The " bus tour began at the Kendal church which was built in 1970 by two carpenters working together on the two churches This one still serves the village but the Presbyterian Church which was on main street has been torn down. The carpenters carpenters were Mr. John Cooper and Mr. Wm. Jackson. The Sunday Sunday school room was a church hat stood two miles north of Kendal beside the Elliott cemetery. In 1896 it was brought to Kendal as the families left the Pine ridge. At the west end of Main Street was the Comstock saw mill. A picture of this was shown. The house* build by Mr. Comstock, the mill owner, owner, was admired. It is now owned bÿ Mrs. T. Garbutt. The old hotel named the Kendal House was obscured. Two lots west of Kendal store was the birthplace of Sir Thomas Stanton, a world renounced Doctor who proved that Malaria is caused by the bite of a mosquito. He found a cure for many tropical diseases diseases and was knighted by King George the fifth in 1935. We stopped for a moment at Kendal school.

Past the home of Mr. Doug Moffatt, MPP and the Elliott cemetery and McLean's school. school. A famous pupil of this school was Dr. Willie Smith for forty years a missionary doctor in China. Then we passed the home of Senator Andrew Thompson and "The Dell" that beautiful little camping ground with its pure spring water. Then we travelled through "The Great Pine Ridge." This extends from Orangeville north of the Lake right to Sterling north pf , Belleville. The pioneers cut the pines and built their homes. Some of the great pines were drawn by twelve teams to Port Granby, floated overseas in log booms, to become the masts of the British Navy. All the Pine Ridge was then farmed. It gave good crops until the light land began to blow. In 1975 a forest fire burned off the rest of the timber, great black stumps were left standing. Then on June 10, 1886 on election day an extremely heavy rain fell. It gullied out great wash outs. Mr. Sam Patton was coming coming home from voting. His team sank down into this sand and water of.a new gulley. He managed to keep their heads above water. His wife had been wanting him to move out, after that experience he consented. The prairies were opening up so families moved west. The sand blew over apple trees until only the very tops were showing. There were gullies in which you could bury a barn. About the year 1910 from then on some farmers began planting pine trees. This area is now the Ganaraska Area.
