BLUEVALE—Eager to get togeth-
er again after the summer break, 53
persons waltzed joyfully into the
Bluevale Community Hall, each
carrying a contribution of good
food for the potluck dinner which
began the fall season. All were
warmly welcomed by the commit-
tee in charge: Margaret and Jack
Fischer, Donna and Mel Craig and
Alice Elliott. Beautiful floral
arrangements adorned the tables.
President Jack Fischer chaired the
meeting. Following the business
and his rendition of a poem entitled
"Eighty", he introduced the guests
of the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Mau-
rice Audet of Palmerston, who,
with interesting and humorous
comments, presented excellent
slides of the lifestyle and customs
in Hong Kong and China.
Of special interest was the evi-
dence of great throngs of seemingly
happy, healthy people everywhere,
the hills, the sea, magnificent har-
bour, as well as beautiful rural
scenes bounded by towering moun-
tains. The valleys show a slower
pace of quiet life, peace and tran-
quility and at the large ports and on
the rivers in the southern
provinces, is found a large floating
population living entirely in boats.
As a result of the euchre which
followed, prizes were awarded for
high scores to Margaret Mundell
and Milton Boyd; for low, Mar-
guerite Fischer `fplaying as a man)
and Edith Garniss; for lucky draw,
Beryl Mowbray and Bob Fraser.
Upcoming events with the Blue -
vale seniors will be an open card
party on Oct. 9 at 8 p.m.; a public
dance on Oct. 13 and the regular
monthly meeting on Oct. 30 at 8
p.m.

and jigs, along with the ever popu-

Value of Christian videotapes
discussed at J.O.Y. meeting
The value of Christian videotapes
for children was the theme of a pre-
sentation made by Nancy Van-
derveen, Wingham, at the Septem-
ber J.O.Y. Unlimited meeting held
at St. Andre*V,s Presbyteria
Church last" -k eek. • r ' '
A videotape produced by Family

seed -cleaning plant
FORDWICH—Members of the
Women's Institute travelled by car
to the Alec and Jim Connell Farms
Inc. These two brothers grow regis-
tered seed of barley, oats, wheat
and soybeans. These crops are
cleaned thoroughly, then stored and
delivered to farmer customers.
The Connell brothers have 16-18
hundred acres, most of it workable.
The crops are harvested and
' cleaned with a large machine. Each
segment of the process was
explained.
The farmers also keep approxi-
mately 500 head of calves and year-
lings. Much of the soybean harvest
is shipped to Japan where they are
a delicacy, prepared in their way. A
farmer was unloading a truck of
grain while the WI members were
there and they were treated to a
warm drink. The hosts were
thanked for an informative tour
and the WI members returned to
the hall.
Mrs. Gerald Kennedy led devo-
tions and roll call was "What can I
do to help Canada retain blue skies
and green grass?". The motto,
"Like the bee we should make our
seedtime and harvest our enjoy-
ment", was ably written by Mrs. R.
Ruttan. She spoke of the hard-
working bee which gathers honey
for the hive and compared it to a
person gathering the harvest, can-
ning and freezing, so inthe winter-
time, one can enjoy the fruits of his
labors.
Fordwich Institute will cater for
two hot meals at the Howlkk-` irn-
it
berry Fall Fair Oct. 6 and 7 at noon
each day. The WI is sponsoring a

competition

emphasize the need for programs
of a character -building, faith -pro-

Leslie Martin, leader of J.O.Y.,
