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! • CB'ERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 '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.
