If anyone is interested At a meeting of the Senior Citizens‘ Council held last Wedâ€" nesday night, Mrs. J.J. McHale, Executive Director of the Senior Citizens‘ Recreation Center in London, Ontario, outlined the program underway in their city. The London group has been in operation for five years. In London the centre is open only three days a week so that the senior citizens will also parâ€" ticipate _ in . other â€" community activities. At the Senior Citizens‘ Recreaâ€" tion Center in London there are a wide range of activities such as a choir, craft elasses. discussion clubs, bridge clubs, millinery classes and games like darts and shuffleboard.

Finally, as the long funeral cortege reached the crossmarkâ€" faithfully In other rooms, in other houses, in other places, the first snowfall sets off grumblâ€" ings and complainings. The motâ€" orist visualizes stalled cars and frozen fingers; the homeâ€"owner sees Winterâ€"lengthening paths to clear, lanes to shovel; the breadearner thinks of fuel bills. All this may be very real but it is very much walking through life looking at the ground. One has to but raise one‘s eyes to realize that this first snow is a feast of beauty come to the barren desolation of November in the Northern Hemisphere. Sense the Magic My children, sublime sensory perceptors as only children are, quickly sense the magic upon the day. They dress and dash for the doors. And I would go with them. But musâ€" n‘t. All earth in a frurry of prepâ€" arations, in the slowing of sap and falling of leaves, in the dyâ€" ing of gardens and the stilling of waters, has awaited this meeting with the first snow, this changing of the seasons. The human organism reacts in subtle mysterious and subconâ€" scious ways and I, repeating the patterns of childhood deâ€" light, know that nothing can go wrong with this day. I proceed to the day‘s work but my mind goes back to the snows of home. Like a child‘s, my thoughts dash to skis and skates and toboggans and I want to get them out immedâ€" iately although I know I shall find little time for snowâ€"frolic. The first snow still excites me. I rise in the morning and the rooms have a strange new lightness and I know beâ€" fore I go to the window that the world will lie white. A tremendous peace comes. With the snow, beauty comes to the dull formalized rows of suburbia. The bare lines of the suburban boxes are softened by snow, by frillis along the winâ€" dowâ€"sills and shadows . and drifts on the roofs. The funcâ€" tionless, footâ€"high and privacyâ€" begrudging little hedge â€" rows are suddenly fair, their arms full of snow. The tooâ€"trim ornâ€" amental evergreens, laden with large slumbering flakes, might now be mistaken for little trees France once stopped by. _ _ Beauty comes to the heart SPARKS by willis Forbes The Season‘s First Snow Ethics are like children â€" alâ€" has them, and they are all difâ€" Rosedaie Plastics International Limited of Toronto is producing a group of eyeâ€"catching, yet practical toys that are especially muall boy» gan‘t resist the urge to take a toy apart the moment they receive it.

The drive for survival has sharpâ€" ened the Eskimo‘s perception so that like an artist, he sees snow in many lights abstracted from past experiences. But even an individual growâ€" ing up in the snowâ€"belts of the world, in the Ottawa Valley as I did, grows to know snow in many ways. Winter is long in the Ottawa Valley. One wit described it as a place where they have eight banks of it along the Driveway, the long purple shadows of it, the squeaky hardness of it unâ€" der xhool'!und feet, the earâ€" ly â€" morning unblemished perâ€" fection of it enticing schoolboy By JOAN FINNIGAN of the city.

I have stood in March on a skiâ€"trail and listened and heard far off down under the snow, the first tricklings of a Jittle creek, harbinger of another season. And I have skied the last sad snows of Spring lying on the north side of the slopes while hepaticas bloomed on the born and raised in the snow, stand these feelings.

A lady voter in Waterloo decided to get all the mileage she coulid out of an aldermanic candidate‘s offer to drive voters to the polls. She telephoned to ask for a drive to her polling station, cast her vote and then asked to be driven to Kitchener (of all places) to do her Christmas shopping. If you are torn between reading a good book or tackling a house cleaning job, may I suggest you sit squarely on your feelings of guilt by doing the latter.
