What a treat! I can curl up in a chair for hours studying each page. I become oblivious to the snow outside. My mind wanders far into the future. I mentally arrange patio furniture and watch kids playing on a back yard swing. The pic- tures of the swimsuits take me to warm beaches, where sand castles are built. The bikes trail me down country roads shaded by maples, and the motorboats transport me onto a calm lake. The tents and the sleeping bags bring the sound of crickets to my ears. Thus the daydream book provides me with a form of escapism from the rigours of winter, For as long as I can remember, I've anticipated the arrival of a new catalogue. It filled the same roles in our house as it did in most other homes. When I was young, it made an excellent picture book. Later, with a little imagination and a pair of scissors, I turned the figures of the boys and girls into paper dolls. Many of my school assignments featured pictures from the catalogue. The old books soon became riddled with holes. Years ago, any old catalogue that remained intact wound up in the outhouse. Although its pages were out-of-date, they still helped to while away the hours. Sometimes a few pages were tacked on the walls to cover cracks and to brighten the decor. Of course, that was before my Foster Vernon from the Bureau of Senior Citizens of the ministry of community and social services was the guest speaker at the Exetyr Senior Citizens meeting, January 6,...at the Legion Hall. Ha spoke on his work with the government and senior citzens groups and stated there are over 800,000 living in Ontario over the age of 65. Locally, he posed the questions: "How many people are there? Where are they and who are they'? And what do they want to do in their retirement years? Many solutions and suggestions were offered for the acquiring of facilities to add to the pleasures of retirement years. Charles Hoffman opened the meeting by singing 0 Canada and a moment of silence was ob- served in remembrance of a valued member and pianist, Mrs. Frank King. The program for which Mrs. Gordon Wilson was responsible was chaired by Rev. John Beaton of Centralia. It consisted of a piano instrumental by Ruth Essery; several numbers on piano and guitar by Penny and Harvey Smith, and a very Rebekahs will conduct degree Mrs. Jean Hodgert N.G., assisted by Mrs. Olive Hicks V .G. presided at Rebekah Lodge, January 7, when members held their secret pal party.

Mrs. Jean Harncck informed the lodge that she and Assembly President would be attending the lodge, March 3, when she wishes them to put on a degree for her, Mrs. Hicks gave the visiting report stating that Jean Johns P.N.G. was in Victoria Hospital.

In the pioneer days, the mail- order catalogue was one of the most important books in the home. Even if the family couldn't afford anything, it was nice to look at, The entire household gathered around the kitchen table admiring each page. They saved their money until they could buy one or two of the things they really needed. Then they filled out their order form and mailed it away. In a few weeks, they drove to the express office to pick up their freight. The catalogue has changed since then. Some of the old companies retired, and new ones replaced them; others just assumed different names. Some catalogues now offer an even wider selection from which to choose, while others specialize in a certain line of products, The delivery has been quickened. The convenience has also in- creased because we shop in the comfort of our home and order by phone. We are notified when the shipment arrives. Thus our only exertion occurs when we drive to the order office to pick up and pay for our purchase. Even this inconvenience is by- passed in most cities, where delivery trucks cart the parcels to the door of the buyer's house. If the item is unsuitable, another phone call brings back the deliveryman to return the package. Although the catalogue has changed over the years and has performed some unrelated services, its main purpose remains the same. It still tempts we perusers to buy some of the merchandise shown, and in the process, it fills our minds with daydreams. humorous skit called "The Baltons" put on by several members of Centralia Sunday School. Cecil Skinner voiced the ap- preciation of the audience of this entertaining program. The evening unit of Exeter UCW served the lunch. Next meeting will be Tuesday, February 10. (Please note change of date Counsellor talks to Alpha Pi girls "dive La Difference" was the topic of the January meeting of Alpha Pi chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, January 6. Elmore Boomer, counsellor for Information South Huron, was the guest speaker. He presented interesting views concerning the differences between men and women and said he felt that women's stance in life can be determined by whether they stress the similarities or the differences. The program was co-ordinated by Maryann Topp and Claudette Taylor. President Dorothy Balsdon conducted the business. Secret sisters were thanked for their kindnesses shown during the past year. The hostess was Marion McCarter. Gwyn's Cookery Corner Double up baking Bake for today and a future day during a busy time and cut the overall preparation time almost in half.

Stir warm water and sugar By MRS, IDA DINNEY Many years ago I had an ex- perience I like to recall, thank- fully. I was employed in a small village for two years. It was a lovable place with a school, a general store, a blacksmith shop, wild a cheese factory. Along behind these business places, and fairly close, was a cedar swamp, which extended much farther than the village — a • ••••• • 01444 . ....... . Mrs. Georgina Webster, Mr. & Mrs. Wm.

There were also two churches. The people in the village and on farms around were sociable. All in all, it was a nice place to live. One evening in Spring the outdoors was so alluring with its balmy air, I went outside, and sat on, the doorstep of my boarding- house, until it was almost dark. It was fascinating — breathing the unpolluted air, in which there was an aroma of cedar wafting over from the swamp; also to see and feel nightfall gradually and noiselessly taking over, All was still and quiet, a perfect setting for an unpredicted bird call, "Whip-poor-will!" (Only once, but loud and clear) from the cedar swamp. What a thrilling and wonderful im- pression for me, because I had never before heard that bird-call — nor have I since. If you have never heard a whip- poor-will's call, I hope you will some time, Editor's note: This is the first, of which we hope there Will be many, of a series of memories by our senior citizens.
