agreement between rancher Lyle James and his neighbors, the Canoe Creek band, was announced Wednesday night.\u201cWith this, we respectfully call on those at the camp to lay down their arms and come out peacefully,\u201d Canoe Creek Chief Agnes Snow said.The announcement came a couple of hours after two brothers walked out of the camp and were taken into custody by the RCMP.They were the first two to leave since police sealed off the rebel encampment nearly a week ago.James, who bought the huge ranch more than 20 years ago, said there will be some restrictions on the use of the land and the deal has a time limit.But he couldn't say what that was because it depended on the cycle of the sundance ceremonies performed there.James allowed native sun- dancers to use the Gustafson Lake parcel

question is expected to ask Quebecers whether they agree that Quebec become a sovereign country and offer to negotiate with Canada a new political and economic partnership.But Johnson said the chances

Cha- gnon is counting his blessings and praising police after getting back thousands of dollars of equipment stolen over the weekend.Chagnon was away when a burglar or burglars broke into his garage, stealing a machine used for grooving barn floors to provide better traction for farm animals.The $23,000 machine, as well as various tools were loaded onto one of his trailers and towed away.Members of the Quebec Police Force were called to the scene when a neighbor noticed the trailer was missing.When Chagnon returned home Sunday evening, he informed police of the extent of the burglary.Chagnon is a pioneer in the floor grooving industry in Quebec.In the last three years his work has taken him to farms in the Maritimes, New England, Quebec and Ontario.Now with four of the machines in operation, Chagnon has as many as eight people working for him.The weekend theft could have proven disastrous.Cha- gnon said he estimates the theft resulted in almost $20,000 in lost business.He's expecting to work through the coming long weekend to make up some of the lost time.Chagnon credits the quick work of the QPF for the recovery of his machinery and tools.\u201cThere's a small force in Richmond, but they appreciated the fact that I had a business to run and that I needed that equipment,\u201d Chagnon said.The police were also helped by a number of people who reported seeing unusual goings-on along River Road that night.Chagnon said even people he doesn\u2019t know called up with tips on where the thieves were.\u201cI had one farmer call me up to tell me he had seen my stuff go by his place on the road,\u201d Chagnon said.But next time Chagnon won't have to depend on the observant eyes of his neighbors.He has already installed an alarm system in his garage, and is planning to purchase a guard dog.Wednesday evening Cha- gnon went to the Richmond QPF detachment, where he picked up his equipment.After a little checking he discovered that it was all there and in working order.The grooving machine will be back at work today.Chagnon still doesn\u2019t know who broke into his garage, or why they wanted to steal his specialized equipment.He said he doesn\u2019t yet have all the details from the police.\u201cI only know that the investigation is still ongoing.\u201d Walk and roll comes to the streets of Sherbrooke Money for special equipment SHERBROOKE (BT) \u2014 The

already gone down in history as the longest trial in the annals of the St.Francis legal district.Four years after the sinking of the freighter \u2014 which police say was carrying 1500 kilos of cocaine for Colombia's Medal- lin drug cartel, the trial is far from over.And it could be delayed even further if one of the defendants wins his challenge before the Quebec Court of Appeals.Alleged mastermind Paulin Bolduc, who fled the country on the eve of the trial in November 1993, was recaptured by Colombian drug enforcement agents in Santa Marta Colombia in April.His lawyer Michel Dussault argues that since Bolduc was tried in absentia, the case against him is not valid.The appeal, which was to be heard in Appeals Court in Montreal Wednesday morning, was delayed until next Wednesday because Dussault\u2019s case was not ready.TRIAL RESUMES In the meantime, Quebec Court Judge Luc Trudel resumed the trial in Sherbrooke as the Crown continued to present its case against the co-accused.Aside from Bolduc, who lived in Massawippi, they include Townshippers Daniel \u201cDanny\u201d Neeson of St-Denis de Bromp- ton, Roch Delisle of Sherbrooke, Jacques Delisle of Ascot, Roger Denton and Neil Peters of Nova Scotia and Alvaro Rendon of Miami, Florida.Except for Bolduc all are on bail and were on hand at the Sherbrooke courthouse Wednesday for the second day of arguments by Crown lawyers.Because he fled, Bolduc is being held at the maximum security Parthenais Street jail in Montreal, and is commuting to the Sherbrooke courthouse under guard and restrained by handcuffs and chains.Two armed Quebec Police Force officers have joined the two courtroom guards for extra security during his court appearances.In court Wednesday Bolduc complained to the judge that he was forced to commute every day, and that he remained handcuffed and chained all day including mealtime.Although he said he was not responsible for prisoner security, Judge Trude! commented that although Bolduc was entitled to humane conditions, he had already skipped the country once and the guards had to Jean Arel and Diane Roy discuss details of the inaugural tour's route.take stiffer security measures to ensure he would appear in court.Almost two dozen men were arrested by the Quebec Police Force, the RCMP and U.S.drug enforcement agents in Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Florida in April 1991 after the Marine Transport sunk off the coast of Newfoundland.The 11 members of the Marine Transport's Latin American crew, who were rescued by the coast guard and arrested, were released in September 1991 after spending the summer living in a commune in Ogden awaiting trial.The ship\u2019s captain, Modesto Valerio disappeared in November 1993, two weeks after Bolduc.He remains at large and still faces charges.Two of the accused have been convicted.Montrealer William RECORDPERRY BEATON England pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 11 years in prison this past spring.Frede- \u2018rico Polanco Perez, the Marine Transport\u2019s administrator who became a key Crown witness against the others, began an eight-year sentence in 1992 after pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy.This week Crown attorneys Paul Crépeau and Claude Chartrand are presenting their case against the seven co- accused, establishing connections between the men mostly through transcripts of police wiretaps and electronic eavesdropping.The case against the seven remaining defendants is expected to last another couple of weeks as the Crown and a handful of defence lawyers present their final arguments before Judge Trudel.

