"It's the personal touch that
means so much," were the words
used by Miss Agnes Lizmore, of
Westminster IlOspital when she
gave an inspiring talk to the ladies
of the Legion Auxiliary Monday
night,
Miss Lizmore, who has worked
With the Vets for over 20 years,
told of the lonely existence of
these old and young and often
forgotten war veterans; of the
ones whose families have forgot-
ten them, sometimes until it's too
late; till they have reached their
final reward, and peace. Then
these 'loved' ones come to shed
their tears of sorrow, — the
tears cannot be felt or seen any-
more — if only they had come
with smiles to lighten the long
and lonely days of these patients.
A card, a letter, a parcel, such
little things in everyday lives,
the lives of the healthy and happy
people, but such wonderful joys
to these old soldiers. Some of
these boys have been there since
World War 1, others since World
War 2, but most of them will finish
their days there.
Miss Lizmore told the ladies
that when their birthday parcels
arrive and she takes them to the
— Continued from page 4
of music. They ask you questions
like, "What instrument did Eli
Schwartzkopf play in the Bran-
denburg Symphony Orchestra on
April eleventh, 1801, whenNapo-
leon Bonaparte was staying in the
city overnight, with his second
wife, on the way to the battle of
Austerlitz?"
But this isn't the worst of it.
A chap can stand a couple of
weeks of helping his wife memo-
rize such great universal truths,
and weather it.
What really gets him on his
knees is putting up with the old
lady as the exams draw near.
Kids go through examinations
with the aplomb of ducks taking
a bath. But middle-aged ladies
don't especially when they haven't
written an exam in years.
About three weeks before the
exam, they begin to neglect
family, house and themselves. A
week later, they become nervous.
In the final week, they have moved
from high C to hysteria. On the
day of the exam, it takes tears,
tea, tranquilizers, and some-
times a good shot of brandy, be-
fore they can be pushed into the
examination hall, where they sit
twitching like old fighter pilots
until the papers are given out.
I don't know the details, but I
suspect George went through
something like the above, and I
echo his sentiments, loud and
clear. If I ever get married again,
I want a girl who thinks a sweet
potato is about the finest musi-
cal instrument that ever hit the
market.
Do you know what a bane is?
Well, that's what music has been
in my life, for the past decade.
Oh, I know. Every family has

patients they look at them and
say "This can't be for me,! I
don't know anyone in Exeter" —
she says "But, see, it has your
name on it!" Often as she is
leaving the room she will look
back and they still sit there hold-
ing the parcel close. Miss Liz-
more related many other true-
life stories during her talk. Some
humorous but so many more that
were heartbreaking and gave food
for thought. One thought above all
"We will remember them".
Miss Lizmore was thanked by
Mrs. Verna Wurm, who presen-
ted her with a small personal
gift, after which President Mrs,
Wragg gave her a cheque for
- $200 to be used for something that
would bring happiness to the Vets.
During the business session of
the meeting, three new members
were initiated into the Auxiliary,

coming in the following weeks.
Mrs. Stanley Frayne also repor-
ted on several bowling tourna-

health, poverty, divorce, insan-

our family, its music.
People think I am carried away
by emotion when I start to sob
at a symphony concert. They're
right. But it's not the beauty of
the music that makes me break
down. It's the trouble it has
caused, and the money it has cost
in the last 10 years.
I used to love music, in a simple
joyous, uncomplicated way. I used
to whistle while I worked and
walked. Everything from Green-
sleeves, through E in Kleine
Nachtmusik to Porgy and Bess.
By ear. I liked Stardust and
Stravinsky and I'll Be Down to
Get You in a Taxi, Honey.
Then the kids started taking
piano lessons. And I started try-
ing to look intelligent when people
talked about sonatinas and con-
certos and scherzos and dyna-
mics and all that (you should
pardon the expression) jazz.
We fight about the left hand
being too loud. We scream at each
other about the kids not practis-
ing. We go into tantrums about
recitals and festivals.
Ten years and more than
$10,000 later, nobody in my
family can play the national
anthem without three weeks of
preparation. The record player
rocks to The Beatles and Bob
Dylan. We have to snatch the
harmonica and guitar away from
the kids. I would like to meet
Johann Sebastian Bach on a dark
night and strangle him. With a
Beethoven sonat a. G- string
