The Way We Were:

Bethel Pentecostal Tabernacle officially opened this Sunday: The Pentecostal people of Shawville will reach a great hour on Sunday, May 27, at 3.00 p.m., when the new Bethel Pentecostal Tabernacle is officially dedicated when Rev. C. B. Smith, General Superintendent of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, will be guest speaker. 

In less than a year this building has been completed with a seating capacity with new pews of 140 and with additional chairs that can comfortably seat 200 in the main auditorium. The basement, when entirely finished, will have a main Sunday School auditorium and four class rooms. There also is a nice compact, modern five-room parsonage at the back.

A little of this and that: Accident of the week. . . It happened to Mrs. Pellie Tourangeau, at Stark’s Corners, now in the Pontiac Community Hospital because her husband almost ran over her in their car. It happened this way: She and her husband had been shopping at Elliott’s Store and were just pulling away when the car door came and Mrs. Tourangeau fell to the hard gravel road. The front wheel was just touching her when Mr. Tourangeau stopped the car. Mrs. Tourangeau has a broken rib and left arm.

Speaking of fishing . . . A local nimrod, who shall be nameless, had a trout strike his line so fiercely last weekend he was pulled into the water right up to his chest. After considerable struggling and with much difficult he regained land, with the pole still in his hand. With a great effort he whipped the line out of the water and found he had hooked a five-inch trout.

Some people are lucky . . . Joe Smiley, Campbell’s Bay, lost his wallet containing a sum of money and valuable papers while plowing last fall. Harrowing the same field last week he turned up the wallet, contents intact and undamaged by their winter siege.

 A lot of bull . . . Is Laigh Tarbeg Raider a yearling bull purchased by S. Wyman MacKechnie during his recent trip to Scotland. The young Ayrshire bull, according to a recent issue of the Scottish Farmer won top honors in his class at the Ayr show, described by the Farmer as the greatest show of Ayrshires ever to be held on their native heath. The bull and several females, personally selected by Mr. MacKechnie during his trip, are now on board ship bound for their new home.
