( photo by Sharon Dietz) - • Norway and Iceland are topics The. annual meeting preceded a variety program at the MacKay Centre for Seniors on Wednesday evening, Jan. 29. Three talented musicians delighted the audience with their performances. Shirley McMillan entertained with two numbers on her saxophone, "Moonlight Serenade" and "My Tribute." Barbara Vessey paid tribute to the Scots as she sang "Eriskey Love Lilt". a song of the Hebrides by Margaret Ken- nedy Fraser. Her second number was a lilting melody called "The Dancing Lesson" by Herbert Oliver. Mrs. Vessey, a newcomer to Goderich, has a beautiful soprano voice. Robert Blackwell was the capable accom- panist for both soloists. He also entertained the audience with two piano solos, a modern one "The Homecoming" by Hardy and an "old" one "Elite Syncopations" by Scott Joplin. Once again the audience was thrilled by Mr. Blackwell's musical performance;, This is the second time he has played ragtime music for MacKay Centre. Everett and Beatrice Spading showed slides taken on their recent trip to the Scan- dinavian countries. This travelogue was on the last half of their tour as they travelled through part of Norway and Iceland. Iceland is not a cold country as the name would suggest as the average temperature range is between 32 degrees F and 55 degrees F. In early June there are only short periods of darkness as the sun never really sets. Homes and swimming pools are heated by storing water from geothermal springs which reach temperatures of 572 degrees F. In 1968,, the Marathon Swimming Pool which will accommodate over 1000 people " was built in the capital city Reykjavik. This pool is heated all year. Reykjavik is a smokeless city as no fuel is used in the homes or factories. Many acres of greenhouses have been built to supply vegetables all year round. These are also heated by thermal springs. Continuing volcanic action and geysers have spoiled farm land which is cut by many ravines and fiords. Many farms and villages are along the coast of Iceland. Tourist accommodation is in good supply. Most schoole are boarding schools and dur- ing tourist accom- modation. .c . vacation time are usedas tourist al,CG11Y modation. There are also some very fine hotels. Camping is very popular and is allowed wherever there are no fences. In their journey to Norway, they travelled from Oslo to Bergen by train, bus, and ferry through picturesque country with many mountains and tunnels. There were several slides taken in Bergen which is a beautiful city on the coast of Norway. The group returned to Oslo by train and boarded a plane to Iceland. Herm spent most of their time in Reykjavik. A nine -hour tour of Iceland was much enjoyed by the touring group. During this tour Mr. Sparling took many pictures of spectacular scenery which included volcanic areas, geysers and thermal springs, many waterfalls and cataracts flowing down the mountain sides, and beautiful reflections in the clear lakes and rivers. 'Janet Kalbfleisch introduced the musi- cians and the Sparlings and expressed on behalf of the audience thanks to them for their excellent entertainment. Mrs. E. Gib- son -played the piano. Russel Alton presided for the annual meeting and Olive Knisley acted as secretary. A minute of silence was observed in memory of all of those members who had passed away during the year. Reports indicated that 1985 'had been a busy and, productive year at MacKay Cen- tre. Several improvements to the building had been made. There were 356 members in 1985, and many of these members have been involved in various programs. Many volunteers are needed, however, to keep events organised and activities running smoothly. The retiring president expressed his ap- prociationfor the support he had received from the board of management and the members during his term of office. He call- ed on the convenor of the nominating com- mittee, Janet Kalbfleisch, to give the report IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING 0/O "3 year GIC, interest paid annually.
