Several from Shaw's took advantage of the grand weather and travelled to the Ploughing Match at Walker- ton last week.

The newly renovated school room with its highly polished floor, sparkling new wash- room, and shiny clean wails, was bright and appealing with all sorts of Nursery pictures. The whole place was alive and cheery with the voices of the little children. Mrs. Tordiff reports that there are still a few openings for three and four year olds for either the three, four or five day program. She is hoping to take her small friends out to explore the surrounding fields and farms so we'll be expect- ing little visitors in the near future.

Lewis and Margaret Wood have just returned from a pleasant five day bus trip to admire the beauty of the Autumn scenery on Mackinac Island, Mich., and then across to the Agawa Canyon and Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario. Mackinac Island is notable as an American Revolution- ary War Site and several buildings and commemora- tive monuments recall the vital role that the island played in the history of the fur trade and missionary work of that area. These interesting places with the very unusual natural land features in Mack- inac National Park as well as the ordinance forbidding the use of motorized vehicles on the island, help to preserve the islands distinctive chai-m. Lewis and Margaret along with the rest of their party of 47 travellers visited the Grand Hotel, built in 1887, on Mackinac Island. Lt was so fascinating to see this, the world's largest Summer hotel with its horse-drawn taxicabs drawing up to the magnificent white pillared porch to take on and let off the passengers. Crossing at Sault Ste. Marie the group boarded the Algoma Central Railway train as it traverses some of the most picturesque 'country in ail of Canada. Ln fact this railroad line north from Sault Ste. Marie has proven to be the most scenic area east of the Canadian Rockies. Lewis and Margaret were not disappointed, for they and their old friends from Oshawa and surrounding area, thor- oughly enjoyed that one day train ride through the vast expanse of forest, mountains, clear lakes, gorges and river valleys. The splendid tour guide was Mrs. Lee Wesley of the Four Seasons Travel Centre and she and Mr. and Mrs. Wood recommend this short and interesting, trip for anyone who only has a few days to get away from it all.
