Fourth Daffodil Tea Most Successful Yet

The fourth annual Easter tea by the Daughters of Knox drew a good crowd at Miss Ruby Clark's home on Bower Ave. It highlighted growing popularity of the Daffodil Tea with a warm afternoon attracting many guests. Elizabeth Jang and Lynda Mann greeted entrants, with Betty Holmes overseeing the book. Mrs Hasaard, Women’s Missionary Society president, hosted in the living room, aided by June Watkin and Mrs W Toth. Hostesses included Caral Hannen Joyce Adams Beverley Stith and Paby Smethurst. Attendants poured tea by Mrs RO Armstrong Mrs Mainprice Mrs AK Mann and Mrs Ingles. Also notes: Trafalgar township expects Ford's feeder plants to open, drawing workers previously blocked by lack of facilities. Oakville-Trafalgar commuters may now flow into the area as Ford's salaried staff relocate, changing the local demographics.
