ENCORE
With the success of Plaza Suite
on March 20, 21 and 22,. the guild
will take a firmer direction for
the 1975-76 season. Pat hopes to
register the guild with the
Western Ontario Drama League
and to take entries to the area
festival.
A reading committee, already
established, will begin the study
of 26 to 25 plays, and make re-
commendations to the executive
for the next season. Pat has
ideas, too.
"If our membership grows, say
to approximately 100, we could
put on two plays. With our pres-
ent number this would be a mis-
take. I think we should stick with
comedies—pot boilers as they are
called in the business—as the

problems of ligating, sound and
the outlook of the gtuidtioes
notstop at the next 6eafien. In
three years it hopes to produce
more than two plays ayear and to
IP into works with more depth in •
termite of drama.
Pat is also considering the pos-
sibility of establishing a youth
theatre group for young people,
five years of age and up.
"I'd like te see a group like this
started," he says. "We could
work with the youth right through
to adults. Most actors who made
it came up this way. It's an ideal
system."
A personal goal of Pat's, and
one now adopted by most
Members of the guild, is the es-
tablishment of a permanent
home for the guild.
"I'd like the . guild to have a
year-round home," the director
states. "We shouldn't have to ,go
to Toronto or Guelph to enjoy
theatre. If we have the talent
here it. would be good to have a
permanent guild home."
The Grey Wellington Theatre
Guild has reached a turning
point. Plaza Suite will be the first
of many acclaimed successes or
the last effort of a group of people
who really tried. To the members
of the guild, Plaza Suite is an op-
portunity to employ unused
resources for the enjoyment of
many.
As the director concludes,
"Amateur theatre groups are
more aware of audience! appeal
than professionals are. They con-
sider . what the public wants to
see. People want to be enter-
tained and yet they need to
identify with what they do see.
Plaza Suite does both. It enter-
tains and is familiar to the
people. They'll go home feeling
good.'

From The Living Bible
*hen God began creating
the heavens and the earth,
the earth was at first a
shapeless, chaotic mass,
with the Spirit of God
brooding over the dark va-
pors. Then God said, "Let
there be light." And light
appeared.And God was
pleased with it, and divided
the Alight . from . the . dark-,
ness: So 'he let it shine for
awhile, and then 'there was
darkness again. He called
the light "daytime," and
the darkness "nighttime."
Together they formed the
first day.

This is• au. In Memoriam" of
sorts for aMan I Hever knew, His
name was Billy alt', iIa was
in his '70's when be ache, and
before he retired he had been a
farncter,I don't know what he
looked like or what church he
be-
longed to or what hick be had in
making money. Since be spent
most of his life in and around my
old ho m. ctown of Arthur, Ontario,
I would'guess that be was a Con-
servative—capital letter 'C' Red
Ensign Conservative. But Billy
Gregson would be little more
than a name to me bad it not Weil
for a single remark about him
made by one of his friends.
That friend was Jim Hill who
owns the hardware store in the
old town. Jim is a good friend of
mine too and be is almost as good
a source of news about the folks
back home as the hometown
paper. "I'll sure miss Billy" he
told me. "He used to come into
the store every day, just to sit and
talk, you know. Did it for years.
Hardly anybody does that any-
more ... They all think they're
too busy. Or that I'm too busy .
I never got tired of Billy ... I'll
miss him."
I confess that it, jnade me a
little sad to . learn that old -men
with time on their hands no long-
er congregate at the back of
country stores to swap tobacco
and gossip. When I was a boy
nearly every store in town would
have its smoking circle of gentle,
joking old men clustered around
the stove at the back. (Except of
course the stores that were alt
ready so progressive and spe-
cialized that they sold nothing but
groceries. These were apt 'to be
too clean and too full of bustle to
entertain dawdlers who might
come into the place trailing
.horsehairs and the smell of the
blacksmith shop).
But aside from the black-
smith's, there- weal the 'harrow

Agricultural Tidb;iIs
With Adrian Vos
While the -snow was flying I was
in the unfortunate positionof hay-
ing quite a bit of travelling to do
in my.car.:Quite frankly I would
have •muoh preferred to stay
home, for often the driving condi-
tions were dangerous with heavy
drifting and icy roads. All this
leads me to a salute for the rural
school bus drivers. While I was
afraid driving on the highways,
they bravely defied snowdrifts on
the back roads to bring 40 or 50
children safely home.. My hat's
off to you, women and men.

