WESLEYVILLE and DISTRICT The early morning sun creeps silently around the blind, tracing silver slants of light in my darkened room. It traces a silver trail over my face, and I roll over. No use. Sighing, I crawl out bed, my feet touching the floor lightly. Quietly, so as not to awaken the rest of the family, I ease open my door and tip-toe quietly down the stairs. I sit on the window seat wrapping my arms around myself. Blinking in the light that filters through the window, I gaze out across the field. I see the sun peeking over the green tree-tops. The sky is rosy; almost iridescent. I see the rolling hills end abruptly to give way to a gurgling creek. A light breeze causes the long grasses and trees to sway slightly. A bird swoops gracefully overhead, ducking suddenly, then rising, disappearing disappearing into the morning mist. Tugging the window open slightly, I hear the trees rustling in the breeze. A bird chirps noisily then pauses, waiting for the answering call. The creek swirls over rocks and grass, looking rushing and impatient one minute, then A new executive for the federal Liberal Party of Durham-Northumberland was elected on Monday, September 15, at the Acres Restaurant, near Hampton. Seen here are: Will Capeling, Treasurer; Alice Allchin, Secretary; Audrey Martin, Member ship Secretary; and President Francine Newton.

A bird hops through the field in search of food. The mist is rising as is the sun. In the distance, I hear a train rumbling by. The town has begun to awaken from a peaceful slumber. It is morning. Top Ewe at Edmonton Show (Intended for last week) It was a lovely autumn morning, September 21st, the first day of a new season, for the drive to church service. At Welcome, Rev. Sedgwick was assisted by Michelene Ough in illustrating the children's story. He asked her if she could write her name by throwing a packet of pellets over her shoulder, with her eyes shut. She could throw them alright but the scattered ' spots on the red rug showed no resemblance to her name. No matter how often it was tried, it could not be done by chance, and neither could our wonderful wonderful complex world have been created by chance. There is a plan. Many of today's troubles stem from the fact too many people claim there is no God, so there is none to whom man is finally accountable. accountable. Belief in God, a caring God, is the basis for the kingdom kingdom we pray for. The choir's anthem, accompanied by Stephen Sword at the piano, was 'The Heavens are Telling', Telling', with the inspiring words, 'The wonders of his works' made more so by the joy and enthusiasm of the singing. A basket of glads and other fall flowers brought a little of the color of the out doors into the church. The offering was received by Arnold Thorndyke and Allin Osborne, and the congregation was greeted at the door by Gwen Newton and Margaret Elliott. On this fine day, people enjoyed the opportunity opportunity of visiting with each other after the worship hour.

Fields full of the same are beautiful even if they show poor husbandry. Maples, sumac and red willow are flaming scarlet but it is sad to see so many maples dead at the top.
