The holiday, that we waited twelve months for, is now only a memory. The celebration for which we spent many weeks and many dollars in preparation has ended. With the unwrapping of the Christmas gifts, the suspense vanished. Our New Year's Resolutions are resolved, and some of them are already broken. New Year's Eve with all its cheer is gone; the party's over, What's left? Many of us are busily exchanging unsatisfactory Christmas presents — mitts that are too large, socks that are too small, ties that clash with suits, cracked bowls, blankets with flaws in the wool and records that the recipient already owned. Some of us still suffer from upset stomachs, headaches and weary bones; most of us are )lagued by a heavy feeling, which results from the addition of a few pounds. The majority of us experience a mental let-down, which is as predictable as the January frost. We have passed the date that many of us consider the highlight of our year. The hustle and bustle, the anticipation, ex- citement and cheer of the Chrigtmas and New Year's season is over. Now it's time to settle .down to the old grind. What remains for us to look forward to? We face the gloomy prospect of gray days and long nights, of snow and ice and howling wind. For a jaunt to the corner store, we'll require an extra half-hour to don our sweaters, jackets, boots, scarves and gloves. We'll battle with ice on the windshields of our cars, and we'll nurse frostbitten fingers as a result. We'll often hear the spinnipg of tires, and we'll sometimes resort to the desperate plea, "Will somebody please give me a push?" I Grand Bend NURSERY SCHOOL -i-Now Open Monday to Friday A.M. & P.M. Classes For further information PHONE 238-8752 We'll tackle slippery sidewalks and trod through slush that is deeper than we thought. Then Well carry a heavy weight of snow in our boots and feel an uncomfortable dampness around the bottoms of our pantlegs. We'll suffer from sniffles, sneezes, coughs, sore throats and tender, red noses. During .the next few weeks, these are the conditions we can expect. To tolerate these dismal thoughts, we must cling to op- timism. If we search deeply enough, we can find positive points in almost every situation. For example, with the con- clusion of the American football season, Canadian wives are reunited with their husbands, who have been glued to the TV sets. Of course, the reunion may be interrupted on Saturday and Wednesday nights when the hockey games are televised. Winter sports now abound, and few people begrudge the snowmobilers, skiers, tobogganists, curlers and ice skaters their fun. Besides, the shortest day of the year has passed; each new day retains its light a few seconds longer and takes us one step closer to spring. Ground Hog Day is less than three weeks away; Valentine's Day arrives in only thirty-six days, and St. Patrick's Day in sixty-seven; Easter occurs in less than three months; and in just two-and-one-half months, spring officially begins. Winter will soon be over — we hope. Instead of mourning the good times that have passed, we should concentrate on the good times that await us. The cheerful tolerance of our winter hardships combined with the anticipation of our winter fun and of spring's eventual return helps.,us` to overcome the January let-down. Joyce (Hayter) McBeth Nursing careers seem to run in one local family. Four first cousins, all from families Of special interest to the residents of Strathroy is the bell from the Corvette H.M.C,S. Strathroy on display, just inside the entrance at the Museum, It Was presented to the community on May 13, 1946 by four seamen and an officer Lieut, D. M. Jackson of the H.M.C.S. Prevost on behalf Of the Minister of National Defence, At the request of Miss Jean Thomson it was placed in the library and then later transferred to the Museum, The Corvette was launched on August 30, 1944 at Midland, Ontario-She was commissioned on November 20, 1944 and paid off on the 12th day of July 1945. The "Strathroy" was an escort vessel that sailed between Halifax and the West Indies during World War II. It was in service only one year and during that time the sailors aboard were supplied with various comforts such as ,chocolate bars and cigarettes by the people of Strathroy, After the war, the vessel was sold to the Chilean Navy. A unique incident in the story of the Corvette was the fact that when the "Strathroy" entered the harbour at Santiago for the first time, Norman Chambers, husband of a former Strathroy girl, Miss Jean Thompson, was present at the pier. In charge of the vessel at the time was Cap- tain. David M. Jackson, a nephew of Mrs. A. Leigh and Mrs. W. Hambly of Strathroy. Although no one from the town served on board the vessel, several tried to secure positions on it. The base on which the' Bell rests was made at the Middlesex Furniture Company Limited and presented to the town by Gordon Mihell who was then in charge of the firm, all four received their registered nurses training at different hospitals. The girls are Joyce (Hayter) McBeth, Gwen (McLean) Devereaux, Anne (Hayter) Lavis and Darlene Hayter. The former Joyce Hayter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Hayter, RR 1 Varna, graduated from Woodstock General Hospital in 1968. Now a resident in London, she has worked as a nurse in Walkerton, Toronto and Brantford, Gwen Devereaux, the former Gwen McLean, is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ken McLean of Hensall. She graduated from the St. Clair School of Nursing in Sarnia in 1972 and prior to taking up residence in Seaforth she nursed at the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital. Recently she has been on staff of the Medical clinic in Seaforth. Anne Lavis, the most recent bride of the four cousins and the former Anne Hayter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmore Hayter, RR 1 Varna, graduated from Victoria Hospital School of Nursing in 1974. She is presently on the staff of the South Waterloo Memorial Hospital. Mr, and Mrs. Lavis live in Galt, Darlene Hayter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Mervin Hayter, RR 1 Varna, graduated this year from St. Joseph's School of Nursing in Guelph. She is pr- sently on the staff of the West Middlesex Memorial Hospital in Strathroy. All four girls are grandchildren of Mrs. Minnie Hayter who is residing at Huronview.
