Huronview residents
take spring drive
Nine residents accepted the invitation to attend the dress
rehearsal of the program "Vacation Canada" at the Victoria
Public School, Goderich, on Monday afternoon. This was a
musical program and was greatly appreciated by the residents.
The annual spring drive, which is sponsored by the Exeter
United Church, took place on Monday' evening. Forty members
of the congregation provided cars but,' due to the inclement
weather, the interest at the Home was disappointing. The
residents who took advantage of the drive enjoyed it very much
and we hope that another year the weatherman will be more
co-operative.
MollyCox, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner provided the Old
Tyme music for Tuesday's program. The Goderich Township
Women's Institute Volunteers assisted with the activities. Mrs.
Henderson accompanied at the piano for a sing-a-long led by
Molly Cox.
The Ethel and Molesworth Women's Institutes were hosts for
the May Birthday Party on Wednesday afternoon. 'Mrs. Gary.
Earl was Emcee for the program which included violin selections
by Norman Beirnes accompanied by Cecil Bateman, piano solos
by Grace Kemp and Marguerite Beirnes, readings by Mrs. Earl
and a sing-a-long. On behalf of the residents, one of 'the
celebrants, Miss Jackson, thanked all those who had helped with
the party. Lunch was served by the ladies.
