The closing Grand Howl and prayer was led by AC M Bennett and the White Six. December 2-9 I suppose the CBC didn't in- tend that everyone would love "Waiting for Godot", last week's "Festival" production. It was classed as a 'tragi -comic parable' and was written by Samuel Beckett. I hope that I was in the vast minority, but personally, I thought it was ghastly, and I can't imagine great performers like Barry Morse and Budd Knapp wasting their time and talents with such a monstrosity. It was the story of two tramps waiting for Godot not knowing when he will come or even who he really is or why they are waiting. Your o w n imagination is needed to de- cide just who Godot is and whether or not he finally CURLINC CAPSULES Wingham Advance -Times, 'Thursday, Dec. 17, 1964 - Page 11. 'Tis Show Biz By Ernie Richcirdson Before we continue in- structions for new curlers, it might be appropriate to give the beginners some idea of the cost of starting a curling career. With the advent of pay - as -you -play curling, the cost of a few hours of curling is surprisingly low. And, in the matter of equipment and clothing, that expense is en- tirely up to the player. All that is needed to start curling is the desire, a warm sweater or jacket, gloves if you find there nec- essary, and a pair of rub- bers. Most beginners use toe rubbers because they are easier to slip on and off. I understand the girls prefer slacks or ski pants, in some cases with red flannels underneath, warm gloves and flat shoes with rubber soles or low cut overshoes. Special curling shoes, or boots are most popular. Sweaters or jack- I11I I IUI I I■I I III I I11I I1•111•111i111■111i111■I I I11I I IOII1111111111111111■I I I11I I I11I I I■I I IiiI I11III I® LYCZ1114 • SHOWPLACE OF WINGHAM — PHONE 357-1630 0 a 4- THURS.-FRI.-SAT.

The stones, brooms and the ice are all provided at the club, and the rental time is little, if any, more than it would cost to bowl or play billiards. Although most of the ice rental is at public clubs, there is still rental times for small groups at private clubs in all districts. Average rental costs run to $1.00 per hour per player, with the choice times at $1.25, and for early hours of the day it runs to 75 cents an hour, Most rentals are for two- hour periods and since many pay -as -you -play clubs provide free instruction for beginners the cost of start- ing curling must be the most reasonable of any game with the exception of hop scotch. Each of the pay -as -you - play establishments has a membership setup as well and these fees are general- ly quite reasonable. Many company and social groups form their own clubs and are affiliated with the var- ious city and provincial as- sociations. This makes their members eligible for offi- cial competition as well as ordinary club bonspiels. Most large centres now have a pay -as -you -play set- up, but even in the smaller localities where there is ice anyone interested in curling will be made wel- come: They will at least be guests of members fo'r a few sessions until they de- velop a liking for the game. Because new curlers are given every encouragment by those who are already keen members of the frater- nity the game has devel- oped by leaps and bounds across Canada the past five or ten years. It is now sweeping the United States and the European countries on a competitive basis since World Cup matches were in- troduced in 1959. Competition is the life of any sport and once you have completed basic in- struction and some prac- tice, get into as many games as you can with play- ers of varied experience. In this way through observa- tion and competition your game should gradually im- Illy Vomit Lee comes. I wish he had come; he may have added some ex- citement to the whole mess! I can't criticize the performers; they did marvellously, consid- ering what they had to work with! All in all, it was a lovely hour for writing letters, playing a rousing game of sol- itaire, or just enjoying a lei- surely nap. One thing about it --there was nothing said throughout that made it 'a naughty play'. But it seems more than ever this year, that Festival's plays are either con- troversial or boring. Can they not strike a happy medium? 0--0--0 The very few moments that I caught of jazzman Charlie Mingus' music on "Other Voices" last week, didn't exac- tly make me regret that I had not sat through the other 25 minutes. I guess he was play- ing his Meditation Suite, which he performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival. But I've heard better music during a traffic jam on a busy highway! 