BLUE WATER REST HOMF Although the holiday week end started off cold and miser- able, Thanksgiving Day was sunny and warmer, making it possible for many of the Resid- ents to enjoy outings with family and friends, for which I am sure they were truly thank- ful. Our series of film nights for the winter season began on Monday evening. The films shown were "Niagara Park- way" and "Bayman" which seemed to be very much en- joyed. Refreshments were serv- ed. Visitors are welcome to come and enjoy these films. The Ladies Auxiliary held their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday evening. Slides were shown by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Farwell, teachers, of Stratford. These slides were taken while they were on a six week camping trip down thro- ugh the southern part of the United States, and according to the Residents reports, were 'ry informative and interest- ieg. Mrs. McBride favoured e. ith a Thanksgiving reading. Following the programme re- freshments were enjoyed. We are sorry to report that Mrs. Alexina McLaren is a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital, London. We welcome Mrs. Ada Dewar, formerly of Bayfield as a new guest here. On Friday evening the regu- lar bingo was held followed by Ratepayers (continued from page 1) • the basis of projected enroll- ment. As a result of the discussions, the board trustees requested that three people be nominated from the meeting to work with the hoard on this matter. They will look into the possibility of opening a school in Vanastra, as well as all other possibilities available. Mr. Turkheim said he "sensed" those present were not in favour of changing the school boundaries, and speak- ing as a father he did not blame them. However, he said, a solution to the problem must he found within the financial restrictions placed on the board. With Mr. Steckle. Mr. Bin- nendyk and Mr. Bridges work- ing' with the board, Mr. Turk - helm expressed optimism con- cerning a final solution being acceptable to everyone. In any case. N(r. Turkheim stated emphatically that no '.I)uff1ing of students would taakt, place until after this sc hoof ',Far has le .en comple'te'd. refreshments.
