Senior citizens claim there's strength in unit'
The spring rally of zone

place on May 1, at St.
John's Parish Hall,

Grand Rend Club acting
as hosts. Registration
took place from 9:30 -
1 O: 3t1 a.m. when about 13fl
members registered,
including seven from
Clinton Golden Radar
Club. •
At 10:30 Harry Baker
of Bayfield, president of
Zone 8, called the
meeting to order. Rev. G.
Anderson, pastor of St.
John's conducted the
devotional period.
Reeve Robert Sharen of
Grand Bend extended a
warm welcome and since
1979 is designated "The
Year of the Child" read a
very apt and thought-
provoking poem.
A comprehensive
report • of 1978 Spring
,Rally in Exeter in April
and Fall rally and picnic
combined in Seaforth in
ugust was read by zone
secretary Irene Johns
and the treasurer's
report was given by
Charles Martini. Mr..
Bakero thanked his
executive for organizing
the rally.
The president or vice-
president of each club
was then given three
minutes each to give a
resume of his or her
club's activities during
the past year. rsClubs
reporting were Goderich,
Exeter, Brussels,
Bayfield, Clinton, Grand
Bend, Seaforth, Hensall,
Zurich and Dashwood.
Sandwiches, cookies
and coffee were then'
served by the' Grand
Bend ladies.
The Rally resumed
with a sing -song led- by -
Kenneth Johns with Mrs.
M. Dougall as pianist.
Howard Latsch sang
"How Great Thou Art"
with all joining in the
choruses.
Mrs. Nola Love, vice-
president of Zone 8, in-
troduced the guest
speaker, Mrs. Lucy
Turnbull, corresponding
secretary of U'S'C'O', a
very warm, gracious lady
and a tireless worker for
Seniors •at U-S'C'O' in
Toronto. She enjoys the
fellowship and frien-
dliness of small groups
like Zone 8 but finds it
lacking in cities. She
thought the club reports
good as they create an
exchange of ideas.
-The T-h-eme of ll'S'C'O'
is "Strength in Unity".
U'S'C'O' was formed in
1956 by two key men Jack
Larose and Jack Lerette.
From that small
beginning it has grown to
one of the largest unions
in Canada - a Senior
Citizens' union working
for Senior Citizens and
the dues are $1 per year.
This provides most of the
assets for U'S'C'O' The
executive members are
all volunteers receiving
