Women attend
WI workshop
Leona McDonald. Marjory
Humphries, Ruth Axtmann and
Helen Craig went to Atwood to
attend a District WI workshop to
keep updated on Institute. The next
institute meeting will be at Marj
Humphries at L30, March 15 at her
home.
One good thing about working at
the Walton Inn is that I get to see a
lot of people and find out some
interesting things. Like last Friday
when in for lunch came the
McCallum boys, well two of them
anyway. I was taking Paul’s order
when something colourful in his
hair caught my eye. I was much too
busy at the time to ask him about it.
Then I noticed his tan and
remembered that he and Dianne,
Stanley and Donna McClure, Joyce
and Wayne Hartman, Sharon and
Kelly Dalton, Pearl and Harold
McCallum and Mabel Willis all
went to Antigua (West Indies) for
two weeks. For Mabel it was a
retirement vacation and how
wonderful to be able to have her.
family and friends there to help her
celebrate.
Now getting back to Paul. After I
served him his very delicious meal,
I noticed the short strand of beads
attached to his hair behind one ear.
I was to find out that a lot of the
guys in Antigua wear them and so
on a bet the four boys, Paul, Stan,
Kelly and Wayne, had some beads
put in their hair. The bet has them
not taking the beads out ... ever ...
unless they want to pay $100. Paul
figures his hair will reach the
ground before his beads come out.
So men of Walton, maybe men in
Ontario ... might as well make that
men in all of Canada ... if you want
to be in fashion then talk to Paul
and the boys to see just how to go
about getting beads put in your
hair.
Also while at the restaurant I
learned that people do read the
Walton news as I had people ask if
we were serving possum stew that
day. Hoping to get some stories
about possums I unfortunately
didn’t get any but I did get a few
remarks like ... “The only good
possum is a dead one.” “What good
are they anyway?” “I’m trying to
catch one in a live trap” (I
suggested he use an egg as they do
like eggs).
I had one person accuse me of
running over Opi! Well I will tell
you that possums like to eat mice
so that is one good thing about
possums and I also figure that they
are one of God’s little critters so
that kind of speaks for itself.
Euchre at Walton had 10 tables at
play.
The first place winners were Bill
and Marjory Humphries with 76
points. Following close in second
with 74 points was Cecil and
Maxine Pollock. The third place
team was Frank and Kay Baer with
71 points. The lucky lone hand
winners were Harry Elston and Bea
Stoll.
The Walton Public School
welcomed Howie Morton from
Belgrave as acting principal until
Alice McDowell is well enough to
come back to work.
It was with very somber faces
that each teacher announced to
their students Wednesday the
closing of the school. The teachers
answered children’s questions as
best they could and said there
would be more information to
follow in the upcoming weeks.
The staff has been busy preparing

granddaughter Kelly McDonald
were greeters at Duff’s United
Church Feb. 27.
The congregation welcomed
Margaret Hern from Woodham.
She will be back next week for
what will prove to be a very fun
service. People are encouraged to
dress up and wear outrageous hats
if they want.
It’s designed to be lighthearted.
She hopes that no one will be
offended.
There will be a few skits as well.
Come on out and enjoy the service.
The choir introduced a new song
called You Never Saw Old Galilee
and invited the congregation to join
in singing.
.Her meditation was called, All
This and a Bam Door Too.
