Odds 'n ends
Adore summer people
By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
One of the bravest of all
summer people is the
baseball umpire.
See him crouch; see him
peer through his mask. Even
through the face protector,
you can tell he’s con
centrating.
See him dodge the little
white missile travelling
ninety miles an hour. Hear
him shout, “Ball one!”
See him crouch, watching,
waiting. Here it comes
again. See him raise his
arms; hear firmly yell,
“Strike two!”
Watch him ignore the boos
on one side and the
cheers on the other.
He is badgered, bothered,
bumped, maybe even
bruised. Hear him put an end
to the bickering with a stern,
“Play ball!”
Hear him shout without
hesitation, “Strike three!
You’re out!”
If an umpire is, at times,
one of the most unpopular
summer people, the home
run king is one of the most
popular ones.
Hear the crack of the bat;
hear the crowd go wild;
watch him nonchalantly
make his home run jog
around these bases.
Anotner popular summer
person is the one behind the
ice cream scoop. Watch him
expertly scoop and swirl the
creamy cold delight; see his
deft fingers dip into the nuts,
See him sneak a lick when he
thinks no one’s looking.
Yes, a popular person is
the king or queen of the cone,
shake, sundae and banana
split. Perhaps the only
happier person is the one
who gets to eat the
delicacies.
Another person who’s
always in demand is the one
slaving over the backyard
barbecue.
Watch him flip the ham
burg patties with precision
timing;see him season the •
chicken parts with his secret
barbecue sauce; watch him
shake the ketchup bottle
until his white apron is red-
striped.
Hear him shoe away the
pesky people who claim
they’re starving.
Hear the sizzle, the pop;
smell the aroma; can’t you
almost taste the tender hot
meat?
Summer people know how
to work hard, how to play
hard, how to take it easy and
how to enjoy summer, but
kids are probably the ones
who know how to get the
most out of summer.
See them stampede for the
door on the last day of
school.
Hear them cheer as they
lunge toward two whole
months of summer freedom
baseball in the park, catch in
the backyard, the beach, a
swimming pool, a lemonade
stand in front of their house,
bicycle rides, long nights of
light, late night tv and
sleeping in every morning.
Ah,..the joys of summer
people, kids and adults alike.
, If you think this column
seems short or put together
hurriedly, you’re right. The
writer is one of those lucky
summer people about to set
out, on a summer holiday,
be readyand I have
yesterday.

Festivities planned
Blyth opens fifth season
The stories of new
Canadians will open the
season of the Blyth Summer
Festival on June 29. “This
Foreign Land”, which deals
with the experiences of
recent immigrants to this
area, opens Friday complete
with gala opening festivities.
Patrons will be treated to the
traditional community
supper and the music of a
pipe band before the theatre.
A wine and cheese reception
after the play will complete
the evening.
The evening’s festivities
begin at-six p.m. when the
ever-popular turkey supper
will be ’ served in the
basement of Blyth Memorial
Hall by the ladies of the
community. After the
supper, the Brussels Legion
Pipe Band will entertain on
the lawn of the hall until
curtain time. Folowing the
play, the audience is en
couraged to mix with the
actors and staff of the
Festival at a wine and
cheese reception in the
basement of the hall.
June 29 marks the opening
of the fifth anniversary
season of the Blyth Summer
Festival. In five years, the
Festival has grown from a
season of two plays and
fourteen performances to a
season of five plays, sixty-
one performances and a
winter series.
Ghoulies, ghosties and
things that go bump in the
night will populate the stage
of the Blyth Memorial Hall
when “I’ll Be Back For You
Before Midnight” opens on
July 3. The play, which is the
second offering of the Blyth
Summer Festival season, is
as mysterious as its title
suggests.
It concerns a young
idealistic couple who move
to the country looking for
peace and tranquility. What
awaits them, however is a
series of disconcerrting
incidents that lead them to
reconsider their dream of a
pastoral idyll. Meanwhile,
though, their
misadventures are the grist
of a comic mill that will have
audiences rolling in the
aisles.

Harry DeVries, Exeter wish to announce the forthcoming

By TED CHAMBERS
Again during this past
week the senior citizens were
on the go. Wednesday, they
were treated to a trip to
Elora by the Exeter Lions
Club. They left town in three
school buses with about 40 in
each bus.
We were accompanied by
a Lion club member in each
bus and left at 9:15 a.m. with
drivers Walper, Rowe and
Heartt at the wheels of the
buses.
We went by way of
Seaforth, Winthrop Brussels
and Wroxeter. Here we
, crossed the Maitland River
and passed through Gorrie,
Harriston into Tiviotdale to
Arthur and on south side and
stopped at a gas station to
get out and stretch our legs.
We went on to Fergus and
arrived at Elora park at the
Gorge 12:45 a.m. Dinner was
all ready for us in the
pavilion. Dinner had been
prepared by Jennie Rowe
and Mrs. Mills who had gone
on ahead. A sumptuous
chicken dinner for all with
second helpings if you
wanted it.
After dinner a lot of us
walked down the hill to see
the Gorge which is very deep
through the rocks at this
point under neath the bridge.
This park is a large place
now with parking places for
trailers and company ground
all through a large bush of
mostly evergreen trees.
We left for home at 2:30
p.m. by way of the town of
Elora. Here we stopped for
ice cream and shopping
We came home by way of
Elmira; Wallenstein,
Listowel Monkton, Dublin,
Mitchell and home to Exeter
about 6:30 p.m. A real nice
day again and enjoyed by all
To the Exeter Lions Club-
Many thanks from us all.
This past week being
senior citizens visiting week
at Huronview Home for aged
about five or six car loads
went up Friday afternoon to
visit with their friends and
stay for supper with them.
The supper was supplied
by the home for a fee of $1.
This day was also enjoyed by
those who went to have a
visit with the ones that are
there, enjoying several
hours of fellowship with
them.
At the beginning of the
afternoon we were en
tertained' by a group of
musicians made up of
several violins, guitar,
pianist a step dancer and
also several solos.
This group they told us
came quite regularly to the
home to entertain the
residents at no charge at all
and maybe coming in the
future to Exeter senior
citizens to play for a dance.
Watch for this date later on in
the summer.
Open Thurs.
And Fri. Nights
