- EOI I I .y "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Comment: Although spring was officially here on Saturday, March 20, old man winter won't give up. the first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another - wrote Henry Van Dyke in 1899. The differ- ence between them is some- times as great as a month. It seems that things haven't changed much since Van Dyke's time and the best way to wish spring into existence is to act like is has already arrived and plan accordingly!

To Our Sick and Shut-Ins Countless as flowers in a love- ly garden are the wishes we send you today. From all the members who are thinking about you...and hope recovery is well on the way! From An Old Recipe Book Methuselah ate what he found on his plate and never, as people do now did he note the amount of the calorie count...he ate because it was chow. He wasn't disturbed as at dinner he sat...destroying a pig or a pie. To think it was lacking in granular fat, or a couple of vita- mins shy. He cheerfully chewed every piece of food...untroubled by worries or fears. Lest his health be hurt by some fancy dessert and he lived over nine hundred years!
