Chelsea is a lively young miss and lots of fun to watch! She does love to see the cattle but not always lucky. Very saddened to learn of the passing of a good friend Ralph Wilbur. He was such a fine friend to one and all, and Elsie will surely miss him. Our deep- est sympathy to Elsie and his family. Gone but will never be forgotten!

Sympathy extended to area families [e-------------- Blackstock With the beginning of school along with the completion of Blackstock and Port Perry fairs as well as the CNE we certainly know that the seasons are changing. Everyone seems to agree with the statement that summer just flew by this year. We hope with the coming of fall, it will mark the end of the many severe summer storms that have been around this summer. Another very severe storm went through this area on Thursday morning. Our community was sad- dened with the news of the pass- ing of Bob Smith of Port Perry who operated the Blackstock Hardware store with Neil and Marg Lee for many years. Sym- pathy is extended to his wife Pat and sons Michael and Chris. The funeral was held on Satur- day at the Blackstock United Church. Word was received of the passing of Douglas Taylor of Norland but originally from this area. His funeral was held in Bowmanville. Sympathy is ex- tended to his wife and family as well as to his relatives in this area. ~ Dr. and Mrs. Jack Marlow of Dundas were last Sunday luncheon guests of Neil and Elaine Bailey and later visited Marion's mother Mrs. Ruth Thompson at the Port Perry Vil- la. Sunday afternoon visitors of Elaine and Neil Bailey were Mr. Gerald Reader of Scarborough and his father Mr. John Reader of Port Perry who were both part of the staff of R.H. Cornish Public School when Elaine taught Grade 1 there. Congratulations to the orga- nizers of Port Perry Fair on an- - other successful fair over the weekend.
