    Hidden Treasure
    1-11-'37
    Some fifty years ago it was popular belief that there was a canister of gold coins hidden in a ditch on our neighbour's farm. So popular was the belief that Mr Forster the occupant at that time had taken the ditch away but failed to succeed in his efforts, no lights have ever been seen about the treasure.
    This story has been to me by my Uncle who witnessed the uprooting of the ditch.
