Members of St. Josephs Parish, Kingsbridge held an open house Sunday when relatives, friends and neigh- bours gathered to wish "Bern", as they fondly call her, a Happy Birthday. She never thought of herself as an octogenarian but after celebrating her 80th birthday, finds it is good. Mrs. Kinney retired to the Kingsbridge community 10 years ago having been a summer resident since she and her husband purchased ' a house there in 1946. While she had planned to research and write her genealogy during retirement, she has been actively involved in her community. and has met many people through her involvement with organizations. Everyone is proud to.call her friend. She has worked to preserve the Huron Historic Gaol because her grand- father was Jailer Griffin, the first jailer in the Canadian penal system to permit prisoners to leave jail during confinement. She is a member of the Gaol Board, the Huron Historical Society and the Genealogical Society. She is a descendant of Morgan King, one of the original nine settlers in the Kingsbridge community and for whom the community is named.

Bernardine was serious about her responsibility to her own family and didn't marry until she was in her forties. She knew Jack Kinney for six years but was hesitant to marry the widower with teenage children. She relented and the couple married in 1946. While their marriage was a happy one , it was short- lived as Jack died of a coronary in 1954. The memories, however, are still treasured. "I never wanted to marry another man;' she says. Bernadine now hopes to find time to write about her family memories and to research family history. With a firm resolve to remain active in various organizations, Bernardine is planning a garden party and looks forward to opening of The Livery in Goderich. Bernardine added a per- sonal touch to her workmg career and she has extended that caring attitude to her friendships. Summer courses offered The Huron County Board of Education is offering a full Summer School Program at Central Huron Secondary School again this year. Courses are offered to both elementary and secondary school students in math, English, science, history and geography. For a four week period beginning July 4, summer school students receive in- tensive, personal instruction in one subject for three hours each day. Since class sizes are usually small, and since only one subject is being studied, students have an ex- cellent opportunity to im- prove their understanding of a subject so that the follow- ing years' work will be easier. Bus transportation has been arranged to collect students from the major areas of the county. This ar- rangement will be improved once school actually starts and it is known who is com- ing. In the past, both staff and students have found summer school to be a rewarding ex- perience — not only for the improvement in regular school work, but also for the experience of summer school itself. Small classes, a new environment, good weather and a relaxed at- mosphere all tend to make summer school enjoyable. A complete list of courses offered is available from all school principals, guidance counselors or by contacting: R. Parr, Summer School Principal, Central Huron Secondary School.
