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. school board in evening programs. need.

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.
