ciety' ? to welcome Miss Ida
White, who is,,ome on furlough •
fromrher work among the Bhils
in India, and to welcome her
mother, Mrs. James White, who
visited with Ida film November
until June. • ,
The president, Mrs. A. En.
moi.. right pinned a corsage on each
of them and explained that the
gathering was to be quite in.
formal,, so that -everyone would
have a, chance to talk to them.
It' was previously discovered
that Mr. and Mrs. Royal were
--�
-celebrating their 20th wedding
anniversary. He had promised
to give a werdome officially
from the,..members of the con.
gregation . and 'when , Ida heard
of this she decided to make
a garlandAr each of them,
as they wot have done in India.
She • didn't have the flowers,
so she made them witbpeanuts,
as they did over there in win.
ter. Later, flowers arrived and
she made two with the flowers
to present them; two for the
peanut ones, two for the flower
ones.
'Mr. Royal spoke of the grand
work• that' Ida had been doing
and of her friendly personality
that made it possible to meet
people in all walks of life,
understand their needs and find
a way to meet these needs
without cauatng any hurt feet.

Ida expressed her thanks for
the welcome to each of theroben

to celebrate.. She asked that
Mrs, Royal come a forward. The
„ two with the peanut garlands
;arranged them,followed by the
two With the flower garlands
and when they were all arranged
several pictures 'were taken.
Miss Edith •Taylor, daughter
of the late Ar. T. Wardlaw,.
Taylor, was present' and spoke
briefly on a tourist's view of
parts of India which she visited
recently. 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.

saying, it was wonderful how
they managed to communicate
lonith each- other even if it was
only a smile or a touch of the

Stratford Festival. Suddenly, a •�•eptemb-ei 'rTh Food om.
No longer do you have to sit
on the bank of the Ayon, pad-
dling your feet in the water
and drinking gin and tonic out
of a thermos. Now you can
paddle your feet in the broad-,
loom of any of several good
bars. ,
No longer do you sit down to.
a good meal prepared by the
Ladies' Aid, for a dollar and a
quarter. Now you can take
your pick of some fine restaur-
ants. ' But the price isn't the
same, I'm afraid.
Yep, the .festival has
changed, and so has the town.
Some people yearn for the
good old days, but I think
everything has improved about
400 percent. One big bonus is
the lengthened season, which
gives thousands of high schopl
kids a chance to see Shakes-
peare alive and exciting,
And that's' the way it should
be. Lon), live the. •Festival• It
was a great idea nobly con-
ceived and executed. It's a
source' of real pride to see
something in Canada that does'
not -flop,. but flourishes. -
soliloquay becomes not some-
thing you had to memorize in
school, but a real man baring
• his tortured soul before your
naked eyes.
Suddenly a turn of phrase or
a shrug brings tears to your
eyes. Or an unexpected belch
draws a wave of laughter. Or
an old cliche like, "A horse, a
horse; . my kingdom for a
horse," . becomes a wail of mad
anguish that has you bolt up-
right in your seat.
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. The' festival is
np longer something new. But
it's as vital and colorful as
ever. And it's still a thrill•. -
