Ruth was the first to re- turn home from her travels. She motored alone to Cape Cod where she spent a week and took a side trip to Mar- tha's Vineyard. This en- tailed a ferry ride from the mainland and it was such an enjoyable experience that she decided to take advant- age of other ferry rides where possible. The next one was from Eastport. Maine, to Camp- obello Island where she had the pleasure of visiting the Franklin Roosevelt summer home. a beautiful and spac- ious residence. It was on to another ferry to neighboring Deer Island. the passage be- ing noted for the fastest and wildest currents in the At- lantic. Another ferry ride took her to the New Brunswick mainland and after a half an hour's drive, another took her to Grand Manan Island. Here Mrs. Cook stayed at the beautiful old Marathon Inn at North Head and found, Grand Manan a thoroughly unspoiled working island. “Kippers were drying every- where and lobster pots were prominent throughout the island. It's a bird watcher's paradise with more than 250 species recorded. Even the' great American naturalist. Audubon, was impressed by the number of species there. It is a bird sanctuary and an eider duck nesting ground," she reports. Mrs. Cook made the re- turn trip to Richmond Hill via the mountains of the New England States and Montreal. In the meantime Bill has been on a three week trip to Europe. He visited Frank- furt and Munich in Germ- any and found the latter a most interesting city, where he walked and walked.

Believ- ing that it is bad enough to have to pay tax on tax- able items, our reader did not buy the tissue but went to a nearby drug store where she was able to purchase it without tax. She asked us to point out to other readers that facial tissues are non- taxable and the‘tax should not be paid.

This play was one of three per- formed August 15 and 16 at Richmond Hill United Church under the careful direction of David Phillips.

The group had been vigorously rehearsing since mid-June to prepare for their opening and was an excellent way in which to provide a working atmosphere for the theatrically minded.
