MESSENGERS" PICNIC LOTS OF FUN The Messengers, the youngest group in the United Church, were delighted with the wind-up party planned by their leaders this year. They were taken on a hike to a play spot beside the creek running out of Cooks Lake. The road, never straightened to oblige cars, is a series of sharp curves around which, to any child, lies adventure. The young- sters' pleasure was typified in the remark of a small lad who after the affair said "Well! Here we are, back from OUR incredible journey." Among the awards presented were--for perfect attendance--to Wendy and Debby Jones, Maureen Hencher, Bryer McKenzie, Debby Smith and Kathy Burns and others--for memory work-~ were given to Jane Davis, Debby McCanna, Bryer McKenzie, Maureen Hencher, Lynn Drake ..
