will be old time hymn singing.
Rev. A. Robertson, the pastor will be at a
Conference in Saskatchewan, also the
saddle -back preacher for the evening will be
Graham Russel, a valued member of the
• Fellowship Bible Chapel, Clinton.
There will be plenty of room to park cars
and be comfortably seated in them or bring

Refreshments will be served and an op-
portunity given to explore the building,
which was once a school.
It is interesting to note the first sermon
' preached in Tuckerslnith Township was by
a saddle -)lack preacher. The story is told in
the Clinton Women's Institute History of
Clinton and Surrounding Community 1950;
.'When the Canada Company first com-
menced to cut out the l,irndon road, they put
up a shanty for their workmen on lot 26. Irl
this shanty the first sermon was preached in
'l'uc•ker:smith by a Methodist Minister, a
missionary, niirlied Whitehead. His con-
gregation consisted of three persons, Neil
Ross, Angus and James Campbell. Mr.
Whitehead was an old roan and very tall and
the shanty roof, being pretty low, obliged
him to stoop considerable to deliver his
discourse, after which he remained all night
with his audience. This was long before the
day of churches."
The Zone Cl Honors and Awards Night was held at the Clinton Legion on June 15. Three
branches, were presented with zone plaques in memory of former members who put in 30
or more years of service at the zone level. Accepting the plaques were. (left to right):
