Students visit
senior residents
ZURICH - Monday morning,
Mrs. Suplat's students from St.
Boniface school spent some time
with the residents. The buddy sys-
tem seems to be working very well
with both residents and children,
each looking forward to their get-
togethers. The morning was spent
visiting and working on crafts in
the auditorium and some attractive
decoration for doors and walls were
turned out. We find some of the
children drop in to visit with their
friend in between regular visits.

Mennonite church came to provide
assistance and prizes at Bingo. In
the evening our movie featiue was
Heaven on Earth. This true account
of the many English orphans who
were taken in by Canadian families
in the late 1800s was fascinating.
Many of the residents knew of peo-
ple who had come to Canada under
those circumstances.
Iran and Iraq were the focus of
our International day on Friday.
Residents helped research these
two countries and between our re-
search and extensive newspaper
clippings, we feet somewhat better
informed regarding these middle
eastern countries.
Coming events: January 24, 7
p.m., Fellowship Singers; January
31.7 p.m., Birthday Party with en-
