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. Our
very enjoyable afternoon con-
cluded with a delicious supper.
Huron County should be proud
of such. wonderful facilities

district:

SLEEPING PILLS
Sleeping pills should be used
with care,, reminds. Consumers'
Association of Canada. The
body develops partial tolerance
after ten nights. After three
months of regular use tolerance
is complete. The bad sleeper
than increases the dose and
tolerance again develops. As
the nightly dose approaches a
lethal quantity, accidents and
even deaths result ante -`after a
long perind of use, the body
requires weeks and often mon-
ths to return to a normal sleep
pattern. CAC National Office is
located at 100 Gloucester
Street, Ottawa.
