Fifty ladies sat down to a turkey dinner prepared by' the Naomi group of the WA. Mrs. Thomas Haggitt was mistress of ceremonies and pro- posed the toast to the Queen. Mrs. Ed.

The lucky dinner tic- kets were held by Mrs. Maud Fremlin, Mrs. Andrew Kirk- connell and Mrs. Ben Hamilton. This was in charge of Mrs. Wil- liam Dodd. Mrs. Frank Raithby I was up with the birds on a recent post-Easter morning intent on a rather precarious mission, I wanted to try to re- capture an experience. Sensible people realize this cannot be done and, in a way, I found that to be true. I was not disappointed, however, far if I found I could not relive the past, at least I discovered an assurance that was completely satisfying. I followed the pattern of our picnic loving family of some years ago, picking watercress from the brook that runs thin- ly over a bed of pebbles at the foot of our acreage,„ This, I added to the golden fluff of a chopped up hard cooked egg 'gathered only yesteeday' from the orange crate nest of my neighbour's hen house. In- to this I crumbled bits of bac- on purchased from one of the few remaining independent but- chers in our area. it is home cured with sugar by a secret family process and as it fried and curled, sputtered and cr- isped over a low flame, mouth- watering fumes permeated ev- ery corner of the house. Into a large tartan tote bag I tucked the egg, bacon and watercress sandwich, a two- cup thermos of hot tea brewed from Queen Mary's own blend and a piece . of orange crumble cake made from my grand- mother's recipe. The train I boarded does: not stop often these days at my destination. At one time the little wooden station's plat- form was crowded with the youth of the nearby village each day as the train pulled hi for it was then the social centre of the town where h.-- lend greeted friend and spec-- ulated on the contents of fr- eight and mail being tossed from the train 'to a smiling station agent. On this particular day a jovial conductor .assured me he had arranged with the engin- eer to stop the train, even though it usually hurried by on its way 'to much larger com- munities. He waved a cheery thanked the church groUp for their dinner and Mrs, Thomas. Lawlor replied, The committee iat charge of planning for this annual event was Mrs. Bert Craig, Mrs. Ed. Davies and, Mrs, William Dodd. This committee arranged to have a photographer present and took a picture of the group. goedby as the train got under way again, leaving me a lone figure standing on the deserted platform. The tracks wind along thr- ough a thickly wooded bush. .An April wind, sighing softly, pick- ed up the harp strings of near- by telegraph wires playing a melody Thoreau once described long ago as "the poetry of the railroad." I walked the ties along the road bed, around a bend out of sight of the station until I came to a rusty old gate hang- ing crazily on one hinge. I found the well - remembered 'ein elms' on a grassy slope and sat down to watch mating birds busily flirting and build- ing nests in the branches wh- ich were only just beginning to show as feathery green. Warblers--changing their drab winter plumage for the gay yel- low of a promised summer garb —dipped and dived in a see- saw flutter, their rather inef- fectual little chirp blending with the noisy caw of crows. The early morning concoction of bacon and eggs tasted good and the warm tea seemed like a tie between this moment in a lonely spot and its early preparation in my home kit- chen 'on the outskirts of a well populated town. I was trying hard to bridge the present with the past, When I had finished and. tossed the crusts of my picnic lunch to a nervous, but bold, red squirrel, I started in search of the reason for my coining. It wasn't far away. Just over a small hummock the drift of trilliums spread like a white carpet at the edge of the mead- ow. In the centre was a single red bloom just as the bulb had blossomed twenty years before. On the day we first discover- ed this phenomena of nature, the boys' father had related the superstition about Ontario's native flower. He told his sons: that it represented the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, and likewise the three graces, Faith, Hope and Char- ity. The eldest son had just ex- perienced the emotional cere- mony of confirmation in the faith of his fathers and he startled his parents by saying that the one red trillium re- minded him of the blood of Jesus Christ shed for us "that BY DOROTHY BARKER NEWS OF LONDESBORO 00g1.0Spooildept MRS, 44.0.A.4)g. r110.40 113.1Yth 37 r Miss Margaret Tamblyn, of Leamiegton, spent the weekend with her father and Jack.
