Ell Lapp operated the projector and Bernice was the conductor, pointing out the particular areas or persons. Members saw Auburn’s old evaporator, two lumber mills, and several stores and churches. Of course, there was the old bridge across the Maitland and also the bridge of today. There were pictures of people which certainly brought back memories. There are always those special ones who will never be forgotten. The pictures were enjoyed and special thanks to Bernice and to her son William, who made the projection pictures. A short business followed with Margaret Hildebrand in charge. President Ethel Ball was visiting relatives in Wawa. It was decided not to take the Seniors trip to Kingston in June. However some will try to attend the Goderich seniors meeting. Perhaps a trip in July might be enjoyed and Margaret will seek information on this possibility. Special thanks to Bernice Anderson for inviting the Silver Tops to her home and for the most enjoyable pictures. WZ learns from florist Auburn WI invited surrounding WIs to join them on May 20. There was excellent attendance. President, Betty Archambault welcomed everyone. Betty introduced a florist, who told how to cut flowers for bouquets and the best way to make them last.

She was thanked by Laura Mae Chamney and was presented with a gift. Readings were then given by guest WIs. The first one was on a new author’s books.

Some time in the night the hydro was off and so the alarm did not ring. However via TV we attended Pentecost service at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. Kitchener. As red is the pentecost colour their pastor wore his red cape and even his socks. He spoke of the Christian tradition to Pentecost and the events in Acts 2. This is where Christ sent the spirit to the disciples. The minister spoke of the acceptance in today’s world of God’s miracles. They are all around and just part of daily routine. As he spoke we saw God’s miracles on our doorstep. Ell has two wren houses built and we have wrens with us - their morning singing usually awakens me before the alarm clock. This morning this pair was busily flitting to and fro building their nest in our barbecue. Ell had noticed earlier material in a small entrance hole in it! We are also really blessed with hummingbirds. We have two feeders, there are two feeding at one now as I write. They are simply beautiful miniature mites - ours of course is the ruby throat and the iridescence metallic green is indescribable! Baltimore Orioles are assisting in devouring the nectar in feeders. To top it all I just started to get read were remembered by many. The last guest speaker told about a young group’s visit to the Toronto Exhibition. It was a real laugh but also brought back memories. Ruth Jardin, Blyth, who is an Auburn WI member closed the readings with a thought-provoking one on the upcoming election. They were all excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone was invited to choose cake strawberries and beverage. Following this there was a large penny sale with Betty Archambault and Jean Plaetzer in charge. A good number of those present won something from the table. Several were extra lucky. sets waste fee nance purposes. Council concurred with Morris Twp. asking the provincial govern­ ment to implement a rural water quality improvement program.

Fanners would also have Continued on page 15 lunch and Ell said “Look quick, here’s a cat bird.” There it was eating in the flower bed. We watched it fly into the valley - we will probably hear it ‘meow’ and occasionally see it. They are rather shy birds. We are so fortunate to live in Bird Paradise here! Monday we also had other visitors but not birds. I was getting breakfast and thought I saw our cat back by the pine woods at our east. That cat was a young fox which was followed by a second one. Probably a young pair home seeking - they investigated and finally travelled south. We also saw a coyote a couple of weeks ago in the backyard. What next? Is honesty important to you?
