Pancakes, Entertainment At Maple Syrup festival The Town of Elmira, in the heart of Ontario's maple syrup country, has issued an invitation to all neighbouring towns to en- joy Elmira's first annual Maple Syrup Festival on April 10. All the town's main organizations are preparing for the event and for the thousands of visitors ex- pected at this one -day spec- tacle. That day the two main busi- ness blocks will be closed to motor traffic, creating a mall where visitors can wander free- ly, eat pancakes smothered in freshly -made maple syrup and sample the Pennsylvania Dutch delicacies for which this'dis- trict is famous. Also included is a trip by horse-drawn vehicles into one of the area's sugar bushes,where visitors can see maple syrup made as in years past, Elmira differs greatly from other towns because about a third of the district people are Old Order Mennonite or Amish. They like to be called "The Plain People" and cling to the old ways, shunning such inno- vations as motor cars. It isn't unusual on an Elmira market day to see more than 100 horse-drawn rigs and wa- gons tethered in the town's parking lot. It is fascinating to see the Plain People driving in- to town in their wide brimmed hats and black clothing. All proceeds from this event will be directed to the Elmira Association for Retarded Child- ren. The Association is plan- ning a sheltered workshop in Elmira to give employment to the retarded when they gradu- ate from the Guiding Light School. In the mall, where pancakes and maple syrup will be served, there will be place mats in Pennsylvania Dutch on the pic- nic tables. All announcements on the public address system will be in both English and Pen- nsylvania Dutch. To add further color there will be an auction sale. " Participating syrup produc- ers and farmers will park their carriages and wagons in the mall and use them as booths to display and sell their products. Other items of interest to visitors will be Mennonite Cook Books, hooked rugs, eatables such as kochcase, beefvascht, brodvascht, levavascht, schmeercase, kopfcase, apful schnitz and other local delica- cies, including real summer sausage. Bride -Elect Misses Shower Friends of Miss Betty Feick enjoyed a pleasant evening at the home of Mrs. Earl Heywood one evening last week. The event was to have been a show- er for the bride -elect, but Miss Feick was out of town and due to weather conditions was unable to be present. The hostesses, Mrs. Heywood, Miss Joanne Stewart and Miss Verna Ellis conducted games and the 22 guests participated. Attend Bruce Presbyterial LAKELET-Five members of the McIntosh U.C.W. attended the third annual meeting of the Bruce Presbyterial United Church Women on Tuesday of last week at Kincardine United Church. The theme of the meeting was "God's Purpose and our Re- sponse". The speaker at the afternoon session was Miss Doro- thy Young, assistant secretary of the Board of Women, Toron- to, whose address was of an in- spirational nature. The meeting was well at- tended and the officers for the coming year were installed by Mrs. Frank Taylor, president of Hamilton Conference Branch. Couple Celebrate 441h Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Rath were pleasantly surprised when friends and relatives gathered at the home of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr.and Mrs. Gordon Howatt, RR 1, Auburn on the occasion of their 40th wedding anniversary on Satur- day. The table was centred with a three -tiered wedding cake and lighted candles. A dainty luncheon was served by the hostess, assisted by her sisters, and the evening was spent in playing progressive euchre. The winners were Clarence Rath, and Mrs, Karl Whitfield, high scores; lone hands, Mrs. Bert Wiggins and ladies' low, Mrs. Lewis Cook. The couple were the reci- pients of many lovely gifts and Mrs. Stanley Cook read the fol- lowing address: It's five years now since last we met, We're older now and wiser, you bet, We're getting old and deaf and lame, The old gang isn't quite the same. 'Cause now we have some va- cant places Which bring the tears to all our faces. They often lent a helping hand Which leaves us memories that are grand. You know we never had a row, That's sure nice to look back to now. The years have flown, we don't know where, And left us either grey or bare. But we still enjoy a real good laugh, And we can still give some gaff. But we can't take it like we did When each one acted like a kid. Oh! how we used to rip and tear Under the bed or up the stair. But now we'd rather sit and talk, Or else go for a very slow walk. We've come to wish you all the best And advise you both to take a rest, So you will still be feeling spry When five or ten more years go by. We hope we'll all be here to meet With you to celebrate the fete, We'll all be true until life ends 'Cause we can't do without our friends. The Old Gang PERSONAL NOTES --Mrs. Edgar M.
