SANTA Clandeboye Anglicans choose new executive By BILL GIBSON Well here it is November and I am dreaming of a White Christ- ma.s this year. It sure doesn't seem like Christmas coming on so soon here with all the beauti- ful weather we are having and summer on its way. Although the stores have started their decor- ation, just seems funny to see them. Temperatures have been in the 80's during the days here and do drop fairly rapidly in the evenings and one needs a cardigan or jumper on. The roses are in full bloom now and they are really beautiful along with the poppies, rhohodendrons and such like spring flowers. The people here really go in for gardening and keeping their lawns and gardens beautiful. Have been taking advantage of the good weather down here now and do manage to get out and do a day's sun bathing on Sundays and have managed to get myself a nice tan. Usually spend Sundays doing this and then come back and go to church in the evenings along with my friend. Spent the day at Burrinjack Dam and this is one of the larger irrigation and water conservation dams as there are several of such dams in this area. The water is very low at present as we just haven't had the rain to keep up the level asked by Bishop Luxton to attend the first meeting of the chapter of West Middlesex at St. John Church in Strathroy, Dec. 10. A short service will be at 1:00 o'clock at St. James so the Rec- tor, Wardens, Vestry clerk, delegates to Synod and substi- tute can attend the service in Strathroy. On SATURDAY DEC. 16 At 2:00 P.M. and this of course puts the danger of fire up as the paddocks are not as green and alive as they should be for this time of year. They announce on the radio each day on what the fire danger is for the day and as you drive along the roads there are signs with which they have an arrow on them and it is placed at either low, moderate, high or very high danger and these are also changed from day to day. Apparently from what I can gather from the people here the gam trees are very highly inflammable and as they burn they seem to explode sending flames on to the others so you can see why so much care must be taken. The government takes over a considerable amount of land which they look after for the con- servation of wild life and native flowers and one isn't allowed to remove anything from these areas and if caught there is a very high fine. This is a good thing as a lot of the native animals are being destroyed and soon some of them would become ex- tinct. There are very few Koala Bears left in the country and about the only place they can be seen is in the Zoos, but I under- stand that the government has been trying to build the popu- lation of them up now by raising them so far and then putting them out in special areas to go back into their natural habitation. I have been fortunate myself here in picking up a part-time job as wages are on the low side and in this way it helps to have a little extra for getting around. I would like to take this op- portunity of wishing all of the fine people back in Hensall and area a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will be thinking of you all while I spend the day on the coast, as I plan on going to Sydney for a few days then. tkiiih:84*tiquet- By MRS. J. H.
