Weather Woes Hit Kendal Area With Rain Up and Down
The Kendal community reports alternating rain patterns with last summer’s drought and forest fires. Cattle graze in tall grass as hay savings threaten, while farmers hope for sun to dry stock. Rev McGee of Oshawa led July services in Kendal with sermons every Sunday at 11 15 am and a July Sunday School. A June 29 retirement event in Newtonville honored Rev R C White and Mrs White with musical numbers from local choirs and a reception for ten years of service, attended by visitors from nearby towns.
