"Grandma" Mlany ai aur citizens wflI have pleasant memaries of Mr. and Mirs. Frederick W. Maady when they lived in Bawmanville a num- ber af years aga, and now reside at 2471 Mayfair Ave., Montreal 28, Quebec. Laoking through a recent issue ai The Montreal Daiiy Star we spied a picture of a lady with a palette and brush In hand standing in a meditative maod before an easel painting a landscape scene and the story was headed "Uer Classmates Cail Her Grandma". Looking dloser at the Sreaiding matter we found it was 6ur former citizen Mrs. Maady. And here is the accampanying article which we are sure many Statesman subscribers will read with interest, as well as profit in helping them ta salve the prob- lem on how ta grow old gracefully by cultivating a hobby: Ask any psychologist and he'll tell you that the happy middle- aged people are the ones who have hobbies. The business man, due ta retire, perhaps in the middle sixties, prepares himself for the days of leisure by finding an en- grossing interest-so life neyer becames boring. The wif e and Fiother once her children are grtwn and on their own, whether married or earning a living away fram home, flot only feels lonely but even suffers a sense of defeat believing that her life's work is done, that the days of her useful- ness are past. She's wrong, medicai men and scientlsts claim. That's the time ta find a hobby, or pursue an in- terest that once seemed extremely vital but has been tucked away for a long lime because ai respon- sibilities.

And we pictured a kind ai Can- adian Grandma Moses who began painting "serieusly"l at the age ai 77 and won natian-wide praise in the U.S. as a "primitive" artlst nearly 10 years later. Came la think of it, Gnandma Moses had been named "Woman ai the Year" south oi the border. We set out for aur interview and we - discovered Mrs. Moody was ane ai the prettiesl, youngest grandmoîhers we'd seen in a long Lime. A photograpli in black and white doesn't do her justice since her delicate coloring, pink and white complexion, deep blue eyes and sait grey hair are lost. Reaily Serious "My classmales, they're mostly in their teens, caîl me 'Grandma'," she told us. "And 'm neally scr- ious about my painting. I go ta ciass five days a week for the best part ai the day. Guess l have la live ta 115 or so ta accompllsh al 1 want la do." Wife ai Frederick Maody andà mather ai Howard Moady, ai To- ronto, whose small daugliter also calîs her "Grandma," Gracet Moody is by no means a novice in bhc art af painting, or in any other pursuits. More than 30 years ago, she studicd dramatics and voice and sang professionally.- During World War Il she enterbained the traaps2 and gave generously of lier talents ta assist many worbhy causes.f Even then she paintcd a luttle but Miss Rae Venner, Toronta, was home for a couple of days.
