In 1926 a Club Room was annexed by the Women's Institute. The nthly meetings of the W. I. were held here and it also served as a kitchen r suppers held in the Hall. Often times the Young Peoples Club, 4-H Club d other gatherings met here.

At election time two polls were in operation, one in the main hall, (I one in the Club Room.

Not until 1934 was there a horse shed at the hall. In previous years, bert Marchbank stabled hundreds of horses for people who attended the any varied functions at the hall. When motor cars became popular and e shed was no longer needed. it was purchased by Harry HeffeII in 1957 d moved in September to his farm by Allan MacDonald.

Recently, due to lack of interest because our youth have easier eans of transportation and can travel farther, the hall has been rapidly teriorating.

The general consensus is that it is too costly to convert this structure a modern hall. Also in the near future our school, which is in good repair. in be available for purchase.

MOMUMENT

After the war of 1914-1918 the citizens of Traveller’s Rest felt that a

itable recognition should be given the four boys who made the supreme crifice.

The suggestion of a monument was spearheaded by the Women's

stitute, and after considerable discussion. it was decided to erect one in eir memory. ‘

This monument was placed on the north side of the old Post Road ith the Hall as its background on land previously donated by Robert archbank. The cost of this monument was shared by New Annan, Sher- rooke, Read’s Corner and Traveller's Rest.

The following excerpt taken from a newspaper clipping regarding the nveiling of the memorial at Traveller's Rest is as follows: “The unveiling of e beautiful soldiers monument at Traveller's Rest on Wednesday after- on, September 14, 1921 was a most impressive affair, and one that show- that the gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives in the war is very uch alive in the hearts of all. There was a very large number of people

resent from all parts of the surrounding country and the program was car- ed through well.

A large stage was erected by the monument to accommodate the our and speakers. The chorr was composed of about twenty-five voices d the music was indeed of a very high order.

The stand was handsomely decorated with bunting and flags from any staffs. Flowers too. were there in abundance. There were wreaths

om the Women’s Institute of New Annan, Traveller's Rest, Sherbrooke, as ell as many given by friends of the departed boys.

The service opened with the doxology, after which the children arched from the school, carrying flags and led by “Miss Canada". After arching around the monument, they lined up and sang “O Canada". The ildren are deserving of the highest praise for the manner in which they rried out their part of the program. Miss Matheson and Mrs. Margaret
