Eight hold rally
The Ontario Convention of the
United Senior Citizens of Ontario,
held at Hamilton's McMaster
University, in August, was the
subject of an address by Mrs.
Leona Lockhart, honourary
president of the zone eight rally
in the Legion Hall at Brussels,
October 12. The U.S.C.O. has
been formed to protect the rights
of senior citizens. Members may
contribute $1 annually to promote
this cause. They are also en-
couraged to do everything
possible for shut-ins and older
people.
Seventy-five registered 'at the
rally. Ed Martin, Brussels
president, and Reeve Calvin
Krauter welcomed the group.
Rev. Ed. Baker of Walton gave
an inspiring message on sharing,
thankfulness and love.
Mrs. W.J. Zerback, board
member of U.S.C.O. spoke on the
national convention in Niagara
Falls. The theme was, "Unity in
life, help in joys and sorrows".
Age is a state of mind.
Reasources are necessary for
seniors to work; Guy Lombardo
played in Quebec for seniors on
his 75th birthday. Seniors may
now live abroad and still collect
pensions under `certain con-•
ditions. Parliament is en-
couraging them to spend their
money.

Zerback distributed prizes to the
oldest lady, Mrs. Ada Wilson, of
Grand Bend; oldest man,
William Lawrence of Grand
Bend; couple married the
