One was in Ballantrae on Hwy. 48, the other near McCowan and Aurora roads. When the farms were operational, pro- ceeds would go for Sleeping Children Around the World. When they were sold in the late 1980s and early 19905, a fund was set up which pays expenses of run- ning the charity and allows 100 per cent of all donations to go for the bed kits. Dave Dryden remembers his dad doing a lot of the work, working on through dry weather, hail and mice damage. The largest problems remain unemâ€" ployment, AIDS and malaria in many African countries, so the mosquito net included in the bedkit is quite an asset to the children’s homes. The trees the Dryden family plant- ed, pruned and cared for themselves are still helping children in developing countries have a cozy night’s sleep.
