I have arthritis both my knees and When I talk it is with a wheeze — my pulse is weak and my blood is thin - but I'm awfully well for the sha I'm in. My diet, . I hate to think about, I'm overweight and can't get thin but ... The moral is, as this tate unfolds that you and me are growing old - but it's better to say, "I'm fine" with a grin than to let others know the shape we're in! I have a letter that may make you think - as It has me, since I received it back in Feb. 76. It goes: Dear Martha, I was delighted to receive your letter, (I'm leaving out bits here and there). Please notice I am using my best stationery (sheets from a three ringer). Since mother did not wish to go South with her friends or return to Goderich, we arriv- ed at a mutually satisfactory solution - I'd stay with her. So far we have survived an unpleasant winter — I believe the kids would call it a "bummer" snow wise. However, in some respects it has provided. us both with time to renew ourselves. I know I've been good eompany for her since 'icy weather has prevented visitors, but I see a "Dominion Roads Champion" grader ploughing for the first time since November and we can see bare pavement and be en- couraged by the 40 degrees weather. Presently, I'm working with six other peo- ple on a local initiative project for the Chamber of Commerce. The job will finish on Apr. 30, so will then return to Auburn. I've had part-time employment, working for Sears two months prior to Christmas then following a month of unemployment was taken on in my present job as a "Resear- cher". During January, I had time to do some watercolor scenes in these Karwarthas - they are beautiful - I had to sit in the van - but I just had to paint.

The; group - he Co-ordinator, (Boss) is 34, , the typists - all married ladies are ages 22 to 35; my two' fellow researchers - a young chap 4, married - and an attractive miss of 24. , I find it invigorating to work with this age group. All take their job seriously and pro- vide a stimulating environment to enjoy. I find their collective idealism a little in- tolerable at times - but then I was that way, too, in my, twenties. But I try to refrain from my cynical verbal encounters. These youngsters of today, Martha, con- tinue 'to amaze me. In the vast majority, they are much better informed, more direct and frank in their sexual and social at- titudes than 1 at their age. Also are more tolerant of racial and religious differences - and I hate to admit, better able to cope with problems than those.of our generation. I can only hope, for their sake, that they won't have to face a depression era like that which influenced my own and the older generation of Canadians. We owe so much to the young - their enthusiasm, vigor and hope and 'trust in themselves should inspire and renew my generation and the elderly. They are teaching me how to renew my faith in myself. Because of the servere weather I've had few occasions to socialize, but I did get an evening out to see and enjoy the Trent University Theatre presentation of "The Gondoliers". It was well presented; the music was not as familiar as the Mikado or Pirates of Penzance but I enjoyed it im- mensely. Well, here I have been rambling on in much the same disjointed way as my verbal conversations — but do keep your faith in the younger generation - with discipline they will be great. Best Regards, Tim. I am hoping we can help. - Dungannon UCW holds meeting There was good attendance at the home of Gloria Pearson for the Dungannon UCW meeting.
