Steve Albrecht has sold his lot in St. Helen's. The Amish farmers are busy in their fields planting corn with three row planters pulled by horses. Menno Miller has a large number of baby Muscovy ducks running around. Lois and Joe Psutka planted the flower box at the corner of Joseph and Southampton street with col- ourful petunias. He even made a lid for it to protect the flowers from frost. Well done folks. The lawns are all cut and look- ing very nice. It snowed very hard on Sun- day, May 15 in the morning. The last time I can recall snow this late was on May 24 in 1957 in Melbourne, Ont. 80 miles south of here. I was 17 years old. I had a nice visit with my 95 year old mother in Strathroy on Sat. An old friend Barbara McVicar died on May 6 at the grand age of 107. On Friday the 13th Barry Devereaux visited with Shag and Joan and helped fix a nasty snag on my fishing pole. Thanks Barry. Pike season opened on May 14 in Lake Wawanosh. Good luck fisherman. There were nine thirsty folks for coffee but only 4 for euchre last week at the Dungannon Senior Centre. Got news?

We always have a good time trying to win pen- nies from each other. Yes, we still have pennies, they may not be legal tender in Canada any longer, but they work for us, and, we can't be arrested for gambling now that they're not legal tender. Former members of St. Peter's Anglican Church who now attend services at St. Paul's -Trinity in Wingham are helping out at the St. Paul's -Trinity yard sale and barbecue this coming Satur- day.
