Kendal news Pernaps the "Marcn îion' skated out on Saturday. The men working on the night shif t in motors or the steel plant were unable to get home before nulle in the morning, as the sanders found il very difficuit to sand the slippery his. Perhaps somne of the 'lder folks will remnember the torrential rains on the firsf of April 1929. This wrifer went with six hund- red teachers of York Coun- ty by excursion train, to Philadelphia, New York, Atlantic city, and Washing- ton. The weather was perfect, ail the Japanese cherry trees were in ful bloom in Washington. Spring had arrived. When we returned to the Toronto Union Station arrayed in our new Easter bonnets the ramn came down in torrents, as we alite from the last coach of a long train. Our hats .were ruined. Our drivers told us that every bridge leading into Wood- bridge had been washed away but one. By a long detour we entered Wood- bridge, by that one remain- ing bridge. One of the Bowmanville bridges was, washed away and a boy lost his life. Port Hope main street was flooded. Canned goods in the basements lost their lubIes and w-ýere sold Sby auction later. One neyer knew whether they wouljd have pumpkin for dinner or pork and beans tillibtey opened the can. It was a surprise. On Sunday morning the choir sang. "Will your anchor hold?"' and Mr. Marvin Colvin of Orono gave -us a very helpful message. Next sunday is "Palmi Sunday"' and the speaker will be Mr. Ralph Hilîs of Kingston. The painters and decor- ators are very busy pre- paring the parsonage for the new minister Rev. and Mrs. G. Montgomery. Somne of the Kendal ladies went out on Thursday to do a bit of cleaning in the parson- age. The Kendal Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs. WM. Turansky on Wednesday afternoon Mar- ch 27th with ten ladies present. The meeting opened with the Ode and the -Mary Stewart collect. The minutes were read and approved. Moved by Mrs>. J. Stapleton sec. by Mis C. Stewart that we give ten dollars worth of canned good to the Adam 's family who lost their home by fire. Fîve dollars was alIso given to the Red Cross. The quilt must be bound for the Penny Sale on April 27. Some of the ladies volunt- eered to do this. There will 'be a gift shop in the Museumr in Orono this year. A sales lady is needed to seil the gifts. The Clarke Museum opens, May l8th. Mrs. Turansky gave as her roll cail: Making a mountain out of a mole hill. Each lady was asked to tell about a mountain that had ended up being a mole hili. She gave as an example her first aero- plane ride hom.-e to Eng- land. She had feared it s0 much and then she found it becamne such a delightful way to travel. Somne moth- er s said they worried so when their teenagers were late getting home then they f ound some simple thing -had made, thel late. Mrs. Turansky then read an article entitled, "It pays to increase your worry power".

The Orono Hockey Mothers started a program this year of supplying Hockey coats. Many pýople took this opport- unity and a substancial num- ber of coats were ordered. From the small profit, each player buying a coat, received the Orono Crest on the coat free. The Hockey Mothers are also donating 2 dollars for each player toward a banquet crest or other worthwhjle use at the coach's discression. After the completion of the hockey draw a further donat- ion will be made to the Orono Athletic Association.
