2 incidents mar holiday
Lloyd, Mary Walden
married 50 years
The family of Mary and Lloyd
Walden of Blyth helped them
celebrate their 50th wedding anni
versary by hosting an Open House
for them at the Blyth United
Church parlour last Sunday. More
than 200 friends and relatives from
the Blyth area, as well as from
Wingham, Seaforth, London and
Toronto attended the gala event,
many of them presenting the
couple with lovely cards, flowers
and gifts.
Mr. and Mrs. Walden (the
former Mary Cook, eldest daugh
ter of the late Walter and Charlotte
Cook) were married at the bride’s
parents’ home at Westfield on
September 3, 1938, by the Rever
end Hugh Wilson. They farmed on
the fourteenth Line of East Wawa-
nosh Township, near Westfield,
until moving to Blyth, where Mr.
Walden continued his business as
a log buyer and cutter until his
retirement in 1984.
Final payment
for canola
announced
Ontario canola producers enroll
ed in the 1986-87 Ontario grain
stabilization plan will receive
$587,000 in final payments
through the Farm Income Stabili
zation Commission, Agriculture
and Food Minister Jack Riddell
announced recently.
These payments are in addition
to the interim payments of
$11,254,000 made last summer to
growers of barley, oats, corn,
soybeans, winter wheat and can
ola. Thestabilizationaccount is
funded one-third by the grower
and two-thirds by the Ontario
government.
Interim payments were made for
60 per cent of the total number of
tonnes of each crop that producers
had registered in the plan. Adjust-
mentforthesepayments will be
made in the final payment.
The total payment is $10.10 per
tonne for canola. This amount
represents two-thirds of the total
declared deficiency payment as
calculated by the federal Agricul
tural Stabilization Board. Canola
producers must complete forms
with sales data. These forms will be
mailed to producers shortly.
Mr. and Mrs. Walden raised five
children, all of whom live in the
area save for their eldest daughter,
Donna (Mrs. Walter Cunning
ham), who passed away in 1973.
Garth and his wife Dianne; Gary
and his wife, Rachel; and Brian and
his wife, Bev, all reside in East
Wawanosh Twp., while the youn
gest daughter, Linda, and her
husband, Ross Wilson, live in
Blyth.
The Waldens also have 15
grandchildren: Kelly and Rodney
Cunningham of Fort Francis,
Tasha (Cunningham) Butt of Lon
don; Christa, Tim, Jill, Natalie,
Mathew, Karin, John, Angela and
Laura Walden, all of East Wawa
nosh; and Wesley, Tara and Tyler
Wilson of Blyth; as well as one
great-granddaughter, Donna
Marie Butt of London.
A number of the grandchildren
helped serve tea during the Open
House on September 4, while
family friend Bill Bush of Toronto
acted as Master of Ceremonies, as
well as singing two solos during the
afternoon. Reverend Lorenzo Ra-
mirezaFsosangasolo, while the
quartet of Lloyd Walden, Harvey
McDowell, Bodie Craig and Albert
Wasson also entertained with
several songs. All were accom

piano.
Later, a family dinner, with 20
guests in attendance, was held at
the Maitland Country Club in
Goderich.
Although the Wingham OPP
report a fairly quiet Labour Day
weekend in the area, it was marred
by two rather dramatic incidents,
both involving motor vehicles.
A police chase involving a young
offender ended near Wingham at
approximately 10 a.m1 on Friday,
September 2 when the vehicle the
youth was driving was forced off
the highway by an OPP cruiser, but
not before two people received
minor injuries and the cruiser was
damaged.
According to a spokesman for
the Wingham Detachment of the
OPP, theyoung offender stole a
white Firebird at knifepoint east of
Bluevale earlier the same' morn
ing, then proceeded along High
way 86 towards Wingham, at
tempting topass one vehicle on the
right. Intercepted by police at the
intersection of Highways 86 and
87, the young offender attempted
to tu rn arou nd at the intersection of
Highways 4 and 86, but was forced
off the road by a cruiser which
sustained damage, police say.

sticks toyour hardwood floor, use a
plastic spatula to remove as much
as you can,then spray the black
residue with oven cleaner. Leave
onforfive minutes, and rub off.
The marks will disappear.*****
The driver ofthe car the youth
attempted to pass on Highway 86,
Wendy Armstrong-Gibson of
Turnberry Twp., as well as Wing
ham OPP Constable Carl Ricker,
were treated for minor injuries at
the Wingham and District Hospital
and released.
The Wingham Police assisted
OPP in the chase. The young
offender has been charged with
robbery with an offensive weapon
and with dangerous driving caus
ing bodily harm, and will appear in
Young Offenders’ Court in God
erich on September 14.
In a second bizarre incident over
the weekend, one man was injured
when the vehicle he was in slipped
over the edge of a private gravel pit
at Lot 28, Concession 4 of Grey
Township late Saturday (Sept. 3)
evening, rolling some 30 feet
before coming to rest at the bottom
of the pit.
According to the Wing ham OPP,
the edge of the pit gave way after
Bradley J. Horan of Stratford
parked his 1984 GMC Jimmy on it,
sending the vehicle to the bottom.
Neither Mr. Horan nor two of his
passengers, Brian Cox of Grey
Twp. and Wayne Benniwies of RR
7, Dublin were injured in the fall,
although a third passenger, Robert
Verhoeve of Mitchell, sustained
what police called major injuries.
The injured man was.taken to
Stratford General Hospital by
private car, and Mr. Horan has
been charged with failing to report
an accident.
