than a one-man play.
a natural piece of en-
ilnment that Is both
ting and enlightening.
inly there are few actors
could bring such a work
Ted Johns not only makes it
- • ; he makes it succeed
tifully.
native of Mitchell, Ted
spent a year 1967-68
hing a grade six -seven
at Old Fort Bay which is
ted near the Straits of Belle
on the north shore of the St.
wrence. He then turned his
nts to acting, but his ex-
'ences in OId Fort Bay
yed with hirh and he
rned to the area with the
ntions of doing a theatre
• about it.
It is difficult for a person
,•m the south to adjust to a
• mmunity like Old Fort Bay,
yy actor Ted Johns.
"It isn't just the fact that
're from the south and
• viously an 'outsider', but you
totally unprepared for the
treme isolation."
"Naked on the North Shore"
ived rave reviews when it
ned in Toronto. More im-
rtantly, it was equally as well
received when Johns toured
Newfoundland with it for two
weeks this past August.
He described audiences there
as being "some of the
toughest" he has ever played
to. At the same time, he says,
"They were extremely kind."
Quite apart from en-
ta lainment, Johns hopes that
"R iced on the, North Shore"
will inspire people to do
something about this "really
neglected part of Canada."
At least one person got the
message. Recently discussing
the play, Johns said that one
girl from Cobalt who saw
"Naked on the -North Shore"
when It was performed at the
Miner's Festival In Englehart
last summer decided to teach in
the isolated area.
"I've had one letter from her
and she seems to be doing very
well," Johns ,said..='This is the
kind of thing I hope will happen.
I hope that people when they
see it will want to do something
- even if it's just church groups
or school kids writing to the
people there - that would be
great."
Johns who has appeared in
two Theatre Passe Muraille
productions here, "The Farm
Show" and "The Donnellys,"
hopes people will be interested
enough in the subject to get out
and see the show which will
play at the Blyth Memorial
Hall, March 9 at 2: 30 p.m.
Referring to the great
amount of publicity engendered
by Theatre Passe Muraille's
latest production which opened
last month in Toronto, Johns
hastened to point out, "You
better tell the people that
"Naked on the North Shore"
has nothing to do with "I Love
You Baby Blue" -• it isn't that
kind of show."
"Naked on the North Shore"
was directed by Paul Thom-
pson. Set designs for the play
were done by local artist Bill
Acres of RR 1, Gowanstown
who spent some time in Old
Fort Bay before doing his work.
Carpet of golden tulips
to Murk 50 years
Fifty years of service to the
ex -serviceman and woman will
be marked this year when the
Royal Canadian Legion
celebrates its Golden
Anniversary from November
1975 to November 1976.
To mark this. anniversary,
the Legion has embarked upon
a project which is aimed at
having a carpet of golden
• yellow tulips blooming from
coast to coast in the spring of
1976.
A specially -bred Netherlands
tulip bulb, registered as "The
Royal Canadian Legion Tulip"
is being grown in the fields of
The Netherlands where so
many Canadians died in the
Second World War.
The Royal Canadian Legion,
through its branches across the
country, is taking orders for the
Legion tulip bulbs for delivery
in September of 1975.
Canadians from coast to coast
are invited to join the Legion in
its celebrations and ere en-
- couraged to purchase these
bulbs from their local branch of
the Legion.
Celebration's com-
memorating the creation of the
Legion in 1925 will start on

November 10 — the night before
Remembrance Day.
In emphasizing that the -50 -
year -old Legion wants to stay
young, Dominion President R.
D. McChesney of Kirkland
Lake, Ontario, told a news
conference recently that the
theme of the year will be "OLD
TORCH, NEW FLAME'
Mr. McChesney •' said that
there are.now 446,000 members
in 1,825 Legion branches across
the country. This is the result of
many groups representing
about 20,000 persons uniting in
Winnipeg in 1925 and holding
their first Unity Conference
there in 1926.
He said years of peace have
led the Legion to concern itself
with community and. national
affairs as well as with ex -
servicemen and women.
The organization has
recently opened its doors to the
children of its 'members and
deceased service personnel.
Some 38,000 of these young
persons have already joined.
Another feature of the an-
niversary year will be a
Dominion Convention in June,
1976 in Winnipeg, the birthplace
of the Legion.

TheEmpty Pew
BY
REV. W. JENE MILLER
It is not the possible defeat of
the "Equal Rights Amend-
ment" for women which
disturbs me.
We already have laws to
protect,thewomen's rights, and
they can band together to get
any other laws they need
whenever they want them.
In fact, many women op-
posed getting "Equal Rights"
in states which have already
voted.
What horrifies me is the kind
of arguments used to oppose
the "Equal Rights Amend-
ment".
Not since the sick period of
McCarthyism have so many
people been so politically
perverted about our govern-
ment.
One- poor deluded . female
legislator declared that E -R -A
would result in homosexual
marriages. Professional
psychologists have some in-
teresting things to say about
those who are "afraid" of
homosexuality.
One state legislator declared
that• E -R -A would mean the
. Constitution of the United
States would have to be obeyed
in his state, also. (I confess to
anger feelings when I hear
people say the government of
the United States is their
enemy. I keep wondering who
their friends are!)
One woman lied and said that
E -R -A would require the
federal government to draft
women. (There is not one single
thing in the E -R -A about the
government having to "do"
anything to the ladies — it
simply says it cannot deny
them their own rights and
privileges as citizens on the
basis of sex!)
A state senator in Oklahoma
circulated a letter purporting to
quote his bishop (United
Methodist) as refuting his own
denomination's support of E -R-
A.
One attacker did almost
persuade me. Her argument ,
was that each state should be
left t� do its own thing: I likes,
that reasoning.
If each separate state can do
its own thing, the next time
America goes to war, each
state can decide. to let the
others go do the fighting, and
dying.
There are no weapons in
Freedom's armory which can
protect a' people who are
determined to remain ignorant,
fearful or hate -filled.
