The Goderich Signal-Star, 1974-06-20, Page 9GQPRICR SJGN cleSTAR, !rliURSDAY, JUNE 2O1974—.MB 9 FRIENDSHIP CENiRE`'NEWS "We're living every minute of }t." This was the slogan stuck on everyone's chest as . they registered for a fun day at Huronview. The Goderich Senior Citizens were in charge, , of the festivities. Mamie Sutcliffe was Mistress of Ceremonies. Chester Ar- chibald, the administrator of Huronview, opened the after- noon of fun by explaining to the audience that the week of June 16th , 22nd had been proclaimed 'by the government of Ontario as Senior "Citizens 1 Week. On Sunday there was a special church service at the Wine. Each day during the ,_yveek there ,will be special en- tertainment for 'Senior Citizens. Mrs. Warr and Matimie war- med up the audience with a memory stirring sing -song in- cluding, "Pack d up Your Troubles',', "We'll Build a Sweet Little Nest", "I Want a Girl" etc. William Snyder, President of the Goderich Senior Citizens welcomed the guests. He claimed that his generation had lived in the best part of the 20th century. More progress had been made in his life time than in any other period of history. People were now going to tfie moon. He said that he really enjoyed living `through these times. Then Bill' pulled out a well worn book of his favorite poetry and read that Old favorite "Somebody's Mother" which used to be in the Old' Second Book (remem- ber? ).. Mrs. Warr's solo *as well , received. Mr. and Mrs. Schram played toe -tapping old time fid- dle music. Then the Mamie- , Shorty song and dance team , took over. They ,were good. Mamie sang and, danced. Shorty- played the guitar, sang and chorded for Bert. MacDonald while he played his toe tingling fiddle music. Remember the "Old Time Houies" .when all the iture was cleared out of the. kitchen to .make room for dan=. cing. If the old wood stove got in the way the men would carry it outsides fire and, all. Then Minnie would get on thei organ or piano*, chord for the- fid- dler. In 4a few minutes _.the house would be bouncing. Young and old 'would be dan- cing. Fathers would be proudly teaching their young daughters how to dance the Polka Rye Waltz,a'9x Trot, Square Dance, ete. They.,, might bump into young Johnny being 'en- couraged to dance by Mother or Aunt Nellie, The whole' family went to the party together, There were, no babysitting problems. When the children could no longer keep their eyes open they were laid out on beds (five or six t� a bed). When the party broke up at ciao break the children were wrapped up alt carried home. • Mrs. Driver and Norman Speir accompanied . by Mrs.' William Cox on the piano, Mrs. Mary Taylor with the mouth organ and Jerry Collins played real sweet music which reinfor- ced these memories. Mamie did a beautiful program. Everyone there could say, "We're living every minute of it." After -lemonade and cookies were served some of the visitors from Goderich were taken by Mrs McGregor on a tour of the Crafts and Hobby Shops where some of the girls Were hooking rugs, quilting, assembling cushion tops and weaving ce Milts and embroidering e were very impressed with the beautiful' crafts -displayed and other parts of the building.
