It is very different from ,the Bhil field where our WMS has its work. . A 'very 'unusual part of the meeting came,when Mrs. White and Ida told real life stories of what they had done and seen, ' One would remind the other of something worth telling and al. though Mrs., White couldn't un. -derstand what the women were saying, it was wonderful how they managed to communicate lonith each- other even if it was only a smile or a touch of the hand in sickness. e t-.-aimmli o usualhat what was coming next, and -no • even . thinking of the time.

This year we wound up our summer with a real bash of play -going at Stratford. It was great. Even Kim, the 16 -year- old' cynic, .admitted, •"I really dig that Shakespeare." Fourteen years ago, my, wife and I saw a production Of Ri- chard III, with the great Alec.,. Guinness starring. It was the first season of the festival, when the theatre was a huge tent, rotten hot in• midsummer. But it was something new, col- orful and vital on the Cana- dian scene. We were thrilled. This year, we saw the same play, with British actor Alan Bates playing the emotionally and physically warped Richard. There's , a handsome theatre, air-conditioned.
