At the Legion
Ladies busy with many events
by Rene Brochu
Our week was again
,..one of eventful hap-
penings, commencing
with the Huron County
Municipal Officers
meeting and dinner. With
the meeting commencing
at 9 a.m. with ,coffee and
donuts, it necessitated an
early start for our staff,
Our Ladies were again up
for the quick change as
the meeting adjourned
just prior to noon and the
ladies had the dinner
ready by 12:30 p.m. Our
hats off to our ladies and
the men who pitched in
lending a helping hand.
Our Thursday evening
bingo again was suc-
cessful with the best
attendance of the year
and Comrade Steve
Cooke and his associates
bingo team were kept
busy with the increased
attendance. The $200
jackpot prize was split
four ways between Irene
Flanigan, Celia McNeil,
Bertha Gibbs and Eva
Boyes.
On Friday, our TGIF
was again a pleasant
evening with many
Comrades and friends
enjoying the relaxing
atmosphere. Bert Gray
was the fortunate winner
of the first raffle prize
and Slim Lacroix went
home with the second
prize. Reta Robinson was
not so fortunate, as her
name was drawn for the
attendance draw, but she
had not registered, so the
pot grows for some lucky
member in the future.
The Clinton and area
firemen held their annual
Firemen's .Bail last
Saturday ey.ening and
had some 70 couples
enjoy a pleasant evening
with their hosts. All
proceeds will go as usual

Lost friend
Despite the use of a
private investigator and
consultations with Vera
McNichol, the psychic
from Millbank, there are
no new clues into, the
disappearance of Rover.
Russell and Clara
Knight have been looking
for their three-year-old
Border Collie since he
mysteriously vanished
from their L'urgan Beach
home on March 11.
The Kincardine News
reported that the Russells
have been offering a
$1,000 reward for in-
formation concerning
their long-time com-
panion.
Rover was like Mr.
Russell's shadow, his
wife said, "He was
always right beside him.
It's the mystery around
the whole thing that
bothers us."
Rover was a good
watch dog, barking
whenever someone came
on the property. And for
Mr. Russell, who is a
little hard of hearing,
Rover would always bark
to let him know when the
telephone was ringing.
The dog knew the ring,
one long and two shorts.
