Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jory, Mr.
and Mrs. Les Thomson and Mrs.
William Thomson left Exeter oil
June 29 for a trip to California,
Crossing at Sarnia they spent
the first night at Tremont, In
diana, twenty miles out of Chi
cago. They visited- Indiana State
Dune Park on Lake Michigan
that evening.
As they continued their trip
west the next day, the view as
they neared the valley of the
Mississippi River was beautiful.
Crops Flooded
After crossing the river, on a
half-mile-long bridge at Musca
tine, our friends drove across
Illinois to Des Moines, Iowa. Here
they saw corn crops, which are
the state’s main crop, flooded out.
Linemen were fishing hydro and
telephone poles out of the river
with large .hooks on the ends of
poles.

on home canning she emphasized
the saving in time and money by
canning one’s own fruits and

produce.” said Mary. She ex

presented with a provincial cer
tificate and honor pin.

“Home Beautification” for her
project. She gave a most interest
ing account of what she, with
the help of her father, had ac
complished to improve the ap
pearance of their home and grounds. |
Elaine Bell, Lois McLellan,
Anne Sinclair and Marie Jarrott
of the “Thrifty Kippenettes"
spoke on their special project,
growing strawberries. They ex
plained the preparation of the
soil, method of planting and care
of the plants. They reported on
the different varieties of berries
and their method of preserving
them. Bonnie Kyle planted rasp

this year, but she exhibited a
quart of preserved fruit and jam
