Xendal News After enjoying a wonderful winter when the buses travelled travelled every day over open roads it was indeed a surprise for all traffic on the main highways to come to a complete halt from a winter storm on April the third and fourth. Mr. Sterling Swerdfiger was travelling travelling west on the sixth line just east of the former sixth line school at 7:30 p.m. when his truck ended up in the ditch due to the stormy weather. He stayed in it all night waiting for the snow plough which was unable to get through. In the morning he walked home. At 3 p.m. April 4 the snow plow came. Needléss to say the school buses did not travel. UNITED CHURCH Orono Pastoral Charge Minister Rev. B. E. Long B.Th.
