Many visitors at Villa
EXETER - Hello from everyone
at the Exeter Villa. It has been
wonderful to have had so much
warm weather. It is hard to believe
tha November is upon us.
Upcoming birthdays this week
are Annie Brintnell, Irene Brintnell
and staff members Donna Turk-
heim and Pat Campbell. Best wish-
es ladies.
We have had a busy week with
lots of visitors. We were pleased to
have the Grade 7/8 class of Pre-
cious Blood School visit. This class
adopted many grandmas and grand-
pas and we look forward to seeing
them next month.
We had an excellent ,crowd for
the Senior'Citizen Bingo last Mon-
day. On Tuesday evening the
Christian Reformed Choir favoured
us with several songs.
Rev. Gaskin of Caven Presbyteri-
an Church conducted our weekly
worship service in the Nursing
Home and the monthly Comunion
service in the Lodge. Mrs. Edith
Bell assisted him on the piano.
The Girl Guides joined us
Wednesday to entertain on a differ-
ent tone. The girls were Pumpkin
Carolling. Afterwards the Lioness
created some excellent jack -o -
lanterns under the supervision of
our residents. Thank you, ladies,
for the lovely lunch of homemade
goodies.
Lodge residents celebrated at
their monthly Birthday Party on
Thursday. Honoured guests were
Olive Bierling, Ben Scott and Vio-
la Beavers. Thanks to Annie Lytle
for her assistance on the piano.
Residents and staff extend their
sympathy to the family and friends
of Ray Francis. We shall all miss
Ray.
Thought for the week: To be 70
years young is sometimes more
cheerful than to be 40 years old.

old town 81 year old.
Many of the people in the cells
who were not pro lifers were there
for offenses ranging from speeding
tickets to murder. They looked
upon the pro lifers as mother fig-
ures and asked to keep in touch
when they were released.
They were shocked to learn that
the pro lifers could leave anytime
simply by signing a form saying
they would not protest again.
From the small cell window An-
drianna saw a prayer vigil assem-
bled forthem, with about 500 peo-
ple in attendance. The vigil was
