PRICES EFFECTIVE UNTIL SATURDAY SEPT. 6 On Friday, August 22nd, your correspondent and her husband went for their regular monthly visit to Toronto to see my mother. Of course, we were armed with the pictures that we had taken on our trip, which she appreciated. We also got caught up on some of the mail she had received especially cards, on the occasion of her special birthday, birthday, the ninetieth. After having lunch in the Holiday Inn, we went by taxi down to the waterfront and sat right beside the lake. I was pleased with comparing it to what we had seen awhile away. We do live in a wonderful wonderful part of the country ourselves. ourselves. For a while we watched the ferries plying their way across to the Toronto Islands. My mother was delighted with her day and told us how much she enjoyed it. It was with sorrow and regret that we heard the news from her later that night that a cousin of mine in Port Hope was killed in a car accident recently, and his wife and one of their two little girls were both taken to area hospitals, the wife still confined with serious injuries in Cobourg. Please pray for this family, the. Nixon's. My aunt, Lily Pointer, will have to take over the care of her two great granddaughters for the time being. On Sunday, August 24th, Rev. Heather Smith's topic for her sermon was on aging. In the time reserved for the children, she picked out and read a couple of pages from a book which she intends to read when more children are in attendance, about all the pills older people have to take. Those in advanced years are not hard to get along with, provided certain things are kept in mind. Those in nursing homes or hospitals, can become become very lonely if they do not get visits from their own friends and family. Also, the art of "touching" is very important. This is especially true if one's spouse has died first. Tom and I had a very pleasant half day on our last time with Art and Pearl before boarding the train to Calgary on the reuturn part of our trip. The first stop that morning was Steveston Wharf. There were prawns (large shrimp) for sale, frozen, five pounds for $25.00. We witnessed crabs being sold live, $50.00 for about 22 pounds. One man had a lot of round crab traps, laced with orange-coloured nylon ropes that the crabs would not chew their way through. Both my brother and I kept our cameras busy. It reminded me of the Fishermen's Wharf in San Francisco, only on a miniature scale. Our next visit was to Sears. A film of Art's was ready but ours would have to be mailed on to us later. Meanwhile, much to the amusement of Tom, I bought a dress there, and up-to-date polkadot. He says "as if there were no Sears stores back east". Perhaps this was an example of impulse buying, the kind sales people so much try to promote. We purchased last minute souvenirs and had lunch at Woodwards. We were able to get a couple of hours of relaxation before it was time to leave the condominium for the ride to the VIA Station. Our eyes feasted on a final look at Vancouver's mountains, which was also recorded on film. Art and Pearl stayed with us as long as possible. Then we claimed our coach seals, and once our tickets had been surrendered to the conductor, shortly after we boarded, we were free to go to the observation car, snack bar or dining room, as we chose. In my next column, I will give you my description of this part of the journey, which is unique. Wednesday, August 27 th was the final night of the summer Bingo season. Those in charge are quite pleased with the support this event has been given. Next Wednesday, September 3rd marks the beginning of the alternate Wednesday fall season.
