Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Hall and children, Mari-lynn and Scott, enjoyed their planned "detour" and arrived Thursday evening for a long week-end (and what a weekend!) with Mirs. Hall's parents, MR. and MRS. A. H. WILLIAMS. There's only one way to describe a celebration Williams-style and that is "BIG" . . the Williams managed to wrap-up three celebrations in as many days!

LAURIE ANN, JILL and MICHELLE FENAUGHTY and their parents have exchanged their Salem abode for Presqu'ile and are "here" for the A few days ago I read a brief article slanted for Father's Day. As the author tried to emphasize his point he sketched an interesting word-picture of a little boy struggling for all his worth as he attempted to stretch hi; young legs so he could put his feet in the same footprints his father was making in the fresh-ly fallen snow. The "gist" being that the father was just leaving the house to begin making his usual rounds of the local taverns.

While this about one of the more major "sins" of parental behaviour I couldn't help but wonder aboui the minor activities of parents Make a good mother's day article loo . . . surely all the burden doesn't fall on "father".

R. E. GRAIG of Peterborough were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Clare Wright on Sunday. Guess I'll have to take back verything I've thought and said bout grandparents being completely "nuts".

Why do I insert in the "news" when I'm not really a grandmother at all? . . probably because the new mother has always been like second daughter and I'm acting almost like a real live grandmother and can't for the world, think, much less write this weeks news. Better phone so there will be something to read next week. 475-0107 lest you've forgotten!
