we say.A number of the Belmore school

tained the ladies b.y singing, Two of the senior girls, Dorothy McNee and
Shirley Merkley repited, and the juniors sang a motion song.
The roll call was “The best things

thankful for.
Rev. H. West then gave an address
on the Channel Islands, basing his
remarks mainly on the Island of Jer
sey where he spent five years in the
ministry. This was interesting to the
children as well as the adults, as he told of the strip farming carried on
there; of how the men provide coats for their cows when the weather is
cool; of the granite found there; the
different kinds of fish including
crabs, of how cabbages grow so tall
that the stalks can be used to help clean the upstairs windows; of the
large number of churches on the island which is only 10 miles long and
6 miles wide and that Dr. Dory, now moderator of the United Church was
born on the Island of Jersey.
The meeting closed with the National Anthem, after which Mrs. Alan
Darling, Mrs. R, Baird and Mrs. A.
Jeffray served home-made candy to
all present.

John Kaihler were much appreciated, then Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Mundell
