TELLS OF TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
INTERESTING ADDRESS BY MISS HELEN KINNEAR BEFORE BAPTIST LADIES’ AID
[The Welland Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 15 October 1931]
Miss Helen Kinnear was the guest of the Ladies’ Aid of the Baptist church at their monthly meeting held Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Thos. Winn-Fielden avenue. Miss Kinnear, who with her mother, Mrs. L. Kinnear and her sister, Miss Jennie Kinnear, spent last winter in California, gave a most intereting and instructive address on the tour and their visit in that beautiful state. Miss Kinnear told of the gorgeous buildings, and number of large and beautiful churches, the most beautiful of which was the chapel at Leland Stamford Univeristy, of Palo Alto, where President Hoover had his home on the campus.
The climate of California, its trees, and abundance of beautiful flowers, and also the desert and the desert roads and cactus were also mentioned, as was Catalina Island and Carlsbad Caverns, and Submarine Gardens.
The visit to Ti Juana in Mexico and to Balboa Park in San Diego were descibed, the beautiful pipe organ at the latter place where the Christmas pageant is given each Christmas season being one of the most interesting events of the tour. The speaker showed a number of interesting views. The Festival of Roses, Miss Kinnear stated, was an event which would long be remembered.
A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Miss Kinnear for her interesting address.
