'Tile highlight of last week's
viewing had to 'be the, 90-min•-
ute film on The Royal Family,
see, n on°the CBC on Sunday
evening, the Nth. Never be-
fore have we seen the Queen
and her family like this --such
intimate glimpses into lives .
that usually are lived behind
walls. Now we know what hap-
pens ,when the doors' close, when
the lights go out, when t h e
jewels and gowns are. laid away •
until 'the next grand occasion.
We found,' Maybe to our sur-
prise, that the Royal Family is
Just.like any other. ,Together,
they like to enjoy a few laughs
over dinner, they like to 'get
away from it.all' in' the sum-
mer And enjoy a boat ride or a
barbecue, and for them, like
the rest of us; happiness is trim-

The family ins close-knit and -
-sincere in their feelings for each
other. Prince Philip is no sur-
prise as he is as warm, friendly
and good-humoured'on a Royal
tour as he is at home, and his
son Charles is very much like
him. The Queen too, is unaf-
fected and friendly, and now at
last we know what she says when
she meets her guests (I, for one,
have always wondered). It is
small talk, really, about things
she probably couldn't care less
about but she does it, I suppose,
to make a person feel at home .
and a little less nervous. She
always plays the lady and 'keeps
her cool', not quite as emotion-
al as her sister Margaret. Her -
son apparently feels he won't

to me, I would just dissolve ! "
The two younger boys were
not seen a great deal, the cute
wee Ed ward appearing a bit
more than Andrew. Princess
Anne was much more quiet and
• shy than many stories lead us to
believe; she seemed afraid to '
move when the camera was on
her. Basically, the film was
tops --about a modern and fame.,
ous family who are trying to
narrow the gap between- ruler
and subject. And now all you
businessmen who complain can
count your blessings. What
would ,you do if The Queen
walked into your store? I'm

This is changing the subject
rather drastically, but did you
know the Patsy awards have
beery presented in Holywood? .
You don't know what they are?
Well, they are the equivalents
of the Oscar and the Emmy --
only the Patsy goes to an ani-
mal, not a people! The TV
award went again to Arnold the
Pig`for the second consecutive
year. He stars on ':Green
Acres", and defeated among
others, Gentle Ben the Bear,
Judy the Chimp and Clarence
the Lion from "Daktari", and
dogs Lassie and Scruffy. from
'.Ghost and Mrs. Muir'. The
winner from films was the title
star of "The Horse in the Grey
Flannel Suit" who defeated,
among others, the cheetah from
"Sweet Charity" and the cat
frair aiiDatn Cat" 4"b`c
chimp from "Beverly Hillbillies' •
and Lassie received special
awards. If you think this is
something new, forget it; the
Patsys started 18 years ago when
Francis the Talking Mule walk-
ed away with the first award!

Recreation Report
BY JIM WARD
-r-
Three weeks ago a question-
naire was published in this pa-
per and to follow it up a simil-
ar one was distributed through
the elementary schools. The
purpose was to determine the
interests and desires of the peo-
ple for leisure time activities.
For the adults several programs
will also be advertised by F. E.
Madill Secondary School night
school (The advertisement is
found in this issue of the Ad-
vance -Times). If you have
sent in notice that you would
like to participate in interior
decorating, -bridge, millinery,
keep fit classes or volleyball,
please register with the school.
The volleyball will be part of
the keep fit or physical fitness
program.
We are not attempting to
compete for the business of just
keeping your interest at heart.
Basketball, badminton, flower
arranging and Christmas decor-
ating will be offered.

MINOR FOOTBALL
Forty-nine boys from 9 to 14
years have registered and turn-
ed up last Saturday for the first
day's outing. Practices have
been called by the coaches for
the various teams and will
take place at the Town Park
ball field. The games take
place Saturday at the high
school football field. Eight
people have shown interest in
coaching. If you have some in-
terest in the game we hope you
will help. Many hands make
the job lighter.
ARENA HOCKEY
The arena has had the play-
er's benches and penalty box
renewed and the end boards
next the front door will be re-
placed before the doors- pen.
This is the first part of renew-
ing sections of the arena. A
five-year program of refurnish-
ing the arena fs in the process
of being worked on. This is
the first step, of renewing the
boards.
It is six weeks until hockey
gets underway. It is the hope
of the Recreation and Commun-
ity . centres Board that all who
register will play hockey and
that house leagues will be set
up to run these leagues.
Teams tie games
On Saturday evening Mount
Albert and Whitechurch Jr. C
softball teams played at Mild-
may with a 4-0 scorc in favor
' of Mount Albert. This is an
O, A. S. A. series with the best
out of 3. Each team now has a
win. The next game will de-
cide which team advances in

This, assistance was behind the
scenes, but it was there.
There was a church . parade
on Saturday instead of Sunday,
due to the fact that our regi-
Rrn tal padre, Rev. M. E. Brooks
of Listowel, had to be avail-'
able for his own church service
on Sunday morning. However;
all ranks attended church on
Saturday afternoon. R. C. per-
sonnel attended service Sunday
morning in Forest.
Sunday Morning was pay
parade which was administered
by Capt. K. M. White and Sgt.
J. Outhit of Base London. These
people, do not normally pay a
unit but they wanted to see all
of the unit at one time and this
was their opportunity. They
were most pleased with the de
• partment and bearing of the
men on pay parade and were
further delighted with the very
few administrative 'enquiries
from personnel regarding their
respective pay problems.:
As for the technical details
of the shooting, 97 Bty, Walk-
erton walked off with all of the
individual shooting prizes, but
not the real big, one, that being
the Lt. Col. R. S. Hethering-
ton trophy , which went to 99
Field Bty of Wingham. 99 Bty
had the highest aggregate score.
The individual prize winners
were: Gnr. D. E. Potts, high-
est Gunner or Jr. NCO. scores,
$5.00; MWO, Bty Sgt. Maj. R.
J. Kramer of Mildmay won the
Sr. NCO shoot, $5.00; Capt. J.
H. Abbott won the officers' pool,
which amounted to $8.25.
Capt. R. E. Wareham of
Blyth received the R. S. Heth-
erington trophy on behalf of 99
Bty. This is the second year in.
a row for 99 Bty to take this
most coveted prize.
The weather for the week-
end was ideal for range work.
In fact, the Old Gunner even
took up ye old fire stick and
fired a few. Comments were
that he could have done better
if he had fixed bayonets and
charged the various targets, or
maybe he would do better with
a sling shot. The old eyeballs
are just not the same as they
used to be. However, with siich
fine weather and the smell of
oil and cordite, all were in high
spirits.
Then came the barbecue for
the Gunners of the unit on Sat-
urday evening. , This, in fact,
was attended by all ranks of the
Unit, the cooking being done by
two of our newly qualified cooks,
Gnr: G. A. Moore of 100 Bty,
Listowel and Gnr. J. C. Schnurr
of 97. Bty, Walkerton.
Sunday afternoon there was a
regimental parade and Lt. Col.
R. P. Ritter presented the Col.
Hetherington trophy to 99 Bty,
Wingham and many other awards
for dualifications, and t•w o
Queen's Commissions which
were announced in this column
previously and are covered by
pictures elsewhere in this paper.
This fine coverage was carried
out by Bdr. David Wenger who
not only took care of this part
of the show but was . also helpful
in all other events mentioned
in this column.
All of this was really over -
Shadowed by the greatest honor
that can be bestowed on a Reg-
iment, the facts of which are
covered elsewhere in this paper.
