It is time to stop worrying about problems that
are not yours. Change your attitude and put your
mind to work.

One indecisive moment could cause a multitude
of difficulties later on. Be direct and be firm.

All romantic endeavors are apt to be met with
rejection but do not give up. Mr/Ms Right is still
there.

You may be called upor to share your experience
with others. Teaching could become a second
career for you.

When asked to participate in a creative project,

_accept graciously, Show enthusiasm, even if you

have none.

Good time to re-stock your cupboards. Home
demands attention and should receive it. Beware
of too much sugar.

‘A borrower nor a lender be” is good advice at
this time. Take care to handle problem
diplomatically.

Extra money is.required before you can make the
changes you desire. Check thoroughly before -
committing yourself.

Do not be taken in by false advertising. Stand
firm and be wary of anything that sounds too
goad to be true. oo

A.co-worker may try to upstage you. Keep your
head and temper in check, but don't .allow
anyone to step on your toes.

You gain the good graces of a desirable group
of individuals. They may expect something,
however, for this acceptance.

Get to know your co-workers better. Plan an
outing or get-together for that purpose. Lét them ©
know you care. -

Canada in the spring of 1912 for
the marriage. Shortly after their
arrival, Eleanor was hospitalized
with a ruptured appendix, delay-

ing the wedding.

She was a school teacher in
England before she married. Rita
says, "She always remained the
school teacher. We all knew how
to read and write before kinder-
garten.” She adds that her
mother has always been "a per-
fectionist and an intellectual”.
Rita gives particular credit to
her mother for teaching the

‘children values and etiquette.

Her father was a real family
man. Rita fondly recalls a story
he told her shortly before his

death about a Christmas when he
-and. their mother wired and

decorated an old dollhouse for
the girls for Christmas. It was
switched in such a way that

when they turned on the parlour

light on Christmas morning, the
dollhouse lit up. Her father
remembered that as the happiest
day of his life.
She says both their parents
brought them up as individuals.
Their father frowned upon peer
pressure, often asking the rhe-

friend, in Toronto. Eleanor and
-her mother had travelied to

torical question, “If someone
were jumping off a bridge,

would you follow them?" The _

family, which included four
girls, Rita being the third (the

last born died nine days after her

birth), lived in Toronto for many
years. a
Mr. Woodhouse, an structural
engineer, built a bungalow for
the two of them after the girls
grew up and moved away. He
died in his mid-seventics. Mrs.
Woodhouse stayed. in their home

until she was’ in her eighties. ”

She was an avid gardener and

kept a beautiful home. She then

moved into her.own apartment
when the house got to be too
much work. .
In 1983, at age 96, after th
death of her eldest daughter and
son-in-law in Cambridge,
Ontario, (with whom she had
lived for 10 years), Eleanor
Woodhouse moved to Terrace
with the assistance of her daugh-
ter Rita and Rita’s son Richard.
Mr. and Mrs. Woodhouse had
once been to Terrace to visit
their daughter and her family.
The Woodhouse name lives on
in 105-year-old Eleanor Wood-
house and in cousins across the
country and in the United States.
