Swinging
Seniors party
at beach
The Blyth Senior Citizens met at
St. Christopher's Beach, Goderich
on July 24 at noon and sat down to
a sumptuous pot luck dinner.
Following the dinner, president
John Hesselwood called on Lloyd
Walden to lead a sing-song and
Harv McDowell accompanied on
his mandolin. There were several
June and July birthdays so “Happy
Birthday” was sung to Les and
Shirley Rutledge, Gene and Alvin
Snell, Selena Machan, Millar Rich
mond, Lloyd Walden, Effie
McCall, and Alberta Stevens. The
secretary read the minutes and Iso-
bel and Bill Craig thanked the soci
ety for the sympathy card they had
received. John made several
announcements. An invitation was
received from Spinrite Yarns to
tour their establishment and it was
decided to go on September 4 at 1
p.m. He also announced a Variety
Show to be held at McKay Hall,
Goderich August 23 and 24. A
nominating committee was set up
to bring in the new officers for the
coming year: Erma Cook, Phyllis
Boak, and Effie McCall. John
closed this meeting and turned it
over to the games committee.
Erma Cook conducted a fun
game called Popping Corn and
before long we were all hopping
and popping around like com in a
corn popper. Isobel Craig had a
“lemon relay ” this was shoving a
lemon with a yard stick. The
women won this game. The next
one was a Peanut game - attempt
ing to drop peanuts off a spoon into
a small jar. Feme and Harv
McDowell got that one. Alvin and
Gene Snell won the balloon game
by sending their balloon the far
thest.
The next one was “How well do
you know your husband?” Feme
McDowell and Effie McCall
proved they knew their husbands
the best. “Throwing the frisbee”
was won by the relay team of Mil
lar Richmond, Lloyd Walden and
Feme McDowell. Vera Hessel
wood had three guessing games.
Alvin Snell guessed the right
amount of jelly beans - 79 to be
exact. Mary Walden and Phyllis
Boak guessed what was in the
wrapped parcels. After the games,
the picnic ended and everyone
reported a good time.
