What we would give if we could say, "Hello Mom" in the same old way. To hear your voice, to see your smile, To sit and talk with you awhile. A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love could have saved you, Mom, You never would have died. If we could have one lifetime wish, One dream that would come true, We'd pray to God with all our hearts, For yesterday and you. Wheri we're sad and lonelyard everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper, Cheer up and carry on. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Raging storm hits area woman's home BY DAVID EMSLIE Although four trees were knocked down, hydro poles were damaged, and her pick-up truck topper went for a flight, Edith Baker feels it is "a miracle" more damage was not done to her RR4 Clinton property during the storm Saturday. Baker, who lives between Clinton and Kinbum, said that the storm, with heavy winds and rain, hit at about 3 p.m. Saturday. With the wind howling, her first reaction was to get out and get the hydro shut off, which proved a sound decision, as two poles on her property now have to be replaced due to the storm, one of which supports the transformer. "I'm one of the fortunate people who lock the deerbeforethe are stolen," she said of her decision to immediately shut down the hydro. Discussing the miracles of the storm, she noted that her wooden truck topper, while flying over an estimated 50 feet, did not strike her home or her husband's car. Another miracle, she said, lies in the fact that one tree fell right beside her pick-up truck, without putting. a scratch on the truck, and another fell on the house, moving a screen, but not breaking the window. The storm also blew open all the doors in Baker's barn, and she stated, "What saved my barn was the four big doors blew open." A post holding a door, she said, ended up at least 50 feet down a nearby bank thanks to the storm. Her shed door also blew open, as did a firm - DAVE EMSLIE PHOTO CLOSE CALL - Edith Baker of RR 4, Clinton stands with her dog Pal where a tree almost hit her truck during a strong storm that blew through on Saturday.

Overtime hours for the second quarter of the year for Cathy Garrick, Deputy Clerk, Economic Development Coordinator totalled 32.5, Municipal Code Update Seaforth Town Council's Finance and General Government Commit- tee reviewed thc July presentation on a Municipal Code System. Coun. Brian Ferguson said a Municipal Code would add to the Town's efforts to become more pro- active and form part of Seaforth's overall strategic plan to become more efficient and effective in dealing with public enquiries. Other comments on the code were that it would bring up to date and stan- dardize the Town's bylaws and eliminate instances where bylaws may contain conflicting information. Staff would feel much more confi- dent that correct, accurate, up-to- date information is besjipg given out when enquiries are handle. The committee recommended that town staff obtain further informa- tion on developing a municipal code, including details regarding software licensing requirements and a summary of the Town's active bylaws. Railway Crossing Improvement Seaforth Road Superintendent John Forrest reported to council's Transportation and Environment Committee that the railway crossing in town is in very poor condition. The Superintendent would like to sec if thc County Engineer can assist the Town of Seaforth in having it repaired by RailTex. Stratford play is drama masterpiece BY DAVID SCOTT in others, then flip-flopping conver- Expositor Staff sations with a compliment. Her addiction began after the birth of her second son. Mary reueats reg- ularly to the spare room to escape the turmoil of her family. She can't accept that her youngest son, Edmund (Tom McCamus), is seri- ouslyill. Eldest son James Tyrone Jr. (Peter Donaldson) is an explos- ive personality who tried to follow in his father's acting footsteps but only took up his drinking habit instead. He has no problem pointing out the weaknesses of anyone's personality. The casting of Long Day's Jour- ne is close to perfection. (William Hutt) has a drink of into this tumultuous whiskey almost constantly in htalt-y is Cathleen (Martha Bums), His wife, Mary (Martha Henry), housekeeper. Burns, in her third tries to hide her recurring addiction season at Stratford, is better suited to morphine by pointing out flaws in her role as an earthy Irish maid It's gripping drama that will leave a lasting impression in your mind. Eugene O'Neill's semi -autobio- graphical, Pulitzer prize-winning play, Long Day's Journey Into Night, currently playing at Stratford Festival's Tom Patterson Theatre, is a feast for theatre fans. From the opening seconds of the play it's as if you've pulled up a chair in the living room of the T ynines' home and are sharing their pmbletns. It doesn't take too long to Meet the four family members. (crusty retired actor James Tyrone than her flighty Roxanne in Cyrano de Bergerac. There's an excellent mix of youth and experience in the cast. Tom McCamus '-livers a convincing performance in a challenging role in his Stratford debut as the youngest son who's afflicted with consump- tion (T.B.). Donaldson, Henry and Hutt combine for 64 years of acting experience at Stratford. All four members of the Tyrone family deliver powerful perform- ances. Martha Henry is haunting a4 the morphine -addicted mother who keeps wishing she stayed with the nuns and not met the handsome young James Tyrone. Hutt is magnificent as the drunken patriarch--- who keeps reminding James Jr. not to badmouth Ireland. And Donaldson as James Jr. is not afraid to lay the blame for his addiction and proh- lems on his family and escape in his whiskey and whores. Like in his play, playwright Eugene O'Neill's father James was a celebrated stage actor and his mother became addicted to mor- phine after Eugene's birth. Although O'Neill won four Pulitzer Prizes and became the first Ameri- can dramatist to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936, his personal life was far from happy. He attempted suicide and was divorced twice. Near the end of his life he contracted Parkinson's Dis- ease, which paralysed his hands, making it increasingly difficult for him to write. Although bong Day's Journey Into Night takes on some depressing topics, it's the power of the acting that overwhelms you. It truly is a rivctting play.
