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 40 COUTTS — KINGSLEY Mary Jane Kingsley of Windsor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. V.

PRODUCE OF CANADA Odds n' Ends 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. Music, chiefly from guitarist Amilummlins 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. Funeral by Elaine Townshend 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.
