Golden Glimpses . o . s e o ®e at BWRH Since we last saw you, Thanks, giving Day has come and gone. Even tho' the weather left much to be desired, we hope your hol- iday week -end was an enjoyable ,one. Here at the Home, Thanks- giving was observed with our usual festive dinner, tastefully prepared and served. The surroundings of the Home also took on an air of festivity with the attractively decorated bulletin board, the Thanksgiving turkey on the counter of the business office, and the dainty table centres on the dining -room tables. The credit for this is due to Mrs. Norma Siebert, our Cratf-room supervisor, who took time out during her even- ings at home, to dream up these little favours. Some of our residents were out for the occasion, others had their families here to visit with them. Out of town visitors were here from Sarnia, Detroit, Birm- ingham, Michigan, Kitchener and the surrounding area. The residents celebrating birthdays during the past week were Mrs. Sarah Gingerich and Mrs. Margaret Swatridge. Tuesday evening was film nigh again. The pictures shown this week were "Breath of Spring, " covering the area from the southern part of British Columbia into the mountain ranges, and the "Danube" which was a film showing the countryside from the outskirts of Hungary, the Bav- arian Alps and as far as Vienna. On Thursday evening bingo was played in the dining -room with more and more residents participating in the evening's activities. Many people have remarked favourably concerning our lawns OL CHUM ABOUT TWO YEARS To ZEA f1OWTO TALK,ANDABOUT carp, YEARS TO/EEP #/S MOUTH Slier.! and flower beds this summer. In all honesty, much of the credit is due one our our active resident Edwin Gardiner, who seems to have a green thumb. He is up with the birds in the warm weath er, and out with the garden hose, watering lawns and flower beds. Since the opening of the Home some of our residents in the hosp- ital wing have enjoyed having their own little flower gardens. Before the frost came, Mrs. Boyes could boast of some beaut- iful roses as well as a tall vine of morning glories just outside her .window. Mrs. Faist made a donation of tomato plants, which prod- uced some delicious tomatoes. I know this, as I was given a sample. Some of the other res- idents of the Horne also had a hand in helping to make a suc- cess of this little garden. Busy hands tend to make a more cont- ented heart. The United Nations Children's Fund is well-known for its life- saving activities in the fields of child nutrition, mother -and -baby care, control of epidemic child- hood diseases, and disaster re- lief. But it is not enough to protect children from disease or disaster; they must also be prot- ected from ignorance. So about thirty per cent of UNICEF's re- sources go into the fields of ed- ucation and vocational training. Every child needs the right kind of schooling, so that he can grow up to become a productive adult, able to make construct- ive contributions to the world's progress. Help UNICEF help children help the world!
