The Blyth Swinging Seniors met
in the town hall for a delicious pot
luck dinner, after which president
Isabel Craig welcomed everyone
and opened the meeting with “O
Canada”. Happy Birthday was sung
to Mary Walden, Anne McGinnes
and guest Donna Taylor. Anniver
sary wishes went to Jim and Janet
Lawrie. A minute of silence was
observed in memory of Bert Fear,
who was a former member and
treasurer of the group. Lloyd
Walden and Vera Badley led a
lively sing-song with Phyllis Boak
at the piano.
Mary Walden introduced the
speaker, Mr. Dan Taylor and his
wife Donna who have recently
opened a pharmacy in Blyth. He
said he fell in love with Huron
County as a child and he and his
wife are happy to be living in this
area now. The Taylors are field
naturalists so enjoy the outdoors.
They have also taken some
interesting trips and will share
these at a later date.. Mr. Taylor
answered many questions from the
audience and explained the
dispensing fees. This was enjoyed
by all and Mrs. Walden then
thanked the speaker.
The business meeting continued
and the minutes were read by the
secretary Feme McDowell and
adopted as read. The card report
was given by Lenora Davidson.
Bill Craig gave the treasurer's
report in the absence of Nora Kelly.
A letter was read from Nora
tendering her resignation due to ill
health. It was moved by Effie
McCall and seconded by Feme
Howatt that Graeme McDowell
take over this position. All were in
favour. Alvin Snell gave a report
from the Hall Board. Isabel Craig
had attended a meeting for the
games committee and said she
hoped all clubs will participate next
June.
The next meeting will be the
Christmas banquet. It will be a sit
down meal at noon on Nov. 28 and
the Legion ladies will be catering.
The cost is $8.50 plus tax.
Isabel read an invitation from the
Belgrave Seniors inviting Blyth to
a dessert euchre and lost heir party
on Nov. 20.
Mary Walden brought in a video
from the library called “The Books
Drive On”, showing the travelling
library in the early days in Huron
County. Everyone found it quite
interesting and recognized many
names, places and memories of
some of the old ways of farming,
especially the haying.

‘Goodies’
at Carol’s
In the North Huron Education
book distributed recently there was
a story concerning a business called
"Goodies by Two Shoes".
It was brought to our attention,
and we feel it's only fair our readers
be made aware, that the products
retail locally at Carol's Candies and
Collectibles as well as Remember
When. Both businesses are in
Blyth.
