I must have pulled a Rip Van Winkle and slept some of the sum- mer days away. I haven't had enough times in the pool yet or lazy hours to finish my book. But then, I am hearing the same lament from many people. So I assume there are more people than myself wanting more warm weather outdoor time, who just are nor ready to face the winter darkness. Now that we have had some rain couldn't we just go back and start August over? However, signs of fall are becom- ing evident. The other morning while I was working in a flowerbed, trying to convince the mums to hold off their blooming a little while yet, a line of geese went honking over- head. Signs in farm equipment deal- ers' yards are advertising local plow- ing matches and the Outdoor Farm Show. Can the International Plowing Match be far behind? This time next week the camp- ground in Blyth will be filling up for the 40th Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion. Newspapers and flyers arriving daily are full of "back to school" sales. With Labour Day being so early in September, school buses will begin rolling along area roads on Tuesday, Sept. 4. The Grade 8 graduates in the area have an Orientation Day at Central Huron Secondary School on Wednesday, Aug, 29 (today). These first-year high school students will receive a tour of the school, get their timetable and be assigned a locker. Time will be provided for the fresh- men to find their classrooms, etc. If you have someone in your home interested in scouting, registration is set for Aug. 29 and Sept. 12 at Blyth Public School. For more information contact Barb Knox at 523-4290. Putting away the baseball bats and gloves means getting out the skates and hockey sticks. Minor hockey and skating registration can still be done at the Blyth arena on Wednesday, Aug. 29. Joyce Bean is the person to call at 526-1537 for information regarding hockey. For information about figure and power skating call Glenda at 523-9139. If you have noticed an increase in activity at the home of Wayne and Marg Ward recently you'll appreci- ate the following two items of good news. It was a beautiful day and a beau- tiful setting when Jim Ward and Tara James exchanged marriage vows at Benmiller on Saturday, Aug. 25, Following the ceremony a reception was held at the Vanastra Community Centre. Following a honeymoon in Niagara Falls, Jim and Tara and their year-old son, Braden, will be resid- ing in Vanastra. Wayne has been home from hospi-` tal in London now for a couple of weeks. Although he is spending most of his days in a wheelchair, his ther- apy and swimming is going welL Marg has taken a leave from her job in Stratford to help the home nursing people with his care. Perhaps we'll see him out strolling this time next year.
