by Joyce Kelly At the Blackstock Rec. Centre on Friday evening, a large number attended the annual Durham Federation of Agriculture dinner, meeting and dance. Chairman Brian Geer welcomed everyone who then en- joyed a delicious roast beef dinner prepared and served by the members of the O.N.O.. Speaker for the evening was the Rev. Bob Rumball who kept the audience spell-bound with his dynamic talk on his work with the deaf. Quite a number of door prizes were won. The'remainder of the even- ing was spent dancing to the music of King's D.J. Services. On Saturday evening the Varie- ty Night sponsored by the Blackstock Agricultural Society was a fine success. Richard MacKenzie was M.C. for the pro- gramme which included the Cart- wright High School Band, vocal numbers by Rebecca Helsdon, Dave Wootten, Frances Grove, the Nestletones, Karen and John Waters and Herb Vine. The Good Tyme Cloggers and Magician Steve Hepburn entertained. A Linda Kyte played two piano solos. Indeed it was a wide varie- ty of numbers. The proceeds of the evening go to the Grandstand repairs. Heartiest congratulations to Daryl Dutkewich who won the Ultimate Prize Package from the Toronto Sun.

Reaching Out -- courtesy of -- WAGG-McDERMOTT- PANABAKER FUNERAL HOME, PORT PERRY HAROLD WAGG The "Visitation or Wake" When you have a period of sharing often referred to as "calling hours' you permit family and friends to express their personal feel- ings and respect about the deceased. This sharing is important to the bereaved family. It can also be important to those outside the family who may share a special closeness to the person who died. The visitation in the setting of the funeral home provides the best opportunity for this interaction. In some areas and in some circumstances it may seem best to publish or restrict visitation hours. Discuss this with the funeral director who can counsel you about the value of visitation, especially with the body present.