the reasons she has remained indoors is fear of bumping into the man charged in connection with the death of her son.Scott Côté, a 25-year old friend and neighbor of the Pierces, has been charged with impaired driving causing death, dangerous and imprudent driving, and driving with a blood-alcohol level of over .08.The accident occured just after midnight June 10 when Pierce and several friends were standing on the roadside after consuming a few bottles of beer.Pierce was apparently crossing to the other side of the road when Cé6té rounded the curve and struck him.He died shortly afterward in his step-father\u2019s arms.\u201cI know Scott is hurting too, but he is the one who took the boy I love away from me, and I just can\u2019t get past the anger and bitterness I feel.I can\u2019t help feeling bitter when I see him playing ball and laughing and enjoying life when I know Jason can't.\u201d Pierce says since returning from the family\u2019s former home in Nova Scotia, where Jason is buried, she\u2019s avoided driving past the spot where he was struck down.\u201cA friend called to invite me over but I knew I'd have to drive over the spot where Jason died and I just couldnt do it.\u201d Jason\u2019s bedroom remains untouched, his bed neatly made and his clothes as they were June 10.\u201cI couldn\u2019t bear to put his things away right now and Mike said if it takes two years to do it, we'll take two years.\u201d Pierce says the only positive note in the tragedy has been the support the family has received from the community.\u201cYou'd think we had lived here all our lives the way people have treated us,\u201d said Mike.\u201c- We'll never be able to repay them for all they've done.\u201d While cleaning out Jason's school locker, the principal at Massey Vanier High School found a composition Jason had written but didn\u2019t have a chance to pass in before his death.Init he expresses his feelings about another Mansonvil- le youth, killed just days earlier

McCULLY One ght about five days ago.Teen\u2019s essay echoed fate DEATH IN MANSONVILLE An essay by Jason Pierce One night about five days ago, a boy named Martin, who was 18 years old, decided to go to the bar with his friends.After an hour or so, his friend Patrick took him home because he was getting pretty drunk.When he arrived home, Martin jumped in his father\u2019s brand new GMC truck that his father had just bought a month ago.The truck didn\u2019teven have any insurance onit yet and his father was still making payments on it.So Martin took off with it without his father knowing.He started to go very fast down the road because he was drunk and he probably did not know how fast he was going or what he was doing.When he came to a sharp turn he had already had his truck speedometer up to 140 km/ hr so he started to slide and he went into the ditch and flipped the truck once, then hit a culvert and flipped again.At the same time, his seatbelt snapped in half and he flew out the driver\u2019s side window and flew 150 feet.Apparently he broke his neck when he landed on the ground.After about 10 minutes, his cousin Shawn passed by and saw his uncle\u2019s truck smashed up in the field.Shawn went to the Mansonville bar and called his father and told him that his uncle\u2019s truck is smashed up and he should come down and check it out.When Shawn's father came down to look at the accident, he could not find anyone, so he thought that maybe someone had picked Martin up.Then he decided to take the flashlight and look in the field.When he did, he saw his own nephew laying dead on the ground so he ran to his truck and picked up the cellular phone and called the ambulance.When the ambulance arrived, they picked Martin up and took him to the morgue.Then the hospital phoned Martin's parents to tell them what happened to their son.Before long, everyone found out and they could not believe what happened because he was only 18 years old and it didn\u2019t seem possible.The next day everyone was just sitting in town depressed, because everyone was his friend.Monday was the funeral parlor visitation to see him for the very very last time.I didn\u2019t go because I have never been to a funeral \u2014 and I sure hope I never will until I get older.On Tuesday he was buried in the Mansonville cemetery.Ever since that day his father has been telling his family that he should not have drank when Martin was a kid.He thinks it was his fault for setting a bad example for Martin when he was young.I think that it wasn\u2019t all his father\u2019s fault.I just think that Martin, who was the one who died, just never thought about what he was doing.(signed) JASON PIERCE Martin Pouliot is one of seven young people in the tiny community of Mansonville to

