- Mr. Gordon Spence has been in this place for some days, trying to put out the fire in the sawdust pile, which has been burning since the mill burned last fall.

He married and went to the USA. He has been living in Chicago for a number of years. Bill was in a car accident and died on Good Friday.

- A fall of 5 inches of snow came to us on the night of the 23rd. This will cool off the fishing sports for a few days. Maybe they won’t be so hot for Daylight Saving Time. That foolery is a heavy loss to the farmers at large. They don’t seem to know or care that the farmer feeds the world.

- Regret to report that Mrs. Foster Russell, Peter and the former’s mother, Mrs. E.A. Long, closed their house here and moved to New Ross on Monday. Their many friends wish them all the best in their new home. Mrs. Charles Russell had spent two weeks with them here and will visit them at New Ross for a time.  They will occupy the home of Mrs. Freda Murphy and Peter will attend Lake Ramsay School. We were very sorry to see them move. They were top notch citizens and with the three generations who have lived in the home, no one was turned away hungry or cold. Anyone in need was a challenge, which was met with a helping hand. We can hope they will return to us one day.

Mrs. Gertrude Taylor became ill and Eric Wilson, Basil Lowe and Don McPherson drove to New Germany for Dr. Crowe, who after being assisted by the neighbours with shovels and bulldozer got the jeep through before night. Sorry to say Mrs. Taylor is suffering from pneumonia. Dr. Crowe was also called to Mrs. E.H. Saunders Tuesday who has improved.

- Friends of Francis Gaul regret that his operation has to wait until the middle of May. With all the hospitals we have it seems no one should have to wait that long.
