Bert Batstone of Ajax was guest speaker. At the close of the service, a farewell gift was presented to Darryl as he has taken on the job of organ- ist at Brooklin. by Peggy Bredin I'm sure the neighbors around the church were won- dering what was going on. Dar- ryl Linnington arranged an- other terrific night of music. The Whitby Brass Band opened up the program with such toe- -stomping numbers as "In the Mood", a Scottish med- ley and a 'medley of Old West songs Deanna Dolstra and her ac- 'companist Mike entertained on her fiddle. You know she's good because she's teaching Darryl. Syncona, a Caribbean group, taught us that Hildy Smith can play the steel pan, and Michelle Hoffman can sure move on the dance floor or in the aisle. They were awesome. Then we turned into Celtic music provided by Brian and Loretta who are just over from Ireland. The Cart- wright High School band could surely use Loretta in their flute section. Her fingers were just flying. Wow! Then we listened to the Edge of Dixie play Sweet Georgia Brown, Lady of Spain, Don't Get Around Much Anymore and others. The program ended with Smak Dabb. They filled the church with harmony and laughter. The stewards are now going to meet to see how they can re- pair the floorboards and the walls. Everyone is invited to help out. hanks, Darryl from all of Prince Albert. We'll miss you but time move on. Best of luck to both you and Karen. Now on to other news. Do you remember last weekend's Terry Fox Run? Well, one of our resi- dents walked 5 km and would then not accept a ride home. He proceeded to walk home to his daughter's on Josephine Street. Congratulations to Bill Dickin- son and many thanks to his grandson Ricky for telling us. He is very proud of his grandfa- ther as weall are. Heather Bredin and her fast moving soccer team won the championship in Pickering. Ron Cosway did an amazing job leading the 17 and unders to this victory.

The flowers which were placed in the sanctuary last Sunday were in loving mem- ory of the late Mrs. Jean Stachow of Myrtle, who passed away a week ago at her home, following a linger- ing illness. Her funeral was held from Myrtle United Church last Friday which was largely attended. Jean was actively involved in Myr- tle United Church, a fine mu- sician and a fine person. Jean has served as church or- ganist at Burns on many oc- casions. She will be greatly missed by her many, many friends. We extend our sin- cere sympathy to her family during this sad time. At time of writing, Ernie Humphrey is a patient as the Oshawa General Hospital. We hope he will soon be well enough to return home again.

Guest speaker for the evening will be Mike Til- laart of Dutch Masters Nur- series. This meeting takes place at Brooklin United Church. It is nice to be back home again after travelling for a little over two weeks to the Canadian West, having trav- elled into British Columbia. Visited with Doug's cousin and his wife, John and Judy Stuttaford and family of Ed- monton for a few days, then enjoying the beautiful majes- tic rockies and scenery from Jasper to Banff - and the weather, it couldn't have been better. On our return trip, travel- ling east from Thunder Bay, we viewed the Terry Fox Me- morial. A beautiful pictu- resque setting high up on a hill overlooking the highway. As we started the car to drive on, a young chap perhaps in his late teens was running up toward the memorial. It was rather touching, to say the least. It is gratifying to hear about the great re- sponse to the Annual Terry Fox Run, which was held the day after we were there. 1 read in a local paper that this year more than 560,000 peo- ple around the world walked, ran or cycled a route in Ter- ry's name. The amount of money donated goes up every year because of increased participation.
