102
Great Aunt Letitia kept talking
about Mrs. Doctor Merrick which
amused and annoyed me. I was 15
years old and thought I was wiser
than anyone.
“Why,” I asked, ‘‘do you say Mrs.
Doctor” you don't say Mrs. Lawyer
or even Mrs. Reverend?”
“It is a term of respect,” replied
my aunt, “which someday you will
understand. This discussion is over.”
Well, it’s nearly 70 years later and
I do understand because I have had
the great pleasure of meeting Mrs.
Doctor Stephens. Glenna will be 102
on Oct. 22 of this month. She is tall,
slim and regal looking: her white
hair always looks freshly coiffured,
her wardrobe is extensive and she
has - well the only word is “style”.
Aunt Letitia would probably say
“she is to the manor born”.
One day Glenna approached me
outside the dining room looking
worried “Do you think it would be
all right to go to lunch without a
hat'?”
“It will be quite acceptable,” I
assured her. “Today they’re not even
wearing gloves.”
Glenna was still fretful, “I forgot
my purse.” told her it had all been
taken care of and she smiled her
beautiful smile and said “they’re so
thoughtful”.
I always think of Glenna in a long
crimson velvet outfit to which she
has added two or three - on a cold
day four - shawls and stoles. I say,
“good morning” and she nods and
replies “it seems very pleasant; 1
may go out later.” The greetings
having been exchanged we sit down
to breakfast - minus hat or gloves,
which she does not need. She is Mrs.
Doctor Stephens!

Huronlea Auxiliary hosts
District Three meeting
The Huronlea Nursing Hdme
Auxiliary was proud to host the
District Three Auxiliary meeting on
Sept. 27 with over 50 people in
attendance. President Donna Klopp
opened the meeting. Greetings were
made by Audrey Cardiff, Mary Scott
and Norma Rudy. Cathrine Campbell
did the invocation.
Leona Armstrong introduced the
guest speaker, Michele Hanson from
the women’s shelter in Huron.
Mrs. Hanson’s motto is “Stop
Abuse Now”. There are a number of
reasons why women leave their
homes or community for safety and
stay at the shelter, she said. If you
know of someone who needs help,
listen to what they are saying. Help
by giving the phone number of a
shelter in the county, which may
connect people to shelters that may
be closer to where they live.
The Huron County Women’s
Shelter has seven bedrooms which
can accommodate a few families at
one time. During their stay they can
get counselling to help them get on
track. Food is provided through the
government and community dona
tions. When families are ready to
leave, they are supplied with a food
basket and clothing if needed.
Joan Golden thanked her for help
ing to enlighten the public on the
shelter program.
The Seaforth Harmony Kings
entertained the group with songs of
the past.
Lunch was supplied by the
Huronlea Auxiliary.
Mary Scott read the minutes of the
last District meeting, which was held
at the Ritz Lutheran Villa in
Mitchell. She gave the treasurer’s
report and correspondence.
Roll call was answered on how
each auxiliary tries to improve the
quality of life for the residents,
whether it was visiting residents,
craft sales, a cart selling tuck shop
items, celebrating birthdays,
Mother’s Day tea, strawberry socials
and providing entertainment.
Jim Armstrong conducted the elec
tion of officers for the year 2000 -
2001. President is Donna Klopp; first
vice president, Audrey Cardiff and
secretary, Jim Armstrong.
The Huronlea Auxiliary draw was
made with the winners being: quilt,
Ralph Treibner; Tupperware gift
package, Mary Lowe; cookbook,
Glenna Stephens.
A 50/25/25 draw was done to help
raise money, along with a number of

Three meeting will be Wednesday,
