CHICKEN 235-2665
Odds `n ends
over a certain motel and one
of his innovations was a
breakfast nook for guests
only. The small room had a
u -shaped counter with a
dozen stools.
The waitresses were ob-
viously new at the job. They
had difficulty finding things.
like the menus. One of the
ladies- set a plate on the
stove. It was alright until she
turned on the wrong burner.
A sudden explosiotr and a
flying plate sent two burly
truck drivers ducking behind
the counter.
In another yestaurant, we
ordered the special of the
day veal cutlet.
"Oh,. is that what's on
today'" the waitress asked.
Then she.explained That she
had just come on duty and
hadn't had time to read the
menu. The three of us read it
together.
Since neither Joan nor I
speak French, we expected a
few problems in Quebec.
Surprisingly nothing hap-
pened until we were on our
way home. We found a menu
in -French only and a
waitress. who didn't speak
English.
We resorted to pointing
and thought everthing was
alright until she came back
with one hot chicken sand-
wich -and two chicken
breasts. She must have
thought wtt .were hearty
eaters!
With a few more gestures
and halting speech, we -.x-
plained the mistake and she
graciously took back one of
the chicken=breasts.
Our final dilemma hap-
pened in Old Fort Henry at
Kingston. We loitered in the
gift shop and thought we had
missed our guided tour. We
spied a group just entering
the officers' quarters and
rushed to catch up. We Went
only a short distance before
we realized we were with a
group of Lions' Club
members and their wives
from the United States.
Oh well, no one told us to
get lost. I guess they knew
we already had.
Success
at Blyth
Unanimously favourable
reviews and unprecendented
advance sales have marked
the opening week of the
Blyth summer Festival.
Critics from as far away as
Toronto, London and
Calgary have cast their
votes of approval behind the
first two productions.
Alice Gjb4 of the Huron
Expositor called "This
Foreign Land" "...a
haunting production—both
funny and moving by turn."
Jim Fitzgerald of the Clinton
News -Record said "...it
(This Foreign Land) is
better than most of the
million dollar productions at
Stratford."
Gina Mallet of the Toronto,
Star said:. "Blyth, in fact,
seems a model for a
theatre's development..."
there isaS yet no discernible
gap between what the
festival wants to do and what
the audience wants to see."
The second production,
"I'll Be Back For You Before
Midnight" prompted London
Free Press critic Doug Bale
to enthuse: ".,.a first-rate
thriller...I wouldn't be at All
surprised to see Colley's play
end up on Broadway."
Audiences have echoed the
critics' support with their
ticket orders. Advance ticket
sales for all performances
are much higher than at this
point last year; although
there are s,iU plenty of
, tickets available- for most
performance gone arm
urged to nl`dke Ui TF reser-"
vations as early as possible
to avoid disappointment,.
particularly for week end
performances.
. The next opening at the
Blyth Sumer Festival
occurs on July 24 when
"McGillicuddy's Lost
Weekend" hits the stage,
closely followed by the
Opening of "Child" on
August 2. Tickets for all
these plays and for The
Death of the Donnellys,
which opens August 21, are
available by calling 523-9300
or at most ticket outlets

pearance in Huron Park for
both groups on August 14.
Session number 1 will be

"Keep up the good work
gals."
The Huron Park wading
pool opened this week to
Huron Park and area tots.
Helen Muller will be
supervising the, pool which
will be open Monday to
Friday 1-3 p.m.
We are requesting that -all
youngsters - wear bathing
suits and 'tots under three
must be accompanied by an
adult. Please no diapers.
We have had problems
with glass being thrown into
the wading pool as well as
' the large pool and we are
pleading wit,h people to
please refrain from throwing
bottles into areas where
youngsters will be playing
and swimming.
11 not only makes clean-up
lengthly and costly but can
cause serious injury if some
of these pieces of glass are
missed during clean-up and
may eventually lead to total,
shut -down if these events do
not subside. Remember
these are your pools!
