Pat Patterson still on job For the 24th consecutive year, the Goderich Kinsmen have, sponsored the Goderich Kinsmen Octogenarian picnic. The event was organized in 1949 by Kinsmen Pat Patterson who is still the sparkplug behind the event...even though he is now .almost an - oc- togenarian himself. "I hope I can look after it one more year," beamed Pat following the picnic. "I will have put in a quarter-century then..:. and maybe I'll quit." This year, Pat and his two faithful helpers, his wife Grace and Mrs. Deb (Barb) Shewfelt, Best yet transported and entertained -122 ladies and ,gentlemen from Auburn,. Clinton, Dungannon • and Goderich. There was a full program of music, prizes and gifts. for all in attendance plus a bountiful lunch served by the Kinettes. ••' Entertainers included Gord_ Harrison and his Rhythm Band from Goderich Psychiatric Hospital; the Don McMillan family; soloist Ralph Hender- son who sang The Lord's Prayer; Twain, Troy and Cindy Boettinger, {itchener with their accordians; and The Band, a group of local young people working this summer on an Opportunities for Youth grant. The Octogenarian Picnic is one of the favorite annual projects of the local Kinsmen. All expenses are met by the Club and the object is to providea full afternoon's pleasure and enjoyment for, their guests. "We lowered the age this year from 80 to 70," remarked Pat. He said many people had expressed an interest in atten- ding and the lowered age `limit means that more guests , can now be invited. Luwrence great in Show-off by. Shirley J. Keller. Although it has been a whole year since Shawn Lawrence has appeared on stage at Huron Country Playhouse near Grand Bents, • the talented actor had not . been forgotten by. theatregoers in the big tent on th "B" Line in Stephen .Town- shi. As Aubrey j'iper, the loud, lieing, lazy lout in "The Show-Off',a three -act play by George Kelly, Lawrence was superb and had the audience eating from his hand within the t'irst few minutes on stage. Last season at the playhouse, Lawrence appeared in The Paisley Convertible (a personal favorite of the writer); Janus; .Dial M for Murder; and The, Little Hut. Right after his Grand Bend stint this summer, Lawrence will appear in The -Amazing World of Mr. Blue, an in- dustrial show at the Canadian National Exhibition. The Show -Off is set in the early 1920's and is a rollicking comedy about the; intermit"' strife of one family_: after tht.^ youngest aa-ughterp falls in love ..with Aubrey Piper, a bother- some bounder who is very unlike her steady, dependable parents, brother, sister and brother-in-law. Although the play itself is not the best, having very little plot or excitement from start to finish, the dialogue'is great and the Playhouse actors carried it off beautifully with the excep- tion of the occasional flubbed line. The set for The Show -Off was the best yet. of the plays this season and proved that imagination and inventiveness can work wonders even on a small budget. There was small doubt that Shawn Lawrence stole the show, but running a close, close second was Aileen Taylor Smith as Mrs. Fisher, the argumentative mother of the bride. She was excellent in the role and the audience quickly identified with the problems of a woman who has worked hard all her life and wants only the best for her children. W. J. Denomme FLOWER SHOP M. E. Evans was back on stage after Bu's Stop 'as Mr. - Fisher, father of the bride. Even though he had just a bit part in the performance, he was confident and well -cast as the burley papa destined to die in the second act. Others in the,. cast included John Friesen, Mary Giffin, Candace. O'Connor, Alexander Pearce, Rob Garrison and Bill Mitchell. Costumes for The Show' -Off were by 'Muriel Reinhart and. Ruth Leonard of The Goderich Little Theatre. - This week's offering is The Fantasticks, the first musical to be produced at Huron Country Playhouse. That should be fun and I'll be reviewing that for you next week. In the meantime, consider getting on down to the Playhouse for at least one of the shows.

Dear Ann Landers: Our sociology 'class is doing a study on ethnic groups. It has been fascinating to learn the reasons certain_people excel in specific areas of endeavor. It has to-do. - with proximity to water, moun- tains, the condition of the soil,. altitude, temperature, and the political and religious history of the. people. - Someone pointed out that all the world's great violinists were Jewish. She -named them -Fritz Kreisler, Mischa Elman, Jascha Heifetz, Yehudi Menuhin, Nathan Milstein, Isaac Stern and others. Can you give a logical explanation for this? -Delvers Into History Dear Del: Nathan Milstein, one of the violinists you named, respondedto this same question when interviewed several years ago. I ' remember his answer. Mr. Milstein ex- plained that persecuted people invariably .turn to mucic to .ex- press their sadness and year- ning for freedom. Over the cen- turies, ° the 'Jews- -have, , „been driven from one. county to another. They were often forced to flee in the dead of"night, with no warning. In the ghettos of Europe, where many of the great violinists grew up, the Jews chose the violin, because it was easier to pick up and run with than a piano. Your letter also reminds me of the story of the tourist in New York who stopped an old man on the Lower East Side and asked, "How do I "get to Carnegie Hall?" The old pian replied: "Practice! Practice!" Dear Ann Landers: I am a 12 -year-old girl with a serious, grown-up problem. Please don't laugh or think it is not impor- tant. Goderich FRENCH )‘ Dry Cleaners- WEST ST. 524-8.452- I have a very definite moustache. The kids at school make remarks abou'f it. I laugh along with them and pretend it doesn't bother me, but it does. I am not beautiful, -but I am not ugly either. This moustache doesn't help any. I have asked Mom to help me at least ten times but she in- sists I am too young to pay at- tention to such things. She says when I go to junior high in Sep- tember the kids will be more grown up and nobody will men- tion it. I don't think it will turn out that way. What I need is advice from you on what to do and permission,from my mother to do it.-Tardrops In Alabama Dear T.: Twelve is a bit young to remove a moustache, but you can (and should) be' allowed to bleach it -so it will be less noticeable. Your mother can buy (at Pny drugstore) some bleaching powder and ammonia which is widely used for -this purpose. I hope she will do so -soon and relieve you of your misery. Dear 'Ann Landers: Please don't- pitch this letter irr your "circular file" because it sounds like so many others you have printed. My' problem really is different. First, ,I want to give you high nlarks for repeatedly telling people to stay home unless they are invited.
