The Citizen, 1997-10-22, Page 8PAGE 8. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1997. AuburnThe news from WI remembers the Compiled by Kay Lapp Phone 526-7264 Silver Tops enjoy band The Silver Tops were guests at Grand Bend Legion for the Zone Rally of which the Golden Agers were the host on Oct. 14. Grace was sung and lunch served. Following this greetings, convention reports, etc. were given. The guest speaker was Rev. Grant Darling, a very amusing priest. However, there was a great deal of meaning and religion besides all the laughs in his speech. Draws were then taken and a num­ ber of people were lucky winners. The meeting ended after the closing prayer and God Save The Queen with entertainment by the Kazoo Band. They sang and played old familiar songs which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. They really could have 'played all night' and still been enjoyed. On Oct. lb tne October meeting of the Silver Tops was held at Auburn Community Hall. Dinner was served at noon with Dorothy Grange and Ila and Tom Cunningham in charge. Ila had made a lovely birthday cake and the lady with the birthday was Tina Empey. Happy Birthday was sung to her for the occasion. President Margaret Hildebrand opened the business with a reading "October's Coming" followed by a very amusing "So I’m 80". Members were reminded of the meeting in Dungannon on Oct. 18 for Fun Day and will be responsible for two numbers. It was decided to send $25 to the Alzheimer's Society. Guests for the day were Zone 8 Field Representatives Louise Haytei and Gwen McKellar. They displayed the US CO new banner with the colours gold for age, white for purity and blue for loyalty to country. They are volunteers who attended the convention in Hamilton. They told things that the USCO has brought about. There is the contact office in Toronto, owned but not too large. Three apartments on the second floor help with finances. Members send resolutions there. They spoke about the medical cards which everyone should have and use. They told of cheaper long distance calls available and spoke of placing deceased members' names in the Book of Remem­ brance in "The Voice". They were thanked for their advice and presented with bouquets by the president. Ethel Ball and Dorothy Grange then showed pictures of their trip to Malta, Tunisia and small islands. Members saw the blue of the Mediterranean and the differe colours in the Red Sea. The womi said they had quite an adventu riding camels across the desert in a sandstorm! The churches, temples, windows, statues, the cross, etc. were beauti­ ful, but all in one colour - a greyish beige. The main greenery seemed to be cactus, particularly the desert pear. It flowers but is used as fences due to thickness and thorns. They finished showing everyone the "rose stone", pink, rose-shaped stones as well as golden earrings that they had purchased. Questions were asked and answered and the meeting ended. Several members of the Silver Tops attended the Fun Day at Dungannon on Saturday, Oct. 18. Grace was sung and delicious cake and ice cream served. Dungannon Seniors were assisted in serving by a number of school girls. After lunch everyone was welcomed by their president and the various groups asked to present their entertainment. Aubum Silver Tops were first. Ernie Durnin, with Nancy Park, accompanist, played several harmonica numbers. President Margaret Hildebrand then gave an amusing reading "Mom Says". Then members enjoyed various musical numbers and speeches by the senior citizen groups present. The draw was then taken. After this the band started to play and the dancing began. The Auburn WI met at the Community Hall on Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. The Ode and O Canada were sung with Laura Mae Chamney, the pianist and the Mary Stewart Collect said in unison. President Tina Empey handed the meeting over to Kay Lapp, the agriculture and Canadian industries convenor. She had received a video cassette on "Through The Years" from the Minister of Agriculture which her husband Elliott Lapp showed. This took members back from 1886 - 1996. Things have certainly changed through those years. Many of WI members grew up with the teams of horses working in the fields, ploughing, mowing, reaping, etc. They remember the old threshing gangs. There was very little hydro and cows were milked by hano. however there were still registered and champion ones. It showed the working together of the 'good old days'. There is very little of the old threshing of grain, the stooking of corn and the mowing of hay, taken by wagonloads to be thrown up into the hay loft. It is certainly a more ‘ advanced age now. Kay closed with a special poem on "Life", which the 42 citizens of a Quebec town had lost in a recent accident, and followed it with a Thanksgiving prayer. Business followed and minutes were read by Marion Haggitt in the absence of the secretary. Jean Plaetzer, Betty Archambault and Tina Empey told of conven­ tions, anniversary celebrations that they had attended and told of upcoming events. Roll call was answered with memories from before electricity. Some were very amusing - it would be sadly missed now. There was a fair attendance. The November meeting will be under the direction of education and cultural activities Convenor Laura Mae Chamney and Evelyn Flett. Grace was sung and the lunch committee, Teresa Roetcisoender, Mildred Lawlor and Bernice Anderson, served fruit bread and grapes.

Aubrey Toll then sang a lovely solo. Scripture for the day was from Ecclesiastes 1 or The Preacher. It speaks of generations coming and going but the world with the sun, moon, winds, rivers, etc. remains with us forever. The New Testament was froml John. In this John is telling others that the truth is being told about Jesus. This is so they can also get to know and believe in the teachings. Also from 3 John was the story concerning Nicodemus who could not figure out how a man could be bom again. Christ replied that the Continued on page 11 Correction There was an error in last week's news. Three girls were guests at K and H. Lapp's - one was from Indiana, U.S.A.
