■f l T EC DISTRICT IN 1 - WHICH I LIVE 0 By Marlene Colburn I guess all of us, at one time or another, have wished that we lived in a better district. Maybe the houses where we live look old and weather-beaten, but thera ' is a certain beauty in each if we would only study thorn. Although they are old now, at one time they were considered fashionable. Like our generation, young people consider tho elder people old-fashioned, just like these houses and forget that they were young once themselves. Living in our house all of my life, I havo become attached to tho district and its frienlly faces. Aci-oss from our house.“we haven’t the usual row of hou bs facing us, but the city’s well known General Hospital. As most of you know, in front of it a park with welcoming trees and Howes ' s. in sdmner it is pleasing to s g somo pationta, who have progressed, bCing allowed to come out into “the sunshine and smell the gorgeous fragrance of tho flowors. Being‘allowed to cane out into the park, brings a ray of sunshine into tho livos of tho patients. In the summer the park is like a green velvet carpet and in the winter is like a cape ' of ermine, I believe our park with the blue sky and filmy, white clouds behind it would make a picturesque scene for any artist to paint and be prottd of. In tho sunner wc see nurses in their while starched uniforms wheeling patients in their wheelchairs around the park. At the side of tho hospital, we often see doctors and nurses playing tennis together on tho tennis“c curt in their spare time. Wo ore certainly centered in a medical area. The neighbours seen much friondlior in tho summer, because they got to know each other bettor, when they talk over the fence, or when they arc cutting ar watering tho lawn. In our district there are quite a few olomentaiy schools. Wo see many youngsters wol ' ing to afid frem school. Studying tho or-rpressions of these youngers faces cculd be quite a hobby for seme person. t. At the back of ouf ' liouse, we have the city’s famous Weston Bakeries. Wo often smell the gorgeous fragrance of bread, buns, and cakes iich would make any person hungry.. I think that we have a good transportation service on our route. By taking tho William bus, which stops quite near our house, we can transfer to another bus and got into the heart of the downtown area. Looking at our house on a sunny day, one can soe equisite patterns i arming shadows of lace by tho troos. I think everybody iikes“a district. . ' Jhich is beautified by flowers with their smooth, velvety petals, sweet f ' •agrance and gorgeous colours. If you studied our district, you would find that it is not tho houses, which make up the district, but the people and what nature has provided that makes the district what it is. TEACHER: ; ho was the greatest of all inventors? Jimmy: Edison. TEACHER; And why? Jimmy: He invented the phonograph so people would sit up all night and use his electric lights.
