JOSEPH and DRYSDALE Alfred. Ducharme, Correspondent Old Maids' Day On November 25, in the years gone by, it was known as the feast of St. Catherine and bet- ter known in the old province of Quebec as old maids' day. The history of that goes back in the earliest settling of that province. At that epoch, girls of 25 and over years of age were considered old maids and for a prank they were taken to some slopes where they went for fun making during the day, the feast of St. Catherine. Today, however, the feast has fallen into a lack of lustre gen- tily and as in the past girls are not forced to wear bonnets as in the olden times. Today their ambition is like other provinces, that is, to compete with their younger associates of whom some marry at a tender age. The fete. however, is an oc- casion for all sorts of gather- ings, dancing, masked balls and card parties. There are still the old old parishes who get together on November 25 to bring back memories of the old province of Quebec when it was in its infancy and to inform the generations of today. In the parish of St. Catherine de Portneuf we believe the par- ishioners still gather together for the day, probably to renew past incidents. On such feast days in the early years the par- ish priest celebrated mass and during the ceremony blessed bread and distributed it to those Je :M n ',''rcLacklir at the organ in the ROD and GUN ROOM Colonial i otel GRAND BEND EVERY Thursday, Friday and Saturday Night Also Saturday Matinee in attendance. They either ate the bread or kept it as a token of their faith in their patron saint, St, Catherine of Alex Andria, St. Catherine was the patron saint of philosophers in the Roman Catholic Church and died in the year of 307. Visitors on Sunday last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. Du- charme were from St, Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Davis; from London, Mr, and Mrs. Clifford Wright and Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Tomlin, The Ducharmes being uncle and aunt to them. On Sunday last Mr. and Mrs. j Richard Geoffrey, of the Drys- dale district, Mr. William Du- i charme and Mrs. Josephine Du- charme motored to Landon to visit with ?firs. Virginia Den- omme, who is a patient in St. Mary's Hospital. Mrs. Denomme is a sister to Mrs. Ducharme and the only two living mem- bers of a large pioneer family. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Bedard, after spending a few weeks in Detroit and other points, re- turned to their home on Mon- day last. Many Attend Opening Many from this parish and surroundings on Sunday last at- tended the opening of the Blue Water Rest Home. All were impressed by the skilled work- manship of the structure. Young and old took part in the open- ing of the home for the aged. No one hesitated to say that it was a God -send for the aged to live in comfort in their declin- ing yeas. The young generation of to- day were glad to attend and glad to see all that is being offered to our senior citizens, which shows that all are inter- ested in the welfare of human- ity. It also indicates that most- ly all were, and are, willing to give a helping hand to the bene- fit of the home. Yours truly and Mrs. Du- charme and other members of their family paid a visit to the home the past week. They were happy over the welcome they received from the authorities. After viewing several rooms in the building and the layout, furnishings a n d decoration, they were fully convinced that Don't Forget the Knights of Columbus ON INGO TH RSDAY, DECEASE At 8:30 p.m. Canadian Legion Halir Seaforth 15 Regular Games for Turkeys 5 Share -the -Wealth Games 2 Big :ll: oor Prizes ADMISSION: $1.00 EXTRA CARDS: 25c EACH; 3 FOR 50c; 7 FOR $1,00 Sponsored by Father Stephen Eckert Council Seaforth and District -•u .,H: �"gym ZURICH LIO 5 CLU ANNUAL EY Zuric i C In the unity Ce i trn FRI iAY, DECEMBER 2 8:30 P.M. 25 CHANCES ON TURKEYS --- $2.00 Also Share -the -Wealth Proceeds for Annual Santa Claus Day! hb. s0rA4ovFs,0Am 0,,,,o ro4awyevcs4o4Am a yaw,ra4o,r.r4e,pwvc~ar-414No.e.r.rtu,p:, ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1964 Bowling Scores MEN'S BOWLING LEAGUE Rockets, J Bedard __ 668 4 27 Flyers, E Horner ___ 576 4 29 Rebels, G Shantz _-__ 568 0 13 Leftovers, J Green _,. 655 3 29 B'erettes, L Willert__ 592 1 15 G'trotters, E Laidlaw 605 1 10 D Boys, H Stade ___ 689 3 23 Q'aires, H Finkbeiner 568 1 16 S'lites, R V'Dorsselear '778 3 17 D'outs, D Stade ____ 626 0 16 Cameos, P Bedard _- 581 4 22 H single: Claire Geiger __ 340 H triple: R VanDorsselear 778 H average: R.

Wallace, both of Zurich. Dashwood The Youth Fellowship of the EUB Church appointed new of- ficers, namely: president Norma Weigand; vice-president, John James; secretary, Eleanor Wolfe; treasurer, Rick Gaiser. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Keller, Mr. and Mrs Garnet Willert, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Restemayer and Mr. and Mrs: Lloyd Rader and the founders of that idea were working under a divine inspir- ation, putting their trust in God that the task entrusted to them would prove a succes and at the same time beneficial for what it was intended for. First, we greet the early di- rectors from whom the idea was conceived and brought to ma- turity and who had spent much of their valuable time on mak- ing plans to erect the building. It took patience and understand- ing to all agree to arrive at a sane decision and to be suitable to all. As the time passed on more were added to the staff. They, too, spent much of their time and all for the welfare of the aged who are in the community and elsewhere. From the turn- ing of the first sod to the com- pletion of the structure and to the opening of the home for service, all went in order. The people of the commun- ity, its surroundings, and others from afar are greatly pleased with the work entrusted to them and are certain that the future will also be pleasing. In their future lives we hope those men who took such re- sponsibility in many ways, that God will guide them and fully reward them for their good work.
