get around as a year ago. We sure are mak-
ing up.for the snow we didn't get last winter.
When one talks to friends you find
Christmas Day was a very long, long day.
there were a lot of delayed and mixed up
plans but luckily no one got sick or injured.
Some got caught in town doing their iast
minute shopping and had to make trips part
way home by tractor to feed the livestock.
No one was taking pictures of green grass
this Christmas.
Some were rather smug because they
celebrated a little early and had good
weather to travel. On Dec. 18 the families of
Don and Murray Forbes got together with
the families of their sisters Joyce and Mary
•Lynn at the home of their parents, Walter
and Grace Forbes in Clinton. Herb and Faye
Oakes drid boys had Christmas with Edna.
Oakes in Clinton on Friday before
Christmas.
This community was like a good many
others with the food cooked at one house and
no one coming to eat on Christmas Day but
then one or two days later you Manage to get
some of your guests there and open your
gifts and enjoy whatever is left of the big
bird. It brings back memories of other stor-
my Christmas Days which some seem to
have forgotten we had.
I tried to gather the news of the holiday
festivities and it was the same story — roads
were not ploughed, guests could not make it.
Some did but at great risk which is -never
worth the worry it creates. There were quite
a few different words to express peoples'
feelings—boring, nerve -wrecking, disap-
pointing and as I tried to sort out the confu-
sion in the material I had gathered I decided
it was not worth the effort. Everyone had a
Christmas meal somewhere, sometime, the
gifts got opened at least most of -than:
Everyone is safe and well and that is most
important.
Jamie Thompson from Antigonish, Nova
Scotia, was home for Christmas. Doug and
Gertrude Feagan were off to Edmonton
over the Christmas holiday for a visit with
son Carl and his family.
Murray and Roba, Heather and Jason
Lobb left on Dec. 16 for Naples Florida.
They spent a week with Roba's parents and
returned on the end of the storm.
Sylvia Whelan and son Shawn spent a
week with Murray and Marlene Forbes and
Mike joined them for Christmas. Barb was
home from school in Lambton.
• Bill and Kerry Johnston left Toronto to
spend Christmas on the 16th.
New Year's Day was much less confusing.
Don and Marilyn Forbes took 'Mr. and Mrs.
Cliff Ashton to London for dinner with Paul
and Laura. Russell and Olda Jervis were
guests at the home of Murray and Marlene
Forbes. Robin and Phyllis Thompson had
the Workman family as guests. The Jones
families got together in Clinton. Jim and
Verna Lobb went to goderich to spend the
day with the Hutchinsons. Herb and Faye
Oakes and boys were with Faye's mother in
Goderich for a meal. Doyle and Cathy Culle-
nand family were with the Cullens at the
home of Mildred Cullen in Clinton. The
Feagan families were over to Colborne
Township to Hugh and Marilyn Feagans
home. Bill and I went to the home of Bill and
Marg Makins in Bayfteld.
Now we can galoia'clE to normal everyday
affairs and start planning for that big trip
some of us plan to take somewhere,
sornetime this year.

Roba Lobb hosted the S.S. No. 4, Com-
munity Club meeting on Jan. 4. A pot luck
dinner was held and as usual we had much
too much food to eat. Eleven members
helped sew a quilt while vice-president,
Marilyn Forbes conducted the meeting.

of the November meeting which was held at
the home of Milena Lobb. thank you notes
were receivecrfrom P.E.P., theyamily Ser-
vices for the $25 sent for the Christmas fund,
Bill Lobbq and Alvin Jones. Roll call was
answered with payment of our membership
fees.
Treasurer Marlene Forbes gave the finan-
cial report and the annual report read by
Faye reminded us how busy we had been in
the past year. A report on the dinner held at
the Goderich Township Community Centre
was given. Even though the weather tried to
postpone this community get together a se-
cond time, a good turnout was present to eat
the turkey dinner which had been planned.

meeting on February 1. There will be a quill
to work on that afternoon.
