KINLOCK RANCH Kinlock

Built in the 18905, this house was later acquired by W.K. Rogers. It is now owned by his grand—daughter and her husband, Margaret and William

Wood, who call it Kinlock Ranch.

SOUTHPORT

How I love your wave washed shore When heaven bathes you in its sun, And even when the breakers roar To sit and watch them can be fun. Sunsets make your sea a glass

Of rainbow colours, boats, church spires,

A wind-filled sail will likely pass, Perchance the glow of some bonfire.

The quietness of our village nights, When all our daily tasks are o’er,

ls made more peaceful by the lights Reflected from the other shore.

The lawns all shorn and green,

The treetops whispering in the breeze. Oh, this is such a lovely scene,

It fills my heart with joy and peace.

We are proud of this beautiful land Our forefathers built it with pride In its beauty we see God’s hand, And may that always be our guide
