They especially commented on the beautiful fall colors in New Brunswick. Theo and Joan Knight trav- elled by bus to the Agawa Can- yon last week. However, I guess the weather wasn't too co- operative, as it rained consider- ably. On Sunday afternoon, Theo and Joan accompanied by Theo's brother Jim, attended the 50th wedding anniversary open house in honor of Ken and Dorothy Whitney, which was held in Orono. Dorothy was for- merly Dorothy Crumb, who at one time lived in the house owned by Lois Daw. On Saturday, Doug and I, and son Ron and Pat travelled as far as Huntsville to view the fall colors. They hadn't really reached peak color in some are- as, but in the Huntsville area it was simply beautiful. Yes, we left the rain behind us, as it was raining here at home when we left. At this Thanksgiving season, I would like to share with you a tribute to Autumn. Lord, thank you for the sea- son of in-between. That delight- ful interlude between the fever of summer and the frosty chill of winter. Make me more aware of October splendor. Help me not to be blown about by the wind called "Hurry," so that I may ap- preciate and enjoy in full meas- ure your wonderful gift of au- tumn. Let us give thanks!

My brother Don and I wired all loose pipes to the ball screen last fall and now, during the past three weeks, I notice the bottom south pipe is miss- ing. A new ball screen costs be- tween $3,000 and $3,500. A portable bench was donat- ed by someone during our win- ter carnival two years ago and this week I noticed the metal framework of one end is miss- ing. During the past three years, by the combined efforts of pri- vate individuals, clubs' dona- tions, and an effort of everyone in the village, plus township grants, we have managed to raise and spend over $10,700 for new park equipment. This does not include any mainte- nance cost. Well, it gives me. great gratification to see the park used so much, you can be assured I am not going to allow this type of damage to prevail without taking drastic action against those responsible. Don't think your age is your protec- tion because there are lots of township road allowances and parklands that need grass cutting next year and lately this is the type of punishments the courts are handing out. They call it so many hours of commu- nity service. A reward of $50 is offered to anyone who can give us the nec- essary information to take ac- tion against those responsible.
