Gilroy, Chairman. N.C. Cheeseman, Director of Education. By MRS. HUGH MORENZ Mary Lynne Hamilton has returned home from Kererneos, B.C., where she enrolled as a member in the "Outward Bound Survival Course", which was a 26 day experience. She reports on returning that the Course was a lifetime experience for her. One is filled with emotion that life possesses. 'Fear, which we all went thru and came out with courage. •Anger, that ripped at all of us but was with held with respect. Exhaustion, we all ex- perienced but pushed on to reach the top. •Considera don for other people we managed well. • Friendships we built will be life-time precious stones. 'Tears, some of us dropped for Joy at seeing our first summit. •Happiness, we shared with each other that can never be replaced by anything else. Peacefulness, we shared on our 2 day solo, only to be re-united together again for more experience with nature and mountains. Mountain climbing, with a 40 lb. pack, is a traumatic accomplishment. Our highest mountain was Mount Remmel 8,695 feet. I ex-. perienced Hell and Heaven all in one day. It was hell climbing but heaven at the top. " Mary Lynne camped overnight on the summit. Daybreak was emotional, the sun rising and she could reach up and see and touch the clouds riding by. The motto of this course is, "To serve to strive and not to yield," As she sat on the summit of Mt. Remmel she couldn't help but think of her sister Elizabeth Kennedy, who two years previous experienced "Outward Bounds" these lines came to her -"We have shared! We have strived, We have served, and not yielded, we have lived," Bridge game winners Winners of the duplicate bridge game held last Wednesday evening at St. John's Parish hall were north-south, Mary Ferguson and Helen Davidson east- west, Marg Green and Clarke Kennedy. There will not be games held for the next two weeks, Travel to San Diego Mr. and Mrs. Tony Relouw, Mr. and Mrs. Tony Van Bree, Eugene Creces and daughter and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Dalton, returned last Friday, after spending a week in San Diego, attending the Alhambra Convention. Special speaker Special speaker at the United church outdoor service, Sunday morning, was Mrs. Evelyn Krueger, of Owen Sound. Evelyn was born and raised in this area. Soloist was Roberta Walker, singing "The Impossible dream", and "Lord Jesus of you I will sing," The latter solo was sung with two verses in French and two in English. Referring to Canada as a bilingual country, this song fit in so appropriately on the day of the funeral service in Ottawa for Hon. John G. Diefenbaker, former Prime Minister of Canada, who had such hopes and dreams for a United Canada. The hymn sing was led by Millie Desjardine. Next Sunday August 26, Robert Hollingsworth, of Peter- borough, a gospel singer and lay preacher will be leading the United church morning worship service. Play ball! Church of God young people met Thursday evening, with 12 in at- tendance for a game of soft ball at the school grounds. After the ball game they met at the church where Rev, John Campbell led in devotions. This was followed by a hot dog barbecue and muskmelons for dessert. The young folks presented Doug Steckle with a gift. Doug is leaving shortly to attend the Alberta Bible Institute. At the morning service at Church of God a special love offering was taken to help Doug. A solo, "This is the time I must sing," was rendered by Doug Steckle. Church of God News Members of the Church of God are attending a family camp, being held at Thamesford, August 20 to 26. Owing to this, no services will be held in the Church of God, on Sunday August 26th. C.W.L.

All C.W.L. members with reserve tickets for August 29 at Huron Country Playhouse to Sound of Music, are asked to turn in their money to the C.W.L, president, Mrs. Roberta Walker. The C.W.L. and Alhambra members held a very suc- cessful picnic on August 12, in honor of the International year of the child, with about 75 attending. The children received ribbons and prizes for games and sports and a barbecue and band for dancing was enjoyed. The C.W,L. thanks all who helped. Personals Alex and Clara Hamilton, attended a three day con- vention, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of last week for the United Senior Citizens of Ontario, as delegates.

