Games & toys of the past at Clinton's
School on Wheels Museum
To kick off the 2015 season
and its theme the School on
Wheels Museum will host a
fun -filled event at Sloman
Park in Clinton on June 20
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
weather permitting. Dona-
tions in support of the school
car may be made by visitors
who drop by to take part in
the activities planned.
"Games and Toys of the
Past" will feature the hands-
on play that boys and girls
enjoyed for years, pre -televi-
sion, pre -computers, and
pre -electronics, including
kids bingo. The Huron
County Museum will be set-
ting up artifacts and displays
and David Onn will bring his
operational model railway in
addition to vintage toys. Phil
Gemeinhardt of Bayfield
North Antiques and Collecti-
bles will contribute
interesting playthings as
well. And who doesn't like
board games? There'll be lots
of those.
The history of the School
on Wheels is diverse and
interesting. Clinton native
Fred and his wife Cela Slo-
man raised and taught their
family of five children in this
mobile classroom and resi-
dence for 10 months each
year, with Fred as the popu-
lar teacher of hundreds of
children living in remote
northern Ontario over a
period of nearly 40 years.
Of particular interest at
the June 20 event will be a
mini croquet set, similar to
the one the Slomans would
set up and play inside the
car. Necessity is definitely
the mother of invention!
Reminiscent of nights of
entertainment organized for
families along the rail line by
Fred and Cela, the Lions
Clubs of Bayfield and Clin-
ton will be holding a "Steak
Bingo" for adults from 1-2
p.m. during the Games &
Toys event. Bingo cards will
be available for purchase,
with proceeds being
donated to the School on
Wheels Museum. Have fun
and win dinner.
Amusement and refresh-
ments as well as a 50/50
draw will be the order of the
day at the park that show-
cases this well-known sym-
bol of past education suc-
cess. It isn't often that the
main artifact of a museum is
the museum itself. Restored
and furnished in 1940's style,
the Sloman School on
Wheels brings history to life.
And a lively place it will be
on June 20!

Check your friends for ticks
Brenda Radford
Special to the News Record
The sign at the Seaforth
Veterinary Clinic is probably
causing many smiles. It tells
passersby to "Check your
friends for ticks." It made me
think of that country song in
which the young man asks
his sweetheart to a picnic
and promises to check her
for ticks. We are hearing
much these days about Lyme
disease and being warned
about being on the alert for
ticks so perhaps the sign
extends beyond our cats and
dogs after all.
John Lyons is back in Uni-
versity Hospital dealing with
infection again in his leg.
Doctors are investigating a
couple of options in an
attempt to make him more
comfortable.
Vera [Lyon] Bell from Brit-
ish Columbia visited in the
area for a short time last
week. While here she spent
time with Bert and Joanne
Lyon and Bill and Bev Shad -
dick. Bev took her to Goder-
ich Place to catch up with
Ruth Vincent, Helen Lee and
Gail Lear.
In last week's space I
neglected to offer thanks
from the Lions Club to Bev
and Helen Wallace for per-
mitting the swimming of the
ducks on their corner prop-
erty recently. The weather
brought out a good crowd of
spectators.
Londesborough United Church
Four teenagers publicly
professed their faith to God
and their Londesborough
United Church family on
Sunday, May 31 through
Confirmation. Quinn
Driscoll, Sydney Hunking,
Avery Whyte and Sean
Whyte have spent weeks
with Rev. Fletcher pondering
their faith and learning what
it means to be a full-fledged
member of their congrega-
tion. Londesborough United
took pride in welcoming the
youth and congratulated
them for accepting the
responsibility that comes
with membership.
Confirmation coincided
with Trinity Sunday and
trinity was one of the
beliefs discussed. The Doc-
trine of Trinity inherent in
Christianity is rejected by
other faiths of the world.
This belief was accepted as
early as the 300 AD in order
to describe the fullness of
God - as three -fold - Father,
Son and Holy Ghost. Early
Christian leaders recog-
nized it is above man's
capacity to understand this
fullness of God's nature, it
must be a faith belief.
God as creator; Jesus as
the redeemer; Holy Spirit
as sanctifier makes the per-
sona understandable. Per-
sona is defined as all the
aspects of one; like layers of
one. Each human has vari-
ous aspects to their life -
family, career, hobbies,
interests, etc - making up
the entire one.
The good news is that
there is still just one God.
Christians can think of the
Trinity also as God is, Jesus
did and the Holy Spirit con-
tinues to open the minds
and hearts of people.
Supporting scriptures for
the message by Rev. Fletcher
were Romans 12:3-8, Deut.
29;29 and responsive psalm,
Psalm 111.
Assisting Rev. Fletcher
with the sacrament of Com-
munion were Cheryl Trew-
artha, Traci Radford, Bev
Riley, Lawrence Bergsma
and Grant Bergsma.
