Mr. Mc Neil, Horticulturist for the April Blizzard By Connie Haigh R.R.3, Port Perry The weatherman forecast a storm - A strong north wind and snow; But in 'April, who expects That it would snow and blow? From Oshawa we started out To our home on Scugog Island, Enjoying the sight of the drifting snow As we wended our way to high land. We managed as far as the Concession road When the car stuck fast in a drift. The wind persisted and snowflakes drifted, And, of course, no chance of a lift. So we headed back on foot through the snow, Traversing the mountain of white, And found a haven in a farm- house kitchen - Some food and a bed for the night. Such hospitality from strangers Was something to warm the heart. The time passed so fast and pleasantly, And soon it was time to depart. : Came the arrival of the rescue squad - The local policeman and his snowmobile; A method of travel I former- ly cursed, But a storm renders useless the wheel. The weather may be dastardly foul, You may be stranded with no place to go. But when neighbours are thoughtful and helpful and kind - Who cares for a blizzard? Ministry of Agriculture in Halton, gave a very inform- ative talk on landscape gar- dening. Several resolutions were sustained by the F.W.LO. Concerns felt that computer cash registers will nake if difficult to tell the actual price one is paying for a product and ask that this system be abolished and that all merchandise sold under this system must have prices Irene Margaret Whitfield A well-know and respected citizen of the area, Irene Margaret Whitfield, passed away suddenly at her home, R.R. 1, Port Perry, Friday, April 4th, 1975, where she had resided 28 years.
