PAGE 3. Festival promises family fun Fun galore is planned for the fourth annual Rutabaga Festival slated for the traditional fourth weekend in June. Starting off the weekend will be the parade at 11 a.m. from George Hubbard's rutabaga plant. The Metropolitan Toronto Winged Wheels Precision Motorcycle Team will again be leading the parade and will perform drill at 12:30 on the main street after the parade. The "Winged Wheels" are named for the insignia worn on the sleeve of traffic officers' uniforms which is internationally recognized as the symbol of a motorcycle rider. The first official engagement for the "Winged Wheels" was the opening ceremonies of Molson's Supercross A partnership which would prove beneficial to the community at no cost to the taxpayers was struck at the April 14 meeting of Blyth council. Representatives from the Blyth men's slowpitch, and men's and ladies' fastball leagues met with council to discuss the installation of lights at the arena ball diamond. Council learned that the leagues have pooled resources and labour to cover the costs of approximately two outfield lights, plus run the line in for two by home plate. It is anticipated that money raised this season will pay the costs to fmish the installation of the remaining two lights. The question brought to council With only a month and a half left in the regular Scouting year outdoor activities are prevailing. Cubs enjoyed a meeting night where they made trail signs and then practised following them. On April 13 they met at the Blyth Veterinary Clinic to learn how best to take care of domestic pets. As part of their community service work, the boys are enthusiastic about cleaning up some public areas around the town of Blyth. This, along with perfect attendance at meetings entitles the boys to receive the World Conservation badge. Scouts have been studying stars with John Battye, and are patiently waiting for a chance to observe them through the telescope. On April 14 they made rocket Blyth United Church Sunday school teachers and children were joined by early church goers at 10:30 a.m. April 18, on the front lawn of the church. The Sunday school made a gift of a purple leaf sand cherry tree for planting. Prayer of dedication was given by grades three, four, five, six boys. Greeters for the church service were Bill and Brenda Burkholder. Ushers were Kathleen, Colleen, Sara and Michelle McNichol. Marlene Toll was in charge of nursery. Guest minister was Rev. Cameron McMillan from Brussels. Rev. Ramirez was on exchange to Brussels. The service opened with a sing- song led by Cheryl Cronin, Director of music Phyllis Boak at the organ and John Ramirez at the piano. Conversation with the children by Rev. McMillan was A legend, "The Story of a Beggar". Those who only think about themselves won't get anything else. We must at the Skydome on May 25, 1990. Since then they have made appearances across the province, internationally and within Metropolitan Toronto. The Blyth Rutabaga Festival also warmly welcomes to the parade this year the Seaforth District High School Marching Band. This band serves as an international ambassador for Canada performing as far as Fort Meyers, Florida and competing and winning at the Calgary Stampede twice. Being the only high school marching band in Southwestern Ontario keeps this group in big demand. Also the parade wouldn't be complete without those interesting was in regards to the money from the ladies' team, which is locked into GIC's. After some discussion a motion was passed that the village would work with the Blyth Ladies' Fast- ball league to assist in their finan- cial contribution towards the installation of the lights subject to the signing of an agreement stating the GIC's be signed over to the vil- lage upon maturation. This is effec- tive at completion of the four lights. Dave Pattison made a request that councillors on the Recreation Committee be involved by moni- toring the project. Clerk Adminis- trator Helen Grubb agreed this would be the responsible thing to launchers at their regular meeting in preparation for Benmiller Camp May 28-30. The three boys who are going to the Canadian Jamboree in Alberta (Shawn Clark, Jeff Johnston, and Chris Knox) have just finished another cheese campaign in order to raise the $1,000 necessary for each boy to attend. Along with their leader, Lavem Clark, they will be flying to Calgary July 10 for a week long, activity-filled adventure at Kananaskis. The boys are very appreciative of the support they have received from the community in their efforts to raise the money. April 29-May 2 Adam Blair will be attending the District Invitational Canoe Trip. There are several upcoming be ever mindful of the needs of others and willing to share with others. The children were joined downstairs by Betty Lewis who was in charge. A beautiful anthem, "All in an April Evening" was sung by the ladies' choir, accompanied by Mrs. Boak. Rev. McMillan's sermon was "What Happens after Easter?" A week after all the excitement and enthusiasm of Easter is over, let us compare with what the first apostles went through; in the way we feel and how they felt also, he said. The result of having Jesus back with them, is that we are worshiping here today. Did they understand why He came back? Jesus said to them "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you, and you will be my witnesses to the end of the earth. Rev. McMillan said this is an important lesson for all of us to learn. Christianity is in great danger of being wiped out. A special appeal will be for the beauty queens, who somehow manage to steal the show. So get your bikinis dry cleaned and ready for the big day! Plans are well underway for a family-oriented weekend including bed races, fireman's waterbarrel fight, pony rides and a medley of New Orleans Dixie style music by special guests the Dixieland Ramblers.

As the lights are ultimately the property of the village, council also agreed to purchase the lights, with payment in full coming from the leagues, which would reduce the GST. "This is a good project for the village," said Councillor Steve Sparling. "It's an asset. These lights are used for other community events so if the village can some- how help with basically no cost to the taxpayers we'd be foolish not to." annual events that involve all sections.