the expansion of Chadéric, a subsidiary company in Lennoxville.Chandéric will be increasing its output of upholstered swivel rocking chairs by 50 per cent.Racine, who sharpened his spurs as industrial commissioner for Sherbrooke, cited a rapidly growing US market as the prime reason for the production increase.This expansion will require a nearly $500,000 investment and will create nearly 30 new jobs.The two projects have not escaped the attention of premier Jacques Parizeau, who is planning to visit the Shermag : plant in Scotstown this Friday to speak with the employees.speak and write in

\u2014 U.N.NATO continues air offensive in Bosnia SARAJEVO (AP-CP) \u2014 Waves of NATO planes attacked Bosnian-Serb artillery, ammunition and command sites Wednesday in the largest military engagement in the western alliance\u2019s history.NATO and UN officials warned the Serbs to halt attacks on civilians and return to peace talks, or brace for more.Canada backed the NATO air strikes.Defence Minister David Col- lenette said the strikes were in retaliation for the Serbs\u2019 mortar attack on Sarajevo on Monday that killed 37 people and wounded more than 80.\u201cThey were very foolish and very ill-advised and have to be condemned for what they did,\u201d Collenette said in Toronto.\u201cAttacks on safe areas cannot be tolerated and will not go unanswered,\u201d Foreign Affairs Minister André Ouellet said in Ottawa.Collenette also said about 1,000 Canadian peacekeepers and support staff will start leaving Croatia next Wednesday.A second flight will leave between Sept.8 and Sept.10 and a final flight will depart Sept.13.He said the soldiers are no longer needed in the area.Some support troops will remain at a supply base in Croatia.The 800 Canadian peacekeepers in Bosnia are all in Muslim-held territory.They went on a higher alert because of the raids and are likely to stay that way for the next few days.The Canadians have largely been confined to their base at Visoko since May, when Bosnian-government forces blocked them from observing their campaign to reclaim territory lost to the Serbs.After the last NATO air raid in May, hundreds of Canadians and other UN peacekeepers were taken hostage by the Serbs and held for several weeks.The widespread NATO bombing raids against the Serbs began around 2 a.m.local time Wednesday and continued into the night, officials said.Late Wednesday afternoon, a French jet was shot down near the Bosnian-Serb capital Pale.Its two crew members were seen parachuting from the burning plane.\u201cFind the pilots! Find the pilots!\u201d Radovan Karadzic, Bosnian-Serb leader, shouted after learning a plane had been shot down.There were later unconfirmed reports the two pilots were captured.Bosnian-Serb television later showed remnants of the downed jet, a French Mirage 2000, and two unexploded missiles lying on a hillside.Meanwhile, the Spanish mission to the European Union said in Brussels five EU representatives, including the chief peace monitor in the former Yugoslavia and two Spanish military officers, were killed near Sarajevo.The other two dead may have been a Dutchman and an Irishman travelling with the group, which went missing Monday, officials said.Hans van den Broek, the EU foreign affairs commissioner, declined to rule out the possibility they had been taken hostage by Bosnian Serbs and killed.Bosnian-Serb news media said the five were killed in the NATO air strikes.Groups of NATO jets were heard over the Bosnian capital Sarajevo in the hours leading up to midnight, though no explosions could be heard.Capt.Jim Mitchell, a NATO spokesman at the alliance\u2019s Naples, Italy, headquarters, said shortly after midnight: \u201cThe airstrikes are continuing.Our mission is continuing.\u201d UN commanders told the Bosnian Serbs the air attacks would last as long as there are heavy weapons threatening Sarajevo, one of four remaining UN \u201csafe areas.\u201d Editorial 6\u2014The RECORD\u2014Thursday, August 31, 1995 Women far from welcome in China With the United Nations\u2019 Fourth World Conference on Women starting next week in China, one has to wonder how serious UN officials are about the deplorable status of women around the world.Why would the UN host such an important conference in China, where women are treated like less than second-class citizens?The UN has traditionally held such conferences in odd locations, like last year\u2019s pupulation conference in Cairo, Egypt, with some success.Perhaps UN officials thought by holding the conference in China that it would force the authoritarian government to relax its grip on the lives of women.As usual, the UN was wrong.Chinese officials have done everything possible to make the conference as meaningless as possible.The NGO (Nongovernmental organization) Women\u2019s Forum \u2014 sponsored by the UN \u2014 has been moved an hour away from the UN Conference.The NGO forums traditionally work in conjuction with and serve as a lobby network for the UN Conference, but not in China.The NGO forum also tends to lead to protests and marches, but not in China.China\u2019s vice-minister of public security, Tian Qiyu, has acknowledged an agreement that the women could demonstrate on the land made available to the UN.But he added that the protests: \u201c.should not infringe upon the sovereignty of the host country and should not attack or slander the state leaders.\u201d So far the UN hasn\u2019t done anything to protest China\u2019s actions.Certain women have not been granted visas to attend the conference, while those that have been allowed into the country have been made far from welcome.Some of the 25,000 delegates to the NGO Forum which officially begins today already have terrible stories of torment to tell.One delegate who left her hotel room for a stroll Tuesday morning was stopped by a policeman and ordered back.Another walked into her room and found two people going through her belongings.The men armed with walkie-talkies claimed to be there to pick up the laundry.The only hope is that \u2014 despite the UN's decision to host the conference in China and the Chinese governments meddlesome attempts to derail the NGO Forum \u2014 the women will be too strong to be silenced.ROBERT MATHESON } 4} P HY, HTVA PT VAR AFAQ A .SL 9!

