He is, however, ;Manning to further cut down on his produc- tion next year.

One can recall the old days when yotl visited the ice cream parlour with the soda fountain, wire -backed chairs, Tiffany lamps and, of course, the old player piano. Anyway the treats have never changed, and with a base of two or three flavors of ice cream, decorated with an assortment of top- pings, they make a delicious and colorful creation. Wednesday the van was available for residents who wished to go for an outing while some of the ladies were busy making muffins. The .Reverend John Pluta conducted Roman Catholic Mass in the chapel on Fri- day morning. A craft show featuring ceramics, knitted wear, baking and preserves, etc:, was on display at the Community Centre at Holmesville Friday afternoon, and by all reports, it was quite a successful affair. The weekly game of bingo brought to a close the activities for the week. Several residents and staff members are very busy these days with baking and crafts in preparation for our own Autumn Tea and Bazaar that will take place in the auditorium, Wednesday afternoon, October 8, from 2 to 4 p.m. Remember this date, and with a friend or two come out to Huronview and view the display of numerous articles that are for sale. Come and enjoy the lun- cheon with your friends. Next Sunday is Thanksgiving, and everyone is welcome to share in the service at Huronview.
