Bits and Bi by Helene Ballard Good morning! What a lovely sunny day. It sure makes a person feel like taking a deep breath and singing. Well with the unsettled weather we have had it has been rather difficult to do many outdoor things. It has been rather quiet here at Birchwood. I guess the on- ly exciting event was the arrival of a new pool table. Of course, while this was being installed in the lounge, there were a few "*sidewalk superintendents" around to watch and make sure it was all done in the proper man- ner. It is now all ready for the gentlemeg to use and, of course, any of the ladies who live here. This "old gal" never did learn to play pool, being raised by a grandmother and an aunt besides the nuns at school. The word pool was not mentioned, much _ less played, however, you're never too old to learn. We held our monthly birthday party last Thurs- day afternoon in the form of an ice cream social, which was enjoyed by all... to heck with calories. Now, if I may, I-would like to write about a subject we could all take time to think about. We had a most en- joyable time one afternoon last week with our ac- tivities director Joann LeBlance. It could be call- ed "a rap session", and the title could be "The Building of Bridges" which is really "The Bridge of Life." Six of the residents took part and we each in turn gave our ver- sion of our own "Bridge of Life", what we hope will be signposts for the younger generation to follow. We must, even in the twilight years of our life, keep on with our crusade of ; things that matter to us, . always hoping that they | will also matter to our children, and for all future - generations. 4 Another signpost on the IF PROPS.

Peroxide Cream ACNE MEDICATION with SKIN SOFTENER Commerce Pharmaceutics, Ltd. highway of life is to have the courage to persevere, to overcome these fears in our life. Very few of us do not ° have some stormy weather in our lives, but to have the ability to ride out these storms and to cruise into a safe harbour. This is here for all of us. We do not all have the best in life but we can all learn to do the best we can with what we have. These are the important things we can leave for future generations. You might say it's their "legacy" and their gift from us. The real survivors are those who live to a ripe old age who learned to read the signposts along the way, to build and cross the bridges of life and to remember "We did it all."' Now this week I have a bite: I am sure you will agree with this bite. A per- son works long and hard to keep his home and yard looking nice, but it seems there are always a few houses on every block that are real eyesores. The grass is like hay, the yard is full of papers, etc. This is very discouraging to those who take pride in their homes, so please folks, do cut the grass and pick up, then stand back and see how much nicer it looks. Thank you. And now, a wee joke: A sweet little old lady was driving on the highway at a high rate of speed when she was stopped by a police officer, who looked calmly at her and said, '*Lady, didn't you see the little sign back there that said 'speed 40 miles per hour'?" To which the lit- tle old lady said, "Officer, how could I see a little sign that said 40 miles per hour, when I was going 80 miles per hour?"' Until next week - so long.

Also Tim Bond, from Tips for unemployed students -- by Gord Lang, Student Placement Officer The resume Should also include any experience that you have had in the work force. Include things such as: all jobs you have held, starting with the most re- cent, give the dates of these jobs, outline the nature of the jobs and your respon- sibilities, when writing about work experience. You- could also mention any raises or promotions that you have received. Volunteer work looks especially impressive on a resume whether you have held a job or not. Showing that you are willing to give some of your free time for others will make an employer consider you before others. Job experience and volunteer work are the first things that a potential employer looks for, and when writing up your resume, pay special atten- tion to this section. The CECS apologizes for not having the planned 2nd Home Owner's Blitz on August 10th. Any jobs that you might have wanted done can be filled by phoning the CECS at 9283.

Mrs. Greengrass, Sister Monica and Mrs. Elsie White wish- ed all a nice time together. And others? We wish you all well. Schreiber has come a long way, baby. The suppers and the dances were great.
