No more upkeep
worries for Seniors
(By Evelyn Kennedy)
The new Senior Citizens. Hous-
ing, which will be officially
opened on Wednesday, March
24, has obviously provided a
satisfactory answer to problems
of most of the Senior Citizens of
this community who have already
taken up residence there.
Eleven units are already occup-
ied and at least five more have
been applied for but the people
have not yet moved in.
All, but one couple, who have
been contacted are well content in
their new place of residence and
in interviewing them we could not
elicit a single complaint. They all
expressed satisfaction with the
way things have been managed.
Here are the comments of those
talked with about their new home.
Mrs. Mary Snell said she like it
very much and that things could
not be better. It is warm and
...omfortable and she had no
:omplaints whatever.
Mrs. Florence Russell also said
she had no complaints. Anything
•.he asked for had been provided.
it was nice and warm. It was a
•elief not to have to worry about
snow or fuel, she said. She was
happy and content.
Miss Beth Hoover likes it quite
well. Though the place is small,
,he is not in good health and has
Pl she wants to do.
Mrs. Daisy McLean, when
asked how she likes her accomod-
ltion said "really lovely, grand, I
vould not move out for anything.
t is comfortable •and bright. I
really like it and could not have
anything better. I would not trade
it for all the new houses in town.
Everyone who visits me thinks it
is lovely."
Mrs. Hudson told us she is
very, very happy where she is and
will stay there' until the book is
closed". She also said she wanted
to include a warm word of
appreciation to those who take
care of the place for their work.
They are very nice and do a good
job. She said she did not have
anything to complain about.
Alfred Knight, the lone bache-
lor of the place, said he has found
it satifactory. His apartment is
comfortable and very nice. He
appreciates the quietness and has
no cause for complaints. There
were some problems in the winter
but he anticipates that it will be
quite pleasant in the summer_ He
appreciates that things are well
looked after.
Mrs. Tom Strachen has found
their ' apartment nice , for one
person but too small for her and
her husband. There had been
trouble in the winter with frozen
pipes and cold. Their own house
has not been sold and they intend
moving back to their own home in
the near future.
How gratifying that some of our
Senior Citizens are settled in and
content, with no further worries
about the upkeep of a house and
lot. If they have been pleased
with their surroundings in the
winter months how much more
pleasant it will be for them in the
summer.

it ain't the bricks nor the mortar
nor funds that they can pay
but the close co-operation
that makes them win the day
it ain't the individual
nor the people as a whole
but the everlasting team work
of every bloornin' soul.
congratulations to the town
of brussels on the opening
of the new senior citizens.
