On one farm in Usborne there was no rain, the farmer working in his field while on a neighbor’s farm close by the eavestroughs could not carry off the water.

Miss Reta Rowe Addresses Lions Club on Her Trip To England Miss Reta Rowe gave an interest­ ing account of her recent trip over­ seas at a meeting of the Lions Club in the Central Hotel Monday even­ ing. Miss Rowe, who set out alone for a six weeks tour of Great Britain and Scotland, said that she found travelling comparatively easy and pleasant and at no time did she feel the least bit afraid. Sailing from Montreal she felt a tug at the heart­strings as the boat was about to sail and as those on board and friends on the dock threw streamers one to- the other and waved theii- good-byes while she was alone amid strangers. After two days of sailing down the 'majestic St, Lawrence, two days in which she was able to explore the boat on which she was travelling, she was taken down with seasickness and for a week she kept her bed. She was able to be around again be­fore landing and found, the docking of the boat at Liverpool just as in­ teresting as at the start. That even­ing, after having secured her lodg­ ings, on the top of the double-deck tram car she toured the city of Liv­erpool being able to travel where she pleased on a 7-penny ticket. It was rural England that Miss Rowe was particularly anxious to see and she started the day after landing for Heistoil, Cornwall, interested in seeing the floral dance, an annual celebration that has been going on for hundreds of years. Passing through Herefordshire, Shropshire, Devonshire, and Cornwall she was attracted by the walled properties and the fields surrounded by hedges. With Devonshire blood in her veins Miss Rowe was true to her ancestry and thought Devonshire with its soft rolling hills, the most beautiful of them all. At Helston the floral dance starts at seven o’clock in the morning when the servants and farm boys dance down the street, thro’ the front doors of the homes and out the back. Various dances fol­low even to the officials of the town with their lady folk dressed in their best for the oiccason all going thro' the same dance. This lasted till noon and in the afternoon and evening there was folk dancing on the green. A trip was made to Land’s End. the southern point of England. In Corn­wall Miss Rowe visited the chapel where her grandfather was baptized and she saw the record in a register. At Barnstaple, in Devon, she visited the home where her grandfather on her mother’s side was bora. The roof was thatched as it had been for years and the .floor of the large kit­ chen* was of stone; At Exeter she visited the printing office, and the famous old and majestic Exeter Ca­thedral. • Miss Rowe spoke of her visit to Stratford-on-Avon, to the Memorial theatre, the home of Anne Hathaway, and the birthplace of Shakespeare. She told of hei’ visit to Old London with its historic points of interest; of going through the Windermere Lake District and on to Edinburgh in Scotland. In Scotland among other places she visited Loch Lomond and the Tros- sacks. Visiting the great Glasgow Exhibition Miss Rowe was somewhat disappointed with Canada Building. It was great and splendid in many respects, but greeting you in the entrance was a large buffalo and inside were the. figures of Indians dressed in their’Indian costumes She felt that this left a wrong impres­sion on those who knew so little of Canada. Miss Rowe’s trip home was somewhat more ipfesaant than the trip over. She was roundly applaud­ed as she took her seat. We. hope to have more of her in­teresting trip for our readers next week. FLYNN—(PARKINS A very pretty wedding was sol­ emnized on June 16th when Annie Emma, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. parkins, Benfield, became the bride of Cline Atkinson Flynn, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Flynn, Exeter. The Rev. Mr. Olm­ sted, of Ailsa C-raig performed the; ceremony. The bride was lovely in, a gown of pale pink sheer with tucked bodice and a coronet of small roses in her hair. She liad white accessories and 'tarried a sheaf of pink roses, white carna­tions and maiden hair fern. The groom’s sister Miss Helen Flynn at­ tended tlie bride wearing a robin­egg blue gown with pink accessories and a corsage of pink roses. Mr Murray Parkins brother of the bride acted as groomsman. Following the ceremony a wedding dinner was served^ to the immediate relatives. Later the bride and groom left amid showers of confetti on a .honeymoon, trip to Montreal, the bride traveling in a blue tailored suit, white felt hat and matching accessories. On their return they will reside in Lon­don.
