Don't forget the regular monthly meeting October 10 in the auditorium of Richmond Hill United at 2 pm. It is election day and the exewtive for the co- ming year will be chosen. These evenings are given by Travelways for the enter- tainment of senior citizens from the whole Metro and surrounding area. and as the seating capacity of the Minkler Auditorium at Se- neca is limited to 1,100, each club is allotted so many seats. Members are invited by St. Gabriel’s Anglican, cor- ner of Bayview and Crosby Avenues. to help celebrate at their Centennial garden party on the church grounds Saturday from 2 to 11:30 pm continuously. There are only a few tic- kets left for the color tour on October 11. They should be picked up at the club room. Deadline for tickets is October 6. There will be another Travelways evening at Se- neca on October 9 when another bus seating 44 will be available. Those wishing to attend should leave their names at the club room with Mrs. Mary Read, as it is a case of “first come, first served". Four very interesting tra- vel films were shown, inter- spersed with some lively sin- ging and humorous enter- tainment by a very capable master of ceremonies, Vince Mountford of Brampton. who had the audience in an uproar of laughter with his humor, and the rafters rin- ging with the "oldies" such as “The Sunshine Of Your Smile" which nearly raised the roof. Mr. Mountford was the master of ceremonies for the Richmond Hill beard-gro- wing contest which was won by our own Mr. Centennial, Norman Stephenson. On September 18, 44 members of Richmond Hill Senior Citizens' Club gathe- red at the club room, 71 Centre Street East, and boarded a Travelways bus bound for Seneca College in Willowdale. They were guests of the Travelways Bus Company, which is ce- lebrating its 25 years of ope- ration.

Mrs. Lord is returning to Van- couver this week. Mrs. Harry Lord of Van- couver paid a brief visit to the Hill last week. The for- mer Mona Robertson, a longtime resident in this area, Mrs. Lord stayed for awhile with her son. Edgar, in Toronto and visited a number of friends in her old hometown. The group enjoyed a pot luck supper provided by June Campbell and her as- sistants and following the guest speaker dealt with se- veral items of business. A career in real estate was also most successful but led to alienation of her husband and children and she found herself afraid of life itself. Escape came through al- cohol and sleeping pills un- til one day she collapsed and was rushed to hospital. On recovery she wore “a and was rushed to hospital. On recovery she wore “a tight-fitting mask. No one knew my screaming heart. I didn't want anyone to know I couldn’t make it on my own. I suffered from guilt and horror. remorse and shame. I then reached out my hand and God took it and led me out of desola- tion slowly but surely right to the foot of the cross." With His help she was able to regain her family's love and rid herself of her fears and problems. She took pride in keeping up with her contemporaries and pride in her accomplish- ments and took full credit. “It never occurred to me to give credit to anyone else." Mrs. Clark, speaking from her own experience, told of her fight against polio. when the doctor said, “She will never walk again. I doubt if she will ever stand again." But she did stand and she did walk. She graduated from the University of To- ronto, taught music for a while, then married and had three children. “I took all the credit," she admitted, “and gave God none." “Have you any problems? Have you any hurts? Have you any broken or damaged relationships? God can heal them all," Mrs. Pat Clark of Willowdale told members of the Mary & Martha Guild of the Presbyterian Church at their September meeting held Wednesday evening of last week.
