Records show we've enjoyed much less sunshine and endured more rain, this month, than normal. Days that are dark and dreary tend to make us depressed, and more especially, perhaps. if we're confin- ed to the house. My spirits, however, have been im- measurably lifted the past two days by a couple of ladies, Betty and Vera, both ot whom are shut-ins. and both of whom know the secret of beating the blues. Yesterday. i visited Betty at Huron - view 1 Huron County's Home for the aged) and found her in her usual magnanimous mood, despite the weather. Betty's life reads like a book, much of it sad. some of it hor- rendous, yet she's come through with clear eyes. a grateful heart, a wonder- ful sense of humour, and an indepen- dent spirit. We mel, by accident, about five years ago, and almost im- mediately recognized kindred souls. Since then. .I've visited her as often as I can, not because she has no family in the area, but because it makes me feel good. and because she teaches - me many things. When I see how gallantly she copes with living in the confines of an in- stitution. it makes me want to stretch my own life. Though often not feeling up to snuff (she's had some small strokes and is borderline diabetic ), usually find her occupied with some project. One is snipping postage stamps off old envelopes, and she has Packaged over 60.000 stamps for the Bible Society. The envelopes she cuts up and staples together to make hun- dreds of scratch pads for the offices at lfuronview. Another time, I might find her sitting in a pile of used linen, checking and sorting it for the staff. i never find her bored. e 's interested in everybody Betty's and everything, 11. � so it's t ... much ander . countryside, the lovely old farm houses ... and when I looked at the soggy scene through her eyes, it real- ly was beautiful!' We parked on Main Street and I bought us take-out coffee in foam cups and a couple of sugar and cinnamon It Seems to me... by Gwyn Whilsmith that, lately, she's been asked to pass on advice to the Council on Aging in Toronto. iter big heart enfolds other residents, staff and visitors alike, and although her funds»are meagre she takes delight in buying the treats at the coffee bar. She also makes me stop to find joy in the simple things ... like the two. long green leaves of her last year's amaryllis bulb that have gone com- pletely haywire and which, supported by an old fly swatter, climb crazily all over her window. "Aren't they marvellous?" she laughs. "How about going for a drive," I asked yesterday. She was game, so I backed the car up close to the door, and after getting her settled we took off for Seaforth driving on the back roads. Along the way, she pointed out the beauty around us ... the swollen creek rushing in its banks. an ancient country bridge, the gently rolling Precious .Blood PTA hear two speakers The first general meeting of Precious Blood School PTA took place Ocloher 22 in the new school library.

With Bet- ty, it was more fun than a fancy lunch at a stylish tea room. When i dropped her back at Huron - view, she hugged me, "i've had a wonderful. wonderful time, and oh, how i love you." She blew kisses as I drove away. The sky was still heavy, but my heart was light! This morning, it was pouring as hard as ever. "I'll phone Vera," 1 thought, "and see how she's making out." I first made Vera's acquain- tance when she called, a few years ago, to tell me she appreciated one of my columns. t You'd be surprised how few people take time to do that. I The phone rang about ten times because the arthritis, that virtually makes Vera a prisoner in her home, keeps her trom making any last moves to the telelphone. "What are you doing today," I in- quired. "Knitting," was her cheerful response, and then she went on to tell me she's already finished a dozen pairs for the Children's Aid Christmas Bureau. Vera, like. Betty, has many pro- jects. If it isn't knitting, it's writing poety, or filling her many scrapbooks with everything that interests her. She only rarely admits to being 'down', and never have I heard her say an unkind word about anyone. So, it seems to me, I'm lucky to have friends like her and Betty, who teach me how to keep cheerful and useful even when the skies are dark and the rain keeps coming down.
