Many kinds of smiles exist. People
mould one to suit almost every situation.
A baby's first toothless smile is recorded
in the photograph album along with
Grandpa's gum-revealing grin.
A 'mother's comforting smile in the
middle of the night assures her child that
he was only dreaming or convinces him
that the thunder won't hurt him.
A little boy's triumphant glow
announces he pedalled his two-wheeler all
the way to the corner without upsetting.
A six-grader grins sheepishly while her
father studies her report card.
The proud smiles of parents encourage
their son or daughter to make the long walk
across the platform to receive his or her
diploma.'
An exchange of knowing smiles between
two people discloses that they're sharing a
private joke. In addition, it reminds the
third party that two's company and three's
a crowd.
While one fisherman gesticulates to
show the enormous size of the fish that got
away, his ' buddy's smirk indicates a
different story.
A friendly smile welcomes newcomers to
the neighbourhood and makes them feel at
home.
The eager grin of the town gossip
proclaims that she's ready to spread a juicy
new rumour. At the same time, the smug
smirk of the local "know-it-all" declares,
"I already knoW."
A woman who displays a smile that
exclaims, "Feast your eyes on mel Aren't I

Blyth Festival perfOrmihg miracles
The prefessional theatre group,
with some amateur actors, are
also putting on Agatha Christie's
famous long run record breaking
play The Mousetrap on alternate
nights.
The miracle is not, that the
grqup is good -- the performance
of Mostly in Clover that two,of the
company adapted is excellent --
but that there is slimmer theatre
in Blyth at all. Not much more
than a year ago Blyth's Memorial
Hall, the interesting old theatre
where the Festival performs, was
condemned as unsafe and noises
were being made about tearing it
down.
A hard working group of Blyth
people rescued the building and
with the help of the village council
and local organizations , st acted
getting the theatre back into
shape.
The theatre building was saved
and then the next installment of
the miracle happened. James
Roy, a native of the Blyth area
who had been involved in summer
theatre in Quebec City and with
Theatre Passe Muraille (the Farm
Show people) in Toronto, started
working on the Blyth Summer
Festival only this Spring.
In four short months he's
collected a Company of
professional and local amateur
actors and managed to stage an
original' Canadian play. Much of
the amazing progress comes,
according to James' wife Anne,
who does publicity for the
'Festival, because of the support
of Blyth people. Individuals,
businesses and the village council
have given money and time to get
the Festival started.
It's a success story and if the
audience who belly laughed and
chuckled through° the second
performance of Mostly In Clover
Thursday night. tell all their
friends, Blyth Summer Festival is
going to be around for awhile.
The Blyth players put on a
friendly performance. There are
lots of whiles and chuckleS and
good rapport with.the audience as
the cast of five play various roles
in a number of sketches about
rural Clover in the depression.

DON'T MISS
STRATFORD'S
By Susan White
There is a kind of miracle
being performed in Blyth these
nights. The brand new Blyth
Summer Festival is performing
Mostly in Clover, a play adapted
from Harry J: Boyle's books
about growing up in
Huron County, good crowds.

gorgeous?" somehow diminishes her
beauty.
An overconfident while says, "There's
no way I can lose." When a winner flashes
a self-satisfied smirk, he's patting himself
on the back.
The gracious smile of a winner, though,
assures his opponent the competition was
keen. Meanwhile, a loser's smile shows he
did his best, he'll try again and he's still a
good sport. His brave smile sparks as much
admiration as the cocky grin of the winner.
A polite smile is a cross between a grin
and a yawn. It's a sure sign your joke
wasn't funny. When you recognize it, your
elated grin becomes an embarrassed one
and is accompanied by the reddening of
your face.
When you're seriout . but your
companion tries unsuccessfully to conceal
an amused smile, your embarrassment is
triggered again. You'd better smile to
assure him y ou won't, be offended, if he
laughs. Otherwise, he might convulse with
suppressed chuckles.
A phony smile broadcasts insincer ity;_a
forced smile is • only a rover up, and a
frozen smile has forgotten all its ,good
intentions.
But a sincere, friendly smile says, "I
missed you" or "It's nice to know you."
People quickly recognize the, different
kinds of smiles. A smile is a silent yet
powerful means of communication. In a
flash, it relays a thought.
In many ways, a smile is magical. When
worn by one person, it coaxes another
smile onto the face of the most sober
human, for smiling is contagious.
Although a smile costs nothing to give, it
brings much in return, such as trust,
"friendship and love. The most treasured
reward for a smile is to see someone
smiling back at you.
A simple thing like a smile performs
wonders.
