ELGIN U.C.W. The June meeting for the Elgin U.C.W. met on June 10th in the church's Centennial Hall. The president Nina Churchill began the meeting with thoughts and selections about the many happy graduating students and sent congratulations to them. She then expressed concern for others as she read the poem, "The Boy Who Didn't Pass", and the feelings of those students of disappointment and sadness. To these students we must be compassâ€" ionate and understanding. The worship by Reta Freeman's group followed the Opening with the theme "Vacations â€" from God or for God" and started the worship with "For everyâ€" thing there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven."

If you haven't been there recently things are really happening. Small red earthmovers and bulldozers are chugging up and down the road. Men are removing sod and making pathways. Occasionally you can catch sight of a young man, in old fashioned clothes carrying a suspiciOus looking red jug, walking along the road. If you ask him who he is he replies, "Kevin Fox the Blacksmith". He'll tell you to come on over to his shop on the far side of the upper lock. As you continue along the road you see the old lock- master's house, you know the one the Slys used to live in, but now it looks new! Aurel Hart, the Parks Canada site interpreter, stands outside thinking of how she is going to arrange the furniture when the painter is finally finished. Hopefully she will be working in the house by June 28th. The house has been restored to 1843 when lockmaster Sweeney lived there. Road repairs, new washrooms, new parking lot, landScaping, nature trail, blacksmith shop, restored lockmasters house, are just some of the changes you will see over the next few months. By the end of next summer things will have changed at Jones Falls.

The Blacksmith's Shop will be open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except Tuesday and Wednesday (we have to give Kevin a day off once in a while).
