A note in- side explained that the orange -red bulb program was the project of the Delta Lloyd Schadeverzckeringsgroep company to commemorate the thirty-fifth anniversary of Holland's liberation by Cana- dian troops, and in recogni- tion of the strong bond established between the two countries at that time. Deciding she had nothing to lose by trying, the Hensall clerk wrote to the company in the Netherlands asking if they would consider sending bulbs to Hensall, too. She received a replay, making no definite commitment but asking when tulips should be planted in Canada. Betty sent off another letter saying October was the best month, and heard nothing more from Holland. She had almost forgotten the exchange until last Wednesday. Two large boxes were delivered to the Hensall village office. The outside of each was stamped "Product of Holland". When opened each box revealed 1,000 Dutch tulip bulbs. Members of the Hensall BIA will plant the bulbs in the downtown flower beds, and spring visitors to the village's Centennial celebrations next year will be greeted by tangi- ble evidence of a still -strong bond forged many years ago.
