Freedom from slavery is a free gift from God, but a Christian cannot buy his freedom. It was believed that. freedom was gained by obey- ing all the laws of the people.

The opener at the Playhouse, which will run for the next week, deserves stan- ding room only in the barn east of Grand Bend. Perhaps, because of the success of the movie, it cap- tured a 90 percent audience early in the spring. Those lucky enough to see the real thing will come away with a sense of contemporary drama which is quite rare. Things worth considering in this play? The poetry of the playwrite; the simplicity of the set (which allows the words to come through) ; the direction (which puts the piece together); the actors (who obviously love what they're doing). On Golden Pond is a tale about love, and each member of the cast knows that love hurts but doesn't end. At a time in this world, when "'commitment " is a hollow word, this opener at HCP gives up a second glance. Artistic director, Ron Ulrich skillfully insists, that this play isn't a piece of fluff and his cast supports him. Colonials post win on free kick score The Grand Bend Colonials scored a 1-0 win over Strathroy Sunday to up their season record to five vic- tories, one tie and one loss and sole possession of first place in the first division of the Lon- don and district soccer league.
