Barbecue was delicious success Greenbank News by Margaret Couperthwaite Thanks to all who helped in any way to make the beef barbeque such a success over when over a thousand people attended. Everyone enjoyed an inspiring Church Ser- vice Sunday morning which included an enjoyable old-fashion sing song led by Roberta Baird and Betty Stone.

She told us that her father had helped build our church. : Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Dale Hunter on the birth of their daughter.

World-weary travellers Greenbank News by Helen McKean The travellers, Muriel Gibson and Helen Mc- Kean have returned from a fabulous holiday. Flying to London and on a twelve day bus tour through England, Ire- land, Scotland and Wales. Five days were spent seeing the sights of London itself. Seeing the charming Queen Mother arriving at Westminister Abbey was the most exciting Always popular with those attending the Greenbank barbecue event of the whole trip. She was there to comm- emorate the death of Madam Curie. A guard of honer of Nurses greeted her. Nursing being the Queen's pet interest. Only five feet away from us she stopp- ed and smiled so we could get her picture. We then went on an eleven day tour to Europe - by overnight boat across the North is the table loaded with a large variety of home-made ples. Sea to Holland. The strange money was an even bigger problem than the language in Holland, Germany, Austria, Leitchenstien, Switzerland and France. The ride back across the English Channel from Calais to Dover was a scary experience on a Hover- craft. The scenery in every country was breath-taking. The view of the snow-capped Alps was the grandest. Munich was depressing. To walk where Adolph Hitler caused such havoc made us sad. The drive along the River Somme in France and across the peaceful farm country, once No Man's Land was not a happy one. Helen's Uncle Edward Barron was killed there in 1916. Other exciting places were in Wales where I talked by phone to Bert Bishop's son, Scott, also I spoke to a lady I had not seen in 57 years. We drove around the Ring of Kerry in Ireland where Helen' Grand- mother, Annie Doonan immigrated from in 1853 because of the Potato famine. We passed by Dumfries where Don's father was born, also through Manchester where my mother, Flor- ence Barry was born. We visited Kensington Palace where Prince Charles and his family live. At Buckingham Palace we even signed the Queen's guests book. We attended a play at the famous Paladium Theatre, watching Tommy Steele starring in 'Singing In The Rain'. So often we had to pinch ourselves to realize we were in such famous places where history was written about. The homes of such people as Sir Walter Scott, Browning, Shakespeare, Robin Hood, Henry VIII. We stood in the square in Paris where over one hundred people a day were put to death on the Guillotine. Dakow we would not visit. But on a boat ride down the Rhine we viewed the famous vineyards grow- ing up the steep sides of the mountains. The British Bus tour was the best, of course, there we understood the language. The weather was perfect. Thousands of people from Canada and the United States were taking the same tours. Our first morning at breakfast in London 14 persons were from Canada, including one family from our own Port Perry and Sunder- land. It is a small world after all with the excell- ent travel service we have namely Nonquon Travel office. Pat arranged this trip of a lifetime for us. Every step of our trip was perfectly planned and enjoyed. Only our beaut- iful pictures that we took will show our families and friends how much they missed by staying at home. How much more we appreciate our families and homes in Green- bank, Canada.
