ROUND AND ABOUT WITH MARINA There have been so many e,xperiences., from the receilt blizzard, 'that I can understand people talking about them for years to comp.. "Blizz Nite", last Wednesday, was bridge nite for a two group of women. The mailmen and these litridgers had a lot in common when it concerned thectveather - and everyone agreed it was =a ap heck of a hto be out of town playing bridge. It was the u\sual chatty,rnoisy evening and the fact that the windows were speckled with snow ,preventing or perhaps discouraging anyone from looking outdoors, didn't bother anyone. After a fine lunch and more chatter everyone is ready to leave and the door is opened to the elements and eight surprised women nearly fainted. Well! You should have seen them a few minutes later trying to get the cars out of the snow drifts with the roaring wind and icy blast freezing everything it touched. Finally one car was left in the snow banks and everyone - seven - piled into the other car. I firmly believe it was the weight of that big car that was ---:mthe contributing factor in -getting thru' those drifts and the good driver getting those • people home. We fully expertod fo three day . shut in. but luckily the wind • eased up and the' two days were enough. I just fell apart for one day. Wehad a four foot drift blocking the driveway and lucky for me a great youngster came to see if we needed help. The March blizzard, was a week or so late this year but it was just as devastating as the _dandy we had, three or four 'years ago.

Since the blizzard the drift is pretty deep; one could barely distinguish him but yesterday I noticed him (or her) ripping something apart - and by the mess I thought it .might be a small animal. So, I walked out in the cold and stopped within two feet of the dog which was ripping some meat off a dandy bone, he had Aught from Prize., plant Mrs. Agnes Foster, Sheppardton, is proud of her prize amaryllis which is now 27 inches high and has seven pinkish - orange blooms.

A well-known area man and sports enthusiast, Orville Blake of Holrnesville,4passed away in University Hospital in London on April 3. He was 66. Mr. Blake was • born in Colborne Township on March 19, 1909, and lived on the Maitland Concession in that township until he moved to Holmesville in 1958. In 1931, he married the for- mer Iona Wallace in Egmon- dville. She survives him. 'As well as being an' elder at Irlolmesville United- Church,. Mr. Blake was on the Township School Board for 17 years in 'h. • somelhere, At this point I realized it must be arC-old dog and a little deaf because I stood several seconds before he realized I was there and then he jumped's° high and ran away so fast he scared me too, ; I suppose some animals like curling up in the snow - but up to now I was quite worried about him. I don't know where he belongs but he has taken my mind off weightier problems just watching and ,wondering. about him. I noticed the Dog Control final notice in last week's paper and it made me think of the visitor. I hope his owners have the licence tags, since after, April 15 there is a $10.00 fine phis costs for those who neglect getting their dog tags. Next week a movie all you parents - young or older should plan to see. Go with your teenager because even the young people are hoping all the teenagers will make sure they see this movie as 'it really concerns both parents and their children. It will be at Park Theatre April 13, 14 and 15 with two showings each time.

Paper one wall with a flocked or foil paper and paint the other three Walls and Ceiling for a new and exciting look to your room. ,Ask your home decorating centre about the types of wallpapers now available. A new type is so thin, keing almost transparent, that even a small pin head will show through the paper. Also, Mr. Brown advises that good wallpaper deserves pasting, even if it is pre -pasted.

Linoleum Tile There are only two Never -Wax Floors on the market which require cleaning by damp mopping. To protect your floors from grooves and marking, try putting casters under the table and chairs. Also liquid wax can be used on your new tile floors. Individual porcelain tiles comes in two sizes -- 6" x 6" and 8" x 8". I-lowever Mr. Brown considers them very expensive, impractical and very dangerous when the tiles become wet and slippery! They require a good subflooring, one that doesn't give.
