BONSHAW HILLS TRAIL CLEAN-UP. M05t people enjoy a day in the woods. Members of the Bonshaw Hills Trail Club and of the Natural History Society are planning at least two such days—e Saturday, May 7 and Saturday May

lh. We meet at the YMCA corner at 10:00 p.m. for car pooling. The plan is to leave one car at St. Catherines near the beginning of the trail, then take the other cars and all the people to Bonshaw. We shall walk the

trail to St. Chaerines, clearing off the fallen trees and branches. Water- proof footwear and work gloves are advisable. We hope the “sketters”

will not be about, but better be prepared. Better pack a light lunch also. Persons west of Charlottetown who wish to join the crew should be waiting by the service station at Bonshaw by l0:l5.
