     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.
