If anyone's
geographical interest
survived the week - and
probably most of you
knew already - the nor-
thernmost point of
Canada is Cape
Columbia, N.W.T., the
southernmost is Middle
Island (Lake Erie)
Ontario, and the rainiest
spot is Henderson Lake
on Vancouver Island,
B.C. with an average
rainfall of 262 inches. If
any reader cares to
dispute the facts, the
authority for the above
trivia is The World
Almanac 1978.

Many changes
in Varna
Since we came to
Varna five years ago,
half of the residences
have changed ownership,
and three new houses
have been built. The.
three. businesses on or
near the intersection
have changed hands, too,
and recently Norman
Smith sold his 'tractor
repair shop to Bob
Norman, who owns
property adjacent to it.
Bob gets possession on
October 1 and intends to
use the shop to repair his
own farm machinery.
Norman has, been in
business for 20 years,
since he and his brother
Walter took over Harvey
Boyce's welding shop. A
year later, Norm bought
John Aldington's hard-
ware store across the
road and moved' his
business there, and
Walter went to work for
John McAdam.
Norm (Mr. Fix -it for
