Start of Beard Growing Contest.-9ar Blyth Festival announces its 12th season WI wonders about old age By Margaret Hoggarth KIPPEN - The .East Women's Institute met at the home of Ruby Triebner on February 19 on a foggy night. Happy Birth- day was sung to the hostess followed by the opening exercises. President Grace.Drum- mond read a poem and roll call was answered by How do you postpone old age? The jury is still out on that subject. Treasurer Mona 'Alderdice gave the treasurer's report. Public relations officer Rena Caldwell was in charge of the meeting and read How to Grow Old Gracefully and a poem. The motto was postponed until the next meeting in March. The speaker for the evening was Trevor Wilson of 'Huron Apothecary, Exeter, who' '`traced the evolution of drugs and their use from early times, heart medicines in use from the 1700s and the same drugs still in use. Following a question period, Mr. Wilson w s thanked by . Mrs. Caldwell. Phyllis Pa sons gave courtesy remarks and lunch was rued by Mona Alderdice, Margaret Hogga and hostesses Ruby Triebner and Grace re. United Church News Rev. Lorne Keays presided in the pulpit at St. Andrew's on February 23. Mary Mof- fatt was at the organ. The Ministry of Music was presented by the choir and Joan and Hank Binnendyk, sang a duet. The children's story and the minister's sermon dealt with the symbolism of the cross. The cross is central to Christianity and is the symbol of the supreme sacrifice of Jesus who took on the sins of people so they could become right with God. The congregation was happy to welcome the family of John and Verda Sinclair who were home to celebrate John's birthday.

There will be three premieres, a Canadian classic, and the return of Cake -Walk which was so popular in 1984. The season opens on Friday, June 20 with the premiere of Another Season's Promise. The Purves have farmed their land for four generations but now they risk losing everything to the bank. Written by Anne Chislett (award-winning author of -Quiet in the Land and The Tomorrow Box) and Keith Roulston (Blyth resident and author of McGillicuddy's Lost Weekend and His Own Boss among others), Promise is a moving t - cies. There wilok at the ll be two previewmanocost s orP Promise on June 18 and 19. Drift by Toronto -born playwright Rex Deverell is a powerful portrait of an ex- otically beautiful young woman who im- migrates to Canada and marries a local farm boy. Set in the Depression and seen through the eyes of a writer from the next generation, Drift is a touching and funny play. In 1984, Prairie Theatre Exchange in, Winnipeg produced Drift under the direction of Katherine Kaszas - a production that was described by the Winnipeg Sun's Morley Walker as the best play I've ever seen'. A bittersweet comedy about two 'elderly women, Gone To Glory by Suzanne Finlay, premieres on July 15. Winnie and Lulu live in a ramshackle cabin in the interior of British Columbia and eke out a meagre ex- istence on welfare and pensions. The two worhen maintain a feisty front, .but their lives are haunted by old sorrows which the' conventions of their time have forbidden them to share. American -born Ms Finlay emigrated to Canada in 1952. She has work- ed as a professional actress, play editor for MGM, play agent for such notables as Noel Coward and Samuel Beckett, script super- visor for The Beachcombers, and author of numerous TV Shows and the play Monkeyshines currently on tour in Ontario. The stage premiere of Kenneth Dyba's Lilly, Alta. opens on July 22. When two lovers attempt to free themselves from the obsessive matriarch who rules over the small town of Lilly, Alberta, they unleash a chain of events which forever alters this' small Prairie town. This is an unusual and imaginative play, underscored with music and punctuated by the comic antics of the town's highly eccentric inhabitants. hilly, Alta. was originally produced as a radio play on CBC's FestFbal Theatre. Kenneth Dyba has,, worked as a director and actor„ and adapted and translated Lorca's Yerma ; a novel, Sister Roxy, was published in 1973. Another Season's Promise, Drift, Gone To Glory, and Lilly, Alta. will play in repertory through to August 23. On August 26, Cake -Walk by Colleen Cur- ran returns to the Blyth Festival stage to close the season.,Five unlikely contestants at a cake-bakinw contest ihd themselves mation.
