The lull of winter continues. Time
to contemplate the world around and
if in the right company all the
problems of the world can be made
better.
Have you ever noticed that the less
a person knows about something the
more adamant they are about the
solution.
And that’s a good thing. If only the
experts got to converse about the
problems of the world, conversation
as we know it would go right down
the tubes.
So here’s to winter and the
enjoyment of solving the problems
of the world.
The Red Hat Ladies of Wingham
and Brussels said goodbye to one of
their own last week. Ruth Sewers’
funeral and goodbye was attended
by the members in full Red Hat style
and attitude. Enjoy the next life as
much as you did this one
Ruth.
The rain is falling as I'm trying to
write this and it doesn’t feel much
like February and it sure doesn't
look like a winter day.
Zone play to District play in Blyth
on Saturday included John Harrison,
Lisa Glanville, Julie Harrison,
Sandra Josling, Dale Sauve, Norm
Dobson, Lloyd Glanville and Helen

included Hilda Holmes and Elaine

earning second prize with 75 points

Sellers reaching 73 points and third
prize.
Lone hand prizes were given to
Lois Chamney and Bill Siemon.
Wishing for better cards were Doris
McCall and Jean Bewley who won
the low prize.
Euchre is every tw'o weeks.
The Country Versatiles played to a
crowd of more than 80 single-dance
enthusiasts.
Comrades will have received their
newsletter with the silent auction
donation sheet included. Please
return the sheets by the due date.
Don’t forget to look at all the
committees that need help and sign
up to lend support to the Branch.
But the number of folks about
sneezing and coughing indicates
winter. Just a friendly reminder to
keep to your contagious self private
and keep your germs for your own
collection.
Coughing and sneezing in public
places is a very poor practice and a
good way to share your cold with
everyone in breathing range. So be
nice to the world and keep your cold
at home.
Prevention is still the easiest
way to handle a cold - eat right,
get your rest and sleep and
wash your hands lots and lots and
lots.
Take care.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
