Local senior._ citizens -
attend zone spring rally
BRUSSELS — Senior
citizens have much to share
with the younger generation.
This was the theme of Rev.
B. DeJonge, minister of
Exeter Christian Reformed
Church, who conducted
devotions at the spring rally
of Zone 8 Senior Citizens held
in the Legion Hall, Exeter,
on Wednesday, April 27.
Mr. DeJonge said that the
younger generatigon can
learn many things from the
experiences of the older
generation and should
respect the older generation
and consult senior citizens.
Each generation, he felt, can
be a help to each other with
the result that society will
have stability.
Members from 16 of the
senior citizens' clubs in this
zone were present, with a
total attendance of 119.
Brussels Seniors' Friendship
Club was represented by Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Hooper,
Fred Thuell and Edwin
Martin.
The meeting was con-
ducted' by president Percy
Blundell. The efficient
secretary for Zone 8 is Mrs.
Irene Johns. Members from
each club gave reports on
their year's activities.
Besides sociability pro-
grams, games and lunch,
some of the clubs raise funds
for charitable purposes.
Excellent entertainment
at this meeting was provided
by a choir of 80 children from
Grades 2 and 3 of Exeter
School; choruses by ladies
from Dashwood;
strumentals by Bob We ' er
of Clinton and anz
Boogemans, Da wood.
Lunch was provide ' 1•the
Exeter ladies.
Senior citizens are one of
the country's natural
resources and contribute to
the lives and well-being of
others. Everyone at this
meeting had an , enjoyable
day as well as learning from
the knowledge and exper-
iences of fellow senior
