District Happenings by Ann Forrest
Ann Forrest relays a village week with Easter visits in Virden and Kenton. Norman Mack moved to Winnipeg General, Glen McLean and Melvin Hunter remain in Hamiota hospital, and Gordon Taylor of Rivers is remembered. A humorous note on glasses and eyebrows, a curling ban reference, church visits, and village anecdotes fill the column.
