Retired rail- roaders, engineers, conductors, dispatchers and other retired railroaders, still play their favourite game of cards there, frequent- ly surprised by the skill of the custodian, Mrs. Christine Dunham. Occasional bridge games are arranged and everyday those getting their mail, going to the Bank or shopping drop in for a coffee and visit. Town affairs are discussed and most enjoy- able are the times when a "good hand" (at cards) is laid down while a certain trip on the road, or former official is discussed The Bank of Montreal, who formerly occupied the building, donated it to the town to be used as a senior citizens centre, in apprec- jation of the long time customers who had dealt with them.

After a few years he was transferred to Toronto, as manager. They also remember Ed Hesson's daughter, Madame Jean Hesson, Pen- gelly, who was lately retired and honoured as one of Canada's most noted singers, beginning her career, singing at school concerts in Schreiber. They give some credit to those in Schreiber who had encouraged her. At the height of her career, she came back, with her entourage, to Of course, it is the one place, where every -one is given a turn in bragging, of their children and grandchildren's accomplishments, and positions. Where, after certain amounts of grumbling is done about the cost of education feathers are preened when it is realized that few, if any, such small communities, can boast of children who occupy such positions of high esteem in Canada, as theirs.
