BLYTH - Queen's Villa has been a busy
location throughout the last week. 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.
