.THTrMSDAY, MAT ISth, 19M Ir U k lTH A!AIA TTETT%#WMNIIE OTM Last Social of -Season In Aid Burketon Hall The final social evening in &id of the United Church Hall at Burketon took place on Thursday evening, May 9, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Bone. A very good crowd was in attendance and the evening was a great success, socially and financially. This marks the end of.such functions until the Autumn, when they will re- commence sometime in Octo- ber or November. Prize winners were; high ladies in euchre, Mrs. K. Rob- lin; high gents, Mr. Walter Oke, who tied with Roy Ash- ton and had to eut for the prize; low ladies, Mrs. Wl. Oke and low gents, Mr. Leslie Taylor. Prize winners in otheri games, were Mrs. E. M. Adams and Mrs. L. Taylor. A very sumptuons lunch was provided and served by the ladies. There were several chil- dren present and Mr. and Mrs. Bane extended an invitation to all parents who wish ta attend future events, to come and bring their children. Entertain- ment will be provided for them. A silver collection was taken up in place o! regniar admission charge. Kedron Ladies Tell of Vacation in Bermuda *Kedron: Mrs. Harvey Pascoe and Mrs. Harold Werry have spent the past week in Ber- muda. Perhaps Kedron read- ers will pardon a diversion this week until other home news catches up with us once again, and a brie! resumne of our trip replaces the usual local notes. After the take-off from Mal- ton in a super Constellation plane, in clear sunny weather, we looked down aven Lake OJntario, Niagara Falls and fin- ally had a splendid aerial view of New York City, before head- ing out over the blue Atlantic. Four Hours Not long after the hot roast chicken dinner served op the plane was consumed, the plot bcgan a gradual descent until wc were circling an nnbelieve- ably small but beautiful coral jsland set in the waters below. Colouring and shadows from the outer reefs were fascinat- See ing, and in approximately four hours we had covered the thousand miles plus, and were at a stop at the air base on St. David's Isle. The dusky driver of aur little English cab (of course the only cars on the island are the litle British cars, with a limit of one to a family) soan deposited us with our 40 odd pounds of pernmitted luggage at aur destin&tion in the Han- ilton area. Others There Another couple from Osh- awa, several Toronto folk and Canadians from Calgary, Van- couver, Montreal and Essex County soon made us feel quite at home.

A few plots of waxen white liles were stili lovely but we were informed that the height of the lily season wasi just past. Perhaps one of the most beautiful things were the hibiscus hedges with their varions colourings, and the sweet-smelling single and dou- ble oleanders. .Many Flowerfl We were told that May and June sees Bermuda at its best before the humldity of later summer, and the hurricane season in the fail. Our sumn- mer stand-bys in flowers, glad- joli, dahlias, stocks and ail ouri colourful annuals, wvere at their peak, and made a plea J sant contrast with the pastel shades of the homes topped with their so-white roofs, whhh catch the preclous fresh water. Morning glories grow wild over waste areas. The good beaches iocated largely on the south shore and edging the openi ocean are now popular for bathing, and on two occasions we found the Atlantic water warm, but oh se salty. The fine swimmingl pools do nlot leave one sticky with sait, but one misses the breaking waves. Visit Reefs Boat cruises included a trip to Somerset at the far end of the island, with a barbecued dinner served at an island en- route, and aso a trp five mils ont into the ocean te the outer coral reefs which were viewcd from glass-bottomed boats. Ti-e intricate formations of coral, sponges, sea-urchins, lacy fans, anemones with many species of colourful f ish, form a gnip- ping undersea panorama as the boats pass slowly over the reefs. Crystal cave, the government aquarium, the perfumne factory, and the ornamental gardens at the governiment experimental' farm were other highlighits. One drive took us past Cedar Lodge the wlnter residence of Col. R. S. McLaughlin, a beauty spot in the Paget area. Sample Bananas It was possible to telephone home in a few minutes fromn the initial request for $7.50, al the miles across the water. Bananas, which grew out- side our home on the Island, were enjoyed, thoudh of a different flavour anâ amaller than our usual type. We developed a real adue- tion for walking, and thoroughi- ]y enjoyed many walks, which aise saved on seemingly contin- nous taxi fare. Apparently social directors in Bermuda think rum swizzles are essential in ail programs, and on one occasion when our "Swizzle" was being, as we thought, unobtrusively poured over the side of the boat, we were requested not to let it go overboard, as it poisoned the fish. Attend Church A high Anglican, service was attended in the Cathedral one Sunday evening. The following Sunday we attended a Mother's Day service in a huge Meth- odist Chnrch, fllled to capacity, and attended by a very mixed congregation, before leaving for the airport to return on a North Star plane. This one left the Island at 4:30 p.m. and took six hours for the flight, flying at 16,000 feet. We experienced a de- finite thniil when the lights of North America showed that we were again over our own con- tinent. This time a steak din- ner filled in much of the re- maining time to Malton where two husbands looked especially good to us, after an interesting- holiday abroad. 1 OSHAWA WOOD PRODUCTS LTD, Says: Canada Creosoting Co.
