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."

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 family comes home take the dogs for a walk but because of the intense cold, the sortie was short-lived and they were soon stamping back into the house, leaving a pile of boots strewn in the It seems to me... by Gwyn Whilsmith I . 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.
