Last week the number of seniors attending was down somewhat, but we did have an active program. We have planted our spring flowers. Actually we have just started, as we only managed to get some petunias in starting trays. On Monday, the plants came. up, so we're well on our way to spring. We hope to have many box plants ac- culnulated to sell at our craft sale. As mentioned last week, Doug McEachern visited the centre on Tuesday. Mr. McEachern represents the M, inistry of Natural Resources; and spoke onits role in the community, and new phases of development in the Wingham district. „ The Senior Chef program seems to be proving suc- cessful. Each week we are doing a follow-up discussion of the previous week's show. Sr. Citizens donate to street signs FORDWICH - At theFeb- ruary meeting of the local senior citizens, held in the. hall on Wednesday, February 4, it was agreed that the group donate $250 toward the new street signs being erected in the village. The signs are a joint project of the senior citizens, Women's Institute, business - 'men and Lions Club. The meeting began with a pot luck dinner at 12 noon with about 47 in attendance. After dinner President Roy Kennedy welcomed everyone and the meeting opened with the singing of '0 Canada' with Miss M. McElwain at the piano. 'Happy Birthday' was sung to eight members. A card party, open to all the community, will be held Friday, February 13, at 8:30 p.m. The group will visit the Fordwich Village Nursing Home in October. Mrs. Eva Harris and her group were in charge of the , program. Community singing was led by Miss McElwain, with Mrs. Russell Nickel at the piano. Two readings were given by Mrs. Sam Johnston and Mr. Johnston played two selections on the mouth organ. Two readings by Mrs. Roy Simmons were then given. Mrs. Mary, Graham showed slides of her trip to Northern Canada: the Klondike, Dawson City, Whitehorse, etc: A splendid commentary was given to accompany the slides. She was assisted by Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Elva Cooper. Mrs. Marjorie Sotheran thanked Mrs. Graham and her assistants. The program is not only an opportunity of learning new recipes, but a chance to assess the individual's nutritional intake. Cook books are available through the Health Unit. We do not have any of the cook books left at present, but I will be ordering more in the very near future. Last Wednesday, Glenn Manderson, a management consultant with Woods Gordon, spoke at the Armouries regarding senior citizen housing. The meeting was open to the public to allow individuals to ask questions about the survey questionnaires which each senior received in the mail. The questionnaires were sent to assess the need for additional senior housing in this area. The craft program is corning along quite well. We have two or three projects in the making. We hope to start the ancient craft of making 'apple dolls' soon. If anyone in the area has a skill in this respect, er knows something about making the apple dolls, we could sure use your help. On Thursday evening, Feb. 12 from 7-11 p.m. we will have the CPR (heart saver) course at the Armouries. About 1oieople will be taking the course, which is being taught by two instructors from Seaforth. If you can drive, or know anyone from the Blyth area who would volunteer drive, we would be pleased to hear from you. Call 357-1440 anytime..