contribution plans make investing easier When attractive investment opportunities arise, it's not always easy to come up with the cash you need to take advantage of bargains.Your money may be tied up elsewhere, or you simply might not have saved enough to invest on a moment's notice.Like many Canadians, you've probably been down this road when it's time to make an annual contribution to your Registered Retirement Savings Plan.the yearly deadline approaches and you scramble for cash, perhaps even borrowing to make your contribution.Periodic contribution plans are an easy way to eliminate this problem.They allow you to invest automatically, by regularly transferring a fixed amount from your bank account into an investment, such as a mutual fund.Such weekly, monthly, or quarterly contributions make investing easier because it's less painful financially to contribute, say $300 per month for 12 months, than it is to come up with $3,600 at once.Plus, your money goes to work earlier.You might be surprised at how quickly your money grows.If you were to invest that $300 at the end of each month in an RRSP earning an average annual return of 10%, after 25 years you would accumulate $370,277 to put toward your retirement.That's even better than you would do by waiting until the end of each year to invest the full $3,600.By making end- of-year lump sum investments.you would accumulate $354,049 \u2014 or $16,228 less.Of course, the benefits of regular investing grow if you invest larger amounts.By contributing $1,000 a month toward an RRSP earning 10%, you would have $1,234,256 at the end of 25 years.If you wait to contribute $12,000 at the end of each year, you'll have $1,180,165, or $54,091 less.Also, by investing in mutual funds in this manner, you take advantage of dollar-cost averaging.In this way, you will buy more fund units when unit values are lower, and fewer when prices are higher.This usually mean lower average costs, plus it will remove any temptation you might feel to try to \u201ctime the market\u201d and invest at just the right moment.There's another benefit as well \u2014 by contributing throughout the year your money begins earning tax-de- ferred returns earlier, which could result in a large retirement nest-egg.Of course, the same early-investing benefit applies to non-registered investments (although without the tax shelter).Ask your financial advisor about the periodic investment plans available to you.Participating is usually as simple as filling out a form.Mr.Frank Cameron is chartered administrator, and registered financial planner, with Investors Group.Statistics Canada says the number of people receiving regular unemployment insurance benefits rose 0.5 per cent from May to June to 716,000 \u2014

