P.Tf-r- Fom THE COLBORNE CHRONICLE, Thursday, March 1st, 1962 Brighton News by Bette Moore Chronicle goes into orbit! It's a pretty safe "bet" it has done just that and therefore the North'd Publishers, Ltd., have our hearty congratulations! Congratulations too, to our manager-editor, Mr. William Harrison, a member of the board of directors of the new company. Women's Bridge Club permits husbands to join! Only for a one night stand however. Dinner at Tops Motel, Belleville, preceded an evening of bridge at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Marshall recently when the group entertained in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Brian Groh. Crystal salad plates were chosen to say, "We'll miss you", as a farewell gift for the Grohs. Mr. Gerald Langdon was a patient in Trenton Memorial Hospital last week. Mr. Langdoi other these days. For the Junior Red Cross, however, it was solely profit thanks to Grade 8-A. Under the direction and assistance of teacher, Mrs. Gibson, two white elephant sales, one held two weeks ago and one held last week netted $24.65. The students sold candy, comic books, etc. Mrs. Joe Weir fell Sunday night at the Brighton Baptist Church. In Trenton Memorial Hospital, it has been reported Mrs. Weir is suffering from a concussion. Surprise! Happy Birthday! These were the words that truly surprised Mrs. Clarence Day when she was greeted by relatives and friends at her own home on Saturday night. Taking the evening's refreshments along with their good wishes to the Day home were Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Hetherington, Mr. at home and reported i and Mrs. Donald Vincent, Mr. feeling considerably better. Vinson McLean of Spring Valley was host recently at a skating and toboganing party for school friends. February for Miami and the Bahamas. Accompanying the Brummells on their southern vacation was Mr. Jack Orrill. The trio expect to be away for a month. and Mrs. William Gagne, and Mrs. Alf Corby, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Nichols and Mrs. Garnet McMaster. After the initial shock, the group settled down to an evening of euchre with birthday mums of yellow and the ever beautiful sight of New accountant -- H. J. Mc-Millen -- namely provides a new twist. Wonder if the one letter difference in names between H. J. McMillen and President H. J. McMullen will prove the Imperial Bank of Commerce had added one more service' They have surely provided the need, so perhaps will serve their depositors to better enunciation and better handwriting. The sudden death of Mr. William Nesbitt on Saturday brought loss to the community as weB ns to his family. Surviving Mr. Nesbitt are his wife, Helena, and daughters, Betty, and Eleanor. Our sympathy is extended the immediate family and relatives. The Brighton news last week had a devious route to the Colborne Chronicle office. The snow blowing across ray. drive made Don Vincents Monday "pick-up" trip impossible so when Frankie Simpson came in to plow late Monday night he took the with him to try to get to Don before his Tuesday morning Colborne trip. If he hadn't made it . . . you'd have been sans news so . . . we'll say "thanks" to both Frankie and Don. College and the hard work of helping pastor the Anglican flock in suburban districts Ottawa seem to agree with Jim Small of Colborne. I wi mail box last week when Jim stopped to say hello and to give me the "ha-ha" for thinking I could inveigle 6-month Mamselle into staying at the driveway gate by bribing her with my pocket full of cut-up hot dogs as rewarding "bits". At any rate, Jim looked great and it was good to see him. Crime, no matter how small just doesn't pay! An ex-summer resident of this area was out of town last week and, feelinj pain, decided to make a longdistance call. He did, and gather he talked longer than his financial status would permit for the long-distance operator caught up with him by certaining his name and address. Can't you just imagine the detailed explanation that will doubtless be requested when the invoice from the telephone company reaches homeT It was an impressive sight Sunday at the United Church the Boy Scouts, Cubs, Girl Guides and Brownies attended ce and sat in a body. Reverend B. B. Snow presented merit badges to those who completed religious instruction. Those boys receiving their bad-vere George Marshall, Peter and Philip Hamilton, Ronny Boes and Wilbert Kemp. Astronaut John Glenn' ularity would certainly seem to be well placed for surely few men could remain modest and humble after receiving almost minute-to-minute ovation while making an address to Cong] eems to have just the r quantity of seriousness, humility and humour which, mingled with his evident sincerity serve to place him in the "A" class by all who hear him. Listening to him or merely watching him is to simultaneously place the word "hope" beside the word "future". Welcome to Mrs. Oscar Ding-an who has joined our growing family of Chronicle subscribers.