Read in the paper that a scien-
tist proposed huge domes to grow
food year round. It would be ex-
pensive food but that's better
than starving. I have a much
simpler solution. Pay the produc-
er of food, the farmer, a decent
return for his efforts and invest-
ments and reasonably priced
food will be available for every-
one for a long time to come. Keep
on resisting the producer a fair
return and shortages will stay
with us.
The brief from the Ontario
Federation of. Agriculture to the
provincial cabinet points out that
the era of mixed farming, when,
if the price of one commodity was
low another commodity would fill
the gap, is' nearing- the Bid.
"experts" ,have been Baying that
the farmer should specialize and
farmers have done just at
. ,-
net result is that the prodd err .,
single commodity will to nk
rupt if there iS a prolonged .pri
slump.
On top of this comes -the -
fluence one product's price b
on another! Pork was in a shin's
last year. Now the price of beef
products is low esiough to inter-
fere
nterfere with pork sales. As a result:
the pork price is not high enough
to recover the losses from last
year. If Canada and the world are;
to be fed, a solution to the fend
income problem has to be found
and not only in Canada but in the
rest .of the world also. IF the In-
,dian farmer is paid a decent_
return for his product, he ..will
also produce more, for then he
too can use modern technology.
The threat of grain shortages
abated somewhat with the can-
cellation of two huge wheat ex-
port contracts from the U.S. to
China. It indicates that China had
a much bigger wheat crop than
expected. In the meantime huge
superfreighters'lie idle in Van-
couver harbour, waiting for the
strike to end so they can load 4.8
million bushels of wheat for Ban-
gladesh.
HOW CAN /???
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I remove burnt
marks from furniture?
A. If not too deeply embedded
they will sometimes vanish when
rubbed with your usual polish.
If this fails, try usink rottenstone
o r ' finely powdered pumice,
mixed to a thin paste with raw
or _boiled linseed oil. Rub in the
direction of the grain. Wipe with
another cloth moistened with
plain linseed oil. Repeat a num-
ber of times, if necessary, then
polish.
Q. How can I strengthen glass-
ware, and make it less fragile?
A. Put- your glassware into a
vessel. filled with slightly salted
water, which you allow to come
slowl_v to a boil. The slower
your boiling, the hardier vour
glassware will be.
Q. How can f make a gelatin
dessert quickly when time is at
a premium?
A. Mix the gelatin with only
enough hot water to dissolve it,
then use ice water for the re-
maining amount of liquid. The
gelatin will set in just a few
minutes. Add fruit if you wish,
but be sure it is ice-cold.
Q. How can I make imy own
handy household glue?
A. One good formula consists
of one cup ofgranulatedlaundry
starch to which is added enough
water to produce a liquid of
whipping -cream consistency.
Bring this rnixtu re to a boil,
then allow to cool.
Q. 'How can I prepare a good,
economical, antique -like stain
for pine wood?
A. Strong tea, diluted with a
little -water, makes a very good
one. When dry, cover with two
thin coats of fresh whife shellac,
and when that has dried, wax
for a f ne finish.
Q. How can I soften a stiffened
chamois?
A. By giving it a lengthy rinse
in two quarts of lukewarm water
to which a tablespoon of olive
oil has been added Many other
such easy -to-do household tips
are included in my new book.
Q. What is a quick remedy for
a loose tile In the hearth of,a
fireplace?
A. Lift out the loose tile, pour
in hot paraffin, then quickly re
place the tile, and it should re.
main in place indefinitely.
Q. How can I clean zinc?
A. Just about the easiest and
simplest way is to rub it off with
o cloth moistened with ketrostne
