Marion Williamson '
Group Meet
The Marian Williamson Girls’ Group
held its regular meeting in the church
basement on Tuesday evening of last
week. The group met at 6.30 p.m, and
enjoyed a very delicious pot luck
supper, with a short program after
ward.
The program consisted of the minu
tes and roll call followed by a piano
solo “Garden in the Rain” by Audrey
Gilmour. Jean and Louise Campbell
then favoured with a sacred duet
“Sweet Hour of Prayer”, accompanied
on the piano by Mary Scott.
The collection was taken and every
one joined in playing games. There
I was a good attendance, many visitors
being present. The meeting was closed
with the benediction.

Eddie Slovik the one who had to die?
A great amount of research and in
vestigation has gone into the book, the
material has been effectively arranged
and once you start it—even if you
think the author’s stylo is sometimes
over-dramatic—'you will find it diffi
cult to put the book down.

A few weeks ago we saw “Straftord Adventure”, the National Film Board
movie that depicts the growth and
success of last year's Shakespearean Festival. It is filmed in colour and
runs about forty minutes. Before see
ing it we had read a number of news
paper reviews, all of which sang high
praises of everything in the film—the
colour, the photography, the narration, the acting, the directing.
We saw the fijm and enjoyed it, but
not nearly so much as we thought we
would after reading those reviews.
Perhaps out of sheer perversity we
tried to pick flaws.* Perhaps we are getting a little tired of the adulation
that seems to be the necessary accom
paniment of any mention of the Stratford Festival.
At any rate it is an excellent film.
And if we thought the narration a bit
pretentious and some of the scenes too
patently artificial, we also... thought: there were some wonderful shots of
Stratford, of the construction of the
theatre, and of the rehearsals and
performances of the plays. Certainly the picture, is a fine, historical record
of a great moment in the history of
Canadian Theatre. •

In talking to hqckey and baseball scouts, I get the impression that both
sports are looking exclusively for big boys with which to fill their teams.
To give lip to this argument, at least in an isolated case, 139-pound Camille
Henry of the New York Rangers won the Rookie Award in the NHL only
last week.
This has given some of the smaller men hope that they might be able
to prevail upon the brass to take a look at them, if they show enough talent
and moxie to warrant it. But, it must be admitted, that despite Henry’s fine
year with the Blueshirts, in which he was used sparingly, the gruelling
schedule of today’s sport still demands that the physique must match the
schedule. If the scouts are willing to lay out good money for the talent
they seek, they must have reasonable assurance that the boy they sign will
develop into a large enough man to be able to take the power-burning set-up
which attends major sport today. , .... ,
There is an old axiom in boxing, which is becoming more true in hockey
and baseball as well. It is "that a good big man, can always beat a good
small man”. And, while the little man might show just as much talent as
the bigger boy, scouts and coaches
still will pick the boy who shows pro
mise of growing into a 200-pounder,
everything else being equal. The big
man in sport was brought home for
cibly to me in recent weeks, in chat
ting to fellows like Bob Davidson of
the Leafs, Johnny Mitchell of the Reft
Wings and Doug Mowry of the Dodg
ers. All of them made it plain that
first of all they were looking for big
athletes. Today’s schedule and com
petition make it such, they pointed
out, that only the bigger boys can
survive.
This is especially true in hockey,
The scouts even took a look at the
boy’s parents to see whether he might
develop into a largish gentleman. The
emphasis is definitely on the behemoth
in sport, and there seems no logical
diminishing of schedules, which would
be the only thing to change it.
SPORTRAITS
To all intents and purposes, Wing
ham will have to go with minor sport
again this summer. ....................
bad a deal, because
been rather fortunate
ment of young players in the past two
years . . . Th.is year it will be the
WINGHAM JUVENILES in softball.
The grouping will be a problem, and
it’s possible that the kids will play in
an intermediate group during the sea
son, and then revert to their own
class at playoff time. The juveniles
will be, in fact, last yearns midget
title-holders in the WOAA and OASA,
.... The reason for the jump is to
keep their battery intact. KEITH
.LANCASTER, who lost only one game
in the playdowns for the OASA, is of
juvenile age, and the* team will move
with him. ... The WOAA, at its
meeting last week, decided to go with
open classification in its minor soft-
ball series. This-will be nothing new
for Wingham. Last fall a team from
a town of 2700 beat such cities as
Sarnia, Hamilton, Oshawa and Kirk
land Lake. The classification means
nothing If you have the team . . .
TOMMY WILSON, who played hockey
for the WINGHAM TOWNE HALL
ERS and the BARRIE FLYERS last
winter, approached the WOAA to de
termine whether he could secure his
release from KINCARDINE to play
fastball /for PT. ELGIN PONTIACS
this summer. The league ruled that
Tommy had prior committments to
Kincardine, and that the release would
be a matter of discussion between him
self, Kincardine and Port Elgin. . . .
M. L. .‘TORY’ GREGG, in his dual
capacities with the OHA and WOAA,
is a man who always has his bag
packed and ready to go. Today Tory
and his wife leave for Vancouver and
the CAHA’s annual meeting. There is
a possibility that Tory might be nom-’
inated to run for the second vice-pre
sidency of hockey’s governing body in
Canada. If he should get the position
he would be forced to retire from the
OHA presidency.
As everyone must know by now, the
three plays fbr this summer’s Strat
ford Festival are “Measure for Measure”, “The Taming of the Shrew*’, and
"Oedipus Rex”, the first non-Shakes- pearean play io be presented In the
festival, is the famous ancient Greek tragedy by Sophocles. The translation
being used is that by W. B Yeats.
Within the next few weeks we hope
to make some comments on each of
these plays. For the present we’ll just advise, you to see them all if you
possibly can. "Measure for Measure”
will not likely be produced again in this region, “The Taming of the
Shrew” is a wonderful, lively comedy; and "Oedipus Rex” is regarded by
many as the greatest tragedy ever written.
The festival opens June 28 with the
first performance of "Measure for Measure”; on June 29 "The Taming
of the Shrew” will be presented and
from then until July 14, the two plays
will be performed on alternate nights. On July 15,comes the first.production
of “Oedipus Rex” and from then until
August 21 the three plays will be presented on successive nights. Informa
tion on the playing schedule, actors,
etc., can be had by writing to the
Stratford Shakespearean Festival, 109 Erie St., .Stratford.

Last week we commented on a num

Another We might have mentioned is THE EXECUTION OF PRIVATE
SLOVIK, by William Bradford Hine.
It tells the story of the life and death
of Eddie Slovik, an American soldier
in World War II, and the only Am
erican soldier since 1864 to be shot
for desertion. ;■
.Over 2,000 other Americans' were court-martialed for desertion and of
these 49 were sentenced to be shot.

the order was .finally carried out. And