your-own-good, politically earnest, angst-ridden flicks, the festival appears to be lightening up.À year ago, actor-comedian Steve Martin remarked at the festival that comedy doesn\u2019t get fair treatment.The 1995 lineup mends that shortcoming with three fine comedies among the 20 features in the event\u2019s official competition.They include Cold Comfort ; Farm, a witty British made- for-TV movie directed by John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy, Far From the Madding Crowd).It's based on a 1932 satirical novel about the sleazy side of rural life.In it, a debutante (Kate Beckinsale) leaves

earth idealists in the audience).Don\u2019t Die Without Telling Me Where You're Going is a stylish blend of whimsy and seriousness from Argentina's Eliseo Subiela, whose The Dark Side of the Heart won the top prize at the 1992 Montreal festival.Dario Grandinetti, lead actor in Dark Side, is back as Short Cuts Leopoldo, a movie projectionist who is trying to invent a dream machine.He falls in love with Raquel (Mariana Ariaz) who, unfortunately, doesn\u2019t have a body: She's a spirit and only he can see her.This makes for awkward moments when his friends observe him talking to the air.Her love goes back to the 1880s when Leopoldo, in a previous incarnation, worked with Thomas Edison.But director Subiela says reincarnation is only one theme: the film's real subject is \u201clove and life.\u201d Like It Never Was Before is a Swedish black comedy about an executive (Loa Falkman) who takes his wife and kids to a resort and meets a handsome young handyman (Simon Nor- rthon) who's

The Canadian Press One day a week, Hamilton dentist James Morreale stares into mouths so neglected and diseased that his mission to bring better dental care to seniors gets another spurt of adrenalin.\u201cThe elderly don\u2019t realize until you repair a diseased gum, tooth or denture how much of a problem they really have,\u201d says the 58-year-old dentist, who's been practising for 34 years.\u201cIt\u2019s amazing what people live with.\u201d Morreale says some seniors he\u2019s treated are wearing the same dentures that they were fitted for years ago.\u201cYou wouldn't wear a pair of shoes for 20 years, but they wear their dentures for that long,\u201d he says.Born into an Italian family whose roots go back to his grandfather's arrival in Canada in 1895, Morreale \u201chas an affinity\u201d for older people because he grew up with grandpa- \u2018rents living under the same roof.So when he discovered there were elderly Italians living in the community without access to dental care because of their isolation, he started making Living with teeth By The Canadian Press Improved methods of preventive dental care are helping many seniors retain their natural teeth throughout life including: Visiting your dentist twice a year if tartar forms on your teeth.Increasing vitamin C for healthy tissues \u2014 especially if there is bleeding in the gums.Purchasing a toothbrush with soft, flat, multi-row bristles and replacing it every three months.Brushing your teeth with short circular strokes, hitting both sides of the teeth rather than up and down.Residences &

patients who was in Hamilton\u2019s St.Peter's Hospital \u2014 a chronic-care facility specializing in geriatrics \u2014 Morreale discovered their dental room had been replaced with a footcare clinic.\u201cI met with the hospital's director and gave him a plan about how to set up a dental- care program,\u201d he says.\u201cNow every Wednesday I take my mobile clinic in three suitcases there to treat patients in the dental clinic.\u201d While setting up the clinic, Morreale wanted to learn more about geriatric dentistry and seniors themselves.\u201cI enrolled in a gerontology course at McMaster University (in Hamilton) and took weekend courses in geriatric dentistry at McGill in Montreal,\u201d he explains.\u201cThe care of the elderly is complicated by the medicines they take, its complicated by dementia and by diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s,\u201d he says, adding that patients with the brain-destroying disorder must be given sedatives to keep them still while dental work is going on.Morreale says that several acute-care hospitals in Canada \u2014 including Ottawa Civic and Sunnybrook Medical Centre in Toronto \u2014 offer dental facilities for the elderly.As well, some chronic-care facilities like St.Joseph's Villa in Dundas, Ont., have onsite treatment for their elderly patients.\u201cDental care on a long-term basis is not provided everywhere,\u201d he says.\u201cAnd seniors have no dental insurance coverage.Even a senior who was on welfare benefits and getting coverage loses it when they reach 65 and become eligible for old- age security.\u201d Morreale says his plan \u2014 which is a minimal fee-for- service \u2014 calls for dentists to spend a half-day a week or once a month or \u201cwhatever\u201d taking mobile clinics into nursing homes, chronic-care hospitals or in cases of shut-ins, their homes or apartments to treat seniors on fixed or low incomes.To get it started, he has enlisted the assistance of the members of the Hamilton Academy of Dentistry to help him raise $40,000 to equip and furnish St.Peter's Hospital dental clinic.This will serve hospital patients for the time being, but will be opened later to needy seniors in the community.- Private and semi-private rooms for mobile senior citizens.Well staffed inedical infirmary for those requiring nursing care.- Private apartments with kitchen units for self-care

