Clinton News-Record, 1978-08-31, Page 21This week at the Legion By Rene Brochu Another successful TGIF night has passed with still no winner being declared for the at- tendance draw, so comrades and members, the pot still remains untouched and grows every week; because the eligible winner has failed to register, a- sizable amount is now up for grabs, so members, all you have to do to become eligible is register some time during the week.The raffle draw went to one of our regular members, Derek Adshead, who went home with a wine gift pack. Saturday night was another happy and gala affair for our Legion as Brenda Butler and Keith Bottema were united in a double ring ceremony, and the reception followed in the Legion Hall which was filled to capacity with guests of the happy couple. Guests were from many surrounding gowns as well as London, Ottawa, Hamilton, Kingston, Kitchener, Owen Sound, Guelph, Stoney Creek, Toronto, Wyoming, and Michigan. The music by "Country Unlimited, kept the dance floor filled to capacity with every selection. Our own Comrade, Percy Pugh was the master of ceremonies and he was at his peak form as he delivered an encouraging and heart warming address to Brenda and Keith. Many thanks to Milt Schrieber who again acted as the cocktail host for the first hour of the reception. A special thanks to comrade Harold and Bessie Black and to Eric and Margaret Switzer for the excellent service they extended to the guests as Bartenders: The Legion adds its congratulations to Brenda and Keith and wishes them a long and joyful life as one.

A pair of free tickets for the show of their choice in the 1979 summer season at the Huron Country Playhouse, will be given to the 50th, 100th, etc. persons passing through the door of the theatre at each performance of Springtime For Henry, playing this week only, it was announced recently by James Murphy, ar- tistic and managing director of the theatre. "We are doing this to mark the Playhouse's fiftieth production, the "golden presentation" if you will, of our seven- year-old theatre," Murphy stated. "A different guest of note will be on hand at each performance to make the presentations and help spot the winners as they turn up at the door. The house seats 500, so there will be at least six winners -at most performances." In addition, projected attendance figures for Springtime For Henry confirm that the 100,000th visitor to the Huron Country Playhouse will also turn up sometime mid -week. A surprise package ' is being prepared io welcome this VIP. Box office personnel were reluctant to guess at which mid -week per- formance this lucky visitor would appear. Springtime For Henry is the final 1978 production and stars well-known Canadian actor Antony Parr in the title role, a familiar face from his three years on the television police series, Sidestreet, playing the Desk Sergeant. Performances remain on the regular season schedule, playing Tuesdays to Saturdays at 8 :30 p.m. with a Wed- nesday matinee at 2:30 p.m. The box office is open 9 to 9 daily, except Sundays, , and 'reser- vations may be made by calling it at 238-8451. Canning care important Home canning demands time and effort. It's important to follow all the steps very carefully. The last step is just, as important as the first, say food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, ministry of agriculture and food. The last step involves cooling the jars, testing for a seal and storing the jars properly. When the jars are removed from the processor, they should be Blyth festival holds final show BY JOANNE WALTERS Well, it's that time of year again. The Blyth Summer Festival is wrapping up another season. The grande finale is a -production entitled, Two Miles Off, but unlike its title suggests, the play Try freezing corn While you'f'e enjoying the summer -fresh flavor of corn, think about how great it would be to enjoy this tasty treat during the winter. By freezing corn, you can do just that. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, ministry of agriculture and food, say that blanching is necessary before corn is frozen to stop the action of en- zymes, which will cause deterioration of corn color, flavor, texture and vitamin content. Corn can be frozen on or off the cob, but the blanching time varies. Corn to be cut off the cob requires about 4 minutes blanching time; corn left on the cob requires 7 to 11 minutes, depending on cob size. This longer blanching time tis needed to allow the cob itself to become properly blan- ched, otherwise deterioration of the cob and corn will take place. To freeze corn (whole kernel or cream style), select freshly . picked, mature ears ready for table use. Remove husk and silk. Wash. Lower cobs (2 or 3 at a time) into rapidly boiling water. When water returns to a boil, time 4 minutes. Remove from boiling water and quickly chill corn in ice-cold water. Drain thoroughly. For whole kernel style corn, cut kernels from the cob at two-thirds the depth of the kernel, For cream style corn, cut kernels at half the kernel depth. Reverse the knife and scrape the cob to remove juice and hearts of the kernels. For corn on the cob, trim the ends of fresh corn cobs which have had husks and silk removed. Wash thoroughly, then blanch small cobs for 7 minutes, medium cobs for 9 minutes and large cobs for 11 minutes. Chill cobs quickly in cold water and drain. Package corn in freezer containers or freezer bags, then label with contents, serving size (quantity) and date. Freeze immediately. is really right on. Capitalizing on the fine talents and musical abilities of its five member cast, the play represents life in a small Albertan town. Elnora is two miles off the main highway so no buses or trains pass through it. And as one of the characters puts it: "If you don't have a car, how can you get out?" Elnora and its people represent small towns and small townfolk everywhere. As the citizens struggle to make their town grow and prosper amidst big cities, they swing to emotional highs when they raise enough money to build an arena and ebb to lows when creditors come to close down Harry's restaurant. Three plain storefronts on stage are transformed into various settings by being wheeled around for a look inside and they keep the audience guessing what they are going to see next. Among the scenes created are a bar, a restaurant, a barber shop and a school bus. Elizabeth Hanna, perhaps best remem- bered as Tiger Dunlop's, housekeeper in this season's first production of The Huron Tiger, displays an exceptionally good voice when she sings a folk song entitled Women of the West. Her acting abilities allow her to convincingly portray everything from a tough barmaid to a determined young widow. Kate Trotter, the other female in the cast, is really outstanding. She presents to us a heart - wrenching Mrs. Devlin, an old Irish woman who speaks to the audience about her sorrows and happiness. She is also easily transformed into a silly school girl with pigtails and knee socks. Peter Snell,,last seen as Howard Hopewell in His Own Boss, really shines through in this play both as an old man and as Harry, the bankrupt restaurant owner. Chris Kelk, who played. Robin Dunlop in The Huron Tiger, also shows his versatility in a number of roles including that of a cowboy who reminisces about the,_ days when horses were used for work and not as pets. u, Aldeen Jones makes his first appearance on the Blyth stage in numerous roles from the town simpleton telling his jokes to the politician - with nothing much to say. Jones was seen in The Odd Couple and Parlour, Bedroom and Bath at the Huron Country Playhouse'in Grand Bend earlier this year. Brian Rintoul, for- merly—of Mitchell, has done a fine job of directing this production which requires so many scene and. mood changes. Two Miles Off con- tinues August 31 and Through the weeklies.. Wingham may have a shopping centre in the fall. The Wingham Advance -Times told its readers that Ian MacNaughton, a plan- ning consultant from Kitchener met with council to discuss the possibility of a plaza with a supermarket and several other stores. With the building site set for the south end of town, the supermarket will be 20,000 square feet with an additional 15,000 to 16,000 square feet for other shops along with 200 parking spaces. The Goderich Signal Star reported that the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital has been given a special grant of $140,575 from the Ontario Ministry of Health. The grant was given to ;sist the board to make p the total financial eficit which was iscovered this year. The ministry has asked .chat the hospital's assets of . $298,368 be used to cancel the debt.
