"Making the rally a great suc-
cess. Mrs. Zerback told of the
National Convention held in
Sidney, Nova Scotia, and gave
details of the Senior Citizens
Flag.
The gold in the flag stands for
golden age, the white which
occupies the greater portion
stands for the remainder of the
senior citizens lives and the blue
stands for being true blue to
Canada.
The maple leaf lined with gold
gives all a token of unity which
reflects in a firm belief in the
organization, "The United Senior
Citizens of Canada."
"The originality of the leaf
stands for the satisfaction of us
knowing we are recognized as
Senior Citizens and respected as
-such" she said. The flag can be
purchased. She closed with poem,
"Just for Today."
During the morning, Mrs.
Zerback had been called on for a
few words and she advised all
clubs to have a clubboard when
they attend rallies.
The rally was chaired by Zone
President, Mrs. Mary Grigg, and
opened with "0 Canada"
followed by the Lord's Prayer.

silence was observed in memory
of deceased members. Welcomes
were given by John McCutcheon,
Warden of Huron County, Mayor
Deb Shewfelt of Goderich and
Mrs. Leona Lockhart, honourary
president of Zone 8, who also
spoke during the afternoon
session.

executive meeting was held

members from each club beside
the Zone Executive. From the
•

splendid account of the Ontario
Convention in St. Catharines this
summer which she and Mrs.
Grigg' attended. "Voice"

The convention included a trip
to the Niagara area and a dinner
given by the Ontario Government
at which the Honourable Pauline
McGibbon was the speaker. She
reminded the audience that seven
years ago the government set
aside one week for Senior
Citizens. "All seniors should
think to brighten the corner
where they are and thereby make
someone else happy," she said.
Reports were given by the
president of each of the eleven
clubs, and each club gave a ,
number, either vocal, in-
strumental, a reading or some
other instruments,

Mr.. Livingstone, an ex -
policeman who urged members
to live with hope. Following this,
Emmerson Inglis, president of
Zone 1 spoke, and urged all to
rely on the USCO to make the
club a success. "It has done more
for citizens than anyone else in
the province," he said:
