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.

HAPPY 55th
ANNIVERSARY
Reinder and Janna Middel
"A truly rich and exciting season of Cana-
dian plays” - that's how Artistic Director
Katherine Kaszas sums up the Blyth
Festival's 12th season. 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

getting more than they bargained for when
someone sets' out to sabotage the entries.
This comedy was premiered at the Blyth
Festival in 1984 and proved very popular
with audiences here. (Regulars to the Blyth
Festival will remember Ms Curran's
hilarious comedy, Moose County, which
played to packed houses last . summer.)
Cake -Walk will be touring southwestern On-
tario, and perhaps farther afield, following
its run at the Blyth Festival.
The 1986 season blends music, comedy
and drama, plus the usual `extras' for which
the Blyth Festival liias become so well-
