ON THE JOB, Susan Hewitt and Betty Pennings were busy at the reception desk Saturday while the annual Quilt Show at the Lambton Museum was in progress. We were very proud of our little pup when he first learn- ed to play "fetch". Now, four years later, he's a very large dog, and we wish he'd just forget the whole idea.of chas- ing a ball. • For -ome reason. Pepper finds chasing the ball and bringing it back addictive. He simply can't get enough of it. And believe me, he has worn out a lot of pitching arms before he ever tires out. It doesn't matter what time of day or night, or what season, or what else is hap- pening, Pepper will run up and drop a ball in front of you. Then he will sit hack and whine, bark and•whimper un- til you throw it for him. If you don't happen to notice the ball the first time. he will keep dropping it until it falls squarely on your toes. Or he'll plop it, damp and gooey, in your lap. -If. by chance. all the balls are lost in the shrubs. then anything will do -- sticks. frisbees, even paper plates. Pepper's favourite halls are the bright orange road hockey balls. He likes the red. white and blue sponge halls, too, but they don't last long when he chews on them. Occasionally. the sponge balls get caught on his canine fangs and he's one frustered dog batting his mouth with his paw trying to loosen the lodged ball. Tennis balls are also fun, because they bounce so nice- ly -- but they tend to leave fuzz in his mouth. and at the rate Pepper "misplaces" them. playing fetch could he an ex- pensive sport. Which brings us hack to the orange road hockey balls. They have the advantage of working well with a hockey stick. When my husband is tired of throwing the ball for Pepper. he will hit the ball with a hockey slick so that Pepper can retrieve it. We've thought about getting Pepper a goal net, so. that he can practise keeping the ball nut. Pepper is happy to retrieve the ball from anv location. Ile rIIIII■�sfa��[isti����ti�s!■ Mary's musings By Mary Alderson goes under cars or over lawn chairs in pursuit of the ball. He'll even swim the width of the river. if someone can throw it that far. U''.ralty, if someone pitches the ball out to the middle of the river, he runs full speed the length of the dock. Then he dives into the water with all four feet flailing in the air. It isn't long before the ball is deposited at the pitcher's feet, and Pepper gives anyone standing in the area a shower. Pepper often scratches at the door, begging Victor and me to come out and play ball with him. it didn't take long for him to figure out that if he dropped the hall in fror' of the lawnmower, we would have to stop pushing it. pick up the ball, and to his delight, throw the hall out of the way. We get twice as much exercise as most people when we go out to mow the lawn! And 'so far, Pepper's only had two balls chewed to shreds. Now, you would think that any dog who enjoys playing ball so much, wouldn't be fussy about who he plays with. But. Pepper doesn't like playing with small children. You see. they just don't throw the hall far enough to suit him. Usually little children want to play with him, hut he just ignores them. dropping the hall in an adult's lap. Recent- ly we had visitors with a 2'2 year old daughter. who was delighted with the way Pep- per chased the balls. She per- sisted in trying to Throw the ball for him all day. but he would never return it to her. Ile was determined to give the ball to her father. and he then gave it to the little girl to throw. Pepper did his best to ignore her. As the evening wore on. the little girl went to sleep in our spare bed. Later. we noticed that Pepper was missing. We found him on the bed, cuddl- ed up next to little Kelly who was half his size. The ball was placed carefully on the floor beside the bed. 1 4 1 Pinery Flea Market 1 1 3 miles south of Grand Bend ' 1 on Hwy. 21 1 ' OPEN 1 1 10 till 5 every Sunday ' 1 May 1 till September 25 ' New Dealers Welcome 1 1 Contact Bob Sandercott 238-83821 ME Ism Irl _ ti Harbour committee okays launch ramp agreement In a recorded vote of 4-2, the Grand Bend harbour commit- tee agreed, Wednesday, that Wayne Forbes is to reeeive 45 percent of the launch ramp in- come for the 1983 season in payment for his supervision.

It's a quartette of .vignettes about people relationships, which not too subtly. dwells on modern people conditions. Simon's dialogue is, as usual, witty and for the most part the four actors have it under control. The first segment of the quartette gets off to a slow start. Nonnie Griffin and David Brown, as hard-nosed middle-agers determining the fate of a daughter. have a tough time with Simon's in- tent. This segment was clear- ly written for the silver screen. Staging it may well be impossible. But from this point on, the sell-out audience has lots of laughs. Vignette two, with Marsha Kash and Ralph Small, take the production off the ground. Simon deals with a casual prostitute and a faithful marriage. In the third segment of the play. Griffin and Brown are noble as an ageless English actress and her bisexual antique -dealer husband. The four actors together in the last segment of the pro- duction mix up anger and love and the silly selfishness of humankind in a wild bash of movement which would delight any person in any audience. California Suite, in the hands of the HCP players, is worth a night out. its modern American satire at the middle level. For Canadians, it's worth seeing.
