CORNISH Westinghouse Dealer" CLINTON first appeared on an old map in the year A.D. 1511. It was named after a Spaniard Juan de Ber- mudez, who was shipwrecked there in 1505., In 1609, nine ships sailed from Plymouth, England, on June 2, with immigrants bound for Vir- ginia. On July 24, they ran into a very heavy storm. .After three days buffeting, the flagship, "The Sea Venture" under Sir George Slimmers, was on the -point :of sink- ing, when she was shipwrecked on Bermuda. After staying on the island -for ten months, during time a neW ship,Was,built out of native woods, they set sail again for Vir- ginia, There they found thesettlers in dire straights forwantof food and, from attacks by Indians. There had been plenty of fowl and fish on Bermuda, so the crew went back to the island for supplies, which was considered -a remark- able feat of navigation, Bermuda was col'omzed by Eng- lish settlers in 1609. (Mr, Outer- bridge1620.),'s.aneestors settled there in Bermuda is, the oldest British, Crown colony: It is governed by a house of assembly, elected locally; and the governor from England represents the Crown. Its periods of development have beengreatest during wars, -lying as it does in such a strategic location. Mr. Outerlaridge recounted the story of how the islanders allowed a sup- ply of gunpowder to be stolen by the Americans during -the War of Independence which had much to do with the fall .of Boston to the Americans. General Washington knew of the supply and wrote -a letter asking for it, Afterwards he wrote a letter of thanks and sent food supplies to Bermuda which had been cut off by the blockade. It is 25 miles long, and about one mile wide, containing 19 square miles. The population is 38,000, being comprised of 25,000 coloured and 13,000 white, It now has a British garrison, an Ameri- can airforce base, a British dock- yard and an American naval, base. It is connected by air with daily commercial flights from the USA, one a week from Canada, and oth- er transatlantic bases. The climate is very even (tem- perature about 78 degrees) with brisk salt air and a subtropical vegetation. This tiny spot in the Atlantic is a veritable hive of'in- dustry. The chief ,export now is Easter,1flies. •At one time it was onions, but Texas has usurped that trade, labelling their product "Ber- muda Onions". The greatest busi- ness of the island is the tourist industry, and importing, chiefly from England, for sale to the tour- ists. There is primary and sec- ondary education given on Ber- muda, and its young people must go to Canada or the USA for high- er education. Mrs, William • E. Parker expres- sed the thanks of the meeting to the rector for his excellent ad- dress.

"Birds and Dogs" Are Subjects For Fun At "`the Hut" This Winter The mistress. at "The Hut" has been feeding three little Juncos. The mystery of three" has not yet been solved..: Whether one is a spinster or bachelor, a widow or widower, or just a grass -widow Ivaiting for a mate which migrated and failed to return, is unknown. Suffice it to say that there is 'saf-, ety in numbers -and three is a lucky number! At least, that is what an artist intimated years apo when he, painted three crows in flight on a sketch for the writer. Perhaps it would have been bet- ter to state that the Mistress was ATTEMPTING tofeed three Jun- cos, Before the snow came, she had It table set out in 'the garden, On this she zealously put crumbs and soaked bits of stale bread for the wee birds. This attracted the spar- rows .and starlings, too. , But one day, Thunder," the Great Dane, was seen with hisfront paws on the table giving it the once over with his tongue. After the snow came and the table . was covered, the Mistress threw the scraps outside the door. And thereafter, "Skippy", a small brown' terrier of 'sorts (female) and "Sammy",a small black and white fox' terrier, raced over each day to pick out of the snow what they wouldn't eat at home if. It were given to them. One day Thunder arrived just when Skippy was devouring the Wedding Carradine-Millsap (By our •Bayfield correspondent) The Church of St. John the Evangelist, London, was the set- ting for the marriage of Jacquel- ine Ann (Jill),. daughter of Mr: and Mrs. E.

The males stand in awe of lith (They have just reason to fear him since he has sent more than one home, greviously wounded, to lick -his sores, after an altercation. Some- times- the other dog has had to have the attention of a veterinary surgeon). So Sammy, standing by, discreetly made himself scarce and withdrew to bark at the front gate. But not Skippy. She con- tinued to pick up the tid-bits. When Thunderapproached, ginger- ly, with his mouth drooling, the hair on her back stood up, and she made one rush at him, and growled. - And that great big bold dog went as far as the driveway, turned to take a stand, almost cringing, with one paw up ready for instant flight. Skippy returned to her treat. Thunder finally went off disdainfully while Sammy voic- ed his vindictiveness from a safe distance. And so now attempts to feed the three Juncos bring daily visit., ors to the back door at "The Hut" —Sammy, Skippy, Thunder. and a whole flock of starlings (The spar- rows •haven't appeared, lately. -It's been a bit too cold, for them 'or perhaps there are better pickings in someone`s henhouse). One day when it was snowing and the three Juncos had alighted to see what was left for them, the Mistress startled them by opening the door and scattering some dry oatmeal on the snow, It continued to snow and they did not return that day. But next day, she descried the three timid birdies scratching merrily in the snow like old hens in a flower garden, So they didn't go hungry in the cold weather after all! And during this cold snap its been nice to glimpse the white feathers in their tails. flashing against their slate -gray plumage, as they flit about the shrubbery. It makes one realize that though the thermometer may hbver around the zero mark, Spring isn't 30 very far away after all, KIDNEYACIDS Rob your Rest. Many people never seem to get a good night's rest.
