"'ick red fi rns to give Huronview service It was a good feeling this Sunday morning, as we welcomed Reverend Pick back to the service, after his absence due to illness. His message dealt with "Duty and Responsibility". In beautiful harmony, Elsie Henderson and Mabel Scott sang a lovely duet.An an- them was sung by the choir. Accompanist was Frank Bissett. The exceptionally warm weather is still with us, and Monday and Tuesday, the residents for the most part found relief under the trees. Helen Bradley has been kept busy, baking delicious peanut butter and oatmeal cookies. I have no idea as to how many dozens she baked, but they certainly taste great with our coffee in the morning. Wednesday, our new van arrived at Huronview. Residents and staff were out to give it the once over, and it is a fine addition to Huron - view. At the present time, the fate of the old van which served it's purpose well, is not known. Today is also "ice cream cone day", and by all reports sales are doing exceptionally well. We are hoping it will become a weekly affair. Thursday afternoon, Ed Stiles from Goderich was here to entertain the residents with his organ playing. Miss Margaret Mitchell, a resident of Huronview, pass- ed away this week. To members of her family, we extend our sincere sym- pathy. To the family of the late Mrs. Hilda Bolt, also a resident of Huronview, we offer our sincere sympathy. Hope you all have had a pleasant weekend, and you will be hearing from us again in next week's edition.
