The windup dance came off in great style as well. With the conclusion of the fair and the return of school next week, we must realize that summer is well on its way - what a sad fact! The annual Mountjoy Picnic was held at the home of Marga- ret Mountjoy on Sunday after- noon with a good number of the clan returning from their vari- ous locations. As usual, a boun- tiful pot luck dinner was a high- light, along with much visiting. On Sunday morning, Rev. Dale Davis preached his last sermon as minister of Black- stock United Church after be- ing here for 11 years. He and Anita will be moving to their cottage at Lake Kennisis for the fall. The new minister, Rev. Da- vid Shearman, will be conduct- ing the service next Sunday. He and his wife Carol and two sons will be moving into the manse this week. A warm welcome is extended to them.

For several years, Jack was Joyce's principal dur- ing her teaching days at Brook- lin, so many friendships were renewed that evening.

By Jason Crosier The members of the swine club met at Abe Stouffer's farm in Woodville for their final meeting. We looked at purebred York, purebred Landrace, and crossbred hogs, and compared the breeds. We were also shown what to look for in good breed- ing stock, and which stock should be culled. Each member was given a short quiz to an- swer and refreshments were served at the end of the meet- ing. Our thanks go to Abe Stouf- fer for hosting this very infor- mative meeting. Achievement day was on Aug. 28 at Blackstock Fair. The pen- ning and showring looked great thanks to the efforts of many 4- H members and their families and friends who helped to paint, transport, and set up the pen- ning which was donated to the club by Herman Van Kessel, and welded into a uniform size by Eric O'Brien of Erics Mobile Welding.
