Well, you put on socks and shoes and sweatpantsand a long sleev- ed shirt and a hat and sunglasses, and spread cream over your nose. And then you make friends with the people who have the Trivial Pursuit game. That's just what we did on our recent holiday in the south. Fortunately the folks with the Trivial Pursuit were a very congenial couple from Toronto who were more than willing to let us join in. Just a few minutes of play- ing Trivial Pursuit and we were confirmed addicts. Prior to this, if anyone had asked us, my husband and I would have said that we were not games players. Oh, sure we're forced into the oc..a- sional game of euchre of checkers when we visit relatives, and sometimes friends can get us involved in a game of Uno. But at home, we have a Monopoly game that has never been out of the box, not to mention a Risk game that hasn't been played and a Backgammon set that hasn't seen the light of day. But once we started Trivial Pursuit, we found we couldn't leave the board for meals. For those who have not seen it yet, Trivial Pursuit is a board game where you get ahead by answering trivia questions. To win the game you must answer a question correctly in each of, six categories - Geography, Entertainment, History, Art and Literature, Science and Nature and Sports and Leisure. The game comes with 6,000 trivia questions (and the answers, thank heavens.) You'll be amazed at what you don't know. You get some leeway in selecting categories as you move about the board trying to cover all six of the categories. With that in mind, I started out trying to land on the Art dl Literature squares, thinking that my BA in English Literature might help me out. And so it did! My first ques- -lion in the Art and Literature category was "What T.S. Eliot play is set in Canterbury Cathedral'?" !laving studied that work, I answered Murder in the Cathedral. So I hunted out.the Art & Literature ques tions and was asked the following - What's the name of the old gray donkey in Winnie -the -Pooh? - What Dr. Seuss character steals Christmas? - What kind of I Will try another fund-raiser Times -Advocate, March 30, 1983 • Page 18 Mary's �ranfon4ucan bike ride is cancelled musings By Mary Alderson animal is Dr. Dolittle's Pushrni-Pullyu? - and - Where was Simple Simon going when he met a pieman? Now, I may have skipped a few classes during my years at Western, but I couldn't have missed studying all those works in my English Literature classes: So much for having an area of expertise. The answers, by the way, are Eeyore, The Grinch, A two headed llama and To the fair. Some of the questions ap- pear obvious - What animals does a hippophobe fear? Well, a hippophobe would fear hip- popotamuses, right? Wrong, A hippophobe fears horses.. Then there are some that are so obvious that you don't get them. What's the last word of the Bible? Well, ob- viously it's amen, but do you think of that when the ques- tion's asked? Then there are some that you don't know, and you don't care if you ever know. For ex- ample, What wps the price of the first issue of TV Guide? If you saved your back issues, you can check it out. The. game says it was 15 cents. To avoid arguments later, you should establish before you start how exact the answers must be. Are you go- ing to demand that each answer is exately the answer given on the back of the card? We ran into a problem when a question asked who married Phillip Mountbatten. The answer given was Queen Elizabeth, but the correct answer is actually Princess Elizabeth, as she was then. Some of our American friends couldn't answer the question at all, having no idea who Phillip Mountbatten is or was. In fact, some of. the Americans who joined in the game, marveled at the gtneral knowledge we Cana- dians possessed - and we were only getting about 10 percent of the questions right. And it seemed to us that the game. although invented by Cana- dians. is somewhat Americanized with many questions about state capitals or flowers, or naming ,Presidents or events in American history. it would be nice if the inventors came out with a Canadian version. • Of course, the biggest trivial pursuit question carne upafter we arrived home. How does one purchase their own game? We spent a day wanderingfrom bookstore to game shop to toy store hun- ting for Trivial Pursuit. Final- ly my sister was able to track one down for us and we con- tinue to brush up on our trivia ey su"li . Granton The Lucan-Biddulph Branch Executive of the Canadian Cancer Society met at the home of campaign chairman Bruce Maslen on March 24 to plan the 1983 campaign for funds. The kits for the door-to-door can- vassers are ready and in the hands of the captains. It was decided to forego the Family Bicycle Ride this year and to try some other fund raising projects. Some people have the idea that with. all the Terry Fox millions in funds, that the Cancer Society does not need as much money as other years, but this is a misconcep- tion. Every penny of the Terry Fox Fund is earmark- ed for new research; this was Terry's wish. Money is still needed for operating ex- penses of the Cancer Society. Church news At the Granton United Church the Rev. Bruce Pierce conducted the worship for Palm Sunday and entitled his message "How will you treat the King?" Lo your King cometh". This was the cry at the trium- phant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, Jesus escaped King Herod when he was a baby, when Herod wanted to kill Him, He overcame the temptation of Satan, and was victorious over His own death, said the Minister. Even those who sought to crucify Jesus hailed Him as "King of the Jews." Death could not hold Him, this King of Kings, nor the grave conceal Him. This was an authority granted to Jesus by God. The first Scripture lesson was read by Jodi Sleeper. Members of the Sunday School receiving awards were: fourth bar, Paul Wright; eighth bar, Ken McGuffin. There will be a Good Friday Service at the United Church at 8 p.m. when the presenta- tion of a play The Crucifixion will take place, followed by communion. At 7 a.m. Easter Sunday the Granton Youth Groups are • sponsoring their annual Easter Sunrise Service followed by breakfast.

Derrick preached his sermon from the Gospel of the Day taken from Luke 23:1-49. This dealt with the symbolism of Jesus entering into Jerusalem, and His trial, tragedy and crucifikion. Daf- fodils, "Flowers of Hope" were placed in the church for Daffodil Sunday by the Lucan-Biddulph Cancer Society.
