Mrs. Catherine Hamilton a" Taking TimeTo_ _. Share And Care It would appear that the Russell Horticultural Society, has had a program for numerous years which fits in with the caption, "Taking Time to Share and Care". Each year seems to add onto the next, and now the youth of our village are getting the message, '"'Let's Care and keep Russell beautiful'. 'Get- ting", Isaid, yes we all know that we all have our continual part to play in Beauty of life, and that beauty is captured in the mind, and finds expression in every aspect of our lives. One aspect of the evidence was when the Rev. Mr. Tees, of Vankleek Hill, and his accompaning judges, named Miss Lorraine Thibault, as Russell Queen, and _ Cindy Hayward, as the Princess, being the runner up in the contest which had other contestants in Miss Maureen Graham, and Miss Nancy Mulders. The event which finalized the contestants steps in the competition was held at the Russell United Church hall on Friday evening, June 11th. Mrs. Cuthbert (Bertha) Smith, the President of the Russell Horticultural Society, welcomed the many guests, and local residents to the program which started with a 6 p.m. dinner. Mr. Max Keeping of C.J.0.H. was the master of ceremonies, and was a greatly appreciated contributor to the success of the evening. Mr. Gordon Thom, of Morrisburg, the District Director of District One, of the Ontario Horticultural Association, made fitting re- marks about the work of the Horticulturalists, and expressed the delight of himself and Mrs. Thom, in their associations with the Russell group, on_ this occasion, and in past years. Mr. Jean-Guy Bourdeau, Town- ship secretary-treasurer, brought greeting from the Township, on behalf of Council and the Reeve Mr. Gaston Patenaude. Mr. Reajean Paquet- te, was the presenter of the Trophy of the evening received by The Russell Queen, and the Queen of the previous year, Miss Kim Eadie, assisted in the crowning ceremony. Others participating in the special event included Mrs. Alex Baillon, whose own most gracious manner was a real inspiration to the Queen contest. Mrs. Smith, the President was given generous support in the total event by the members of her executive, and members. Mrs. Ernest Burton, provided much support including many floral arrangements which adorned the tables, and upper hall where the program was presented. A highland music piper of the evening was Mr. Bill Campbell, of Russell, and our Bill gave a most acceptable performance. Miss Cathy MacGregor, of Russell, gave tap dance perform- ances. Soloist of the evening Mrs. Dwayne (Bonnie) Johnston, delighted her audience with her vocal performances, and was accompanied at the piano by her mother Mrs. Jack (Leila) Twin- ame. Mrs. Twiname also accom- panied the Young Ladies' Chorus, Mrs. Johnston, Mrs. Barry (Heather) Carscadden, Beverley Cherry, Nancy Carscadden, Brenda Latimer, Janet Graham, Diane Wouters and _ Linda Weatherall. The male chorus, as_ usual made the hall resound with the strength of their voices as directed and accompanied by Mrs. Twiname. Those who sang in the male group were, Keith Boyd, Lorne Wade, Donald Graham, Fred _ Carscadden, Meredith Rombough, George Hay, Dwayne Johnston, Maynard Cherry and Chester Cherry. The storm which hit our village a few hours previous to the Horticultural night, did not dampen the spirits, nor diminish the attendance, it was almost standing room only for both the dinner and the concert. So it was another event which reminded us that Beauty reaches out as far as the individual is willing to let his or her sharing and caring project Message from J. A. Belanger M.P.P.
