The Variety Program on Wednesday, Feb. 25th played to a full house 1 Don McMillan arranged the program and Russell Alton was in charge of the pro- ceedings. Alton welcomed everyone and in- troduced Marie and Bill Flynn from Clinton. Marie introduced the Huron Strings - Arnold Craig from Goderich, Lorne Lawson, War- ren Whitmore and Stanley Hillen all from Clinton. Marie accompanied the group on the piano. They played a variety of jigs and country and western favourites. The coun- try and western mood continued with a display of step dancing from Sherri and Kel- ly Good. The musical entertainment con- Jiss&iEili* tinued with a solo from Jeff Hearn. Hearn sang two George Gershwin classics, "Of Thee I Sing" and "Fascinating Rhythm." Russell Alton thanked the musicians and introduced Dave Harman who brought his slides taken on trips to local places of in- terest. The first set of slides were taken in his garden in Goderich and the beautiful displays of bulbs and flowers reminded us that summer is just at uund the corner. His interest in gardening was highlighted in his slides of the Mwn Festival" in Hirrtiilton and Cullen Gardens in Whitby. Thele were also slides of Algonquin National Park. • The March Calendar is a busy one! Fri- day, March 27 Card of Life Clinic will. be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p':rn. at MacKay Cen- tre. This service is open to everyone in the community: The Card of Life is'a small plastic card containing the owner's photograph, medical information and the names of two people to contact in an emergency. You receive two, Martha recalls Whit ' 1 wonder if you're having fun over t cute little burgers that are getting publi - ty..They have been given all kinds of names, like sliders and grease' bombs and others just as terrible. No-one cares what they call them, just as long as they are available. Bill Lohman, a UPI feature writer, had all this in an arti- cle and it brought back memories quite clearly. He relates that these burgers, un- til now, could only be bought in regional chains or local diners. White Castle, a midwest chain of cozy stop and eat joints, was the first or gran - daddy of the baby burger. White Castle sold its first one in 1921 and encouraged the customers to "buy em by the sack.'' Last , year the company sold more than 480 million itty-bitty hamburgers with sales exceeding $268 million. These little gems, one ounce of beef pat- ties pierced With holes and cooked, on a bed of onions are as legendary as the tales of infatuation that followed them. I, too, remember them. ° I lived in Windsor and enjoyed slipping across to Detroit in a ferry boat. A couple . blocks up 'Woodward from the dock seem- ed like a mile straight up. I always crossed to the other side of, the street because .of Vernors factory which produced 'ginger • ale. ' ' I can't recall, but close by you could buy the best Hire's root beer and I still like it. Farther on, on a corner, stood the white, shiny, porcelain,White Castle. Over the'en- try from both streets was teh good looking "Castle" which later seemed to be smaller. • • Many people were surprised to find the burgers at the Midwest Fair in Arizona nited Men's Fellowship sponsors sors handicapped For some two years now men . of North Street United Church have been meeting for breakfast usually the first Sunday of the month, with an average attendance of about 40. Men from St. George's and Knox Chur- ches havebeen our guests on occasion. A spiritual essage is shared usually with a guest speaker. This year the group decided to sponsor the cost of bringing to church each Sunday anyone in a wheelchair. We have had as many as four people using. this service on any one Sunday. Ed Hagle has arranged for the use of the handicap van'. with the assistance of various members of the congregation.. The proceeds from the group's Spaghetti Dinner on March 11 will be used for this project. Society. discusses rabies Further problems the Toronto Society have faced lie in the fact that members of their executive are admitted animal ac- tivists, Through their not wanting to be af- filiated with this society, the OHS had run into some problems. "We know legacies have been cancelled. People have 'called to say we were in their will, but they were taking us out because we were fighting with Toronto," he said. Another area the OHS has faced some con- troversy in was in the farming community. Mr.'Koury explained that many people think of a humane society as a group that takes care of pets. He points, out that he doesn't need to know what a special kind of cattle or goat is to know, "every animal on earth needs foot!, shelter, water and care. If they are not given these, it is illegal; I know that." Fundraiser One big fund raising effort discussed was an 11 hour telethon. This telethon will run on March 22 on the Rogers Cable Network, and on some MacLean -Hunter stations. Flying high tk' from page 1 Roland loved. everything he said from there. For me the highlight was going., over the Burlington Skyway fbr the first time in my life In under thirty minutes. But you know, Roland pulled it off. I think the guy was legitimate. Hell, I don't rare if you don't Own a pilot's license Roland. After taking off and landing with nothing so much as a fender bender in between, I say you deserve ore:. On Sunday I took the train home from Huntsville with three hundred inebriated skiers and a gtiy by the 'name of Rang The Clown.

It shows you that taste,• flavor and aroma linger in the memory for • years.
