Audrey and Alan live in Kendal, Cumbria, in the beautiful Lake District. They have visited Canada every ten years or oftener. Now that they are both retired Audrey from Kaye Shoes, they have been able to fulfill their dream of a cross Canada trip. They travelled by Via Rail from Stratford, spent three days in Win- nipeg and took a Red River Cruise. They spent a whole month in Calgary and attended the Stampede every day. A man they met took them on a tour of Banff, Lake Louise, Yoho National Park, etc. Their host knew the -area well, so they enjoyed it immensely. They spent four days in the Victoria area, with a visit to Butchart Gardens. On their way back they shopped at the West Edmonton Mall, the largest mall in the world, which has many theatres and other attractions. At Brandon they spent a couple of days with Bill and Betty Murray and visited Sheila and Richard Lernowich. While staying here they were to London Fair, the Plowing Match, spent time with Olive and Alex Mur- ray and with Olive and Madeleine's sister Donna in Listowel and family members in Ethel and Elmira. Alan was able to renew acquain- tances with many of his old buddies who did come back to live in Canada and United States, among them Ron and Doris Johnson of Farmington, Mich. Ron was a blink -mate and olose friend of Alan's. They spent some time with them in Michigan, and Ron and Doris were here a week ago to see them again. The Remington's absorb a lot of in- formation on their travels and explore a lot on foot. Alan takes numerous pic- tures, and has over one hundred films not yet developed, as well as many Varna already done. He has a friend who has a herd of 140 Freisian cows, as well as a large flock of sheep, so he took pictures of farming operations in this area to show his friend. Sixty acres is a large farm where they live, yet most farmers are doing well with their dairy herd and sheep. They have no large implements, and they have pasturing rights on the moors for ° their sheep, which are a small but hardy breed, able to withstand winter conditions in the open. Cereal crops are grown on large company farms in southern England. They were pleased to spend an hour visiting by telephone with friends who called them from Montreal, something they wouldn't do in England. Alan had pictures of their lovely home in Kendal, and of their condominium -like winter residence in Spain on the Mediterranean Sea. Jim and Madeleine visited this delightful couple in England in 1981. U.C.W. Ruby Hill will tell about her visit to St. John's, Newfoundland and sur- rounding villages at Varna's U.C.W. meeting - on Thursday evening. Meeting time is 8:30. Next Sunday is Worldwide Communion.

With one possible exception, all members indicated this week they would seek re-election to their current positions. The exception may be Councillor Gaylan Josephson. "At the moment, I don't think I'll run," he advised, but noted that he had made the same decision three years ago and then changed his mind at the last minute and entered his name. None of the other members in- dicated any uncertainty. Mayor Bruce Shaw will be seeking his fifth term in the hope of setting a new record for longevity in that position. "I checked it out with my wife... and despite that I will run," he mused. Nominations run from October 17 to 21. All -candidates' meeting will be held on October 24 at which time current members and newcomers will be allowed to give their reports and air their views for the enlightenment of the electorate.

Oct. 5 date too popular as tag day Deciding that there would be too many tags on October 5, Exeter coun- cil this week turned down an applica- tion from the iluronia Branch of the Humane Society to stage a tag day on that dates-\ However, the groi•p will be advis- ed that they can get permission to conduct a tag day on another date if they so choose. After learning that the annual tag day of the South Huron hospital Aux- iliary was already scheduled for Oc- tober 5. council denied the request from the Humane Society.
