Money was scarce but there was an abundance of love, family unity, high moral values and ingenuous ways of making do and making the best of bad situations. As she used expressions like, "redding up the kitchen", "closing a deal with a handshake" or "trusting your neighbour", her audi- ence was nodding in agreeâ€" ment. As Mary talked about her mother and her care of the family, many eyes were moist as they too remembered the hard work and sacrifice of parents when times were Bed & tough. Following a standing ovaâ€" tion for the speaker, Frances Murphy of the Hands Across The Year Committee, presented her with a scenic clock with a view of Westport from Foley Mountain. Previous to Mrs. Cook‘s address, everyone enjoyed a hot meal and brief talk by Marian McLeod of the North Leeds Senior Support Group?
