In 1973, Mrs. Mason, along with other Newfoundland Institute mem- bers, had visited Riverview Institute while touring Middlesex County, and had been billeted with Mrs. H. Morton, Ailsa Craig. One of the interesting aspects of Port Union Mrs. McCallum noted was the fact that the fishing community is located on rocky terrain, and any residents who desire even the smallest flower or vegetable' garden, must have the earth trucked in for it. The July 5 meeting was held at the new Activity Centre of the Craigwiel Gardens Complex. The meeting was opened by President, Mrs. A Craven, with the Institute Ode and the Mary Stewart Collect being repeated. A welcome was extended to a number of guests from Craigholme Nursing Home and the Senior Citizens Apartments. Mrs. 0. Currie introduced Nelson Scheifele, Administrator of Craigholme Nursing Home who explained that although the Activity Centre was built by Craigwiel Gardens Corporation, it is now to be operated by a ; Managment Board. Opportunity was given to ask questions and to tour the centre. Noteworthy suggestions were presented when the roll call was taken by having members respond to the question "What I would do if I were a member of the Village Council", These suggestions will be passed on to the Council for their study, in- cluding the recommendation that more information be made public about their meetings. ,Mrs, John Walker . pracided rod for thought for those present with the motto, "Friends are like beautiful flowers". Mrs. A Armstrong gave a talk on Resolutions and a reading "What Is A Housewife". Mrs. H. Morton gave a humourous reading, "There's nothing the matter with me - I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in".
