Mrs. Lila Radford arrived home on April 25, from North Palm Beach, Florida, where she has been living in a condominium, first with her husband George, for 25 years and after his passing, alone, except for family and other guests at times. Since 1947, she has lived for six months in Florida and six months in Blyth. When George Radford was living and had the responsibility of his Blyth construction business, their stay in Florida was only a week or two in length on their first trip south. Each year it grew increasing­ ly longer until, since George’s death, a half-year's change of cli­ mate is al Lila’s disposal, and she makes beneficial use of it each year. She likes all aspects of this state especially the weather, as did her husband. When they moved into their condo complex so did other families who are still living in it which has helped a firm friend­ ship to develop among them all. "I am alone only when I wish to be," Lila says. The game of bridge is one of her favourite pastimes, and finding a foursome poses no prob­ lems. Living nearby are single ladies. Besides bridge games, they go off to bingo and enjoy other entertainment. Now back in her Blyth home on Sunset Drive for six months, she has reasons for feeling fortunate and thankful: the proximity of her only daughter Diane Radford's Blyth home; the short distance away from her granddaughters, Valerie and Shelley and great­ grandchildren, Cole and Caitlin; and having around her, her precious Blyth friends and neighbours for THE FAMILY OF JOHN & RETA BLAKE cordially invites relatives, friends and neighbours to celebrate with us their 50th bedding Anniversary ON SUNDAY, MAY 12,1991 at Blyth United Church Open House 2 to 4 p.m. Best Wishes Only Please M .'ZZZZ. six months. The most recent bless­ ing is the fact that Lila’s stubborn cold contracted shortly after her arrival in Blyth, which has kept her bed-ridden for a week, has decided to take its departure. Our wish for Lila Radford is that her 47th year of dividing each year evenly, time wise, between south and north (this fall it will begin) will prove as pleasant, as beneficial and as beau­ tiful as any former year, even more so, if that is possible. Frank and Dorothy Elliott are the latest Blyth residents to return from Florida. They returned on April 28 after an enjoyable six-months in Lakeland, where they have stayed other years. They enjoy Lakeland’s Parks, its spacious swimming pool and sauna, dance floor, up-to-date equipment rooms, etc. Dances are held twice a month and Frank and Dorothy did not miss one. These Elliotts are sold on the benefits of walking. Five days weekly along with friends, they walked at least two to three miles a day. At home, Dorothy finds relax­ ation at her easel finishing or beginning an art piece. This year was no exception. Dorothy's moth­ er, Mrs. Peck is a well-known Huron artist. During these relaxation months, they enjoyed entertaining friends and relatives: Dorothy's sister and her husband from Englewood, Ont., and her brother, a six-month resi- Kll ONTARIO K MARCH OF DIMES HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO NOTICE TO VILLAGE OF BLYTH RATEPAYERS AND RESIDENTS I, Albert A.
