Instead of having the regular day of Bingo on Wednes- day, spooky monsters and costumed characters from the kindergarten class, surprised the tenants. The children were under the supervision of their teachers, Mrs. Buffinga and Mrs. Cronin. They displayed their talents in both songs and the art work they distributed to the audience. Afterwards, they were treated by Micky and Minnie Mouse, with various treats everyone supplied . - assuming the treats would be used for prizes at weekly Bingo. Bingo got underway after the children's departure. Dan Hallahan and Lottie McLellan were this week's winners for a "T" Bingo. Lottie received two hand -made glass butterflies donated by Jean Yanchus, a well known lady in Blyth for her talents in art work and creations. Dan was this week's winner for breakfast for two, compliments of the Village Restaurant. Numerous winners also receiv- ed prizes. At lunch, immediately following Bingo, names were drawn • for Christmas. The Christmas meal is scheduled for December 2, instead of Bingo. On Friday afternoon, a Halloween party was featured. Kindergarten to Grade 2 at- tended. Mrs. Buffinga, Mrs. Battye, Mrs. Little and Mrs. MacMillan visited in costumes, to show that Halloween is just around the corner. Again, the children supplied 'various entertainments, which were enjoyed by everyone. The children handed out crafts and stories that were later read. This program which hopefully will be kept going throughout the year. The seniors will listen to the children and help them with their reading, or possibly, • stories will be told of experiences by both the students and the senior citizens. Hopefully, the students will be able to relate with a different way of life than what they are currently experiencing. They will learn what "hard times" really are. It is hoped that the children will become aware of what the program is trying to stress - "You are as old as you feel.." Lost Heir Results On October 28, there were eight tables of enthusiastic players out for Lost Heir. Ella Richmond earned the title of high lady for the evening, while Ruth Dougherty, playing as a man, captured it for the men. Harve McDowell and Blanch Hoegy each received prizes for the low score of the evening. Lost Heir is held every Wednesday night at 8 p.m., in the Memorial Hall. Everyone is welcome to attend. Euchre On Monday evening there were 11 tables of euchre underway in Memorial Hall. The high scores this week went to Olive Neal and Don Haines, while Lilly Leatherland and Harvey Sillib obtained the low scores. This week, Winnie Vincent and Vi Howes, play- ing as a man, had the most lone hands. Two specials were given, going to Mildred McNall and Vietta Hoggarth.. Euchre will get underway again Monday night at 8 p.m., in Memorial Hall, everyone is welcome. • As Sunday was the first of November and Epilepsy Month is now underway, it was of- ficially opened in the Benmiller Inn at the yearly fashion show. This year, though, it had a special touch to it for me, as Dr. Girvin, my surgeon, was the main attraction, although there were numerous other wonderful and well-known models. The clothes were supplied by The Old Mill in Blyth and I loved every moment of it.( The clothes were beautiful, to say the least! ) Also supplying our fashion show were: Gentlemen's Choice, Exeter, No Kidding, Clinton; Cook's Florist, Clinton and Alouette and Les Ciseaux, Clinton. Besides all of the garments, we were very fortunate to have both hairstylists and make-up treatments. It is so riice that my hair is now long enough to do something with it! It is hoped that this yearly fund raising project will assist Huron -Perth Epilepsy pa- tients. We hope to see everyone again next year.
