It bridged a gap of nearly 10 years since the daughter and her fa- mily left this country.

The idea of a birthday "surprise" call to Mr. Alf Apperley, of 20 Leslie Road, Edgbaston, and his wife, came from their daughter, Mrs. Hilda Bux- cey, of Port Perry, Ontario. Nearly 10 years have passed since Mr. and Mrs. Apperley have seen their Grain Club Entertained At Lions Dinner The boys of the Lions Grain Club | Frank Honey.
