crowds from near and far
By Susan Hartman
HENSALL - There were approxi-
mately 50 yard sales and bake sales
scattered around the village of Hen-

were at a premium as visitors flood-
ed into town to shop for bargains.
They were able to enjoy a *delicious
fireman's breakfast as well as a
quick lunch at many booths.
The Hensall Minor Hockey fund
raising committee would like to
thank everyone who donated items
as well as everyone who helped
with the sale, particularly the young
people who turned out to help. It
was all greatly appreciated and very
worthwhile.
Scouts
The Hensall Cubs, Scouts, Ven-
turers and Rovers spent the entire
weekend at a District Camp -Out at
Benmiller. The weather was perfect
and the boys and leaders had a great
time.
On Saturday the Beavers spent the
day at Benmiller for their annual
Beaveree. It was a hot day but the
boys enjoyed every minute of it.
Thanks to the Venturers from Hu-
ron District who prepared lunch for
2(X) hungry Beavers.

MOONWALKING - In fact, the gravel shoulder of Highway 84 must have seemed as bad as the surface of the
moon for the 22 people who walked from St. Joseph to Hensall to raise money for cystic fibrosis. From left are

Moonwalkers brave heat, fight CF
HENSALL - Twenty-two partici-
pants braved the scorching May
sun to bring in a new record of
pledges for the Hensall Kinsmen's
Moonwalk for cystic fibrosis.
Kinsmen club secretary Jeff Re-
aburn explained that more than
S2,700 was raised in pledges by
the walkers who left St. Joseph at
9 a.m. Sunday morning to trudge
along in the 10 miles of dust and
gravel of Highway 84 to return to
Hensall.
"I think it was very successful,"
said Reaburn, adding that pledges
were up nearly S800 over last
year's totals.
The three walkers who collected
the most in pledges were Sandra
Consitt with $331, Alma Dayman
with S261, and the youngest walker
Shannon Kyle in grade five who
collected $218.
A toll booth set up near the tracks
in Hensall collected enough dona-
tions to bring in another S900 be-

COOL DOWN - Anne Willed and Luanne Phair find that the water from the
Hensall Town Hall hose is nowhere near as cold as they would like it after
their three-hour walk under Sunday's sun.
twecn 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Six hundred balloons were given
out to the motorists.
This is the second year the Hen-
sall Kinsmen have been involved in
fundraising for cystic fibrosis re-
search and Reaburn credits this
year's sunnier weather for bringing
more of the generous motorists past
the tollbooth which was operated by
the Kinetics organization.
Reaburn also extended his appreci-
ation to Doug Mock of the Huron-
, dale dairy who provided a van and
orange juice and lemonade for the
moonwalkcrs.
The event is called a Moonwalk,
because when mileage from all par-
ticipants across Canada is totalled,
it is supposed to equal the distance
to the moon.
Reaburn expects to present the
event's sponsor, Zellers, with the
cheque from the Hensall events by
the end of June.
"It is a very serious disease," said
Reaburn of cystic fibrosis, "and it
effects almost entirely children be-
cause few of them live to reach
adultho()d."
