Concerned townspeople earmarked it for the use of senior citizens and with the consent of the Oddfellows, the march was forward. Getting support from first, the "Oddfelows, and then the town council, businesses were contacted and all were behind the project. An LIP grant for $9,000 was. obtained for the labour and then the com- munity was canvassed for -funds for materials. j., ,. Response was good and as a result the whole building has been renovated. Largely through Mr. Ernie Chipchase and Custom Trailers, materials were forthcoming at the right time, and turned a rather dingy building into a place of beauty. Rich, . brown panelling is on the walls, recessed lightingis in the ceilings, which was lowered and the kitchen and bathroom were refitted.. Last Tuesday, April 6, the building was officially re- opened by Reeve John Baker, assisted by Mrs. Robert McKinley, and the keys to the building were handed over from the contractor Glen Koehler to the new president of the senior citizens, Percy Campbell. Thanks were expressed to all who had helped in any way to complete this renovation and hopes were expressed for a further grant from New Horizons to provide much needed furniture.

Alkexnade's father and the commentary provided by his brother. The tour included homes with beautiful gar- dens, old and modern buildings, factories, sports areas, beaches etc., and even took us to such h fairy-tale places as London Bridge and Arthur's Seat.

Easter hymns were sung and Elva read a story, "Obad and the colt". This is an imaginary story of a humble Jewish family living at the time of Jesus' ministry. At great sacrifice, they had purchased an ass and bred it for colting; it was this colt that Jesus sent his 'disciples for when . He rode into Jerusalem. The story illustrates the faith shown by Obad in lending the colt and that however humble we are we can all serve God. Mrs. J. McAllister, leader, Unit 4, chaired the program, opening with two poems, one of Gwen Whilsmith, "This Island of Me" and "Glory".
