AILSA CRAIG - Have you ever
heard two adult siblings each tell
their version of a childhood event?
Because each has remembered differ-
ent detaiis and perhaps seen it from
their own view point, it comes out
, sounding like two differing ac-
counts. They call it "Selective
Memory".

enjoy sharing our memories.
The first day of school was just
the right occasion to remember our
own first experiences in the hal-
lowed halls of learning. One little
gal was so anxious for that first day
to arrive, she was allowed to start a
year earlier with the understanding
that she wouldn't be given any of
the teacher's time or or attention.
However she maintains a lot can be
learned just by listening and observ-
ing. She was just happy --to be
there. She must haye enjoyed it for
she went on to be a teacher herself.
Another one remembered taking
literally the off -hand remark that
'That teacher has eyes in the back of
her head". The first few weeks of
her schooling were spent watching
for the movement of the teacher's
hair that might reveal that extra set
of eyes!
The beginning of school term
seemed to be an appropriate time
for a Spelling Bee too. Our co-
ordinator found it difficult to stump
our good spellers. In the end, four
shared the "Royal Speller" crown.
"Forty Questions" provided hilari-
ty for a few days. Especially when
an unnamed senior pulled a fast one
en our co-ordinator with a brother
named Chester! We also learned
such things as one smart little girl
when told the stork delivered.a new
baby, came back with the ques-
tit n"So where did the stork get the
baby?" A great -grandma of yester-
year advised her children they could
have anything they wanted as long
as they wanted the right things! Be-
sides' that we fond out favourite
forms of parental punishment,
methods of courtship, family crafts
and trades, etc. Quite a bit to learn
and laugh about from just one
game!
We have quite an array of silk
scarves and are now making the
large square ones that are so popular
this year. The beautiful bonus to
the art is the simplicity of it. Any-
one can do it! Come and see!
Quite a few from the community
have utilized Mr. Tiede's hearing
clinic the first Monday of each
month. His clients arc welcome to
come to the Center for the day. Re-
gardless of their decision about
staying, the coffee pot is always
on, so join us while you wait.
One vital part of our days at the
Centre we don't often mention.
That does not indicate the impor-
tance they hold in our minds! Our
volunteers are greatly appreciated,
and from what they tell us, they
enjoy their days with us too.
That's the way with the Day Cen-
tre - it's contagious!
