This area seems to have its
share of `tribute' shows, the
latest being one for Elvis in
Blyth. Patsy Cline was
another recently produced.
Buddy Holly is currently
being paid tribute at the
Grand Theatre hi London. So
I have chosen a song, "Walk
the Line',' that is easily identi-
fied with another singer.
In 1956, Johnny Cash was a
newlywed performing in
Gladewater, Texas. Between
sets, Johnny penned a song
intended to be a pledge of
faithfulness. The words of the
song were assurance to his
wife that he could be trusted.
Marrying his words to a chord
progression he created his
signature song.
Over the years, as we know,
Cash had trouble walking the
line, succumbing to avarietyof
temptations and addictions. As
did Cash, so did the members
of his group. After a great deal
of tragedy and loss, and with
the help of June Carter Cash,
the man in black did turn his
life around. Sadly not so for
many of his musical group.
If you found April a busy
month, look out for May. I
have a number of events to
mention that you might want
to take in.
Hullett Central School and
their SAC committee will be
holding their annual Fun
Night and Auction at the
Blyth Community Centre on
Friday, May 6th. There are a
host of activities planned for
all ages that evening from
5:30 to 8:30. It is a major fund
raiser for the extras that make
education more fun and
interesting at Hullett. Plan to
attend, help out or donate an
item.
The Huron County Wallc[s]
for Alzheimer's take place in
Clinton, Exeter and Wingham
on Saturday, May 7th, a great
way to get some exercise
while supporting a good
cause.
Later that day, between
4:30 and 7:00 p.m., the
Londesborough Lions are
hosting their annual Fish Fry
at the Community Hall.
Sunday, May 15 is the `run
around the square' in Goder-
ich, also for a great cause. It is
in memory of Dave Mounsey,
a policeman who died on the
way to an incident. Money
from the run will be directed
toward putting defibrillators
in public spaces.
I hear Grades 4 to 8
at Hullett are deep into
rehearsals for their operetta
being presented on stage at
the Blyth Theatre. The pro-
duction, "Clowns; is too large
for the school auditorium,
hence the change in location.
How great for the children to
be able to use the Blyth space!
Tickets are in short supply so
speak to family with children
taking part on May 11.
Londesborough United's
rescheduled `Songfest' is May
15.
A few items have been
donated this past week for the
Clan William Hospital in
South Africa. Morag Watt,
who visits there each sum-
mer, is hoping more of you
will find items to ship this
June. These re-hab items can
be left at Radford's Farm
Equipment or the United
Church.
If you read this column in
The Citizen, isn't it wonderful
to realize this local newspa-
per has been declared the
best community newspaper
in Canada in its circulation
class. But you already knew
that, didn't you? Kudos to the
staff in Blyth!
As is our habit, we watched
the Geico Nascar race on TV
last Sunday from Tallegada. It
was accident riddled making
it seem more like a demoli-
tion derby that a car race.
However the amazing thing
about such a race is that there
were no serious injuries.
Their car safety measures
eventually are incorporated
into passenger vehicles. Good
news for you and I.
LONDESBOROUGH
UNITED CHURCH
Londesborough United
Church celebrated Rural Life
Sunday on May 1. The service
celebrated the earth as part of
the world of God. Also known
as Rogation Sunday, the ser-
vice is a prayer for help with
crops and offers thanks for har-
vest and growth.
Rev. Fletcher remarked that
the magic of growth is
implanted in every seed, and
God's spirit makes every crea-
ture beautiful. All of nature
works together for the good of
the world. Man and God work
together to fulfill the dreams of
farming. Supporting scripture
passages were Genesis 1:29
and Mark4:1-9.
Tom Pollard offered a beau-
tiful rendition of John Lemon's
"Imagine'; a prayer for every-
one around the world to live in
peace.
Jane Hoggart read the Min-
ute for Missions which
informed congregants about
the Heart Gardens. Congrega-
tions across Canada created
heart gardens in 2015 to hon-
our the memory of Aboriginal
children who died in the resi-
dential schools over the 120
years of their existence.
During children's message,
they learned that in order to
grow the vegetables one
wanted, they would have to
buy and plant those specific
seeds. Likewise children who
become the adults God
planned them to be are raised
in the ways of God. Coming
to Sunday School is part of
that growth.
Following the children's
time Terry remarked that the
Sunday School is in need of
superintendent(s) come Sep-
tember so the children of
Londesborough United can
continue to grow in the circle
of God.
Thanks are extended to all
who enjoyed a Swiss Chalet
supper recently. Treasurer
Ken reported a profit in
excess of $1000.00.
