ound and about
I very quietly 'snuck • in'
amongst ' the gulls who were
sitting on the paved strip on the
harbours north .side. Two of the
big •fellows• moved over, some of
. them looked at me but the rest
just went, on ` preening and
snoozing.
!' Guess they, are getting to
know me! ,
The harbour, • on this. my
"writing day", is 'cold and sad
looking. Sad, because most of
the pleasure boats are gone and
everything looks dosed up.
Across the way IPS see the park
benches lined up one .behind the
other still looking very
colorful.
Donald Bert's three tugs are in
the safety °of the small harbour
— and thepoor old Maunaloa is
struggling to get turned around
in the big basin. I suppose it is
headed for a load of rock salt.
This Cargo Laker is very
quietly —'and slowly sliding her
butt end ( or is it Aft). around,
with her nose up against the
pilings by -the Elevator.
r guess Donald Bert doesn't
have to turn ALL the big ships —
just the larger ones?
I see the Michipocten tied up
beside an old barge, still has it's
steam up so it hasn't been there
too long. Must be settling down
for a long winter's nap.
- Well, the Maunaloa is finally
straightened away and gliding
toward me.
• These big fellows surely give
me an eerie feeling as I see them
creeping towards me. ' I ' think
�.. that this is a . hangover from a
time when years ago on the
Detroit River, one of them
slipped up behind'us in our small'.:
craft and it reallystartled me.-`�`
The children's prn4ams on
T.V. often -show how I felt with
this -huge monster suddenly
•
•
r•
with M�rtbu
behind and above me •-- and not
dile to get out of its way fast
enough.
Well!— fray mistake, -the ,.
Maunaloa is tied up to the other
side now. !suppose to unload
grain. I hope they dont bring
those doggone grain bugs with
this cargo, we have enough to
contend with now. • -
But this is the way the vermin •
and' pests are- spread around the
country, Our wonderful
transportation system can't help
but do this — and So we "send our
wheat bugs to China and other
countries and thby send' Us some
of their bugs in exchange. FINE
THING!
The Santa Parade is coming
along fine. We are getting a good'
response from most of last years
entries and happy to have many
new ones come aboard. ,
You will notice the prizes are
well worth competing for, if you
need an incentive to het people,
working at their entry.
We expecta lot of small
entries most of them not,
competing but advertising for
some". of our business men who
haven't the time for a big -float. I
think this is GREAT as these
individual entries are always
colorful and entertaining — so
we can use lots of them.
You can think of hundreds of
ideas for the smaller entries —
even mount them above a
motorcycle or Bug if it isn't a
two -footer. — Or a lawn mower!
What are you going to do?
What do you busy business
folk wanted to doabout holding'
the crowd AFTER the parade?
We are here to help — so speak
up.
We have a meeting tonite -

So do drop hi! •
1 wondered why the gulls
suddenly took off and looking
out 1 spied another Ia . er coming.
in, One of the tugs just zipped
by -- and. is hittingpretty rough
water as it heads out. ..
The Maunaloa is sitting
quietly on flat water but the big
one ' corning _ in is noticeably
b01ng` roughed up. The tug is
bouncing up and down just
inside the. breakwall (I'm , glad
I'm not on it)..
Well the- Debbie Lyn is back
and the Ian Mac is out and
running. Looks as tho' the
Debbie just wanted to say
"Hello" and get the water in the
harbour roughed up for the big
Roy A. Jodrey. Don't want too
much • of a shock after a rough
trip.,
'The gulls are back following
the ship.
The , "Jodrey" is surely a
frequent visitor and it is a treat
to watch it being turned about.
I don't know why it is so
close to this side — the tugs have
suddenly, come tearing back —
perhaps he was getting too close
for comfort!
Well -- who needs help with
their float? Let us know and
check the entry form as we have
to have this information ahead
of Parade Day December 5.

If you want something, just a
little different to do ... 'andif
you have the time to. do .M
You will want to get over to the
Art Club studio in the Queen
Elizabeth School to see the
showing of- art currently on
display._
Called "The.- Development . of
Color in Western Art," :the
display takes viewers all the way
from - the early " 1800's to the
present da — and shows how
the use of color has changed .'
throughout the years.
Those who visit will want ,to
do more than look and leave. •
They will want to study,
' compare and perhaps learn from
their sojourn at the Art Club
,Studio. -
The display is" definitely a
.teaching exhibition, according to
Mary . Howell, president of the
Art Club. 2
The exhibition is on the
move. Its home is in the Art
Gallery of , Ontario in Toronto
but it is travelling across country
for the appreciation of art lovers'
... and anyone else who cares to
take the time to see and to learn.
The mood of the show goes
from the serene, gentle lifelike
painting of La Comtesse
D'Haussonville by Jean Auguste
Dominique Ingres about 1845
through to the startling,

"Augustus Does His Bit" is
the title of the play which will
accompany "Trial By' Jury" as
the first play bill of this season's
Little Theatre Productions.
Rehearsals are well under way
for this comedy by Shaw. -
Set .in the days of the first
World War, this one act comedy
pokes fun at the military just as
"Trial" pokes furs at the
judiciary.
If you doubt that Shaw could
write a comedy on war or
anything pertaining to it, you
had better think again. Augustus
is - a recruiting officer in some
obscure English town, who, for
some equally obscure reason,
holds some secret plans. All this,
entrusted to a man, who when
captured, ,by, the Germans, was
returned 'to his own side • as it
was felt (by the Germans) that
art exhibit worth se
splattering, contemporary work
of Karel Appel of today.
Three paintings by Vincent
Van Gogh in the late 1800's
show the various moods which
can be transferred onto canvass
by'a sensitive artist,
And Points in an Arc, painted
in 1927 �by Wassily Kandinsky is
a brilliant example of modern
art with a message.
Kandinsky described his
feelings for color in this manner:
music, light blue is like a
be would do more damage that
way.
Two years ago, the Clarkson
.Opera - Group-- -performed-
"Patience" by Gilbert & Sullivan
at GDCI. Anyone who saw that
show will remember it -as a
superb performance' by a group
of well drilled semi-professional
performers. This year the group
are• celebrating their 25th year
-and to mark it are doing two
shows, the first is the Mikado,
another Gilbert & Sullivan
masterpiece, to be performed at
their home base in Port . Credit
on Saturday; November 14. The.
second show, Oklahoma, will be
staged in the Spring.
Little Theatre Season Tickets
are new available, obtainable
from any member and at various
locations in town.
"In
flute, dark' blue like ,a cello and'
when ' darker still, it -becomes a •
wonderful double bass. The
deepest and most serene form of
blue may be compared to the
deep notes of an organ."
Alreally, quite a -few school
children have toured the
exhibition. More are scheduled
for a special showing today.
The Goderich Art Club was
able to rent the exhibition
through the • generosity of the
town which provided a grant to