Such is the climate of early spring; It\u2019s not a day upon which to sing.But, after all, we mustn't forget: For flowers to come, the ground must be wet.By Kenneth A.Elliott Ile Paton, Québec April 6, 1986 ADVERTISER'S NAME STREET ADDRESS PROVINCE POSTAL CODE TELEPHONE ( ) PLEASE CHECK FORM OF PAYMENT: CHEQUED MONEYORDERO) CREDIT CARDO CREDIT CARD PAYMENT: \u2018MASTERCARDO VISAC 3 insertions 40% off.PR EE EL ET UE, RR MAIL THIS COUPON TO: The Record P.O.Box 1200, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1H 5L6 CARD NO.EXPIRATION DATE SIGNATURE COST OF ADVERTISEMENT: (din.36.50) 5026 x-\u2014\u2014 words x \u2014\u2014 days = $\u2014\u2014' (mutighy) x .07 GST SWTOTAL (mullipiy) x 088 PSY \u2014 TOTAL \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CD esae Be ate.gg ep _p\u2014\u2014 pwr Golden Age Club News MANSONVILLE \u2014 Golden Agers met at noon as usual at the town hall on August 15.Verlie Aiken had prepared their dinner consisting of baked beans, coleslaw, hot dogs fumished by the club.George Hamelin made a johnny cake.Evelyn Dubuc gave a bucket of spread.Grace Dorfman brought a zucchini bread.Bessie Brown had made a banana bread.Rita Mossa and Verlie had each made a cake.the topping was whipped cream donated by Huguette levoy.Walter and Bertha Smithers had supplied fresh from their garden cucumbers and Alfred Vintinner furnished the afternoon punch.Prizes were given by the club, Huguette Levoy, Verlie Aiken, Mildred Atyeo, Evelyn Dubuc, Grace Dorfman and Betsy Beaulieu.Bessie Brown was the winner of the half & half.Door prizes: Huguette Levoy.Louise Oliver, R.A.Pouliot, Walter and Bertha Smithers, Mildred Atyco, Alfred Vintinner, Ver- The RECORD-\u2014Thursday, August 31, 1995\u201417 lie Aiken, Lina Tomuschat, Rita Mossa, Evelyn Dubuc, Cecile and George Hamelin, Grace Dorfman and Bessie Brown.Game prizes: Walter Smithers, Verlie Aiken, Alfred Vintinner, Irene Carrier, Mildred Atyeo, Myrtle Bullock, Ida MacKay, Cecile Hamelin, Rose Alma Pouliot and Betsy Beaulieu.Get-well wishes go out to Pearl Greenham, Elaine Jewett and Jeanne d\u2019Arc Carrier.x x + MANSONVILLE \u2014 Club members met at the town hall on Tuesday, August 22nd for lunch which consisted of ham and egg sandwiches, a jellied cucumber salad.sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.tea, coffee.cookies and sweet breads.Verlie Aiken made the jellied salad.cakes were from Walter Smithers, Verlie and Huguette l.evoy donated the tomatoes.Huguette also gave a gallon of her homemade bread and butter pickles - \u201cmmm good\u201d.Alfred Vintinner THIER TAINS RRA TIFR UK ¢ per x From the Pens Ë; 21 A.> of E.T.Writers ç fo ie MARK THE SEASONS X « Ps < 5 As we watch the days grow shorter oO MW And Mother Nature change her ways \u2014 3 We sce that Summer\u2019 s slippirg by: % +4 There's a tell-tale \u2018fall-like\u2019 haze.Pig « We've grumbled and complained so much \u2014 2 À Found the weather humid \u2014 hot! 2) YA For lack of rain the grass is brown \u2014 hy uy Or else too much rain\u2019s our lot!
