Some of you may recall that
Roy Clark, a country singer and
musician, appeared at the
Western Fair in London in
September. Maybe you were
among the record-breaking
crowds that packed his two
evening performances. My
sister, brother-in-law and I were
part of the throng.
My sister likes Roy Clark.
She'd do almost anything to see
him, She'd even risk life and
limb, and in this case, she also
risked mine.
My brother-in-law advised that
if we couldn't get close enough to
see Roy's dimple, it wasn't worth
going, With this thought in mind,
we planned to leave early. But
the evening began on a
discouraging note. We were late,
Naturally my brother-in-law was
to blame, because he was delayed
at the office.
When we finally hit the streets,
the traffic was heavy, and then
we couldn't find a parking place.
For twenty minutes, we drove
around searching for a spot into
which we could squeeze a Volvo.
We finally found some space in a
lot beside a railroad track.
Miraculously, we had to walk
only seven or eight blocks. The
time was 8:15 and the second
show was scheduled to begin at 9
o'clock.
When we stepped inside the
gates, we encountered a long line
of people. "This can't be the line
up for the grandstand," we
assured each other, But it was.
We threaded through the crowd
to the other side of the bpilding
and were met by another
seemingly endless line.
"You blew it!" my brother-in-
law announced to my sister. "We
should have arranged to come to
the early show the way I wanted
to."
"1 blew it?" she retorted.
"You're the one who was late!"
Fortunately she ended the
family feud by suggesting we try
the track. We emerged from the
building on the track to the left of
the stage. We hopped the fence
and strode closer, until a guard
shooed us back to the track.
About thirty feet from the
seating area, we ran into a wall of
people who were standing. My
sister noticed a chink in the
throng; she squared her
shoulders and led us in. The wall
closed around us. When someone
became tired of waiting and
vacated their spots, the crowd
inched forward. My sister and I
couldn't see anything, but we
could hear Roy. Meanwhile, my
brother-in-law acted as our
periscope.
I sympathized with a little boy,
about eleven or twelve years old,
who had lost his friend, Don. He
wandered through the mob
whispering, "Don, Don." He
tapped one young fellow on the
shoulder, but it wasn't Don. Then
he disappeared into the shadows,
but I could still hear his worried
voice calling, "Don? Don?"
When the first show ended, my
brother-in-law informed us we
were about twenty feet from the
seats. That's when the risky part
began. Five hundred people tried
to leave, while six hundred more
poured in, vying for the empty
chairs.
My usually meek and mild
sister elbowed her way through
the crowd. I paid no attention to
where we were headed; I simply
burrowed my nose in the back of
her blue jacket and followed her,
while my brother-in-law pushed
from behind. I almost panicked
once, when I lost sight of the
patch of blue, but we were soon
reunited.
While my sister and I collapsed
on the first chairs we came to, my
brother-in-law forged ahead. In a
few minutes, he motioned us to
join him near the centre of the
seated area. He had found three .
chairs in the fourth row from the
front next to the middle aisle.
We were close enough to -see
Roy's dimple!

•
Mrs. Edna Simmons and Miss
Lauretta Siegner, Canadian
Cancer Society Education Co-
chairmen, of the Huron Unit,
participated in a two-day
Education Conference October 2
and 3 at the Prince Hotel in
Toronto.
Along with 300 other Cancer
Society volunteers, they attended
workshops conducted by
professional health consultants
and teachers. The delegates
learned about the cancer
education materials available to
people in the community and
about the most effective way to
use these materials to educate
the public about cancer
safeguards.
"The Canadian Cancer Society
has an important message to
tell," said Mrs, Simmons. "But in
this age of mass information it is
at times difficult to be heard. Our
message is quite simple, all we're
asking is that people practise the
Seven Steps to Health."
The Canadian Cancer Society's
Seven Steps to Health are: Have
a medical and dental check-up;
watch for any change in your
normal state of health; find out
about any lump or sore that does
not heal; protect yourself against
too much sunlight; do not smoke;
have a Pap test; and do a mon-
thly breast self-examination,
Miss Siegner said, "The
Canadian Cancer Society has a
wide variety of learning
materials available free of
charge for schools, clubs and any
other interested organizations.
OPEN MONDAY
