Visiting committee named
by Auxiliary ladies
Although summer has not
officially arrived yet, it's coming
on strong. The Victoria Day
week-end offered most people
their first taste of summer in
eight months,
I'm writing this column two
days after the holiday. Like many
other persons, I'm sporting my
initial sun burn of the season.
Each year I vow to be more
careful and to acquire a gradual,
painless tan. My stinging face
tells me I blew another
resolution.
Summer resorts began their
busy season during the holiday
weekend. When trailer camps
opened their gates, cars and
trucks toting tents, campers, and
trailers poured in. City residents
also visited their lakeshore
cottages and cleared the
mustiness left by a long winter.
Perhaps the temperature was
cool for swimming, but it
provided a comfortable at-
mosphere for picnics. At this
time of the year, there aren't as
many insects to bug you. Besides
the ant armies aren't quite strong
enough to abduct your hot dog,
$4.0weit
drumstick, or piece of cake. Wait
a couple of months, though!
Some cattle and horses now
graze in fields. Unfortunately
few pastures have attained
adequate growth.
Around' our home, a few daf-
fodils and tulips still bloom. In
addition, my mother and I
planted multi-coloured petunias
in a round flower bed in the
centre of our front lawn. I con-
tribute the ideas for the design;
Mom supplies the green thumb, If
the ideas don't achieve, the
planned results, Mom's green
thumb has failed.
For Mother's. Day, I gave her
two blue spruce trees to grow in
front of the house. The plants
were rather small. In fact, I
feared a robin might pluck one
from the ground and add it to his
nest,
Among the treetops, tiny birds
now clamour for food. Sparrows
inhabit a nest under our porch so
we hear chirping inside the house
as well as outside. The other day I
also noticed six fiery orioles
bobbing amid the grass,

our green and yellow polka dot
lawn. Dandelions serve a pur-
pose, of course. How would bees
survive without them? If a bee
roved freely through our golden
crop, however, he could quickly
overindulge himself.
Speaking of showers, the blue
sky is turning gray, again. The
weatherman forecasts possible
thunderstorms. Towns' people
periodically check their
basements, while farmers
anxiously survey their swamped
crops. My father, with many
other men, is resowing his grain
field and hoping it won't be
flooded again.
Although we enjoyed fine
weather during the Victoria Day
weekend, some districts weren't
as fortunate. In our area, the
motorboats and canoes were
removed from the streets and
placed on the lakes and rivers
where they belong. Let's hope
they can stay there.
We endured a hectic, muddy
spring, but the signs of summer
are finally emerging. Whatever
surprises the weather holds in
store for us, it's encouraging to
note summer is coming.
Over a thousand visitors are

In the event of rain, however,
the huge Playhouse barn will

Students of the Belgrave school
visited the Home on Wednesday
afternoon and presented the
operetta "Jack and The Bean
Stalk". Props for the auditorium
and stage had been arranged in
the morning by the teachers and
stage crew with transportation
"provided by the parents.
One hundred students took part
in the presentation, directed by
Mr. Medd, with Mrs. Rodgers,

pered by a steady downpour of
rain, nonetheless attracted a

Alvin Smith expressed the
appreciation of the residents to

enjoyable performance. ,
The Gospel Custodians, a vocal

"Family Night" program
arranged by Mrs. Turner.
Members of the trio include Bev
Turner, Dave and Beth Prouty.
Mary Van Camp thanked the

A new committee was formed,
for the purpose of visiting those
Comrades who are "shut-ins" at
the suggestion of Jean Noels, who
will head the new group.
At the annual Zone Rally held
in Seaforth, Marg Thorndyke of
Clinton was re-elected to the
office of Zone Commander for
zone C-1.
Prior to the meeting, a Red
Cross Blood Clinic took Place
upstairs, and chairman for the
Clinic, Elaine Baynharn reported
a total of 110 donors gave blood,
The attendance was down
slightly from the last clinic as the
old saying goes - "it's good to the
last drop!'
Upcoming events for the

birthday party at Goderich June

A social hour followed the
meeting after which lunch was
served. The mystery prize was -