Recent visitors with Mrs. Rosie Grigg were two of her sons, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Grigg, Kitchener and Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Grigg of Arizona. Continued from page lA each other and to housework since we splurged on new appliances. Our old stove was one of the first that Westinghouse ever made, but it wasn't quite old enough to interest an antique dealer. Wheti the oven went "kaput" we decided to invest in a new range. The old frig was pretty small, too, so it was replaced. Our parents were good enough to give us wedding presents of money for a washer and dryer, and since we were buying four appliances we decided to get a dishwasher, too, Believe me, not having to bake in an oven that doesn't work, not having to rearrange the interior of the frig every time you want a glass of milk, not having to pack up and go to a laundro- mat, and not having to look at a pile of dirty dishes in the sink can really improve your marriage. You see, prior to the new appliances, we did oc- casionally bicker over who would do the household chores. Dishes were a major item, and laundry was the other. But neither one of us ever had to go to the laundry mat alone. It's not because we're one of those happy jolly couples that has to do everything together. It's because if I went to the laundromat by myself, I wouldn't fold his T- shirts right, and if he went by himself, he wouldn't bother to put my d"esses on hangers. With the new appliances, all we have left to argue about is making the bed and taking out the garbage. We have friends that we envied because they said they never argued about household chores. Everything was 50-50 with this happily married couple--each one had their portion of the housework to do, and they never fought about anything as mundane as garbage or dirty dishes, It was too good to be true. And then one evening the bubble burst. They don't fight about squeezing tooth paste tubes like other people-- t"."-You Are Invited To Attend GRAND BEND You feel as if you're staring into the faces of one big, happy family, They certainly look enough alike to be a family, and the talking and teasing seems like sibling treatment. And they are a family--if only for a month. After two weeks of rehearsal and another two weeks of productions, the children in The Sound of Music will probably feel like a family. The six children were chosen locally during auditions in April, and they range in age from eight to 14. They are playing the roles of the younger members of the Von Trapp family. The Sound of Music is the true story of this singing family who eventually escape Nazi terror in Europe. Thirteen year old Doug Woodburn of R.R. 8 Parkhill is playing Friedrich who is 14, Doug has been in two operettas at Stephen Central school, and has been in church and school choirs. Lisa Cain of Sarnia is 14 and she has the part of Louisa who is 13. Lisa has been going to St. Benedicts school in Sarnia where she has been in several plays. She had the starring role of Maria in her, school's production of The Sound of Music. Playing the role of ten year old Kurt is twelve year old Jeff Greenwood of Parkhill. Jeff was in the Playhouse's production of Treasure Island and he's also been in several plays at Parkhill- West Williams school. Mary Margaret Murphy 12, of Goderich is playing Brigitta who is nine. She was also in Treasure Island and has played in Tom Sawyer at St. Mary's school in Goderich. The role of seven year old Marta will be played by ten year old Jennifer McCrindle of Grand Bend.

Peter McConnell co-stars as Captain Von Trapp, the wealthy widower. Also in the cast are Trudy Mason, Barbara Ianni, Lynda Maxwell, Nancy Kerr, ..Phillip Street, Kimberley McCaffrey, Mark Bolton, Patty Gail, John Heath, Mark Flear, Joseph Vayda, Celia Punter, Elaine Allen, Jillian Brown and Kathy Kaszas. James Murphy is directing The Sound of Music with' musical direction by Erna Van Daele and choreography by Jillian Brown, For the local youngsters, playing the Von Trapp family has given them a chance to work with professionals on the stage. The children say that they've learned many things--such as how to breathe, and how to open their mouths and speak clearly. They have also been told not to put their backs to the audience, and not to upstage someone else, they say. The Sound of Music is the biggest production ever. attempted by Huron Country Playhouse. There will be a cast of 25, with five different stage settings. Most characters in the play wear several different costumes. The children change seven times during the play. A full orchestra will be ac- companying the singing. Tickets were sold out for the regular showings in June. Two preview per- formances were added for last night and this afternoon. No orchestra will be on hand for the previews. Some rush seats may still be available for the two week run.

She's in a management position at Bell, and he, a strong member of the NDP defends the union. He mentions going to church and she refuses to ac- company him. When they decide to have a disagreement, they don't bother with petty topics. It was embarrassing to have to tell them that our biggest fight was about who's turn it was to get supper. Actually, you'd think we came from an Italian background. When Victor gets supper ready he cooks spaghetti. When I have to prepare supper, I buy a pizza on the way home. The good folks here at the T-A and Eedy Publications decided that Victor deserves better than ,that. They've made me editor of the new cookbook. Victor and I have started testing recipes already, and we've both decided that we can easily expand our culinary expert- ise . So please send in recipes-- the new stove waits .
