Huronview news
Pen pals write
Sunday morning worship
was held in the Huronview
chapel with Rev. Norman
Pick in charge. A duet was
sung by Elsie Henderson and
Margaret McQueen. An an-
them was sung by the choir.
Flowers were placed in the
chapel by Sarah Carter and
Rhoda McKercher.
Monday afternoon Marie
Flynn and the Huron Strings
provided old time music.
They played many favorites
old and new for the pleasure
of the residents.
In the evening there was
music appreciation with
Bruce Cookson. He also
brought along a number of
letters from the Grade 4
students to be distributed to
the residents. The idea of
this is for a resident and stu-
dent to correspond with one
another and establish a pen
pal relationship. It is a great
idea and should be a lot of
fun.
Elsie Henderson played
piano music for Special Care
residents when they met in
the activity room Tuesday
afternoon for games and ex-
ercises. Refreshments were.
served.
Caravan Clothes from
London was here Wednes-
day. Racks of garments for
men and women were on
display. It was a great time
for residents and staff to
stock up for spring, or just
add to their present war-
drobe. Ed Stiles' from
Goderich was here on
Thursday and played selec-
tions old and new on the
chapel organ for the listen-
ing pleasure of the residents.
Huronview would like to
sincerely thank the legions,
Wingham Branch 180, Clin-
ton Branch 140 and Goderich
Branch 109 for their
generous donations to
Huronview toward the pur-
chase of a new van.
Residents extend a warm
welcome to Mr. William
Henry Nurse of Goderich,
who has come to reside at
Huronview.
To the families of the late
Mrs. Lily Pilkington and
Mrs. Gladys Wallis, Huron -
view expresses their sincere
sympathy. These two ladies
were residents of Huronview
and died last week.
BY Si(M4Wirl '
residents of Maitland
Manor enjoyed U. visit on
Easter Sunday from the
Christian Reformed Church
and Sunday School. They
sang hymns. and. distributed
Easter cards.
Each year, the Manor
holds its very, • ow Easter
Parade and this_ year's
parade was a tremendous
success. While the residents
did not stroll down - Fifth
Avenue, they were,,none-the-
less decked out in their
Easter bonnets with all the
frills upon them (put there
by the residents'
themselves). Audrey Kerr
divas transformed into the
Easter Bunny and Gord Har-
rison :was at the piano for a
sing -song. The kitchen staff
prepared and served after-
noon tea to all participants.
Dr. Roy Lomas recently
spoke to the Discussion
Group with regards to
`Health Aspects and Diet for
Senior Citizens'.
On April 18, a Chinese
night was held complete with
Oriental cuisine and movies
about China.
Further to last month's list
of regular visitors to the
Manor, the Roman Catholic
Church was inadvertently
omitted.
The Rhythm Band enter-
tained at the monthly birth
day party. Lorne Hyde and
Lorene Madge sang a couple
of duets. Orah Crawford, a
resident, joined in with his
strong tenor voice. It was
good to have violinist Bill
Hughes back from Texas
and residents hope Ebb Ross
is now feeling better. There
were five people celebrating
birthdays this month —
Margaret Wilson, Dell Dur-
nin, Acie Blake, Era Capl-
ing, and Orah Crawford.
Era Capling is a new resi-
dent this month. Welcome to
Maitland Manor Era.
In the craft department
residents were busy making
ducks for Easter out of pom
poms. Over the Easter
weekend each table in the
dining room was decorated
with a duck and basket of
Easter eggs. They were very
popular with the residents
(staff too).
Beads, old jewellery, felt,
yarn, Legg nylon holders,
pipe cleaners, buttons, rib-
bon, marbles, etc. — if you
have any of these items lying
around your house and 'have
no need of them - the Manor
does! We are always trying
to come up with new ideas
