Round and About
... �
With .Martha.
To start off I'm going to tell
the miserable cuss that Stole my
tub of laundry to return: it to the
Laundramat. I need it more than
SHE does! This happened over a
week ago now and with towels,
blankets and my p.j.'s and other
things missing, I'm getting real
disgusted. You Must can't leave
things unguarded can you?
DON'T SMIRK!
This last week has been very
quiet for some reason (and yotr
know what it is), there .has been
moments , when people felt the
town was deserted. ' Suddenly
school lets out and the 'streets
are alive with young ,folk again
and — "all's right with , the
world!"
This week finds many
organizations starting their fall
and winter season. One thing I
hope they will put on their fall
agenda is the Christmas ',Parade.
We certainly hope each and
• every group — and interested
individuals . will come forward
with SOMETHING °to ' help
entertain children — young and
old — on"'that day. Clowns,
horses, cars, buggies, old and
new, fun floats, historic floats,
scenic*. floats or "story" floats
which are always loved.
•
There are lots of ideas — and
if you just say so, we can get
you lots of help to make -up
these floats. Many young people
know how to make masks and
other papier-mache fantastics
and would just LOVE to make
some of , these huge heads for
your float or clown.
If you show you are
interested we could set up a
workshop and all get going on
these•thin$s — I'll help! ;
I think this would be a dandy
project for the crafts rooms in
the schools. Let the children
create their own Disneyland
characters and have a, fine big
float from each school.
We also have to have some
ideas on how to help Santa have
TIME to speak., to all these
children. So many mothers have
told me of how their little ones
had planned what they would
ask Santa — and just couldn't
• wait to see him — then, when •
their turn carne they were
shoved along because there was
no. time to talk to the kids.
Surely some of the groups could
set up a Santa throne and have a
couple of days or all one day to
• see these little ones. Of course it

COMING NEXT WEEKEND:
"ANGELS,FROM HELL"
"THE WILD EYE"
Both Admittance Restricted.Shows
would take many people to do
this as one person after more
than an hour or so, would just
about slide out of his rocker!
Why couldn't you have Santa
Claus and Mary Christmas and
all the elves with big. books —
helping to run about seven'or so
children thro' at a time? Come
on — you' - can think of
Something — and if the Fire'
Dept. still wants to- manage it —
then give it a helping hand.
- The firemen have done a
wonderful job in past years —
but they certainly need to get
the show inside a building. The
Arena is the ideal spot for such a
party as Santa could sit at the
far end and the line up would
start at the front of the building
— in one door and out the other
— no problem. They could even
have their own ice skating events
going on at the same time — you
might get the Figure Skating
club to have some of their pupils
showing off, which is always
nice to see. They would be
getting ractice and the kids
in the line would enjoy
watching them.
I'm sure it will take more
than one organization to liut on
this show, so let's get together
Come out, when you are asked,
to a meeting to plan this event.
Co-operation is required for this
project so lets see what we can
do with it.
Goderich Little Theatre has
its first play all set up for about
the middle of November. With
all the demands of join this, join
that, — don't forget the real
enjoyment you get from Live
Theatre in a live Town — YOUR
town. You can bowl, curl, go to
hundreds of movies or just
watch TV; join any number of
organizations or service clubs,
but when it comes right down to
"What did i really enjoy and.get
the most for my money?" You'll.
find it was your Little Theatre
membership.
" The membership drive will be
around the first of October and"
there will be three very exciting
and entertaining plays for you to
enjoy this winter. Not only that,
you • have the opportunity to
come out and PARTICIPATE —
be a small cog in a very fine
wheel (or a big one if you wish,)
Your membership gives you the
chance to . just sit and enjoy
theatre or to work back stage,
ON stage or about the stage.
There is lots to do and a short
time in which to do it.
We have a very large
membership, made up -of very
fine members, who appreciate
the time and sweat and tears
which goes into all these plays.
You live thro' every. moment
with - the players and the
director, the lightiJ<ig people, the
stage hands, costume people, the
set builders, the slap dabbers or
painter-oners or even the Jo or
Josie who cleans up the stage dr
puts on thea make-up.• No job is
too large or too difficult for you
and you will just love it. .
It is entirely different to
anything you have ever done and
if you weren't living in a small
town,. •chances are' 100 to one
that you would ever have the
opportuhity to work WITH
Little Theatre!
There is 'an ad in this:Area
regarding the first play which
has earned the name of
"Barnaby." If you are interested
in reading for any of the parts,
then.do come to THE BARN.
It is fun to read — or just
listen and this play is going to be
a ieal fun thing which will
captivate young and old - and
you can't be too young and you
won't be too old...4a
Do •you like planning or
making costumes? We've got just
the spot for you. There will be
lots of colorful costumes - and
these take time and effort so
help will be • appreciated. Know
anything about a "barrow"? We
are going to have to beg, barrow
— 'scuse please, borrow — or
make one. Only God• can make a
tree — but how are you with
papier mache stuff? We need a
few trees. And so it goes. Brian
Markson,• the Director, will
surely be glad if you wish to pop
into the Travel Service office at
The Square and East Street and
make your offer known..He's•a
nice guy — and with some help
from his wife, Kathy Jenkins,
Ron Price and a few others the
,words action and , music are
going to come to life. We will
have a happy comedy which will
linger in your memory for a
long, long time, Now you know!
With love from
