There were all kinds of things to see and to do at the_ annual Christmas bazaar at Goderich
Psychiatric Hospital bazaar last Wednesday. After a leisurely turn around the main auditorium
where there was plenty of variety to choose from, bazaar goers were invited into the staff cafeteria
where tea, coffee, Christmas cak4 and cookies were served. (staff photo)
Horticultural Society

Most. of their gardens are
hibernating, but the members of
The-- --Goderich-.:- - Horticultural
Society are not! They met for
their . annual meeting on
Wednesday November 25 at St.
George's Parish , Hall. It was a
very cold, blustering evening,
but about 30 hardy members
braved the elements to wind up
the horticultural year.
President Paul Carroll opened
the meeting, then called on
secretary Mrs. Wendy Hoernig
and 'treasurer- Dave Gower for
their annual reports. These
showed a most successful year in
all respects- indeed the society is
entering its . 1971 year with :a

one more year. Thiswas heartily .,

Society thrived on his
leadership, and everyone
appreciated the great amount of
time and effort he had willingly
expended. • •
Mr. Carroll spoke briefly,
mentioning first that the society
plans to enter a float in the
Santa Claus Parade, and , asked
for ideas. Indeed, he is hoping
that "ideas unlimited" will flow
from the members -ideas for a
community project for next
year, and ideas and suggestions
for next year's activities.

says Chicago lady doctor
Life does begin at forty,
especially for women, when a
whole new period of freedom
awaits them.
That's what the women say,
according to Dr. Bernice
N e u garten, professor and
chairman of the Committee on
Human Development, University
of Chicago. She bases this
conclusion on a continuing
study of the attitudes of
middle-class women toward :the
menopause.
"It's a distinctive period in
life ... when most women's
responsibilities for child-rearing
have ended, or at least tapered
off ... that makes a major
change, and I also think that
women tend to see this as a
time when a new life and a
whole new freedom begin," Dr.
Neugarten said in a recent
interview.
On the whole, she found
women surprisingly eager to talk
about the menopause. A few
expressed fear of mental
breakdown, creeping senility or
the loss of sexual appeal. The
study also revealed that the
American female thinks it's, not

husband's.
"I think they make more of a
problem of their husbands'
health than of their own," said
Dr. Neugarten.
She found a good deal of
concern about sexuality,
particularly whether it is true
that menopausal women .. lose
their attractiveness and
responsiveness. Women also
tended to reveal their credence
of old wives' tales -- although
they openly expressed disbelief
of them -- that women" "lose
their !Minds" at menopause.
They projected ,•their own
anxieties 'by reciting "horror"
stories about relatives, and
frk nds who had gone through
such experiences.

she said.
Dr. Neugarten believes that
more public education and
information is needed on the
biologic changes of middle age.
"It strikes me that most people
today know a great deal more, in
general, about good health
practices than they did 20' years
ago. But I think it is
advantageous to make 'a good
deal more information . available
about changes that occur in
middle age, and in particular the
biologyof the female, since
these changes, pi and large, are
more dramatic than those in the
male," said Dr. Neugarten.
At the same time, education
is also needed on • medical
developments that make it
possible to relieve many
symptoms of menopause.
Information . is particularly
desirable on "the' benefits of
estrogen replacement...," she
explained. This information is
needed to alter lofig-held
attitudes about "letting nature
take its course."
"I think what needs to be
done generally is to• educate

(and other) methods for dealing
with some of the other ise
widespread health changes that
can occur in a woman in middle
age - and old age," said Dr.
Neugarten.

if it is only a shared bedroom or
playroom."
Mrs. Bagdan, who studied
interior design at the University
of Manitoba, said the children's
area need not be large or
expensively decorated.
"In fact, a room can grow
with a child from nursery to
about age 12."
For example, a desk made a
good change table in a nursery, a
fort for toddlers and a work area
for school-age children.
"Or a desk can be built for

moved up on adjustable brackets
as the child grows."

In the beginning a room may
only be painted and a light
fixture installed. A rug could be
added as children get older.
Mrs. Bagdan said nurseries
should provide a sense of
cleanliness and freshness..aShe
suggested keeping colors light,
but not white.
"A touch of aor blue or
.green into white paint avoids the
unrestful - glare of a pure -white
roe . You -might want to use
light yellows or pinks instead,
but the blue -greens are more
restful and easier to work with
for other room colors."
She said toddlers and young
children like bright colors.
"Think of the colors in a toy
store' -- that's what is appealing
to a child,"
The mother of a four-year-old
son, Mrs. Bagdan says children's
furniture designs are generally
poor.
"If you are capable of making
units yourself, I would suggest
you look through European
design magazines. They have
some excellent ideas, such as a
crib, that' convert& to a two -seat
