The annual Harvest Dinner held on Oct. 17th was well attended. Everyone had high praise for the super dinner provided by the Ladies Auxiliary. There were several out of town visitors at the dinner. One such visitor came looking for Lint McConville. He was Mr. Lloyd Vanoider, a neighbour and school friend of Lint in the Glendale area back in the 1930's. The last time they met was in 1946 at a reception for returned veterans of the Kingston area. Lint moved to Portland in 1955 and Lloyd to Perth in 1955 and they didn't know that they were so close.
