had never seen one before.
(To Lucy who tried to grab the
reins as soon as she was -out of
the cradle, and, incidentally, shed
tears before she acquired the male ,
technique of holding the lines in
one hand, laid down by her father
as a condition to being allowed
to drive, this was ,amazing: It all
goes to show flow customs have
changed with, the years;: and that
we are. now in an almost fully
mechanized age.)
Mr. Fiowehs purchased "Sunny",
a saddle horse, in October. Come
whitter and the snow, he got a
cutter from William H. Johnston
and broke .the Palamino into a
driver: And he is generous in
treating people to drives about
the village. "This outfit caused
more of a sensation in Bayfield
than a Cadillac car," was one
lady's remark.
Another pretty sight is Mary
Elizabeth Ervine's two Shetland
ponies, Dusty ,and Rusty, hitched
to a bob -sleigh. The children love
the\rides behind these 11/2 year
old ponies, and. either Mary Eliza-

Tuesday evening, FehrtlerY 3,
the Trinity; -Club :members gather-
ed for their monthly meeting at
the hems .of Mrs, R, .A, Simons.
Following the club led e, Mrs.
3,. Cluff read a prayer and Mrs.
R. K. F. Gairslnert the S.cripture,
both representative of the 'Love'
theme, The president, IMS. Fred
Arkeli welcomed Mrs. Seoffield
and 1VIrs; ki'win..: After the read-
ing of the minutes by Mrs. R. A,
Simons and the financial state
ment by Miss Berthena Sturgeon,'
several Items of business were dis-
cussed.
Fach member and. guest chose a
"
touch and take" gift,
Mrs; Arkell welcomed' the speck-
ed, Adrian Scoffield; Goderich,
originally from Sheffield,
' Yo
rk-
shire, England. Before oQni ng' to
Canada, several years ago, Mr.
Scoffield was • in Charge of his co»lpany, . following hos war
service in. . the RAF and RCAF.
Since arriving in Canada he has •
been employed as a civilian in-
structor at the; .RCAF Station
Clinton. He is also a member _of
the Goderich Little Theatre group
and has appeared on TV with
them.
• It rwas this aspect. of his ezcper-
ience. that prompted his :choice of
"Television and the Amateur", for
the enlightenment ' ters=e
nt of hes hearers..
i
This word is' used ' advisedly be-
cause the club certainly got • a
glimpse of "behind the TV scenes"
whilenenjoying~ the iaccomplished
speaking of Mr. Sec/Weld.
•
Mr. Scofsicild began at the turn.:
of the century with the evolution
of the theatre "not regarded as
respectable", through movies, sil-
ent and talkies, and on to radio
and TV which are `tsociaily ac-
ceptahle" arts, whose personnel
are, surprisingly. �
often, nice pee'
pie,.
He said,. "The transition, stage
in movies was a wonderful opPor'-
tunity for the enterprising and
sintrainedenxtateur, ,and. TV today
is in a .similar stage of develop -
meat, It is with these 'thoughts
that 1 intend to Speak to Yea on
the part of the ,amateur ire tine TV
World of entertainxmeent, 1 want
to show you how this- modern art
can remove the need, at first, for
experience, skill or treznendous
talent,"
In continuing, Mr. Scoffield
stated, "In Canada, perkiaps as
nowhere else in the World, does
the greatest opportunity for the
amateur exist in TV." From there
he followed through. the product-
tion of a TV program "at once
complex, and at the sane- time, for
many of the participants, simple
to Can amazing degree. Scripts
were described and an' original
.one from a program shown brief-
ly. The studio set-up, camera
technicians, video and ;audio tech-
niques as well .as ' control,' was
brought to life with his descriptive
anal •colourful choice of words,
Actors, as seen on. the receiving
screens, are only a portion -4,91e
many persons required to televise
.a program,.. However, et amateur
is easily directed since he is an
amateur anal )r' oww nothing .of
projecting his voice, exaggerated
gestures and so on. He must be;
well aware of his movements,
though, however slight, "a little
scratch of the :ear may induce
20,000 people to itch in sympathy,"
explained Mr..Scofffeld,
Make-up is very light in com-
parison to early TV appreciation
of orange face powder, dark blue
eyeshadaw and green lipstick.
In, closing, Mr, Scoffleld noted
"Equipment• is costly for reproduc-
ing taped programs; but so are
live telecasts, Colour TV is a,'
long way off. The TV art does
sot require colour to be fully :ex..
Oohed to our satisfaction; any.
more than a goon -*movie has to
be in colour to be .a box-office
record."
Mr. Scoffleld projected a, Short
flkm taken in the CI NX studios,
without any solicitation; from
their staff, but with very kind-
hearted forbearance. It is unedit
ed, incomplete and tells no story
whatever, but shows a few of the
things 1 have mentioned,"
Mrs. Williaix? Parker, conveyed,
the club's- sincere, appreciation and
enjoyment to Mr. Scoffield for his
most interesting and informative
talk --as well as their amusement
in his renditions, .complete with
Yorkshire accent" of 'the "Magna
Carta and the Battle of Hast-
ings."
