anniversary
Exeter senior citizens
celebrated the 30th anniver-
sary of their organization
Monday with a pot luck din-
ner. They had as their guests
the Dashwood senior citizens.
Over 110 sat down to an am-
ple and delicious meal, in-
cluding beautifully decorated
birthday cake.
During the course of the
meal candles on the cake
were lit by four former
presidents. Mrs. Arthur Run-
dle lit one for Joe White who
was unable to be present, and
one for herself. Mrs. Dorothy
Bullock and Mr. Kenneth
Johns lit one each and Mrs.
Mildred Thomson one for
herself as present president.
After singing of 0 Canada
and repeating of the Lord's
Prayder Mildred read a
Valentine poem.
Mrs. Ruby Beaver is the
new representative to the ad-
visory committee and she
gave a report of that
committee.
An announcement was
made of a concert by the
Blyth Festival singers as
Blyth on Sunday March 4 at 3
and 8 p.m. Admission $4 and
$2 for children.
It was announced that June
is senior citizens month and
seniors are also asked to be
thinking of Heritage Days and
of some activity in which they
might take part, in connection
with Bicentennial
celebrations.
A minute of silence was
observed in memory of Lois
Harrington who passed away
recently and a poem which
had been sent in some years
ago by the late Ted Chambers
was read.
The program convened by
Blanche Dougall consisted of
several numbers by the Kit-
chen Orchestra which were
humorous and entertaining.
A reading by Irene Johns
and two readings by Alice
Bowen, a violin selection by
Russell Brintnell, selections
by Dorothy Bullock and Ells
Frayne on piano and mouth
organ and a humorous skit
performed by several
members concluded a very
enjoyable afternoon. Mrs.
Weigand moved a vote of
hanks on behalf, of the
Dashwood seniors citizens.
If .; ou really want the last
word in an argument, try say-
ing, "I guess you're right."

Like many families, today,
ours is one separated by
miles. It means there's no
dropping in for Sunday din-
ner, but it also means, when
our grown children do come
home, they are guests who
stay from two days to two
weeks.
Recently, three quarters of
our clan decided to con-
gregate...nine adults, two
children and three dogs. The
house sang with anticipation,
and because these visits are
infrequent, there had to be
preparation. Rooms were
aired out, unused beds made
up, and mountains of food
stuffed in the freezer. Furan
little quirks had to be recall.
Who is it who can't stand flan-
nelette sheets?...Is it raisin
ppie they all love...or is it pum-
pklks Isn't there one who
out if he eats cream-
ed corn?
The first day, as the guests
arrived, there was squealing,
hugging, kissing, sorting out
bedrooms and settling in.
They wandered happily
around the house touching old
familiar objects and pouring
over albums with snaps
dating back to their
babyhood. Roasts were carv-
ed up and casseroles and
salads heaped on the table.
Love abounded with the clat-
The
ter of cutlery and the banter
of tongues as we sat down
together for the first time m
over three years.
Since ours has always been
a family of games and

because of the intense cold,
the sortie was short-lived and
they were soon stamping

parlour tricks, the dishes
were quickly put away so we
could move to the living room
for an evening of fun. Hoots of
derisive laughter rang out as
the designated detective tried
vainly to pin down the culprit
of `Murder in the Dark.' The
night became even more
raucous when we brought out
the old game of Pit, its cards
dogearred and soiled from
many past playings. It was
after one a.m. when we all
tumbled into bed.
Next morning, everyone
rose slowly, at different
times, some having not slept
well in their strange old beds.
Although it was snowing and
blowing, they all decided to
doorway, coats and scarves
tossed to chairs.
While the two young
children held a heated discus-
sion about which television
program to watch, one of the
adults got out Trivial Pursuit.
The animated conversation of
the night before became very
subdued.
By afternoon, one son-in-
law's eyes were glazing over
with cabin fever as he paced
from window to window wat-
ching the unrelenting snow
pile up in the driveway, and
the other one remembered,
with great clarity, all the
things he had left at home
that needed his emergent at-
tention. In the basement, the
dogs began to snarl at each
other; the hot water tank ran
cold, and we were down to lef-
tovers by suppertime.
Our hearts weren't in play-
ing games so someone turned
on the television and we all
stared stoically at Three's
Company and Too Close for
Comfort until, one by one,
the hint, we drifted off
to bei.
Next morning, the storm
had ceased, the sun was shin-
ing. All had slept well and
were up bright and early.
Laughter and good nature
returned as we cooked and
ate a big breakfast. The girls
packed the bags and hauled
them out to the front hall
while the fellows went out
with shovels to rediscover the
driveway. There was another
flurry of hugging, and advice
to drive carefully and ' to
phone when they reached
home. As the cars disap-
peared down the lane, Fatller
and I waved from the dining
room window.
We heaved a sigh...of
sadness, but of relief; too, and
turned to straighten up clut-
tered rooms, strip crump
beds, gather up piles of damp
towels, put away games, and
return to quiet normal.
It was wonderful to have
them all home, but it seemed
to us, it was awfully nice to be
alone again, too.
