tions Officer, Miss Edna
Boyle, accompanied by Mrs.
Weir Eckenswiller and Miss
May Boyle, journeyed to
Southampton for Holyrood
W.I. Day. It was such a
beautiful day and the ladies
soon unloaded the trunk of
the car and set up their table
of hand done crafts. Every
article was lovely and also a
crib quilt was in the frames
and quilting, crocheting and
knitting was being done,
along with a nice chit chat.
The visitors who called on
us were just intrigued with
the countless beautiful piec-
es of furniture,` sampler's
pictures, dishes and stoves
and all that went with good
homemaking of yesteryear.
Yes! even the organ in the
parlour got played. We were
just thrilled With our visitors
and even the curator and his
assistant came and visited
us: It was so interesting that
it should be our branch
president that had the pleas-
ure of going and being able
to say that her brother-in-
law; the late Harold Percy,
was Kinloss Township Reeve
and was instrumental in
procuring this .Log House to
have moved to Southampton
to be added to the Museum

when Mrs. Robb and her late
husband, John, and their
three sons, enjoyed the log
house as "Home Sweet

treasured things.

friends in the village during
the week and also visited her
brother, Orland, at Lucknow.

residents in our village a few
years ago.

his mother's death.
An autumn Elliott and
Hodgins family gathering
was held on Sunday at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John
Farrell and girls, concession
10 and also a presentation to
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Hodgins
and family who recently lost
their barn, arena, horses and
other valuable harness when
fire completely destroyed
their buildings and contents
at their Silver Acres Ranch at
St. Catharines. Two of the
boys were at home at the
time of the blaze, the barking
of the family dog and a
neighbour smashing a win-
dow glass awakened the
lads. We all feel sorry that
this unfortunate thing should
happen as Glen and Rosalind
and family purchased this
Ranch earlier this year.
Kinlough and District Bib-
- le Society executive met on
Monday evening at the home,
