Following a delicious picnic supper the guests of honour were presented with gifts. Robert Raeburn made the presentation. During the evening musical numbers were supplied by Jack Simmons playing the banjo, Betty Beer playing the guitar and banjo and Ross Veal ac- companying on the mouth organ. News from Queensway was conducted by Rev. Glen Wright with Louise Mitchell at the piano. Mr, Wilbert Dilling visited his wife Anna, Joan Bettridge and Violet Bishop visited Irene Kalbfleisch. Mr. & Mrs. Sid Pullman, London visited Bernice Lavery. Emilie Schroeder sits in a wheel-chair most of the time now, because the blackouts she sometimes has might cause a dangerous fall. But she propels the chair herself. Though the legs are resting, the hands and mind of this 95- year-old are busy. She braids multi-coloured rugs and reminisces with gentle humour about days gone by. Did she do crafts like this at home in the old days? Mrs. Schroeder's blue eyes dance un- der the cap of cropped white hair. "Didn't have time!" She may be laughing at the reporter. On August 9 she celebrated her ninety-fifth birthday. She could have gone out for dinner with relatives, but chose instead to take part in a group birthday par- ty, along with eight other residents at Zurich's Blue Water Rest Home. She has been there for the past five years. Sne has one son Edward, R.R. 2, Hensall, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Mr. & Mrs. Edward Schroeder and family celebrated her bir- thday with her. Emilie is an independent kind of person. Maybe the fact that she grew up with six brothers had something to do with it, Emilie was eldest, an advantage she thought, when dealing with brothers. The boys are gone now. A sister, Susan Wackerow, lives with a daughter in Rochester, New York. She was Emilie Bender, before marrying Solomon Schroeder, The Benders, a German family, lived first on the Babylon Line, "the second farm south", she said. "Later Dad sold and moved to the Goshen," She and her brothers and sister used to walk to school in town. At home, she helped her mother in the house. They churned their own butter and made their own cheese. "Some farmers knocked their cows on the head when the creameries took over", she said, It was more economical to eat them than to compete. "It'll get so farmers have nothing to say any more." She and Solomon bought the former Weido farm on the east side at the corner of highway 84' and the Parr We. Tliere was no hydro till after he died in 1941. Zurich does not seem to have changed much over the years, with one exception "There are a lot of houses on the south side now," What about entertainment? Churches combine Anglicans and Presbyterians joined in worship at Hensall United Church on Sunday; when Rev. Don Beck conducted the service, preaching on "Miracles". All miracles begin from a negative situation and teach participation. Mrs. John Turkheim was at the organ with Mr, John Blackwell at the piano. Three duets were played Handel's "Largo", "Adagio Cantabile" by Beethoven, and "Pomp and Circumstance" by Edgar Elgar. Did she sing? "No, I was never a singer." What about dancing? "In my younger days, yes." Polkas? Her eyes sparkle. She smiles and nods. There a lot of good memories stored inside that head.
