Pictures of community activities will be included in this book and also a chapter on family pictures of babies, children, adult families, weddings etc. l Don Stephen's Printing staff is n producing the book the same as the first' book "Between the Fenc- es". The many family stories, the municipal election and a new gran - daughter have all contributed to a busy staff. Cathie Alexander, who is doing the typing setting and the layout of the pages, has the school chapter completed with over 300 one room school pictures and also the 30 graduating pictures of Usborne Central School. She has over half the family stories finished. You can't hurry a book as each page has to be completed with the story and the pictures. The book will be out in 1995 and the plan is that it will be the same as the first book complete with almost all new stories.
