Before her work ex- perience at the Blyth Sum- mer Festival, Shirley was in- terested in a career in acting but now that she has learned more about other aspects of the operation of a theatre, she is also considering such fields as lighting and direc- ting. Shirley studied Theatre Arts in Grades 11 to 13 and was active in the dance troupe, mime troupe and drama club at G.D.C.I.

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.

Film to be shown "Tracks and Gestures", a visually lyrical film about the life of artist Jack Chambers, pays tribute to this artist's work as it traces his life from the age of 13 un- til his death of leukemia at the age of 47.
