1983 Run
Last year, Canadians from St &W'%
Newfoundland to Victoria, B.C. as wen as
Great Britain, the United States, Brazil; -
West Germany, Switzerland, China, Turkey
and the Soviet Union participated in the
third annual Terry Fox Run. In total, 1,577
run sites were organized around the world
and over $3 million was raised for cancer
research.
"As of June 1, 1984, a total of $3,190,932
had been raised for cancer research by
225,000 Canadians who ran, walked or jogg-
ed at run sites around the globe. Outside,of ,
Canada, many of the run sites were organiz-
ed by Canadian personnel at the local Cana-
dian Armed Forces base or the Canadian
Embassy.
"The third annual Terry Fox run was a
tremendous success. More Canadians par-
ticipated at more organized run sites and
raised more money for cancer research
than the previous year," says Linda Shier,
National Run Co-ordinator.
"The increase last year in participation,
as well as money raised for cancer resear-
ch, clearly indicates that Canadians are
more determined than ever to find a cure for
cancer. The momentum established through
Terry's Marathon of Hope has'not faded. It
continues today through the annual Terry
Fox Run," says Shier.
"The Canadians who get involved in the
Terry Fox Run by either completing the 10
km course, sponsoring a participant or help-
ing to organize a run site are showing that
they believe in Terry's dream. "They, like
Terry, believe that a cure for cancer can be
found," says Betty Fox„ Honorary Co -
Chairman of the Terry Fox Run.
Not only are Canadians supporting, the ef-
forts of the Terry Fox Run, but a survey
taken before last year's run indicates that
over 70 per cent of those polled believe that
the event should be continued. In addition,
92 per cent of those surveyed claim to have
an awareness of the Terry Fox Run across
the country. No other event has created
such a positive response in helping the
medical world try to come to grips with
cancer.
In 1982, 200,000 Canadians participated, at
1,195 organized run sites and raised $3.01
million for cancer research.
Including the funds raised by Terry's
Marathon of Hope and the three annual
Terry Fox Runs, over $33.9 million has been
raised for cancer research.
The Recreational Lawn Bowling Club of Goderich received a New Horizon grant worth
$11,088 to help furnish their new building. The money will go towards a shuffle board, carpet
bowling, (a new indoor sport for Goderich) and tables and chairs. Receiving the cheque for
the Club are (far right), Beatrice Aberhart, treasurer, and Flo McFarlane, President.
Presenting the cheque were (left to right), Larry McCabe, Mayor Palmer and Murray

Dracula can make you laugh and scream
THEATRE REVIEW
BY JOANNE BU','HANAN
It was with great trepidation that I
attended the Huron Country Playhouse
production of DRACULA last Friday
evening. I even asked for seats which were
not too close to the stage.
I've never been a fan of the horror genre,
so it was with some relief that I found myself
laughing more than screaming at the
Playhouse's latest production (although I
admit that some of it may have been
nervous laughter).
Director Ronald Ulrich seems to go after
both these reactions from his audience, as if
trying to win them over one way or another.
DRACULA is quite a departure from the
usual Playhouse fare and I'm not too sure
how well this departure worked, noting
more empty seats than I've seen at the
Playhouse in some time.
However, if you're a person who isn't
easily spooked, you can sit back, relax and
enjoy the numerous special effects this play
has to offer: Dracula turning into a bat,
Dracula disappearing from the stage right
before your eyes, mirrors cracking by
themselves, doors opening on their own. Oh,
and 1 almost forgot, lots of fake blood. What
horror movie or play would be complete
without that?!
Almost everyone knows the story of the
vampire Dracula, an evil being (based on a
real historical figure by the way) who must
drink the blood of others in order to stay
alive. David Brown is skillfully costumed
and made up for this role at the Playhouse,
remaining true to the television and movie
versions of Dracula whom we have all seen
before.
In this particular play, based tin Bram
Stolfer's world-famous novel, Dracula has
travelled from his native Transylvania to
England to do his dirty work, selecting the
beautiful Lucy Seward (Annabel Kershaw)
as his next victim.
Lucy is the daughter of Dr. Seward
( Victor Sutton) who just happens to runs—
*hat else?—a sanitorium where one of the
lunatics keeps escaping. The lunatic, who
likes to eat insects and ramble on in riddles,
is played with great enthusiasm by Doug
Tangney. His tiny twisted body, wild hair
and crazy laugh make him an audience

not sitting near the stage, you're still not
protected—the lunatic almost stepped on

The cast is rounded out by Ron Hartmann
who plays Abraham Van Helsing, the expert
who knows how the keep Dracula at bay;
Stephen Lloyd -Elliott who plays Jonathan
Harker, Lucy's devoted fiance; Pat
Yeatman who plays Miss Wells, Lucy's
maid; and Dave Withers who plays
Butterworth, an attendant aj the
sanatorium.
The set by Bill Layton is appropriately
with the lovely Annabel Kershaw as his next
Playhouse production of DRACULA, running
eerie, giving one the feeling of a cold, damp
castle with easy access for Dracula who is
always lurking in the shadows or behind a
veil of green mist.
Once the curtain goes down at the end of
the play, you will get no reassurance that iI°
was all just make-believe. Ron Hartmann
tells the audience to remember that
vampires do exist and then sends them out
into the night.
If this sounds like your kind of play, you
have until August 11 to see it.
