Everything is new in the springtime. Isn't it wonderful to discard heavy winter clothes and sally forth in light spring attire! It makes one feel as if we had been made over! Born again! April also brings along the Robins - great, plump, saucy robins, strutting their stuff about the lawn so importantly! And also! it is a rebirth for the grow- things of nature, and of the spirits of many of us. Easter Meeting Held by UCW The afternoon unit of Nestleton UCW was hosted by leader Mabel ~ Cawker on Tuesday, March 21, at the Scugog Point Rd. farm, with 10 ladies present.
