In the Paul Jones, the girls form a circle on the inside and the boys on the outside. Each goes the opposite way until the m2asic stops, and then your partner for the dance is the person beside you. In the Snowball dance, two persons are selected; they dance until the music stops, then each picks a new partner. This coeltinues until everyone is dancing. The top tunes around here, ac- cording to recorel sales, are still Diana, Honeycomb and Tammy. Here is this w,veelt's smile: The anew recruit met a colonel and didn't salute. "Do you realize who I am?" ask- ed the officer. "1 am this entire camp. I'm in charge of 2.5,000 men." "You've got a good job," said the private. "Don't louse it up." Drama Qwes Debt To The Church, LT Group Told "Although the-ternple ',vas- the original home of the drama, the theatre and the church have often been at variance." These remarks on the church and. theatre were part of a reading delivered by Mrs. Buckram Gra- ham at Goderich Little Theatre's first meet:rtg of the 1957-58 season. The remarks were excerpts from an address by Rt. Rev. James S. Thomson, moderator of the United Church of Canada, at the dedica- tion of the Stratford Permanent Theatre last June 30. The moderator d stated, "It ha took a ng time for the church to become reconciled to the the- atre, and in some quarters the ancient antagonism remains un- resolved. =However, the church it- self had its own part in the restor- ation of the drama, by accepting the role of playwright, to present .

One -Act Fall Drama Festival with the setting -up of the various committees in charge. An adjudicator has not as yet been Enigaged, but if G.L.T. hopes are realized, it can be promised that the adjudicator should hold as much, if not more, appeal for his audience than any other portion of the festival.

It's the one month of the year when I would leave to be dragged, kicking and screaming, out of Canada, my native laid. a a a * Let the poets rave about spring. Let them warble of the awakening of life, the first tender Shoots of green, young lovers with arm ens twined. You and I know that spring in this country is strktly for Mil crows. We know it as a time of muddy feet, sniffling children, winds that give you an ear -ache, and water in the cellar. * a; • Some fanatics will try to tell you there's' nothing like a Canadian w:uter. I agree. Brisk, bracing, hearty, they say. The crunch of snow. The skating parties, skiing week -ends, the roar of the hockey crowd. Yeah. They neglect to mention the snow up to your navel when you're hanging out the clothes, the bucket of wet ashes banging your shins as you struggle up from the basement, and trying to scrape the ice off your wind- shield with Our fingernails on a sub -zero morning. 4 �h +k 4' "But summer," cry the tourist folders. "Ah, in summer, Canada is a holiday wonderland, a tourist's paradise!" Sure, sure. Ask the lad who works in a machine shop in the city, sans air-conditioning..

It holds a rare combin- ation of peace and excitement, to my way of thinking. Peace is a rare commodity, these days, so is doubly welcome. Septemioer peace is in the still, golden days, the settling into routine after the sum- mer scramble, the breathless • blue of the' lake, the massive brooding green of the forest," flecked with its touches of tawny orange. Nature is silent, replete. 4; c+ .J L; Excitement is good- for us, too, and September has its own liveli- ness. The nip in the air at night rouses the blood, stirs the imagin- ation. Life picks up a swifter rhythm. In a small town, ofganiz- at'rons wake from their summer siesta and make bold plans. The children, back to school, are brim- ming with life, and not yet bored. Fall fairs, fowl suppers, the World Series and football games add their special flavor. * I remember one September. I was 12. I had a job working in a hot dog stand in the midway at the fall fair. The owner was nip- ping at a loaded coke •bottle and about 10 p.m. told me to take over.' He said I could have half the pro- fits. I worked like a beaver, and had about twelve dollars in the cash box when he reeled in at closing time. I figured my half would make a down payment on a bike. He scooped up the loot, threw me a quarter, and when I tried to remind him of his half- share promise, told me to shove off or he'd give me such a thick lip I wouldn't get Tippy with him again. I remember one September. I wasjj. In one golden day, I had: dropped a pass that lost the high school rugby game; had my nose broken in same game; been given my walking papers by "my best girl. Enough to make anybody lie on his bed and cry himself to sleep. Knows. what 1 did? Went home, ate' 13 cobs of corn, went out and shot threeames of pool in which 1' made $11.50, and went to a country dance, where 1 met a devastating redhead. 4+ 1 remember one September. Our squadron had just Landed at Lille, France. We couldn't believe our good fortune, After two months of rugged living, we were rubbing shoulders with a city, bars, WO- MEN. There was even a street -car line right to the airport. Six hours and a couple of thousand francs later, a gendarme who spoke a little fractured English showed us which street -car to take back to the field. The cars were lettered A. B, C, ete. We got on the A -car and fell asleep. An haat later we climbed off into the blackout, to find ourselVes ten miles from the airport, broke. We had forgotten that the French pro- nounce L as we do A. It took us half a day to get back to the squad- Pcn, and it took the C.O. half an hour to chew us into small, quiver- ing morsels. 4 a m u I remember one September. 1°d spent 10 days, in a heat wave, tromping the streets of Toronto, looking for accommodation for self and small family. Those were the days of the "No Children Wanted" signs. Finally I found one that °seat'ir ad net bad, for what we could pay. It hod an old gas stove that went off like a mortar' when .light- ed. It had an ancient Ikkbox in which a Couple of pygrales had obviously been keeping house for a Rud�r,th sor ure.lod.T ithad l ff fuhe landlady used if for stenting furni- ture that she couldn`t usie in her other apartertents. Ytanr had to clitnh over a large table to get into the bathroom. "Well, here we are," I said heartily, as I ushered the folks into our first real home. My wife threw one horror-stricken leek about, clutched the baby to her breast, burst into tears and fled. Pipelines On The Wa (By J. Carl Hemingway➢ Pipelines are a very troublesome prop' can to many counties in South- ern Ontario, Some counties have as many as seven miles crossing them at different locations. While we are agreed. that pipelines are necessary to the march of re- gress, they could be less ob'eetion- able if a little organized planning was done in advance. To reduce the damage to farm land, the lines of different com- panies oopanies could be run side by -side in one location and it would be pos- sible to use a much larger per- centage of Iess productive land. The companies first step in gain- ing a right of way is to approach the township council with a very juicy offer on damages and tax grants for permission to cross the township rgads. On the strength ofthis the Provincial Fuel Board, consig of two lawyers and a geologist, takes the attitude' that the community approves the pipe- line and is quite willing to approve expropriations of the farmer's land if he refuses the company's offer for a, right of way. The Federation of Agriculture is requesting legislation stating that the company must advertise the route of a proposed line locally before seeking leases. Also that a public hearin , for those directly ,affected, .must held locally. We, in Huron, have not had this problem to meet but we are told that within five years gas lines will be spreading .throughout the coun- rty. We • can't, and wouldn't, keep them out, but good farm land is getting scarcer Year by year. Time and effort could be well spent if we could cut this destruction to a minilnuin by a little foresight. If any ----of you have been travelling to the, southward and have seen these linesunder construction, you will realize the seriousness of the situation. In the crop year just completed Canada had .. a . quota of 99,700,000 bushels under the International Wheat Agreement, but sold only 50,000,000 bushels to IWA coun- tries.
