ACW visit police English visitors at WMS RICHMOND HILL â€"- Life in a small English village today was described by Mrs. Madge Benson of Roecliffe. Yorkshire. at last week‘s Wednesday meeting of the Presbyterian WMS. Roecliffe is a village of 130 people surrounded by an agricultural community. all very interested in the beautiful treed village green, she said. Everyone helps each other and it is a very happy community. The lime. horse chestnut and sycamore trees which line the green were planted 75 years ago by Henry Wilson, who still lives in the village. although he suffered a coronary about a month ago. The trees were paid for by the local church. Evidence the trees were getting old was apparent a few years ago and the whole village undertook to raise enough money through barbecues, dances and comino drives, etc. to provide the necessary treatment to ensure they would remain healthy. Earlier this year the cdmmittee held a cheese and wine party which raised 72 pounds to ensure con- tinued care. The Women‘s Institute has planted hundreds of daffodils around the trees and at the approaches of the village to add to its natural beauty. The meeting began with‘a delicious pot luck luncheon, after which Gladys Savage read the Bible Lesson and Mable Mackie led in prayer. Staff Sergeant Gordon Bacon served as their guide, pointing out some of the highlights â€" the lecture room, stolen articles room, exercise room, finger printing department, as well as the women's cell area and the men‘s cell area. The ladies were impressed with the spaciousness and architecture of the building.
