One of our very first residents, who had the honor of presenting Mrs. Charles McNaughton with a bouquet of red roses on the oc- casion, and is still enjoying reasonably good health is our Grand Old Gentleman, Chester L.

There are also a number of original staff memb- ers still remaining, namely, Mrs. Ellen Horn, chief cook, Mrs. Beatrice Faber, assistant cook, Jerome Sweeney, orderly, Mrs. Rufus Turnbull, practical nurse, and Mrs. Laurene Cor- riveau, receptionist and office secretary. We, the original staff members have many fond mem- ories of the residents whom we have been associated with over his period of time, and recall many interesting and humorous occurances. This past week end also cel- ebrated the third anniversary of Huron Chidren's Aid Society Asks For Donations of Money and Other Gifts A Christmas Bureau has again to the Society's office, 181 been organized by the Children's Victoria Street N., Goderich Aid Society of Huron County.

I do not have any final figures, but I would guess that this was one of our most success- ful bazaara and possibly a rec- ord attendance. I am sure the members of the Auxiliary would agree that it was a huge success. It was gratifying to see so many families of our residents contrib- uting to the bake table and baz- aar articles, and many carne from long distances to attend. It makes us feel that any little extras we can do for the residents is appreciated by the families. Last Tuesday evening was filet night. The films shown were "Jacky visits the Zoo", quite a humorous picture and much enjoyed by the residents. The second film was "In Beaver Valley, " a picture of wild life in British Columbia. Since we rent these films from the I luron County Library, Goderich, we are wondering if any of our read- ers would volunteer to pick up these films or return them, if they happened to be malting a trip to Goderich, if so, it cert- ainly would help to solve the transportation problem, Thursday evening was bingo night again, and many residents turned out for the evening's entertainment and refreshments. Our craft room supervisor could use the large thread cones for projects in the hobby shop. If you happen to have any, you could drop them off at the Home, or if you give us'a call, perhaps we could arrange to pick them up at some convenient place uptown. We wish to thank Mr. Edwin Steckle for the bushel of delic- ious apples which he brought to the Home the other day. The Sunday evening chapel service was conducted by Rev. G. Wright, of Exeter.
