composed by Tom Fox, while Mrs.

rhinestone set. The girls left for a
northern Ontario hospital over the
week end. The following is the ad-
dress:
"We are all gathered here at the
home of the Smith's, I've been asked
to read an address, so I`ll start off
like this -Vera, Maggie and Vicki,
We hate to see you go, for we've had
good times together in the not so
long ago. We've all enjoyed our-
selves at dances, And we've all kick-
ed up our heels, with waltzes and
`strip the willow' and lots of 'eight-
some reels.' We've sat around and
'stung old songs, and hooked it up and
laughed, And I think some of the
neighbors swore that we were daft.
You are leaving us to go up north,
A. new town you are facing, God
speed and farewell to the three of
you, on your way to Kapuskasing.
These little gifts, they aren't much,
but we would have you know, We
will always be thinking of you,
wherever you may go."
