CHARLOTTE BELL SAYS
"Not bad for an old lady"
'You're looking lovely," a well wisher
greets Charlotte Bell.
"I'm not too bad for an old lady," Mrs.
Bell quips back.
Witty and wise, attractive and spry,
Charlotte Bell greeted guests to her birth-
day party held at Huronview on Sunday
afternoon.
Charlotte Bell has the right to say that she
is old, after all she is celebrating her 95th
birthday. It's surprising to learn that Mrs.
Bell will be 95 years old on March 27th. She
wears her age extremely well.
She does not profess to hold the key to the
fountain of youth. She has no secret elixors,
no "early to bed, early to rise" philosphies
that have given her a long and healthy life.
In fact, MI -4 Bell admits to having stayed up
to well past the 11 o'clock news in her
younger years.
Born and raised in Morris Township, Mrs.
Bell • nd her husband the late Frank Bell
farm the area and raised two children
Wallas . • of Brussels and Addie Hunk-
ing o Londesboro.
Her family tree also includes five grand-
children and 12 great grandchildren.
Many relatives and friends took part in
the birthday festivities at Huronview where
Mrs. Bell now resides. She says that living is
comfortable, pleasant and busy at the home.
Mrs. Bell takes part in most of the social
events at Huronview, paying particular
favorite to the music programs and
concerts.
Prior to moving to Huronview, Mrs. Bell
lived in Blyth for some 15 years, making her
home at the senior citizens apartments in
the village. She retired there from the farm.
In her 95 years Mrs. Bell has lived through
a time of great social and technological
change.
"It's been nice to live on and get into this
century," she remarks.
When asked if she misses the times gone
by, she notes, "The horse and buggy were
fine, but I'll take a car."
As for the future, Mrs. Bell plans to take
each day as it comes,
Sunday Schoolers are busy
CLINTON - The last few weeks of winter
have seen the children of the Sunday School
and members of the congregation at St. An-
drew's Presbyterian Church busy with
visiting and preparations for the activities
of the church.
In February the children of the Primary -
.Junior Sunday School class, with the help
and guidance of their teacher, Mrs. Tom
Morgan, stopped off at the King Street Villa
to deliver Valentines to the Seniors. The
Valentines, each bearing a love message,
were made by the children and contained lit-
tle baskets of candy hearts. The seniors
were delighted with their visit from the
children and kept their gift of candy hearts
to decorate their table when they had their
Valentine dinner. The children helping with
this delivery were Tonya Oliver, .Jeremy
Scherle, Paul Somerville, Danny Morgan,
Kevin MacKay, and Steven Farquhar.
On March 1, Jeffrey Desch, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Roy Desch, Jr., was presented with his
Boy Scout, Religion in Life Award by Rev.
William Barber. A test. given by the
Beta Sigma Phi, Zeta Omega

On March 11, the Community' Lenten Ser-
vices began. Those attending enjoyed
homemade soup and sandwiches with their
attention focused on the message given by
Rev. Barber in preparation for the Easter
season.
March 14 was a beautiful spring-like mor-
ning and at St. Andrew's Church Hall the
New Dimensions were busily getting ready
for the St. Patrick's Tea that day. The hall
and tables were decorated with Irish sym-
bols and daffodils and the aroma of the stew
and homemade bread being prepared to be
served was delightful. It was an enjoyable
event and well attended.
Confirmation classes have begun. Those
taking part are Lauralee Johnston, Paula
MacDonald, Sheri Oesch, and Craig
Caldwell. As part of their preparation for
confirmation, these young people are shar-
ing the Scripture readings and Responsive
