Lavenham and District News From the 1950s Canada
Haying is in full swing with crops on the sand hills looking well. The column reports local tours, family visits from Winnipeg, a July 15 Conservative nominating convention in Holland with Duff Roblin speaking, and plans for Audrey Henry’s wedding at Lavenham United Church. Volunteers, farm life, and community events populate the week, including the Portage fair and Orange Lodge gatherings.
