By a: rtha MacGregor
HENSALL - The Three Links Senior
Citizens enjoyed a bountiful Christmas din-
ner on Dec. 13 with a good representation of
members.
Following dinner President Hilda Payne
opened the meeting and Vera Ross played at
the piano. An invitation was received from
Kippen East Women's Institute to dinner at
Carmel Presbyterian Church on Jan. 18.
Thirty-two members plan to attend.
Mrs. Payne gave a detailed report of the
workshop she attended at MacKay Hall in
Goderich, stating the group should form a
Constitution. A motion followed to draw up a
Constitution by the Executive.
The Jan., Feb. and March meetings will
be held each second Tuesday of the month at
2 p.m.
Mrs. Payne thanked all who helped ar-
range the evening by decorating, setting up
tables and providing food.
Clarence Volland led in singing Christmas
Carols with Mrs. Ross at the piano. He then
introduced Miss Carolyn Love and her
father Jim Love who expressed thanks for
the opportunity to entertain at the gather-
ing. They played and sang several numbers
with Carol at the piano and Jim on the
guitar. Progressive euchre was played br-
inging the evening to a close.
Centennial Kick -Off
On Jan. 6 at 1:15 p.m., the Hensall Public
School will begin the first of a series of
Centenial Activities.
Since Hensall, Ontario received its name
from a community in England, the staff of
Hensall Public School thought it would be
appropriate to link the two communities
together. This past summer Mrs. Irene
Davis visited Hensall, England and while
there, she prepared slides of the area which
will be shown to the pupils by means of a
special presentation.
Following her talk, the pupils will be ask-
ed to participate in a Penpal selection pro-
cess with fellow pupils in Hensall, England.
Each pupil will be asked to make a list of
personal statistics such as age, grade, in-
terests and other characteristics so that
these can be matched with a corresponding
student in England. It is our hope that the
pupils will co-operate in this endeavour.
The public is cordially invited to attend
this function. Following the program, light
refreshments will be served_
Future Centennial Activities will be as
follows: Winter Carnival, February; Spring
Concert, April; Centennial Day at School,
May; School Picnic, Early June; Open
House, June 30th from 10-12 am. and 2 - 4
pan.

living touch, and a word of appreciation.
