The village refused to issue such a letter._______ ____________________________________________________________ Sunshine UCW Unit has Easter theme There were no injuries, but charges have been laid against an Auburn man after a two vehicle accident that occurred at 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, April 18, on Con cession 2-3 in East Wawanosh Township.

His older brother disappeared, his father was shot down while riding his bicycle home from work by soldiers in an army truck. Later their home was burn ed. He and his mother and sister fled to Guatamala. He still did not feel safe here so leaving his mother and sister he fled further. After many dangerous situations he met a man who befriended him and brought him to Canada. Here the lady that tells the story “Ruth Boathrow” adopted him into her home. She tells of the many obstacles he overcame, including learning the English language. He became a great help to her and others and now hopes to become a Canadian Citizen.

People Mrs. Patricia McGowan and family Tom and Leslie of Port Burwell, Faith Drake and twin sons Kenneth and Ryan of Port Dover visited on Sunday with Mrs. Ella Carter. Last Saturday morning about 9:30 a.m., when the mist was still loathe to dispel, trucks, cars, Scouts, Cubs and their leaders and parents were gathering on Mill Si. near the school in Blyth. One noticed that Leader Herb Shannon’s truck was loaded to the hilt with a huge tied bundle of 200 black walnut seedlings, and many huge, heavily wrapped pracels containing 800 evergreens. This crew of 32 were on their way to plant in the Londesboro and Blyth areas. The seedlings had been ordered (the walnut as long ago as five years, the evergreen, two or three years) from the Ministry of Natural Resources Reforestration in St. Williams near Ailsa Craig. This annual project is made possible through the Canadian Scout Move ment. How appropriate, this year, for the Scouts’ annual planting adven ture, always held around April 21, to almost coincide with Earth Day which is bound to become one of the most important days of the year. Thanks to the speedy and explicit planting directions given by the leaders and assistants - the work was completed in less than an hour. The crew, to cap their successful environmental endeavours Satur day enjoyed a wiener roast before returning to their homes. The Scouts and Cubs wish to express sincere thanks to all who have honoured their generous pledges; and to their leaders and the strong support of their villages’ or township’s administration.