0--0--0 The mark of a good come- dian is, to other comedians, to be able to perform a comedy sketch without breaking up. Carol Burnett firmly believes this and in fact, only the in- imitable Red Skelton has suc- ceeded in making her laugh in the middle of a funny skit. Red, himself, hardly ever per- forms before the television cameras without'collapsing in gales of laughter over a well- placed ad-lib; Bob Hope laughs loudest when the joke is on him; and even the Ed Sullivan of the comedy world, Jack Benny, who doesn't even laugh on the way to the bank, has to smother a few guffaws when confronted with the top laugh -makers. This takes nothing from the sketch, as far as I am concerned. It shows that these marvellous people who bring laughter to the world, can laugh at them- selves, and it also is quite ob- vious that they are enjoying this admirable profession of making a smile cross today's worried faces, and for not one second would they want to be doing anything else. I was al- most beginning to wonder if Danny Kaye was really human. He has been romanced by Gwen Verdon, clobbered by Jose Ferrer, lambasted with a pillow by Phil Silvers, and through it all, he has managed to retain his composure and keep a straight face. Last -veek, it finally happened. In a marvel- lous take -off on Gilbert and Sullivan's " The Mikado", he and his guest Imogene Coco absolutely brought down the house in the funniest thing that has been done on the show. Between forgetting lines and missing cues, and losing beards and wigs, it was a total failure as a serious comedy sketch (if there is such a thing) but a wild evening of fun for them and for us. After the first few ad-libs and mistakes, Kaye was away and no one knew Bridge Club North and South: Mrs. E. Webster, B. Ortlieb; Mr. and Mrs. R. DuVal; Mr. W. Wharry and Omar Haselgrove.

Looks as if those Leaguers really took my plea seriously and let us Cougars take eight points this evening. Of course, Hilda Brown really helped our cause by sparing for us and taking the high single with 283 and the high triple with 679. I can see where Frank Burke really went hog -wild tonight too by taking the men's high single with 329 and the high triple with 881. Beautiful bowling, Frank! Our thanks to Hilda Brown, Vicki Wild and Bill Johnston who came to our rescue and s pared for us. Team standings: Lions 65; Seals 57; Wildcats 50; Tigers 41; Cougars 36; Beavers 27. I think for the New Year, it would be nice if we all do- nated to the Beavers' cause and let them take a few points so that we could all be back in the game again. What say, Gang! 0--0--0 WEDNESDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE The women's high single was taken by Lorraine Edwards, who had a very good game of 288. Lorraine also took the high triple with 574. In the men's department, Jerry Timm, Bill Maclntyre, Barry Gibson, Harley Gaunt, Kurt Uphoff, Grant Maclntyre and George Carter did not get the men's high single or triple because you know who, (Ken Saxton in case you had forgot- ten) came up with a single of 340 and a triple of 831. The team standings are, the Kats 50; Tigers 43; Packers what was coming next, for, he explained, "We may as well make it a total disaster!" It really was the farthest thing from a disaster, and perhaps the funniest line came when he said that his assistant Harvey Corman was "stoned" (which wasn't hard to believe)! Cor - man has more than proved himself as a comedian; now we know that he can also come through with flying colors when nothing goes according to plan. MINOR HOCKEY is now in full swing. Support the boys and enjoy some fast games. 40; Hawks .32; Rovers 31 and believe it or not, the Larks now have 12. Special thanks to spares Sonny and Ruth Shropshall for their efforts, 0--0--0 LADIES' LEAGUE The Orioles took three points from the Wrens this week hut the Wrens are still on top with 31 points. The Orioles are in second place with 29 points. The Robins took four points from the Budgies and are now tied with them at 25 points each. The Canaries took three points from the Bluejays, to give them 24 points and the Bluejays have 22, Ruth Lott took the high single with 279 and Sharon Sangster had the high triple of 673. 0--0--0 THURSDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Audrey Swatridge and Mari- lyn Ritchie tied for ladies' high single bowling 255. Ladies' high triple of 662 was bowled by Marilyn Ritchie. Matt Boyd bowled 319 and 754 for men's high single and triple. On top are Wayne's Woofers with 52; Ian's Idiots 43; Mac's Mules 41; Hap's Happy Gang 35; Matt's Meeces 34 and Bill's Boobs 26.
