The Sunday service at Londesboro United Church on April 22 was a heritage hymn service. Rev. Paul Ross had chosen seven hymns and with the singing of each he gave a brief history of its composer and an explanation of the circumstances surrounding the writing of the particular hymn. The scripture passages selected by Rev. Ross demonstrated that throughout the ages God's people have shared a love of music. Those scriptures were II Chronicles 29: 25- 30; Ephesians 5: 15-20 and Matthew 26: 26-30. In his brief message Rev. Ross mentioned that over time the variety of instruments played in worship by God's people had undergone changes. New forms and styles of The Londesboro UCW met Monday, April 16 in the Sunday School room. Guest speaker Tami Antaya of Town and Country Support Services *gave an inter- esting and informative talk about Lifeline Support Systems.

Join your friends from across the area for breakfast and get a taste of fresh maple syrup. Funds from these breakfasts are used for hall maintenance. Now that Londesboro is a part of Central Huron, the preservation of that landmark seems ever so much more important. I want to share with you two recent theatre experiences. The Wingham Lyceum Theatre, as part of their Monday Night Cinema series, showed the Chinese film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on April 16. In spite of some apprehension regarding it being a foreign film we attended (in the snow flurries) and quite enjoyed our evening. The Chinese have been making similar movies for quite some time but these are reaching only a limited audience. The writers and producers of this film succeeded in adapting it . to appeal to the American audience. At last month's Academy Awards it won for best foreign film. Apparently the noise in theatres is a factor which keeps some folk from movie going. Not so with this particular film. Perhaps it is the attention needed to read the subtitles or the quiet nature of the film itself that keeps the theatre hushed. As first timers we found the subtitles easy to read. The cinematography is breathtaking and the music beautiful. The film draws heavily on Easter mythology or beliefs. Much use is made of wire work for what we term stunt work. Fight scenes of martial arts are choreographed to seem more like dance routines. Romance, humour, tragedy — this film had some of everything. But there was no coarse language or nudity to offend anyone. If you have given any, thought to seeing this movie, The Livery in Goderich is showing this critically acclaimed film on April 26. Check the movie listing in this paper for details. My second outing was the same week and of a very different nature. It has been at least 10 years since I attended a high school drama production. However, having learned that Stephen Oliver had once again worked up an original script with CHSS's Drama Club, I was intrigued. Seating Arrangements, a show about chairs and the roles they play in our lives, was an interesting production. Our home knows first- hand how caught up in this type of activity a teenager can become. But I had forgotten just how polished and unique a high school production can be. Congratulations to all those involved in the successful production. T.
