At the volunteer's meeting on
Valentine's Day, the Children's Aid
Society had the opportunity of
learning more about the magical
world of the clown.
The art of clowning is serious
business and the professional clown
treats his craft with respect. Woven
within its framework are strong
ethics which demand a commit-
ment to learning and excellence in
execution that we found
enthralling.
Clowns have their own
fraternities, Clowns of America and
the World Clown Association, and
individuals can attend clown
seminars across North America or
attend clown school through the
University of Wisconsin. Being a
clown, or taking on the personifi-
cation of that venerable old
gentleman, Santa Claus, is more
demanding that most realize.
The history of clowns if
fascinating. The older 'white faced'
clown originated in France, the
August clown is known by his big
nose, big mouth and oversized
trousers. The newest member of the
family, the hobo clown grew out of
the Great Depression. Today you
will find 'care clown§' plying their
trade as volunteers working with
children or in hospitals and nursing
homes. There are also 'ministry
clowns' and 'party clowns', all
lady, Dorothy Brock and talented
ingenue Peggy Sawyer.
Peggy can't believe her luck
when she's chosen to be one of the
chorus members for Pretty Lady.
It's a dream come true for this little
actress from Allentown,
Pennsylvania, who has her sights
set on Broadway. She gets her
chance when Dorothy can't go on
opening night. It's up to Peggy and
her fabulous footwork to step in
and save the show.
Based on the 1993 Warner
Brothers film starring Ruby Keeler,
Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers,
42nd Street opened in August,
1980 to rave reviews and ran for a
remarkable 6,137 performances on
Broadway.

$8 or $5 for students and seniors.

0220, ext. 226, or at the door.
The public is also welcome to
attend Quietly Landed? a
musical/dramatic work featuring
the stories of Mennonite women,

March 23, 1996 at 8 p.m. in the

Ann Weaver, Carol Penner and

sharing a common goal - to bring a
few shining moments of laughter
into hearts.
From Beanie (every clown
chooses a name which can even
have its own U.S. Government-
issued car license!) alias Pat
Willows, CAS members learned
that most people who take up
clowning have been deeply touched
by personal tragedy. Bringing
giggles and a little laughter into the
world helps them to go on. In
becoming a clown they experience
the therapeutic healing of laughter
and learn that there is little in life
that does not have a humorous side.
They also learned a little about
the use of puppets and toys to
engage children and adults who
would otherwise not be able to
communicate with us.
The Children's Aid Society in
Goderich has been offered the
opportunity to host a six-week
course on Clown Basics — enough
to kick-start a local volunteer Care
Clown Unit if there are enough
interested people. Please call Joan
Van den Broeck at the office if you
would like to participate. The local
number to phone is 524-7356, for
outside the calling area dial 1-800-
265-5198. The cost for the course
will be nominal. Further details
will follow if there are enough
interested people to proceed.
