Book fair
Grand Bend bookstore owner Luise Hoffman displays a Robert Bateman book that was raf-
fled
affled off following Usbome Central School's book fair on Sept. 26. Proceeds from the fair
and raffle went to help buy books for the school library. Teacher Marlene Thornton checks
out the selection at the fair, which coincided with the school's open house. Exeter Public
School had a similar event. Bateman will appear at Grand Bend Public School on Oct. 24 at
7:30 p.m. for a slide presentation and book signing.
Youth rally In Brucefleld
BRUCEFIELD - The first of the season Youth for Christ Rally was held
Saturday, October 5 at Huron Centennial School.
Dan Bisson and Delores Gingerich along with a group of youth from Zu-
rich Mennonite Church led the people in some choruses to open the meet-
ing.
Sisson got the people moving around and talking to each other with a
few ice -breakers, for example finding all the people that had birthdays in
the same month as yours.
Rob Steckle conducted an exciting Bible Quiz. Centralia, Zurich and
Goderich were the three teams taking part in this.
Adrian Deilman shared his testimony. Deilman is confined to a wheel-
chair as a result of drinking and driving. He encouraged us not to take
risks like not buckling up, or drinking and driving. He said our bodies are
the temple of the Holy Spirit and if we take risks we are putting God to the
test. The choices we make are important and we have a responsibility to
protect ourselves and others.
The most important choice you can make is found in Romans 10, where
it says, "Who ever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved". He asked
the question, vDo you know where you will be for eternity?"
The next Rally will be on November 2, with a youth speaker, Jason Ste-
fan and a group doing drama.
Fall chores remembered
HENSALL - Fun and Fitness
loosened everyone up Monday
morning and helped get the kinks
out. The group followed with a
time of reminiscence and everyone
contributed their memories of fall
chores and ways they used to pre-
pare foods. Drying, salting, smok-
ing and canning were the most
popular as many in their early years
didn't own a freezer. All remem-
bered that it was a busy time of
year. In the evening the Presbyteri-
an women held their last bingo for
September. A big thank you to
those women who provided prizes
and assistance at bingo.

day morning and the big events for
October are the October fall dance
October 17 with Jack and Irene
Vincent and the October 30 craft

baking or making crafts it would be
appreciated or you could come to
buy. Tuesday afternoon church ser-
vice, was a meaningful time of sing-
ing and meditations. Thank you to
volunteer pianist Phyllis Desjar-
dine. The Christian Reformed sing-
<.ers provided a wonderful program
of song on Tuesday evening.
Breakfast group met on Wednes-
day morning over cheese omelet,
toast and coffee and enjoyed a
Lawrence Welk tape while eating.
Several who had attended Sen-
iors Dining group on Thursday
stayed to see a viedo of the variety
show Queensway Players had pre-
sented at Grand Cove Estates last
April. It was a lot of fun to see resi-
dents, staff and volunteers clog,
sing, joke and line dance their way
through an hour of entertainment.

afternoon. Four delicious pumpkin
loaves and maple cream candy
were produced. Friday evenings re-
