At the moment, the weather man seems to be smiling favour- ably upon us. Our flowers are defying the rather severe frost shich surrounded us over the weekend and contintte to bloom in profusion. Mrs. Boyes brought two beautiful large yellow roses to me this morning, the last two buds, which were picked yesterday. I am wondering if this might not be somewhat of a record for this time of the year. We are interested to know just how long our flowers can continue to bloom before being cut down by frost, and so we dis- couraged Mr. Amos Gingerich from pulling them when he ap- peared with his tractor and trail- er the other day. We had a full week of activity here at the home. Tuesday even- ing being film night, we had two interesting films. The first one was the Musical Ride, which many of you have enjoyed wat- ching at the London Fair two or three years ago. This was of great interest to our residents, many of whom stayed to see it through the second time. The 'second film was one of Portugal, a most informative one, showing how the Portugese earn their livelihood. One of their main. sources of revenue being from the manufacture of Port wine, and it was interesting to see how the grapes are picked in large wicker baskets and transported on the heads of the workmen from the vineyard to the winery where the labourers trample them with bare feet to extract the juice. The Women's Auxiliary held their monthly meeting on Wed- nesday evening. Mr. Gerald Gingerich showed slides of the recent chartered trip to the British Isles. Following the prog- ram, lunch was served. Thurs- day evening being bingo night, the residents enjoyed a few games before being entertained by the Zurich Band. Our hospital patients were also able to enjoy the music by means of the inter- com. Many favourable remarks were made by the residents, and we hope they will plan to visit us again soon. On Thursday afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer of Loafing Achers, St. Marys, called to visit with some of their old friends and acquaintenances of the St. Mary's district and who are now residents here. Mr. Sawyer carried his violin under his arm, and when he sat down in the sitting room proceeded to play many of the old familiar tunes. Needless to say, he soon had a large audience, and one or two of his listeners facoured with a little step dance. One of our residents was heard to remark, "that brings back wonderful mem ories." We are hoping that others in the community who might have such talents, might care enough to share some of their leisure time with our residents as did Mr. and Mrs, Sawyer. Friday evening, family night, was a huge success. We had a .. at BWRH full house. Visitors came from London, Sarnia, Goderich, St. Marys, Thedford, Seaforth, Hen- sall, Bayfield and surrounding community. Pictures were shown of Switzerland, and a group of singers from the Thames Valley Swiss Club, Mitchell area, in native custume and under the direction of Mrs. Munz, entert- ained the audience with their native songs and dances. At the insistance of Mrs. Munz, Mr. Risi joined in the singing and dances, which no doubt brought back many fond memories of his homeland. We are grateful to this group for their effort in help- ing to make this event such a success. We found there were several other Swiss families in our community, and we are pleased that they came out and hope they enjoyed the evening. Following the program, a delic- ious smorgasbord lunch with a Swiss flavor was served under the capable hands of Mrs. Ellen Horn and her kitchen assistants. Sunday evening -the chapel service was conducted by Rev. L. H. Kalbfleisch, of Zurich. Mrs. Margaret Hess was the organist, and we thank them for their interest.
