A relaxing day was en- joyed Saturday and camp broke up about 4 p.m. See Covenant Players A very large number of people attended the United Church Sunday morning to hear the Covenant Players. They are a travelling ministry of faith, presenting skits in humor and drama. The four young adults performing were Gordon and Lynne Minnes, Ed Thomp- son, all of Peterborough, and Debbie Campbell of Kit- chener. Even though you couldn't see him, Harvey stole the show at Huron Country Playhouse Wednesday night. The giant invisible white rabbit did a fine job of opening and closing doors as he went through them. His co-star, Don Porter as Elwood P. Dowd gave an equally good performance, and the two of them brought many laughs 'from the audience. The message of Harvey -- that it's better to be a crazy but cheerful, person than a normal and crabby person-- came through loud and clear. And I think that everyone in the audience was glad to hear it. Porter gave an excellent rendition of Dowd--kindly and friendly but a bit of a drunk and a somewhat sexy senior citizen. Porter was kept busy patting Harvey on the back, winking at him and adjusting his bow tie. Araby Lockhart was very good as Dowd's sister--just crazy enough to be a relative, and just nice enough to be his sister. Her actions, such as tugging at her girdle before she an- swered the phone, produced many laughes. Exeter's own Kim McCaffery did very well in her first professional role. Ms, McCaffery played Myrtle Mae--the reluctant hankie-waver, with the round shoulders, She had just the right amount of whine in her voice when answering to her mother's requests. Mary Ashwell and Pat Moffatt gave solid per- formances in the typical society lady roles. The rest of the performers worked together well to make the play funny and get the message across. The settings--both the elegant Dowd living room, and the doctor's office--were good. The crew were able ,to Skits presented were "Wrong I.D,", "Final Atom," "Er What," "The gift of Life," and "One More Time," Rev. H. Moore conducted the opening hymn sing and read the scripture from St. Matthew. Special music featured two duets by Harry Hoffman of Dashwood and Doug Gill of Crediton A coffee hour was held at the close of the United Church service Sunday morning, so that people had a chance to visit and talk with the Covenant Players. The Covenant Players are part of df thirty five full-time touring units, and have now performed throughout more than twenty-five countries on four continents. In addition to live drama, the C,P, ministry now includes radio, TV, motion pictures, recordings, cassette tape, and workshops in drama and communication Personals Mrs. Gertie Tiedeman is a patient in St. Joseph's hospital, London, Mrs. Lily Moore, of St. Clair Shores, Michigan visited last week with her sister Mrs. Eva Bariteau.

Ernie Chipchase, of Lakewood Gardens sub- division is a patient at change them in fairly decent time. There were no complaints with costumes either--from Elwood's rumpled suit jacket to Myrtle Mae's lovely pink dress. Director James Murphy has done well to put this large cast together and come up with a show that fits in all the right places. Harvey is a comedy classic--if you haven't seen it, it's a must. If you have seen it, whether it was James Stewart in the movie, or elsewhere on stage, you'll be glad to see it again. Huron Country Playhouse's version is summer stock at its best.
