During the group's last meeting, Monday night, Melanie McLaughlin from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation discussed with members the status of Wintario and other grants that might have been ap-• plicable to their cause. She explained that Win- tario grants, which have been frozen for almost 11/2 years, may be under a new program by next April. "It is anybody's guess what this new program will look like." Because of this there is no way of telling whether or not the Bluevale group will be eligible for money from that source. However, there are still funds in a separate Wintario Community Grants program Haat can be, used to purchase recreational equipment. This one-time grant could be used to cover 50 per cent of Weekly euchre Eight tables of euchre were played last Wednesday evening at the W.I. Hall at the weekly euchre. Winners were: high lady, Mrs. Mildred Stewart; low lady, Mrs. Laurence Taylor: most lone hands ladies, Mrs. James Coultes and Mrs. Helen Martin; high man, James Coultes; low. man, Albert Bacon; most lone hands men, Kenneth e\Wheeler. S Bridge results Jean Whitby and Kay Forgie were in first place in Thursday's duplicate bridge garne. Will ` French and Omar Haselgrove came second, with Doris French and May Porter third and Yvonne McPherson and Mary Lloyd fourth. The games are continuing through May. Why not give duplicate bridge a try? Games start at 8 p.m.. Thurs- days in the fire hall. the cost for new equipment, such as ping-pong tables or chairs. "But, there are no guarantees that the grant will come through. You may find out in three to six months that there is no money available," she warned. Right now the allocation for this program is quite limited, she said, adding that for this region, which stretches from Tobermory to Windsor, there is only $10,000 left for the rest of 1980. Therefore the best bet is seemingly the Community Recreation Centre grant, which when applied for through the municipality covers 25 per cent of capital costs. She explained that Turnberry Township could pass a bylaw to become eligible for the grant and apply to the ministry before any money is spent on the project. After about one month approval should be granted and the group will be notified when money is available. Belmore. Linda Harkness and Daryl. Walker were united in marriage "on May 10 at McIntosh United Church. They will reside at Bluevale. A shower was held for Lynn Crowe recently at the home of Caroline and Julie Mulvey.

Mr. Malcolm is a son of Rev. George Malcolm and Mrs. Malcolm, the former Margaret Nimmo. He is a grandson of Mrs. Alexander Nimmo and the late , Dr. of Nimmo, formerly Wingham. The waiting period for the grant is currently 11/2 years. Although the waiting period seemed like a long time to many who attended the meeting, she assured them that once approval is given work on the hall can begin. But she warned that this program will cover only the costs of new additions to the building, not the repair. This could include a new ceiling, new washrooms, new fix- tures and insulation. So far, the Bluevale Chamber of Commerce, which has been raising money for the hall renovations for several months, has accumulated about $9,800. This money has been raised through bingos, draws, a variety show, two family and one teen dance and a craft and bake sale. The chamber's walk-a-thon, held last weekend, raised over $3,400 for the hall. Continuing efforts for the summer include several draws and a street dance, which will be sponsored by the recreation committee.

Rev. John G. Roberts conducted the service. Miss Sheila Anderson, pianist, and Mrs. George Procter, organist, presided for the prelude and service. The choir rendered "Father of .the Human Family" as their anthem. The scripture reading referred to the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. The people knew thegoodness of God; nevertheless God was not pleased with the result of their actions. The minister based his remarks on I Corinthians: Chapter 10:12 "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall". God's side of baptism • is 'a sign, he reaches out to us and -our children. Baptism is celebrated once and is never repeated. There 'is a demand on the parents, a Commitment, an engagement. Theirs is ; a commitment of faith. There is no shield placed around the child by baptism. We could deny our own baptism; could forget our com- mitment and our respon- sibilities. The order of baptism as presented in- the 'Service Book' was used to receive Kendra Jennifer, .daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim D. Leishmand; Wayne Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Fenton and Heather Lynne daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Keller' into the. church. 6th Annual Grand Ole Opry Stars Concert and Dance Tommy Cash ® B%//y Jo Spears at the Howick Community Centre Highway No. 87 (Between Wingham and Harriston) Saturday, June 7 C® E T 7:30-0:30! 7 30.8 30 Tommy Cosh & The Tomcats Followed by Cour try 8:30-9:30 Billie Jo Spears & Band DANCE AND LUNCH 11 30.1 00 Billie Jo Spears & Band 100 TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE 10.11.,30 Tommy Cosh & The Tomcats L dean PRICE: CONCERT ONLY Adults $5.00 each Children 12 and under $2 00 each ADVANCE CONCERT AND DANCE $11.00 each $12.00 at the door CALL 342 Nr�#���1 �a 315-7)45 (e ",nir9-g ) BY LORRAINE JOHN WVhitechurch Visiting with Mr. and Mrs. John deBoer are her brother, K.
