Holyrood Happenings
BY LYNNE NICOLSON
While sitting here one
evening writing my column, I
did not expect to be inter-
rupted in the middle of a
sentence by total darkness. I
then within minutes was
listening to the familiar ring
of the telephone as Emily
found out if Myrtle's hydro
was out too (these names are
not pertaining to anyone in
particular). As everyone
creeps close to the one
candle that mother found in
the top drawer in the kitchen
someone brings up the
subject of previous black-
outs. .Grandfather boasts,
"This is nothing compared to
'32'. The blackout lasted for
three days in a row". Oh well
I'm sure Holyrood will not
suffer one bit except from a
few bruises after bumping
into tables and chairs in the
dark.
To begin, I would first like
to correct a mistake I made
last week. Mr. L. Hanna's
friends were from Alberta
not Manitoba and they
stayed until Sunday, July 30.
Sorry about that, Lloyd.
People have been leaving
and people returning to
Holyrood. Mr. and Mrs. F.
Page had a safe departure
when they left on their trip to
England. Their. daughter,
Catherine, . and her son,
Michael, will be staying with
Rosita and Andrew until Mr.
and Mrs. Page return.
Returning home this week
was Mrs. E. Hanna and her
daughter, Lois. They have
been on a trip out West and
were accompanied by Mrs.
Hanna's sister, Mrs. D.
Willits. They arrived home in
the wee small hours of the
night on ,Saturday, July 29.
They said that they enjoyed
themselves very much. Mrs.
Willits will stay with the
Hannas until Monday the
31st when she will return to
her home in _Mount Albert.
The Holyrood Women's
Institute solda lunch plate at
the Lucknow Craft Festival
again this year. As usual it
was very scrumptious but it
is too bad that they could not
be given more pleasant
surroundings in which to
serve it. Congratulationson
what I'm sure was a great
success and also a well
deserved thank you.
