Cooper, Mount Clemens, Michigan, is spending a few days at his village residence on Clan Gregor Square. Mr. Rick Westlake, London, visited Saturday and Sunday with his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd A. Westlake and Paul. Nice to see Dr. Bill Tillmann of London at his home in the village on Sunday. Miss Winnifred Armstrong, Toronto; Miss Julia Armstrong, Mohawk College, Hamilton and Mr. James Armstrong, Ridgetown, Agricultural College, all were home for the weekend with their parents, Mr. & Mrs. W.D. Armstrong, RR 3, Bayfield. Mr. & Mrs. William Reid of Grimsby were registered guests at the Albion Hotel for the weekend and on Saturday evening attended the 25th Anniversary celebration of his cousins, Mr. & Mrs. Arnold Makins. The Thorndike -Barnhart Comprehensive Desk Dictionary defines "normal" as usual and desirable. It was most unusual this Monday, morning, February 7, that our youngsters boarded the bus to take them to school, however, it certainly was desirable on the part of most parents anyway. Thus things are back to normal, so the saying goes, after so many days off school due to the weather. Mrs. Maude Sturgeon visited several days with her son Gerald and Family in Preston. We extend congratulations to Arnold and Ruth Makin, who on Saturday celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary. Mr. Brian Makin, Toronto, and Mr. & Mrs. Dennis Miskie of Goderich were home for the weekend and present with Bonnie to honour their parents at a party in their honour. Mrs. Lorraine Telford, daughter Julia and son Scott of Simcoe, were home for the funeral of the former's father, the late Mr. William Talbot. Our sympathy goes out to his family and all his relatives in their bereavement. Anniversary Bayfield Community Center was packed to capacity on Saturday evening, February 5, 1977 when relatives and friends gathered to honour Mr. & Mrs. Arnold Makins on the occasion of their Silver wedding an- niversary. The couple were married in Hamilton Road Presbyterian Church in London on February 9, 1952. Mrs. Makins is the former Ruth Hazel Wright, a daughter of Mr. & Mrs. George Wright, of London and Arnold is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd Makins of Bayfield. The couple has resided in Bayfield since their marriage where Arnold operates a Plumbing business. They are the proud parents of three children; Brenda (Mrs. Dennis Miskie) of Goderich; Brian of Toronto and Bonnie at home,all of whomwere responsible for arranging the very special celebration for their parents. During the evening a hilarious mock wedding party arrived to renew the vows that had sup- posedly exchanged 25 years ago, between Arnold and .Ruth. Brenda Miskie and Bonnie Makins were the soloists and sang a lovely duet entitled "The OId Gray Mare" (she ain't what she used to be). All except the bride were attired in 30th Century costume. (It must have been 30th century, as their garments were unseen up to this point in time...definitely futuristic. Mrs. Makins brother, Jim Wright, acted as Master of Ceremonies for the evening and the music for dancing was sup- plied by Disc Jockey Joe Ducharme of Goderich. Of the original wedding party attendants attending were Marion Mackie, Jim Wright and Mel Greer. The guests who were present from Exeter, London, Grimsby, Clinton, Goderich, Toronto, Varna, Simcoe as well as Bayfield and area, were treated to a delicious smorgasbord. Congratulations to Arnold and Ruth, along with a very sincere wish for health, happiness and prosperity in the years ahead.

Problem What would you say to your radio or TV when it picks up calls of some of the C.B.'ers in your neighbourhood, just at the moment when you are about to learn that the Butler was not the tall thin gentleman who ran off with Timothy Angus' lovely wife Sophia. Certainly not 10-4. Our neighbours tell us they pick up full two-way conversations in some of their electrical ap- pliances and they complain that its "down -right annoying". This apparently goes on day after day, while they are trying to watch favourite programs on their TV. Only yesterday they heard a play-by-play description of a trip to the city, made by a young woman who "hardly made it to the hospital before she delivered a nice big baby weighing nine pounds one ounce". Apparently some of the C.B.'ers forget they are not on a Skate®a-thou Forty children skated in our annual skate-a-thon on Saturday at the Zurich arena. Due to weather conditions many of our children could not participate, so we are holding a second skate-a-thon this Satur- day, February 12, at 12 o'clock sharp. We would like to thank all the skaters and their sponsors for a job well done last week and hope this Saturday will also be suc- cessful. IT WOULD BE AP- PRECIATED IF ALL THE CHILDREN COULD BE READY TO GO ON THE ICE AT 12:00 SHARP THIS SATURDAY. private telephone line, Rather they are on an exaggerated old fashioned party line. Seems it was only a short while ago, that the populus was ridding them- selves of party lines, and now its much worse, because literally hundreds of people could be, and do, sandbag (listen in) on C.B. radio conversations. Most C.B. radio operators use their radios to help one another, give assistance or pass on in- formation regarding weather and road conditions; work in con- junction with snowmobilers, getting food and supplies to those in need, in emergency situations, and in general assisting in any way possible. Those who own C.B. radios can turn them off or turn the squelch down if they don't want to listen, but what of the poor neighbour who desires to relax and watch a TV program, and who continually gets in- terrupted by idle chit-chat; and worst of all not even being able to tell it to go 10-100. I'd say it was down right annoying too. (Oh, by the way, the neighbour never heard whether the baby was a boy or girl.) 73's.
