They enjoyed supper

and quite a bit of snow.
In a computer card
they received, they were
reminded that Canada's
Prime Minister in 1941
was Mackenzie King and
the U.S. President was
Franklin Roosevelt.
Some. musical, mezpo ,q
of 1941 were: ' The

and Bewildered', 'Deep
in the Heart of Texas'
and 'I Don't Want to Set
the World on Fire.'
In entertainment the
best movie was 'How

The best actor was
Gary Cooper and the best
actress Joan Fontaine.
Some new things were

oped by Sister Kenny,

income was $1,316; a
new Ford was $1,136,
one litre of gas was 7e,
bread 21e, a litre of milk

Some of Annie's memo-
ries of those years were
of bread being delivered
by the Zurich bakery
once a week in a box at
the gate. Due to gas
rationing theyeliminated
the trip in and out the
country lanes.
Another memory she
has is of the late Art and
Nora Webb who operat-
ed the Shipka store who
came once a week in
their van equippedwith
all necessary, groceries,
saving farmers a trip to
town.
Things to
remember
The value of time,
The success of persever-
ance,
The pleasure of working,
The dignity of simplicity,
The worth of character,
The influence of exam-
ple,
The obligation of duty,
The wisdom of economy,
The virtue of patience,
The improvement of tal-
ent,
The joy of originating
and the power of kind-
ness.
