THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1985. PAGE 3.
Mr. and Mrs. Bevin Ireland of
Teeswater, (the former Betty
Bromley of Blyth), who were
married on Nov. 1, combined
business and a honeymoon by
setting out for Saskatchewan in
their four-month old Freight Liner
transport taking freight out, cattle
back. But neither cattle nor liner -
came back when on Nov. 9, the
Irelands arrived in Toronto by
plane, Betty with a broken foot
bone and Bevin with head lacera-
tions.
Near Davidson, Sask. at mid-
night on Nov. 6 with temperature
10 degrees below, a back tire hit a
rut on the side of the road made by a
snow plough, causing the entire
outfit to plunge into a 20-foot ditch.
It wasn't long before 107 calves
were running all over the district
adjacent to Davidson. Their round
up was organized by a friend of
Bevin's, the owner of a nearby
Husky Truck Stop. One was killed
on the highway, one was found 18
miles away, while at the lastest
report, 19 are yet to be accounted
for.
While Betty and Bevin were
being patched up in hospital,
looters were making off with their
luggage, a C.B. radio, shaving kit
and 24 cassette tapes.
We wish Betty Ireland (nee
Bromley) and husband Bevin
(Charlie) a speedy recovery from
shock and injuries and a really
happy honeymoon soon without
spills.
Plans for the new Catholic high
school in Perth County are starting
to take shape, less than a year
before the school's opening date.
The Huron-Perth Roman Catho-
lic separate school board is submit-
ting a detailed plan of its high
school to the planning and imple-
mentation commission which was
considered at the board's Oct. 28
meeting. At the same meeting, it
was announced that the school's
principal will be in the area for a
week in November.
Daniel Bishop, the man who will
be principal of St. Michael's
secondary school in September of
next year, will be visiting area
schools from Nov. 18 to 21. He will
spend the days visiting with the
students in their schools and hold
evening sessions to meet the
community.
Bishop officially starts as princi-
pal of the Catholic high school on
Jan. 1 of next year. He will spend
the first six months preparing for
next fall.
Bishop will be at St. Michael's in
Stratford, currently a Grade land 8
school, on Monday, Nov. 18. On
Tuesday he will be in Kinkora and
on Wednesday he'll be in St.
Marys. On Thursday, the principal
will visit Dublin, St. Columban and
Seaforth Catholic schools with a
community meeting in Dublin in
the evening.
Superintendent of education
John McCauley and the current St.
Michael's principal, Larry Cook,
have been spending some time
preparing the Grade 8 students for
high school. Along that line,
director of education William
Eckert has sent a memo to all
principals, which cuts off access to
Grade 8 students in Catholic
schools from the public high
schools.
While Eckert says there will
probably be exceptions in Huron
County, where there won't be a
Catholic high school until at least
1988, the traditional visit to Grade
8 classrooms by guidance counsel-
lors will end.
The director indicated that for
the past number of years, informa-
tion has been given by the public
BLYTH NEWS
Mrs. Edith Logan, formerly of Blyth, now a resident of Huronview
celebrated her 107th birthday on Tuesday, November 5. She was feted
at a luncheon party at Huronview which was attended by Molly Grant,
Mrs. Ruby Philp, Mrs. Lenora Davidson, Mrs. Marion Wright, Mrs.
Mamie Crawford and Mrs. Evalena Webster of Blyth. The ladies
brought a birthday cake. Also guests at the party were Mr. and Mrs. C.
Falkner. Mrs. Logan's family had a dinner party for her the previous
Sunday.
LOST HEIR
The Blyth Lost Heir club held their weekly meeting on Wednesday,
November 6 at Memorial Hall with seven tables of players eager to get
the girl and dump the boy.
Winner for the evening were: high points, ladies, Elsie Carter;
ladies low points, Ferne Howatt; men's high points, Charlie Smith;
men's low points, Mansel Cook. The group will meet again on Nov. 13
at 8 p.m. Everybody is welcome.
FORMER PASTOR VISITS
A former pastor of Blyth Church of God, Cecile Barnhart,
(Marquette) has been renewing acquaintances here lately. She and
her husband are now living in Grand Bend where he is pastor of the
Grand Bend Church of God.
LOTS OF ENERGY, NOT MANY BRAINS
Village Clerk Larry Walsh reported at council meeting last week that
somebody with lots of energy and not many brains had been at work at
Memorial Hall recently.
One night recently, between the time the caretaker left the hall door
open and the first people going to a card party arrived, someone got
into the building and literally painted the walls using a fire
extinguisher. The kitchen and the old washroom were both damaged.
One person wearing running shoes did the work. The cleanup
unfortunately took a lot longer than the act itself. There was a banquet
scheduled for the next day so an emergency clean-up crew had to be
brought in. The little mindless adventure cost about $100 in cleanup
costs.

LOVE THE NEWS, IF WE CAN READ IT
We love it when people submit news to us, either reports of meetings
or tidbits of personal news. We like it even better when we can be sure
we're spelling people's names right. It's best if you can write every
other line on lined paper and print all names distinctly. People like
seeing their names spelled correctly and we look a little foolish when
names are misspelled. Let's make everybody look good by making all
spellings clear for us at The Citizen.
YOU MISSED SOME FUN
The Board of the Blyth Festival did their usual superb job in setting
up their Roaring 20's weekend this past weekend but whether through
conflicting events elsewhere or lack of understanding about just what
the event was about, the attendance was disappointing.
Memorial Hall was transformed into a 1920's dance hall downstairs
and the stage upstairs became a "speakeasy" and casino with John
Roby the fabulous composer and pianist playing the grand piano.
Hopefully the event might be repeated again so those who missed it
this year can get in on a fun time.
