bitehice od brisfs We started the New Year at Birchwood in fine style, having a visit from the ladies of the Pentecostal Church hosting the residents' birthday party. It was a festive affair with all the ladies dressed as clowns with unique clown faces, lots of balloons and prizes, and singing and generally clowning around, making this par- ty extra special. Father Pottie visited as usual with his much looked forward to sing- a-long, residents parti- cipating, Madame Jean with her accordion and John Hachey on _ the mouth organ, always an enjoyable evening. The C.W.L. Schreiber hosted a Penny Auction, this always goes down well, with the anticipa- tion of winning some- thing. Our under 100 Bowling League start- ed the New Year in full swing at the Rec Centre, once again all Seniors are welcome, every Wednesday at 10 a.m. Wednesday after- noon is Bridge from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. with our friends from Schreiber, again anyone wishing to join-us are welcome. Every Monday after- noon 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. we are again busy in the Lapidary Room polish- ing, cutting and sorting rocks for jewellery mak- ing. Vivian Ludington and Joan Bennet volun- teer their expertise and supervise the creation of lovely costume jewell- ery. Which by the way is being displayed at the Tuck Shop at the Hospi- tal, and can also be purchased there, as well as at Birchwood. We had a super even- ing on January 29th when the Terrace Bay Schreiber Lions Club hosted a Bingo for all the seniors in the area. Transportation was pro- vided for Schreiber resi- dents to attend. They brought their own equipment, making it a very professional affair. They are a very gener- ous group turning out en masse and giving full support and attention to any resident who need- ed help. The cash prizes were very generous and the evening was a great success, the residents are still talking about it. We would like to thank Ken Davis for his kind- ly interest ard co- operation in helping to make this event possi- ble. The evening ended with Joann wheeling in a trolley of delicious pas- tries and a lovely Cheese tray beautifully decor- ated and donated by Costas. Thank you Lions, come again any- time. All the news for now, talk to you next month.

Not all people en- joy vigorous health, yet there are many seniors like Bill Holder of Hurkett, Ontario, who, despite having Parkin- son's disease, chops wood and digs pota- toes at the ripe old age of 84. Another, Albert Mels, goes moose hunt- , ing with his wife in the fall. 'Don't Play Dead"' is a stirring revelation of aging, and should not be missed.
