By Florence Wilkinson Most of the seniors who are alive today can remember Canada as wide open spaces. Sunday after- noon stroll was a stroll through the woods or through the park - not through the mall or through the downtown streets.

He delivered papers to the farm homes all along the new Queen E. highway - by throwing them out the window, often at the speed of sixty miles an hours, or faster if the paper Tun had been late.

Mid-January comes very quickly! Maybe you can ask Santa Claus to bring you some ideas for Christmas. Then you will be sure to have them in time for the January meetings.
