"This is how it looks to nae. •• A friend is the one sure thing we can depend upon in the most uncertain of times. A friend is the one from whom we accept criticism knowing it is fair and con- structive. A friend is the one with whom we want to share our troubles , triumphs, joys an secrets. A friend is someone we know we can turn to at anytime. But. the best friend of all is the one who lets us know that we are thought of as a friend as well. And in the end. the give and take of friendship is balanced. The subject of friends and triendsefiip has kept writers' pens busy since time began. For example. "Friendship is the comfort, the inex- pressible comfort of feeling safe with a person. having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are. chaff and grain together. certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of comfort blow the rest away." -Author Unknown Helaire Belloc wroter: "From homes and first beginnings Out of the undiscovered ends. There's nothing worth the wear of winning But laughter and the love of friends.. The following are two selec- tions by Lucille Boesken. The first explains it is the "Little things" that count. It's the little things that others do That make life more worthwhile The unexpected courtesy The sunshine of a smile The hand reached out in sympathy When skies are dark and gray The words of warm en- couragement When dreams have gone astray The special little kindnesses A favour here and there Each one a token from the heart That says •I really care' So. count the 'little things' worthwhile And treasure them no end They mean you have the best in life - They show you have a friend •• The second poem describes the importance of going through life "Side By Side With A Friend." •°A friend is a special posses- sion Whose value increases with years Someone who doesn't for- sake us When a difficult moment appears Someone who lights up the darkness With a smile that's as warm as the sun Who rejoices with us when we're happy Who praises the good we have done And our road will be smooth and untroubled No matter what cares life may send If we travel the pathway together And walk side by side with a friend." Katherine Nelson talks about all the things that can be shared with friends: "God put such lovely things on earth The miracle of Spring's rebirth The quiet peace of fallen snow, The crimson sunset's afterglow, White -capped waves upon the seas. Leafy boughs and budding trees, Blossoms lifting thirsty heads, A colour blend of flowerbeds... But more than these, God's goodness brings Friends to share these lovely things!" "Friends are Where You Find Them" points out Elizabeth M. Gerus: "Friendship is a funny thing It simply can't by planned In just a twinkling two hearts meet And feel and understand And from that brief begin- ning • J % FORTHCOMING MARRIAGE — Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Dykstra are pleased to announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter Grace Shirley, to Randy William Gordon son of Mr. and Mrs. William Yearley.

Detail program for Blyth theatre Artistic director Janet Amos has announced five plays and an expanded nine week season as part of the. Exeter Pharmacy Ltd. Main Street 235-1570 4 v 1981 Blyth Summer Festival opening July 3. Quiet in the Land, Anne Chislett's story of a young Amish man madly in love with the girl of his dreams, at odds with his father and questioning his elders will open the season. Miss Chislett, who adapted A Summer Burning for the 1977 Festival recreates the weddings, ceremonies and songs of the Amish people as background to this warm story. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of millionaire theatre owner Ambrose Small is explored in Love or Money. Carol Bolt, author of Red Emma, One Night Stand and Buffalo Jump delves into the in- triguing story of how Small sold his Grand Theatre chain, and disappeared forever. Was he murdered? If so why, and by whom? Did he arrange his own disap- pearance and escape with one of his favourite showgirls? Some of the answers wall be provided when the play opens July 7. Anne Chislett's, The Tomorrow Box, a hilarious look at one Huron County farm wife who decides she's had enough of her husband making the decisions and strikes out on her own is the third play of the season. The Tomorrow Box had sold out houses during an extended run at Centaur Theatre in Montreal roaring with the laughter of recognition. It opens July 28. Fire on Ice (The Legend of Howie Morenz) which opens August 4 is a tribute to the hockey player from Mitchell and Stratford who became the idol of millions playing for the Montreal Canadiens. The comedy of Keith Roulston (His Own Boxx, McGillicuddy's Lost Weekend) is teamed with the music of John Roby (The Life that Jack Built) to make it a lively retelling of the famous Morenz story. He Won't Come in from the Barn, one of the most popular shows in the Festival's history returns August 15 and plays for the last two weeks of the Festival. Ted Johns (The School Show, St. Sam and the Nukes) has rewritten the play from its 1977 production by Theatre Passe Muraille and he'll star in it along with two cows, several pigs and a rooster. It's the hilarious story of a farmer who with- draws from the problems of . modern life to live in his barn, despite the pleading of his wife and family who want him to come back to the horse. Odds'n ends Comes a bond so deep and true That it will last a lifetime And mean all the world to you!" Friendship is something we all 'have to work at everyday: "Begin the day with friendliness, Keep friendly all day long. Keep in your soul a friendly thought - In your heart a friendly song. Have in your mind a word of cheer For all who come your way, And they will greet you, too, in turn - Andwish you a happy day." Author Unknown Phyllis Cult Mabry gives worthy advice on how to "Be A Friend": "If we're always friends to others, If we don't forget we're brothers, Then we'll have an un- derstanding heart to heart... Be a friend - go on begin it, Draw a circle, bring folks in it... All it takes is one to make the circle start." MR. AND MRS. DOUGLAS PROUT On March 6, at Central Faith Tabernacle, Catherine Marlene, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Parker, and Douglas Gerald, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Prout began, their new life together during a quiet candlelight service.

With Pat Dobbs at the piano the meeting opened with hymn What a friend we have in Jesus. Hilda Smith led in the prayer and the Lord's Prayer. The meeting was then turned over to Gladys Sims the devotional leader. Following the invocation John 14: 1-6 was read. The meditation was on depression and ways to conquer it. The litany was said and a prayer of confession. Mrs. Nelson Wells reported two more small quilts finished and asked everyone to bring an article for the bale for next month's roll call on April 28.

Hymns Sweet hour of Prayer and I am Thine, 0 Lord were sung. Mrs. Dorothy Hookey led in prayer. The roll call was answered by a scripture verse on "Meditate".

A delicious lunch was served by Hilda Eizenga and Blanche McDonald, Final show is Misanthrope For the final production of the 1980-81 season on the Grand Stage, Theatre London presents Moliere's scathingly witty perception of the human situation in his masterful play, The Misanthrope. Brilliantly translated into modern verse by Richard Wilbur, Moliere's crafty and discerning eye scrutinizes the foibles and follies of human nature. Directed by Bernard Hopkins with set costume designs by Jack King and lighting design by Michael J. Whitfield, "The Misan- thrope" features a distinguished company ...

Prayers answered Members of the Christian Women's Club took time Friday morning to share experiences of when their prayers had been answered. Leading the discussion was Dorothy McAuley. Mrs. McAuley also had a display of Christian books for sale. She said that she was working with a group who were selling the books at low prices. Julie Knipps of Hensall sang two solos based on Psalms eight and 73. She was accompanied by Tina Visscher on the piano. Liela Finkbeiner played the piano for the singing of several hymns. Shirley Luther read the scripture. Prior to the reading Mrs. Luther led the group in prayer. She said that it is important to pray before reading the Bible, to bless the word to our soul. She compared the prayer to saying grace before a meal, where we bless the food to our body. Mrs. Luther's readings were based on the im- portance of the blood in the Bible. She read about the time of the first Passover, and about the importance of sacrifice and bloodshed. She read from several different books, of the Bible. 1 411)P"Ii• Enjoy visit with 98 -year old cleric On Sunday evening, Hugh Wilson and his wife were honoured by a visit with one of our senior clergymen.
