The note had been written by Kyle & Kory Wilber of Fowler, Michigan. No date was on it, so we don't know how long ago the balloon was sent aloft. A reply has been sent to Fowler, Michigan. Great fun! We extend our sincere sym- pathy to Mrs. Bertha Emm, and her sons Tony and Gerry and their families in the recent pass- ing of Mr. Sydney Emm. Mr. Emm's funeral was conducted from Burns Church last Thursday afternoon. Rev. McEntyre of- ficiated, assisted by Pastor Charles Watson from Washington, D.C., a brother-in- law of Mr. Emm. Grand-daughter Julie Emm read a beautiful poem as a tribute to her grandfather. We will lovingly remember Mr. Emm's delightful children's stories as told to the young people from time to time, at Sunday mor- ning worship service. Mr. & Mrs. Emm arrived here from England 23 years ago to make their home in this area, and to be near their family. Ken & Elaine Heron from Bracebridge, and Scott & Domini- que McAndless from Montreal visited with Rose Heron over the weekend; also visiting with Ted at the Whitby General Hospital. Last Sunday, Rose Heron ac- companied by Lois Daw attended the baptism of Rose's great grand-daughter, Heather Christine Lowes of Pickering, daughter of Brian & Lenore Lowes. The baptism took place at St. Andrew's Church, Scar- borough. Karen McAndless preached the sermon, and is look- ing forward to spending the sum- mer months in India, working with Missionaries Pauline Brown and Deanne Wadsworth. The Eleanor Knight Group of the W.M.S. will meet at the home of Ray Death on Wednesday even- ing of this week. Next Sunday is Christian Fami- ly Sunday, and Mother's Day.

We will begin the evening with dessert & coffee at 7:30 followed with a varied programme. Our special guests will be Mrs. Shirley Baster & Mrs. Dorothy Mander- son.
