Morse code machine that was used on the rail line.
Blanch Carpenter helped as our telephone switchboard operator. Carol
Fulford worked the General store and Joy Lalonde in the dentist office.

the school room. Thank you to all of the volunteers and to Joe Rimmer for
taking pictures. Ernestine Sepke greeted the 46 school children with 3 teachers
in attendance as well as some of the public. The day was very successful with
the children leaving with suckers and cookies to get them back to school and we
hope a little more information about how life used to be. 7.4
