Like many other great Canadians, Robert Service is
- an -unknown-.
His work, his life and his writings on the exciting
early days in the Yukon, lie buried with much of our
culture and history on library book- shelves. Yet
Robert Service's works are timeless and his exciting
and beautiful prose should receive more recoghitiori
from Canadians

Weekly readership is strong
•
The readership of
weekly newspapers is
growing at a faster rate
than dailies because
people want local news.
That was some of the
information imparted by
Bob Trotter, journalism
co-ordinator at Conestoga
College, when he ad-
dressed a seminar for
correspondents spon-
sored by the Bluewater
Regional Newspaper
„Network In _Clinton
Friday.
Nine of the
correspondents who
serve the News -Record
were among- the 80 in
attendance at the event.
Trotter also noted that
the electronic media
can't do the job as well as
newspapers, saying that
what news most people
get from TV or radio in
one day is equivalent to
only half a page in their
newspaper.
He referred to rur 1
correspondents as
of the most importaf t
'cots in the newspaper
inachine."
Trotter, who also
writes a weekly farm
column for 20
newspapers, said per-
sonal items in weeklies
were . well read. "The
more you write about
people, the more it will be
read," he advised. -.
The seminar was
organized by Shirley
Keller, editor of the
Goderich Signal -Star,
who termed
correspondents the
"lifeline" ofnewspaperS.
"Be assured your work.
is appreciated by our
newspapers and the
people who 1Ne in your
neck of the woods," she
advised.
One of the best ways to easily understand and
remember a poet's words is to hear him recite his
works and so it is with Robert Service. For even
though the British born poet has been dead for 22
years, his spirit lives on for many Canadians to ap-
preciate.
Since 1971 Charles Hayter, a Liverpool born actor,
has kept the ,Service's work alive and has been
enlightening audiences from coast to coast in Canada
and throughout the world.
In an entertaining and humorous one man shoW
entitled A Taste 91 Robert Service, life in Canada's,
northwest in the early 1900's and the beauty of the land
is recalled and acted out in a performance by Mr.
Hayter.
During the show, Mr. Hayter does not exist. Instead
a vivacious man with a heavy Scottishbrogue fills the
room and captures the audience with such classic
poems as The Cremation of Sain McGee and The
Shooting of Dan McGrevi.
Robert Service is best known for his melodramatic
and humorous ballads of the Klondike. However the
words to his poems take on new life and excitment in
their renditions by Mr. Hayter.
The performance is more than a recitation. In a
flamboyant and powerful style, the words in Robert
°Service's many books of poetry become tall tales of
adventure and humor in the completely metnorized
performance.
The two-hour show is not only entertaining, but is
also a literary and historical lesson all wrapped in one.
As the spirit of Service, the performer tells of his birth
in 1874, the first poems he wrote, his immigration to
_Canada, his return to Europe and his death. The
autobiographical performance is enhanced with
poems, that take on new and more in-depth meanings
once the audience has an understanding and a first
hand impression of the man behind the words.
Any Canadian who appreciates good entertainment
or 'has an interest in their country and its culture
should see A Taste Of Robert Service.
'The slit -Ay; which played at CHS$ on April 24, at the
Clinton Legion on April 30 and, will be shown this af-
ternoon (May 1) at Huronviewis more than a poetry
recitation. It's a first rate spiritecTperformEtnce from
the spirit himself.
Barry Wenger,
publisher of the Wingham
Advance -Times, told the
seminar that the writing
ability of weekly
newspaper reporters is
"quite superior to what
we find in dailies." He
said this was due in part
to the excellent supply of
trained journalists being
turned out by community
colleges, such as
C,onestoga.
