Mrs. Stonehouse, who began her reporting of the community hap- penings for The Blyth Standard in the late '60s, says she has very much enjoyed the work, but feels it is time to give it up. In addition to writing the Bel- grave news for The Citizen Mrs. Stonehouse also wrote for The Clinton News Record as well as briefly for The Huron Expositor. Citizen publisher Keith Roulston says "Mrs. Stonehouse's dedication and commitment to the job will be greatly missed, not only by the community but by the newspaper as well." Belgrave residents will not have to worry, however, about not hear- ing the local news, as Linda Camp- bell will be taking over for Mrs. Stonehouse immediately. Anyone with information for the Belgrave column should contact Mrs. Camp- bell at 357-2188. Walton Hall Continued from page 1 from Walton.
