CRESTENETS
By Aubrey Higgins
Did you ever close your mouth
and lips tight, then press your right
hand over your mouth and the left
one on top of that and try to see
how loud a noise you could make
through them? Well, that was the
amount of "Hoopla" made at
Pinecrest Nursing Home on the
following days. And I might say
even yet, the only difference, being
we are getting used to it now.
We are getting to know each
other so well, we can read each
other's thoughts when we meet
them coming down the hall. No, it
is not funny in any sense , of the
word. There are too many sick
people with the flu along with their
other ailments and on top of that,
the attendants are not immune to
and quite a number of them have
had to take days off.
Mame and I have been lucky so
far. I wonder if that "old pipe"
would have anything to do with
killing germs. I have had "ladies',
(that doesn't sound right somehow)
say that it would kill them. If the
"old boy" comes through this
time, he will get a real good
polishing up. The entire, atmos-
phere seems to have changed. At
least it seems to me like a great big
vacuum.
That is, in our own room, with
the &or closed, not a Sound is
heard. There are no cars around,
nothing but piles of snow. Once in
a while "the King" comes along
with his whiskers blowing out
sideways. Out of the sixty-one
residents, there were only nineteen
in the dining room for dinner. I
Help your
Heart...
Help your
Heart Fund
should stroke that out. That is only
statistics, but only given so you will
believe every word of what I am
about to write.
I spoke about it being a vacuum
in our room. The moment one
opens thejdoor the scene changes.
Well, I prepared you for it so here it
is. I grab the guard rail with both
hands and hang on until I reach the
dining room. The reason being,
those girls are going up and down
that hall so fast that if three or four
happen to hit the' same spot, at the
same time, well, it is just like riding
in a small car and meeting a big
truck at highspeed. One is not sure
for a moment just what will
happen. But they are doing the job
and I am informed the worst is over
and, quite a few will be around to-
morrow again..
We would like to thank willanY
people who sent cards saying how
much they enjoyed the bit of
writing I have done. Yep! We even
got a writeup in a Provincial
Magazine.
I have never said much more
about the King himself because all
of you people know him better than
I do. But right now, he deserves a
"pat on the back". One day in the
storm, he spent nearly all day up on
the roof,' something about the air
conditioners, and everyday during
the storm, he had that "blower"
going before six a.m. and he kept
all routes open at all times. This
makes us "old, bucks" feel safer
even if our "joy rides" are on the
exercise bike. '"
But we do have our problems up
here on "the hill', even if you are
on the outside can see no reason for
it. Yesterday I was down to the last
pipefull when the new supply
arrived 'and this flu thing has us all
strung up whether we like it or not.
Things like this may not be very
meaningful to the outside world,
but to us it is all very important.
By the way, I got three out of
four in the election. Not bad eh? A
number of us will be looking for a
city job during 1977. How about it!

'June Meaden of Port Albert. She
arrived , at the hospital at 12.17
noon and a baby girl was born that
evening at 8.15.
Both the ambulance and snow-
mobile were equipped with CB
radios. Brian Weaver operated the
snowmobile andSki-boose carrying
Mrs. Meaden and other snowmo-
bilers assisting were Elton Draper,
Ross Young, Brian Draper, Doug
Haskell, Pete Petrie, Jerry Weav-
er, Mike Beatty:
Last week a truck became stuck
on Highway 86, three miles west of
Lucknow, and blocked the road
during the storm. Local snowmo-
bilers and CB'ers worked on this
problem to try and reroute traffic
and set up a highway warning
system to stop traffic.
The local club was in touch with
the Ontario Provincial Police and
Department of Highways and
continually advised motorists, with
radio equipment, the open roads
and safest routes for travelling.
"We got a lot of travellers home
and we kept a lot off the road" was
Wayne's comment in speaking of
the work of Club 11 members.
