40 people partake of
Christmas supper
Rev. Randy Banks opened the
UCW Christmas pot luck supper by
saying grace, then close to 40
people enjoyed the delicious feast.
The basement had been festively
decorated by Audrey Hackwell,
Karen Hoegy and Kathleen
Williamson.
After the meal and cleanup,
Phyllis Mitchell began the evening
with an opening.prayer than a
'Christmas Service' was delivered
by Dianne McCallum (narrator),
Barb Durrell (Innkeeper), Gloria
Love (Narrator), Marilyn Mc
Donald (Shepherd), Betty McCall
(Joseph), and Berva Watson
(Mary). The service was inter
spersed with Christmas carols
played by Marie McGavin.
The business part of the evening
was then dealt with. Non-
perishable items were collected and
they will be given to the Huron
County Christmas Bureau in
Egmondville (drop off centre is
Bethel Bible Church).
The group of ladies also
welcomed two special guests that
evening, Janie Ewing (a long-time
Walton resident) and her daughter
Beth Read. Janie said that it is
always such a treat to come back to
Walton.
A special gift box was given to
Rev. Banks and his family for
Christmas. The next meeting will
be Jan. 7 at 1:15 p.m.
I must apologize to Lome
Wernham for spelling his name
wrong in last week's paper. I made
sure that I had his last name spelled
correctly and then I went and got
his first name wrong. Sorry Loren,
I mean Lome.
As I promised last week to have
further information on the new
business in Walton (Walton Small
Auto and Engine Repair) I went
and talked to the owner. His name
is Derek Pilatzke and he is from
Brussels. He had a similar business
in Brussels but needed more space,
thus the shop in Walton. He is open

Belgrave man
receives
conviction
A Belgrave area resident was
convicted in Goderich court Mon
day, Dec. 5 of a drinking and driv
ing offense.
Goderich OPP charged Keith
Hardy, 54, on Aug. 27 when they
went to investigate a single vehicle
accident. Mr. Hardy told the police
that he had had five beers and
thought his nephew might be in the
car. (There was no one else in the
vehicle.)
Though Mr. Hardy sustained
minor injuries in the accident, the
court was told that he refused medi
cal attention.
Both breathalizer readings were
200 mg of alchohol in 100 ml of
blood.
Provincial Court Judge R.G.E.
Hunter fined Mr. Hardy $850 in
addition to the one year driving
prohibition.
this friendly lad welcomes
everyone in to check out his
business.
Walton Public School kids
played to a full house on Dec. 8
and were glad that they held the
concert in the Church so as to
accommodate the crowd.
There were a few children who
entertained the crowd before the
show began by playing music on
the piano and violin. The
kindergarten classes did their
Rudolph and Jingle Bells dances
and sang Christmas is Coming and
S-A-N-T-A.
Grade Is opened the show with
their play, 'Santa's Sleigh'. Grade 2
had a little presentation called,
'Children around the World'. Grade
3 did a musical called 'Three Wee
Kings'. Grade 4 had fun
performing, Boo-Bear and the
Night Before Christmas.
After the classes had delivered
their plays the school choir, led by
Mrs. Scott and accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. Vandendool, sang
two selections; When A Child is
Born and A Whole New World.
Mrs. Crocker thanked everyone
for coming out and hoped that they
all enjoyed it. She thanked all those
that volunteered to help out v“ith
the concert.
The Senior and Junior Kinder
garten classes have a pet hamster
named Bob in their class. Since it
gets cold in the school on weekends
Mrs. Viven suggested that the kids
take turns taking him home. This
weekend a very excited Cassandra
Banks got to take him home.
He is very friendly and I never
thought that one could form such
an attachment to a rodent but she
sure has as well as the kids in her
class.
A surprise 50th birthday party
was held for Alan Brown this past
week. His children, Sharon,
Richard, and wife Mandy, and
Gavin, and wife Roseann and
grandchildren put on the party.
Mandy made the cake and Alan's
grandson Nathan made a Peterbuilt
truck out of icing for it. Alan
enjoyed all the family and friends
that showed up for the party.
Happy Birthday Alan.

Songbirds
Students from Walton Public School performed their annual Christmas concert to a packed
house at Duff's United Church this past Thursday. Here the Grade 2 class begin their part of
the production which was entitled "Children Around the World."
Craigs greet at Duff’s
Graeme and son Michael Craig
were greeters at Duff's United
Church Dec. 11. The song, Light
One Candle was sung while Becky
Brown stood up in the middle of a
wreath made up of children to
represent Advent candle 1. Melissa
Badley stood up as the second
candle and Mary Beth Brown was
the third candle.
Heidi McClure and son Darrell
read the candle lighting liturgy and
then Darrell lit the pink candle
(candle of love).
Rev. Randy Banks once again
announced that there will be a

it is his turn to be there this year.

Rev. Banks called all the children
forward and read them part one of
the story, 'A Gift of Oranges', by
Beatrice Fines.
His sermon was entitled, 'A
Merry Repentance'. Wondering
what kind of a Chrispnas card he
would get from Paul or Zephaniah,
two of the three Biblical persons in
the lectionary readings today, Rev.
Banks figured that they would be
uplifting and triumphant and
proudly displayed on the mantle.
However, if John the Baptist sent
him a card it may go as follows -
Season's Greetings. In this season
of joy, my hope and prayer is that
you will repent! You brood of
vipers! The axe is laid to the root of
the trees and every tree that does
not bear fruit will be cast into the
fire, His winnowing fork is in his
hand to clear the threshing floor
and to gather wheat into his
granary; but the chaff he will bum
with unquenchable fire. Have a
merry repentance and a new year of
changed behaviour."
Rev. Banks wondered if he might
not take John off his Christmas
card list. John would seem to be in
