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

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.

Harbour committee okays

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.
During the discussion, it
was mentioned that Forbes
should be advised that fees for
the ramp should be received
for each • day and not just
weekends.
Voting in favor of the mo-
tion were Len Hume, Shirley
Mitchell, Harold Green and
-Tom Lawson, while casting
negative votes were Bruce

during that three-day period.
Harbour supervisor Steve
Riddell reported that during

mittee agreed to have more
keys cut so boaters can use
the Eilber St. washrooms

Father Bill Coughlin former-
ly of Mount Carmel area who
is celebrating 25 years as a
priest this weekend.

on the Good Samaritan. The
word of God is as close to you
as you are to yourself.
The Good Samaritan could
be anyone in your life, not

when you see him and give
thanks.
Please pray for the soul of
Joseph Csaszar and; for his
wife and family.
Parishioners have been

The lawyer questioning him
asked, "Who is my
neighbour?" Jesus told the
parable of the Good
Samaritahi..
Mr. Gilson asked the con-
gregation how much of these
three men are like us. He
pointed out that Jesus teaches
us to love everyone with all
our heart, soul and might and
help where ever help is

SECOND PLAY OPENS - Neil Simon's California Suite

California Suite
worth night out
Playwright Neil Simon and
Huron Country Playhouse
director Ron Ulrich have
presented a heavy challenge
for the four actors in Califor-
. nia Suite currently playing at
the barn east of Grand Bend.
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.

He told us there are various
types of lost souls. People get
lost like the lost sheep, the lost
coin•and the lost son, in the Bi-
ble stories. He pointed out

out to others.
