PEOPLE AROUND LONDESBORO By Brenda- -411 . RadfordwT * d|Call 523-4296 Plan now to take in the Old Tyme Breakfast at the Londesboro Hall on Oct. 15 served up by the Londesboro Lions Club. The sympathy of the community is extended to the family of Karen Biesinger who passed away Sept. 28. Karen and her husband, Wayne, moved into the village approximate­ ly 11 years ago with their four sons. Although not a person to be about the village much, Karen did enjoy going to bingo and she bowled with the local ladies league. Playing cards with the neighbour ladies was also a pastime. Karen took great pleasure in the activities of her four sons and their friends and her new grandson was a source of pride. She will surely be missed by these five young males. Ruth Hodgins slipped peacefully from this world on Oct. 3 and condo­ lences -are extended to husband, Clayton and the family. Ruth had worked for a time at the Bell tele­ phone office in Clinton and was both a mother and grandmother. She and Clayton moved to Londesboro from Clinton a number of years ago into the house previously owned by Ruth’s parents. Even then Ruth was not in the best of health and, consequently, few of us knew her well. Moreover, it was difficult for Ruth to socialize due to a severe hearing impairment. But she was a good neighbour with the folks at that end of the village. Her health had prevented her for some years now from vacationing at the family trailer. These two grieving families will need your prayers and support as they cope with their loss. On a brighter note Mike and Shannon (Duizer) Clark have changed the colour of the baby clothes at their house to blue. Devyn Michael arrived on Oct. 4, a little brother of Caillie. Happy Gang Seniors enjoy potluek lunch Thanks Alex Blair, representing the Blyth Lions Club and the Legion Branch #420, presented cheques to Blyth Scouting, which includes Beavers, Cubs, Scouts (pictured) and Venturers.

Next Sunday is the anniver­ sary service. Rev. Donald Robinson, a former Brucefield United Church minister, will be the guest minister. A number of friends were pleased to have in attendance the former Wanda Plaetzer for the service on Sunday. Wanda was with her parents Jean and Lawrence Plaetzer. Area people entertained or were guests at home this weekend. It is always a pleasure to be with families and friends. The Lapp family has just received word that a first cousin, John Elliott, has passed away at Markdale. As is their custom, the Happy Gang Seniors began their afternoon together at the Londesboro Hall on Sept. 27 with a potluck dinner. A short business meeting followed. Betty Archambault gave an inter­ esting report on the recent seniors’ convention in North Bay. An invitation was received to visit the Dungannon Seniors Group on Oct. 21. A seniors dance will be held at the Londesboro Hall on Oct. 27. A pair of humorous skits were pre­ sented by Keith and Phyllis Tyndall. In his skit, Keith baffled his wife doing some painting after apply(ing) two coats. Despite seemingly need­ ing an easel to do her painting, Phyllis put together a landscape scene using some willing members. Card playing completed the after­ noon’s activities. Several Londesboro Seniors attended the fall rally in Belgrave on Sept. 28. MUNICIPALITY OF HURON EAST INVITES ALL RATEPAYERS TO AN ALL CANDIDATES' NIGHT FROM AUBURN Armstrongs greet Jack and Elva Armstrong wel­ comed the congregation to the Knox United Church at 9:45 a.m. for the Thanksgiving Service on Sunday. Organist was Nancy Park. Rev. Paul Ross told the work and life of the church. During children’s time Rev. Ross explained how they should thank God daily for all the givings they receive. The first scripture was from Exodus 12. Moses and Aaron were in Egypt and the Lord told them on the tenth day to choose a land. He gave them instructions on what to do. This was the Lord’s Passover. The second scripture was from Matthew 6. In this here Jesus said not to worry about the future but seek God’s kingdom and all would be taken care of. Rev. Ross’s sermon was, Giving Thanks Daily. “We must remembei to thank God for all that he has giver us. We live in a beautiful country with God’s creations all around us. We are very fortunate when we real­ ize how much we have and think of all those who have so little,’’ he said. A postlude by Nancy Parks was played as the congregation left.
