A large flock of geese was observed flying over the village at 8;15 p.m.. Friday night. This flock,' was observed in the down town area of Port Albert Saturday morning. Perhaps they are feeding in this area. Barber Shop Friendliness In the downtown area of Goderich there is a barber shop which opens its door at 6 a.m. on a Saturday and when the barber turns the key in the door, it is not unusual for three or four of the faithfuls to be waiting to get their hair cut. What makes a man leave his warm bed and travel downtown at that hour? Does he want to get his hair cut with little or no waiting? In today's society we find barber shops closing their doors. Some just open cer- tain days of the week. The one in downtown Goderich is busy all day and every day except Wednesday when it is closed. Visit this barber shop a couple of times as a new customer and after these visits when you return, you will be greeted by your first name. Barber shops can be places of interest and I believe the local shop is just that. As an occasional visitor, I am always im- pressed by the friendliness of the staff You Can Deal With Confidence Deliver your White' Bans to ar-P1 weltment FEEDS SEEDS +Ri.
