The y walked across thp bridge at El Paso Texas to Juarez, Mexico. A hi-light was a drive along by the, Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Congratulations too, are in order for the Jacksons, who celebrated their 36th Wedding Anniversary soon after their return from their trip. Plans are well underway for the annual May 24th Holiday weekend doings sponsored by the Bethany Athletic Society, whose president is Robt. Kerr. They are hoping for a real gala parade on Victoria Day, Monday the 2lst. Why not put on your thinking caps and enter a float or decorate your car or yourself! ! The more the merrier, might even get into the act myself with dog 9"Jim"! The Bethany Athletic Society was formed in 1908, and they have continued on through the years to provide leadership in the sports field, It is interesting to note that the first "Field Day" held in 1908 the admission was 15c and 10c. Meals were served on the Park by the ladies of the Preshyterian Church, which at that time had a large congregation. Two tents were erected on the grounds to accommodate the. people. And in the minutes of the first meeting a committee was formed to make arrange- ments to accommodate horses! How times change - but the spirit of community co-operation has lasted down through the years making this annual event a success. (Excerpts of the past taken from the Bethany Women 's Institute Tweedsmuir Village and Community History Book.) It seems that May is going to be a busy month, what with the holiday weekend and the Bethany "Doings" at that tixne, then the election, and the next weekend the Victoria Spring Festival of the Arts and Sale, May 26 and 27th. On the Friday evening the 25th, the Manvers Lyric Society presents "Spring Melodies" with guest entertainer Billy Meek. Be sure to neserve this weekend and plan to attend these festivities held in the Manvers Township Arena and Community Centre. The cottage formerly owned by the late Lila Davis on South Street is beginning- to get- "a new look" at least inside. It is now owned by Ken Crawford of Blackstock. Old plaster is being, tomn off, new walls put up. New kitchen cabinets will be installed and drinking water piped in. The days of the old pump outside are number- NýOTIICE We' re to a New at 49 King Street West ed. Meanwhile, next door, where your correspondent hangs her hat (since last faîl -we are now city slickers) we plan on some improve- ments and tidying up. This property was formerly owned by the late Lila Davis too. Recently we planted a mountain ash tree - and I am reminded of the "saying: "A man-has a true conception, of life when he plants a tree under which he may neyer sit." But, boy, 1 sure am hoping to sit unden this tone! It's fun s.eeing little green things ppig up here and there, an=yu wonder what they'll turn out to be. (Not weeds, hopefully). 1Saw two lovely geese flying overhead a few days ago, quite low too and thought you would like to read this composition on geese by a school boy: "Geese is a low bird", - Geese is a low heavy set bird which is mostly meat and feathers. His head sits on one side and he sits on the other. Geese can't sing much on account of dampness of the moisture. He ain't got no between-the-toes and he's got a little balloon in his stummick to keep from sink- ing. Some geese when they get big has curîs on their tails and is called ganders. Ganders don't haîf to sit and hatch but just eat and loaf and go swimming. If I was a geese I would rather be a gander. (This was givem, to me for my scrapbook by the late Winifred Spencer, whom many of you knew so well and loved for her sense of humour>.
