The "rest nook' where you en- joy a break, and have homemade cookies topped off with good hot coffee freshly made, will relax you and the W.I. members will make you very welcome; a warm, friendly group! Pennies for Friendship jars will be placed - in case you may desire to contribute a few pennies or whatever - to help the World organization; the Associated Country Women of the World in their important work helping the poorer nations around the Globe. Something new has been added to the fair this year with shows on Saturday and Monday - the popular cloggers "Step in Time"' group - fascinating to watch - besides all the regular features of the fair. So mark your calendar - you'll find it a pleasure and will look forward to the 1992 eventful fair! Blackstock Fair A Success The 126th annual rural fair at Blackstock was a great success and the rain held off. Guy Scott, president of the Ontario Associa- tion of Agricultural Societies opened the event. All those atten- ding enjoyed the many activities and it does involve just about everyone within the area, which makes for a true community ac- tivity with lots of enthusiasm shown. The president Dale Van Camp and the directors need to be congratulated on another fine fair.

Mrs. Neta Fish and grandson Chad Holland of Cadmus, had an enjoyable time visiting with daughter Audrey and Jim Leishman and family of Reaboro this past week. The 10 year olds William and chad had a royal time with lots of fun and many activities. Very pleased to have son Ar- thur Cawker of Sudbury for a weekend visit with his parents at the farmstead - seems like old times! Also, son Grant Cawker of Oshawa and his father Sam had a fishing excursion during the past weekend - a period of relax- ation and reminiscing for them. On Sunday afternoon, guests at the farm were Sylvia Cawker and daughter Chandre, and Dianne Riccio and son Jacob - all of Scar- borough. Nice to see them again. Nestleton United Church With Glenn Malcolm and girls greeting at the door, a very good attendance for the 11:15 a.m. ser- vice, held in the Sunday School room. It was good to welcome our minister Rev. Dale Davis back from holidays looking rested and fit, using as his sermon theme "Untouchable'" with Alison Malcolm reading the Scripture. Kathy Tromans sang a lovely solo '"The Lily of the Valley" - an old English melody. Gwen Malcolm - the pianist. Sympathy Extended Very saddened to learn of the passing of a good friend Florence Ellicott in days gone by. She was an accomplished homemaker, a born leader in the community and the Women's Institute; her shoes were hard to fill - she was so talented. A highly respected and beloved person. Florence had a heavy cross to bear for many years with ill health. she will be sadly missed by husband Allan and her fine family. Sympathy goes out to the Van Camp family of Blackstock, in the passing of a fine gentleman Mr. Percy Van Camp. He will be very much missed by his family and a host of friends. Another good friend we have lost with the passing of Daisy Goode (nee Wells). She will be sadly missed by family and close friends. Family News Edgar and Anne Emerson of Nestleton, hosted guests from England, Edmonton, New- foundland, Sarnia, Boston and relatives from near and far, on the occasion of the large wedding, when their son Doug married Tracy Sheeny of Toronto.
