Queenswa Hello again! This cold and snowy January weather is a good reason to stay indoors and enjoy a good book. We at Queensway have been enjoying several short stories and readings over the past few weeks. It's nice to get together, relax and listen to a good story. Many of our residents have been visiting our Book Nook in the Ac- tivity Room for reading material to enjoy on their own. On Wednesday a group of our male residents tried their luck in a crokinole tournament. Lloyd McDougall and Ray Potter were the champs. Also on Wednesday several of us gathered for a sing -song. Everyone had a good time singing all the old songs. • y activities Our movie for this week was a Charlie Chaplin silent film entitled "Triple Trouble". We had an ex- cellent turn -out of residents for our film. Chaplin has lots of loyal fans here at Queensway. On Saturday a group of "crafty" residents took part in making plaques in the Activity Room. We had lots of fun and the plaques turned out lovely. All the residents and staff of our home wish welcome Mr. Ray Francis of the Rest Home back from his short stay in South Huron Hospital. That's all our news for this week.

Audrey thanked the girls for the Christmas. gift. Audrey is our capable leader. She read from the book "More Leaves from Lantern Lane" and a piece en- titled "New Year's Resolutions". If we would make and keep the resolu- tions suggested in the reading we would be much better people. Another poem "A Prayer for the New Year" followed. Belva Fuss accompanied at the piano. Kay Elder took the study about our native people, the Canadian Indians. She showed a film which showed the history of the ministry of the gospel as well as their native beliefs and teachings, which they are trying to keep alike, to combine the old and the new.
