Old fasioned funenjoyed at Huronview
•HURONVIEW - For those people who
relate to the old time music of piano, mouth
organ and fiddle as part of bygone days,
then you were in the right place if you were
in the audiierium on January 13. Here, a
group of musicians headed by Wilson Mc-
Cartney, presented a program of good old
tunes. These lilting strains of yesteryear
created a bright and happy mood and really
got the toes -a -tapping.
During this time, it would be great to see
somedof the residents get up on the floor and
dance a waltz or two; they could probably
do it too.
On the following afternoon, Rev. Gordon
Simons conducted Anglican Communion,
assisted by Olive Colwell. Frank Bissett
presided at the chapel organ for this ser-
vice.
The January birthday party took place on
January 15 in the auditorium and the Senior
Citizens' Group from Clinton was in charge
of arrangements. They put on a variety pro-
gram. Dora Heard, who is a professional
when it comes to `whistling', gave the
residents an excellent, sample of her talent,
and was accompanied on the mouth organ
by Wat Webster. A piano solo, played by
Rita Wright was enjoyed„andfollo,Wdng„ppiis,
oe Bolen gave a demonstration on thgr
` lechnigae bf Vlolin playnfg, and accompany-
ing Joe's selections, was Gwen Watson at
the piano.
A medley of mouth organ pieces was a
treat for listeners. It was played by Wat
Webster, who was accompanied on the
piano by his daughter Margery Huether.
Mary and Elmer Trick, dressed as a
Hollywood couple, presented a delightful
and humorous skit that got quite an ap-
plause from the audience.
Elmer Trick (and no pun intended) played
some tricky numbers on the piano.
At the conclusion of lhe concert,
refereshments were served. Olive Colwell
thanked these talented people for sharing
the afternoon with the residents.
Mid -week Bible Study took place in the
chapel during the afternoon of January 16
with Mrs. Prouty in charge. She also led in
the singing of the hymns and was accom-
panied at the organ by Elsie Henderson. A
poem dedicated to Wayne Lester was given
by Mabel Scott. A devotional reading was
given by Mildred Marwick. During prayer
time requests were given by the residents.
The message with the topic being '13e Filled
With The Spirit' was delivered by Mrs. Pro-
uty.
The following morning was Roman
Catholic Mass conducted by Rev. John
'?luta. Mass was held in thet lcha e,J.,,.

evening with them. At the conclusion of the
games, cookies and coffee were served.
There are probably a great number of
residents who will be able to remember the
days of the ice cream parlor - the soda foun-
tain, and hanging above it, a Tiffany
chandelier. Remember when you could
hardly wait for the school day to end so you
could hurry to the parlor and play all the
good old pieces of the player piano. What
fond memories of those times!
January 17 was just one of those days
when residents met in the auditorium for ice
cream day! The sundaes were delicious.
Over the ample serving of ice cream were
the mouthwatering toppings of walnuts,
chocolate, pineapple and cherries to men-
tion a few, and then finished off with a
generous helping of marshmallow. Needless
to say, but one could hardly "accuse" the
residents of going back for "seconds".
Thanks goes out to the staff for this ex-
cellent treat, and a trip back to the ice
cream parlor.

das of Walton, who will reside here.
