pearance in Huron Park for

still plenty of openings for
both the second and third

"Keep up the good work
gals."
The Huron Park wading
pool opened this week to
Huron Park and area tots.
Helen Muller will be
supervising the pool which
will be open Monday to
Friday 1-3 p,m.
We are requesting that all
youngsters wear bathing
suits and tots under three
must be accompanied by an
adult. Please no diapers.
We have had problems
with glass being thrown into
the wading pool as well as
the large pool and we are
pleading wish people to
please refrain from throwing
bottles into areas where
youngsters will be playing
and swimming.
It not only makes clean-up
lengthly and costly but can
cause serious injury if some
of these pieces of glass are
missed during clean-up and
may eventually lead to total
shut-down if these events do
not subside, Remember
these are your pools!

Mary Gower - Crediton
will celebrate her 93rd

WAKE UP
YOUR .
TASTE
By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
When you're on the road
for sixteen days, sleeping in
motel rooms and eating in
restaurants, you're bound to
encounter a few amusing or
perplexing situations.
For example, at the end of
a long hot day of driving,
Joan and I decided to take
the first motel we found.
When we rounded a curve
and spied a motel sign, it
seemed too good to be true,
and it was.
One end of the building
was under renovation with
scaffolding and paint pails
on the top floor of the two
storey structure. The other
end seemed uncluttered, and
we assumed that was where
our room would be.
Instead the manager took
us to a room on the second
floor under the scaffold and
pails. The room was
spacious, but the beds were
not made and a vacuum
cleaner lay in the middle of
the floor.
"You can have this room
for $30," the manager
confided, as though he was
doing us a favour.
Joan and I decided we'd
like to drive a little further.
During a preliminary
check of another motel
room, I tested the bathtub
taps only to discover the
former visitors had left the
shower tap open, I was given
an unexpected shower.
In another tub, the taps
were switched, and it took a
blast of cold water to alert
me to the change.
In a washroom in a
restaurant, I found a dif-
ferent kind of sink. It hadonly
one tap with a button on it. I
pushed the button and water
gushed out, I washed and
pushed the button again. The
water kept coming. I pulled
the tap and tried turning the
button, but the water kept
coming.
"It will probably stop

"What have I got to lose?"
I asked myself as I hit the
lever. To my relief the
flowing water stopped 1,1.,
inches from the top of the
sink.
A new owner had taken
rItt- '9te
•
over a certain motel and one
of his innovations was a
breakfast nook for guests
only. The small room had a
u-shaped counter with a
dozen stools.
The waitresses were ob-
viously new at the job. They
had difficulty finding things.
like the menus, One of the
ladies set a plate on the
stove. It was alright until she
turned on the wrong burner,
A sudden explosion and a
flying plate sent two burly
truck drivers ducking behind
the counter,
In another restaurant, we
ordered the special of the
day veal cutlet.
"Oh, is that what's on
today?" the waitress asked.
Then she explained that she
had just come on duty and
hadn't had time to read the
menu. The three of us read it
together.
Since neither Joan nor I
speak French, we expected a
few problems in Quebec.
Surprisingly nothing hap-
pened until we were on our
way home. We found a menu
in French only and a
waitress who didn't speak
English.
We resorted to pointing
and thought everthing was
alright until she came back
with one hot chicken sand-
wich .and two chicken
breasts. She must have
thought wt were hearty
eaters!
With a few more gestures
and halting speech, we ex-
plained the mistake and she
graciously took back one of
the chicken breasts.
Our final dilemma hap-
pened in Old Fort Henry at
Kingston. We loitered in the
gift shop and thought we had
missed our guided tour. We
spied a group just entering
the officers' quarters and
rushed to catch up. We went
only a short distance before
we realized we were with a
group of Lions' Club
members and their wives
from the United States.
Oh well, no one told us to
get lost. I guess they knew
we already had.
Success
at Blyth
Unanimously favourable
reviews and unprecendented
advance sales have marked
the opening week of .the
Blyth summer Festival.
Critics from as far away as
Toronto, London and
Calgary have' cast their
votes of approval behind the
first two productions.
Alice Gibb of the Huron
Expositor called "This
Foreign Land" ".,.a
haunting production—both
funny and moving by turn."
Jim Fitzgerald of the Clinton
News-Record said "...it
(This Foreign Land) is
better than most of the
million dollar productions at
Stratford."
Gina Mallet of the Toronto
Star said: "Blyth, in fact,
seems a model for a
theatre's development...'
there isa8 yet no discernible
gap between what the
festival wants to do and what
the audience wants to see."
The second production,
"I'll Be Back For You Before
Midnight" prompted London
Free Press critic Doug Bale
to enthuse: "...a first-rate
thriller...I wouldn't be at all
surprised to see Colley's play
end up on Broadway."
Audiences have echoed the
critics' support with their
ticket orders. Advance ticket
sales for all performances
are much higher than at this
point last year, although
there are still plenty of
tickets available for most
performances. Patrons are
urged to make their reser-
vations as early as possible
to avoid disappointment,
particularly for week end
performances.
The next opening at the
Blyth Summer Festival
occurs on July 24 when
"McGillicuddy's Lost
Weekend" hits the stage,
closely followed by the
opening of "Child" on
August 2. Tickets for all
these plays and for The
Death of the Donnellys,
which opens August 21, are
available by calling 523-9300
or at most ticket outlets,
