Golden Glimpses . m p .
Last week was Senior Citizens
week, and 1 believe from speak-
ing to people from other centres
that varying amounts of entert-
ainment was planned over the
past week in most of the Nurs-
ing Homes, Homes for the Aged
and Rest Homes, so perhaps a
little more attention is being
paid to our Seniors than once
was the case. Perhaps our next
thoughts will have to be alofig
the line of realizing that we
must not over-estimate the stem
ina of our Seniors and instead of
cramming all of our entertain-
ments and activities into one
week, remember them all year
and spread our attentions acc-
ordingly.
Last week was a very busy one
around our Home. Last Sunday
evening the members of the
Christian Reform Church, Exeter,
gathered here and presented a
delightful musical program,
followed by a social time with
residents, after which coffee
was served.
On Tuesday afternoon, anoth-
er group of ladies attended
afternoon tea at the home of
Mrs. Grace McCracken , Grand
Bend, and these ladies too ret-
urned feeling elated with their
visit.
On Wednesday afternoon the
Ladies Auxiliary of the Home
entertained the residents here
to their annual picnic. The
afternoon consisted of a sing
song under the direction of Miss
Meda Surerus and Mrs. Martha
Blackwell. A number of contests
were conducted throughout the
afternoon. Mr. James Murray
.entertained the residents to old
tyme music on his violin accom-
panied on the piano by Mrs.
Bill Masse. We are indeed grate
ful to these people for taking
time out in the middle of the
afternoon to make the program
more enjoyable for the residents.
Following the program, a pic-
nic supper was served complete
with delicious salads and all
the goodies you could imagine.
On Thursday evening, Mrs.
Orval Storey presented a prog-
ram consisting of step dancing
tapping and other dances along
with piano and guitar instrum-
entals. Mr. Nelson Howe play-
ed the violin and was accomp-
anied on the piano by Mrs.
Feltz. The young people taking
part were; Miss Gloria, Joan,

ment, refreshments were served.
We regret that Mrs. Laura
Ings is presently a patient in
Seaforth General Hospital.
The sympathy of residents
and staff is extended to the
family of the late Mrs. Charl-
otte Schnell.
On Friday afternoon there
seemed to be a lull in entertain-
ment so a bus ride was arranged
for a number of residents.
On Saturday evening, bingo
was enjoyed.
We welcome Mrs. Albert
Dougall who has come to reside
with us.
The Sunday evening chapel
service was conducted by Rev.
Lloyd Kalbfleisch of Zurich.
Mrs. Kalbfleisch presided at the
organ. A trio consisting of Mrs.
Earl Deichert and her two daugh-
ters delighted the congregation.

Kenya man studies bees
A resident of Nairobi, Kenya,
spent last week in Zurich with
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Ferguson,
working with Mr. Ferguson in
the beekeeping operation. The
purpose of the visit was for Geo-
rge Abayo to study the beekeep-
ing system in Canada, and take
back as much knowledge as
possible to his native Land.
At the present time the bee-
keeping business in Kenya is not
too flourishing, and so the gov-
ernment of that country has sent
a team of top agricultural stud-
ents to Canada to pick up all
the information possible. Mr.
Abayo has been enrolled in the
University of Guelph since Jan-
uary of this year. Although he
would like to stay for a couple
of years, his government is now
enxious to have him come back
and teach the bee industry to
their people.
According to Mr. Abayo,
the climate in Kenya should be
ideal for bees, and their crops
all year round should be able
to produce honey in abundance.
The only bees presently in their
country operate in log hives,.
and the operation is not too suc-
cessful.
As well as observing all the
operations at the Ferguson Apiar)
in Zurich, Mr. Abaya also dug
in and helped with some of the
actual work in connection with
beekeeping. He told the Citizen
News that he enjoys Canada in
the present climate, but was not
too fond of the cold winter
weather which greeted him on
his arrival last winter.

rest of the staff at Ferguson Apiaries. Centre is the proprietor of the local firm, William Ferguson,
while on the right is Danny Schilbe. Mr. Abayo spent one week in Zurich at the Ferguson establ-
ishment.
