Livery workshop
to present play
The Livery Children's
Theatre Workshop is well
underway with participants
chosen and schedules
organized. The workshop
organizers have been great-
ly encouraged by the en-
thusiasm and imagination of
all candidates who applied
for the workshop. Fifteen
boys and girls will take part
in this workshop, August 8-
12, and August 15-20, learn -
Mg about all aspects of the
theatre world. Included will
be instruction in voice,
movement, theatre crafts,
theatre games, mime,
costume and set con-
struction, 'lighting and
design for children's theatre.
The children will develop
their own animal characters
for a speciaLchildren's play,
The King Who Wouldn't
Laugh, to be performed .on
Saturday, August 20, 2:00
p.m. at The Livery. In this
play the King of the forest
will not laugh and no one
knows why. An ultimatum is
given: if the King doesn't
laugh by a certain time, a
terrible spell will be cast on
the forest.
The performance of The
King Who Wouldn't Laugh, is
an excellent opportunity to
view the products of the
talents and newly learned
skills of the workshop
children. The play is for
children of all ages and The
Livery Children's Theatre
Workshop invites everyone
to come and enjoy.

Round 'n About
with Martha
Two days last week I show-
ed my paintings - the few I
have on hand, to quite a
crowd of people. In the
roomy entrance to Zehrs, I
managed to tack to folks I've
known for years and years,
was so happy to see them, to
laugh with them and warmly
hug some of them. I realize
how fortunate I am to be able
to do this. But - a few times I
couldn't recall a name - and
THAT really upsets me. Be-
ing absent for a few months
has caused confusion at
times. Once I had to stop and
think - "Park 4t. where is
Park St:?" - trying to get my
bearings. Yes, not recalling
names and places quickly as
I used to can be very
disconcerting.
I guess my `memory cells'
must be packed full - mostly
of unimportant things. If I
could just clear it out, I'd
have room for the memories
I'm snaking now. The brain
is better than the computer,
but we must be careful how
we store our memories or
they get lost or all fogged up.
When we are born, we
have a lot of open memory
cells - but they must be used
or they quickly waste away.
When I was very young
there was no time for
teaching. Parents just let
you grow and absorb what
was going on around you: I
can't recall any really im-
portant happenings before I
was 18. That was when I
married a wonderful, brainy
man who opened up a
marvellous world I did not
know existed. From that
time, I have wanted to learn
many things in art and
music - there was never
enough time or I didn't know
to make the most of my time.
I enjoyed reading his
books - one I liked best was
Popular Mechanics. Don't
laugh - a lot of learning was
packed away in them. I
learned about machinery, in-
struments and tools - all very
strange to me. I was in-
quisitive - now I'm just
nosey! BUT I learned about
the beginning of radio and
television. We always had
short wave. Then came the
experiments on television
which changed many times.
Finally we were receiving,
loud and clear a voice and
picture. The picture was
about one inch square and
the broadcast came from
Perdue University in the
States. Quite a bit of conver-
sation via short wave flew
back and forth. People from
Detroit, Ottawa and many
areas came to see our televi-
sion spread out on a work
bench. A sight to behold.
Tuesday nights at 8 p.m.
the broadcast came through
and we could watch it and
with the ear phones, hear it.
VERY interesting. Not until
the special bulbs were in-
vented were they able to put
everything into a box or
SET.
My husband predicted it
would be 25 years before
television was in every home
- and he was right. Within_
that span of time, a great
many experiments and im-
provements were made and
a great many things for T.V.
were created. Of course the
experiments have continued
and have and will change our
world of television. Just
before we left Florida this
June, my son held out his
hand to show me one of the
latest sets,- IN or rather ON
his hand! The tiniest set
working like a T.V. should.
What next!
It's Tuesday after a
wonderful August first
weekend as I write - brilliant
blue sky on one side and
some snowy clouds on the
other.
The rain held off long
enough on Monday for the
lawn bowlers to complete
their games. What a great
day! I just hope other events
around us were concluded as
happily.
Have a good week. Go out
of your way to speak and
smile with a stranger. Great
erapy.
Love Martha
