The closing of, the Home to visitors to try and eliminate
the flu bug has made some changes in the activity programs.
Although the restriction creates some hardships, it' has the
advantage of bringing out some of the hidden talents of both
residents and staff. Alice Roorda provided piano accom-
paniment for the Huronview regulars at Monday afternoon's
get-together and, following the sing-song period, everyone
joined in singing Happy Birthday to William McIntosh,
who was celebrating his 91st birthday.
The Hymn Sing got underway at 2;30, as a result of the
cancellation of the Bible Study, conducted each week by Mrs.
Prouty of Exeter on Tuesday afternoon. Miss Pearl Gidley
played the piano for the hymns, followed by an enjoyable half-
hour of organ melodies with Jack Roorda at the console.
Nine tables were played at the games on Wednesday
afternoon, with Mickie Cummings getting the prize for the
highest number of points in the euchre.
Sixty residents took part in Friday's bingo with twenty
games played and thirty winners.
It is hoped that the flu situation improves soon, as
everyone is missing the visitors and volunteers.
