URAL We always hear the great fish stories of the big one that got away, but Merv Pugh has proof that he caught a big 43", 22 1b. muskie a few weeks ago in Bal- sam Lake. It took him about an hour to tire him out and land it in the boat. The weekly euchre on Thurs- day evening had 11 tables. The winners for the evening: Elsie Forbes, Sarah Brunton, Doro- thy Butson, Merv Storie, Isabel McCully, Harry Hill. Pa i Merv Pugh Once again, we extend sym- pathy to families in the commu- nity. Rev. Charlie Clarke passed away early Saturday morning after many weeks of nor health. He will be missed by family and friends. extended Marg Sweetman passed away very suddenly Friday evening. Her mother Leta Doupe was just buried a little over a week ago. All your friends in Prince Albert are thinking of the mem- bers of the family at this time. Merv and Ilean Pugh held a pre-Thanksgiving gathering on Saturday when their family were home. Also attending were Pearl Gostick and Gordon and Agnes Gostick. Then on Sunday some of the family attended the 173rd anniversary at Clare- mont where Pearl and Ilean had attended church. What a beautiful season with all the colored leaves, fall flow- ers, orange pumpkins in the fields, the calling of the geese. I et us all get out and really en- joy the Thanksgiving season. by Peggy Bredin To celebrate Thanksgiving, Prince Albert School has a novel idea. The whole school has been divided into four groups. Each group is assigned to a teacher. They will be doing crafts on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, they will be ex- plaining their crafts to other groups. Thursday is the day that they will be making their vegetable soup, which will be eaten on Friday. Parents are asked to send a loonie for extras, a non- perishable donation to the Food Bank and a vegetable for the soup. Students are also asked to bring a mug, bowl, spoon and cupin a plasticbag. I think that they are in for a great time. Congratulations, what a fantasticidea. PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER I hope everyone managed driving through the construc- tion on the Causeway Friday. What a day to pick to work on such a busy stretch of highway! The sympathy of our commu- nity is extended to the Clarke family on the death of Rev. Charles Clarke of Prince Al- bert.

Last Wednesday evening, be- cause of the quick thinking of Mike and Diane Pelletier, the barn owned by the Hunter fami- ly, Windy Brae, on the 12th Concession, was saved from probable total destruction. The Pelletiers, realizing no one was home, and with the help of the neighbors and a power washer, were able to contain the fire to a small area until the fire trucks arrived.
