Last weekend Tim Lowey and his girls moved into the for- mer home of Edythe Beacom. Tim has been living in the apartment above the former post office/general store. The house on main street has been a Beacom home since 1947. Harold Beacom purchased the property and moved his par- ents into town. Edythe came along as well and helped Har- old care for their parents. The house became Edythe's upon Harold's death. The house had been empty since Edythe moved to Huronviewa number of years ago.

Huron County will be hold- ing the one hundredth Plowing Match in the year of the one hundred and fiftieth birthday of Canada. No matches were held during the Second World War and the first after, in 1947, was held at Port Albert. The 2017 match will be the fifth match held in Huron County. Com- modity groups will be inputting and Barmy Tach in Walton will be providing items of advertizing. The committee planning the match are well aware that the timing of the match holds some difficulty for fall fairs in the county. The match, fall fairs and the Threshers' reun- ion all have educational value for the county's schools. They are hoping to work with the nine local fair boards keeping all interests in mind. Visits to and volunteers for the various events may be negatively impacted. Margaret promised to keep the UCW informed as the months go by. Kittie MacGregor and Keri Whyte lead the meditation for the evening, focusing on earth day. The scripture passages Genesis 1:9-13 & 26 told the story of earth's creation and the creation of Adam and Eve to have dominion over the earth. Ladies present sang the hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful. Keri offered a reading that suggested the garden of our mind needs to be weeded just like our outdoor gardens. Kit - tie read a humourous story written by a church organist who chronicled her life through her shoes, especially those she played the organ in. President Laura Scott con- ducted the business portion of the meeting. It was decided to again assist financially the parents of children in our congrega- tion who wish to attend a Christian camp this summer. Contact Laura for more information. The UCW will lead the Sun- day morning service on June 7. This is Conference Sunday. The ladies are planning a summer theatre outing for July 7. Everyone in the congre- gation is invited to come along to see Wilberforce Hotel at the Blyth Theatre. Tickets for the theatre are $26. Dinner before the show will again be arranged as well. Contact Joan Goodall by June 7 for tickets. Londesborough UCW is on the committee planning the Campsite Experience at Camp Menesetung on June 8. Plan to attend this ladies day out.
