April Fools and March Reflections in Local Life
A cluttered local page notes April Fool’s Day and March’s march on. It mentions highway conditions near Acton and a fined speeding note, a lost and found pun in Guelph, and new orange rust paint on a water tank. It reports Ernest Wert’s election as president of the Guelph Baptist Young People, Halton County Seed Fair results in Milton, cows selling for up to 150 dollars at John J Tone’s Rockwood farm, and Percherons bringing 300 dollars with oats at 1.27 a bushel.
