The executive committee of the
Bayfield Ever Young Senior
Citizens were entertained along
with other committees from sev-
eral districts by the Grand Bend
Golden Age Club, at a seminar
held in Grand Bend on Wednes-
day, May 12, 1976.at the Village
Inn Retreat Centre. Registration

Love and the Reeve of Grand
Bend, Robert Sharen. The "Jolly
J's" of London provided enter-
tainment in the morning. The
"Jolly J's" are a group of twelve
aged 65 to 79 years and so mus-
ical and full of life. .
Mrs. Augusta Ceislar played
beautiful old time music on the
saw and the popular 79 year old
Mr. Brock sang in a lovely scot-
tish voice, two old time scottish
favourites. A beautiful lady of
73 in June, Mrs. Sambell, sang
two lovely solos and danced to all
the music. She has more energy
than many people half her age.
Miss Doris Dun sang "Bless This
House".
Many selections were played
for a sing song until noon, when a
delicious roast beef dinner was
served.
After dinner, for a short while,
we Made many new friends,

began. The Quest speaker, Miss
Angela Armitt, of the University
of Western Ontario entertained.
We all probably expected a rather
dry tall., but a funnier or more
enjoyable speaker, I don't believe
any of us have listened to before.
Her subject was laughter. She
said there were three things in
life; God, Human Folly and
Laughter, and she chose to speak
on the latter. She told us she
had a plaque in her kitchen which
reads, "When you are down in
the mouth think of Jonah, he
came out alright". She had such
a repertoire of hillarious jokes,
that many in the audience were
laughing and wiping their eyes.
She said middle age is when you
know all the answers, and nobody
asks you any questions.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox in . her
book of poems, wrote, laugh and
the world laughs with you;
weep and you weep alone. Talk
happiness the world is sad
enough without your woe.
Laughter is being alive, cheerful
and seeing the funny side. One
little story she gave she heard in
France; which maybe I shouln't
quote but will; When she asked
what a French breakfast is a hot
she was laughingly told, "A
French breakfast is a hot roll
with a little honey". She men -
6y Mllima Erickson
tioned her admiration for the
majority of the teenagers and
said, our grandfathers sniffed
snuff; the young people have
gone a little further, but perhaps
not as many as are believed to be.
After many more stories, she left
us with the Irish Blessing, "May
the road go with you, may the
wind be always in your back,
May the sun shine gently on your
face. May the winds blow softly
in your fields and may God hold
you in the hollow of his hand
until we meet again."
She was certainly given a
standing ovation of thanks.
The Jolly J's then took over
the remainder of the program
with music. A sing song and Miss
Doris Dunn and Mrs. Brock sang
"When You and I were Young
Maggie" and were dresed suit-
ably in costume for the song.
Mrs. Ross Love, M.C. for
Grand Bend thanked everyone for
coming and we closed with the
song "Till We Meet Again".
Our regret was that all of our
members could not have enjoyed
the day with us. A lovely supper
was served before leaving for
home at,6:00p.nm.
