The trip was spon- sored by the Senior Citizen's Club, and arranged by Mr. Woolley, Mr. Bradley, Miss L. Smith and Mrs. G. Rahme. The first stop was at the famous Kitchener Farmers Market where there was time for exploring and buying. Later, Victoria Park was an ideal spot for a picnic lunch. In the early afternoon after a short drive, the buses entered the grounds of Wood- side Historic National Park where a guided tour of the residence had been arranged. There William Lyan Macken- zie Kings' parents had lived. Mackenzie King had resided here in his youth. The 10-room house is now filled with the furniture and decorations, of the Victorian period. A drive followed to Elmira and St. Jacobs and through the fertile rolling farmland of the Mennonites with their well- kept barns and houses and attractively white-washed fences, it is quite usual to see horses and buggies driven by Mennonite farmers in their traditional dress.- On the way back to Kitchen- er, the well-informed bus driver pointed out such histor- ic places as the homestead of John Diefenbaker's grandpar- ents and the Pioneer Tower, which was erected to com- memorate the arrivai in Waterloo County from Pen- nsylvania of the first Mennon- ite settiers in 1800. A welcome stop for dinner on the outskirts of the cîty, and an early evening drive home brought a very pleasant day to a close. The Bowmanville Senior Citizens' Club enjoyed a pot luck supper at its June meeting with a large attend- ance present.
