Round `n'About...
Martha Rathburn appears
weekly in The Signal -Star.
For a week I had people
saying I brought the sunshine
home with me - but this
morning - SNOW! - Oh well -
just as long as we don't have a
blizzard to blow the winter
away, I certainly won't kick.
I was looking forward to
seeing the Spring flowers -
and the early ones are surely
doing their best. It was so
wonderful to see tiny violets
all through the lawn that I
was tippy -toeing around
trying to not step on them.
I was trying to get back in
time to see the last Little
Theatre performance of the
season but I did not manage it
- 1,500 miles makes a long
hard drive - and I was
pooped! But, I hear they had
a good season and there are
some workshops coming up
that some of you may be
interested in.
The first one about mid
May is on lighting which
could be interesting for many
of our young men - although
we have had girls doing a
great job in this line - so you
see if you are interested in
things that go on behind the
scenes, these workshops are
just wonderful.
The second workshop is
May 28 on "makeup". This
usually touches wigs and
Here's how to write news
reports for this paper
It is always with delight
that editors of weeklies look
to the readers for information
of goings on in the com-
munity.
Many people voluntarily do
write ups of events and
meetings to have run in the
paper and your weekly paper
is grateful to them. •
But many call the paper,
disappointed when thenews
item submitted is not printed
exactly as originally written.
Here are a few tips to
remember when writing copy
for this paper:
When you report .your
meeting for the paper try to
bear' in mind that readers
want to read an objective
report of what happened
whether it was at the last
Ladies Aid meeting or at the
big fire. There's no place for
opinion in a -news story. Avoid
using "we, our, and I" unless
the news is in the form of a
letter to the editor or an
editorial comment.
Many reports that come
into the news office concern
meetings where a hymn and
prayer are sung. The problem
that arises here is that people
who attended the meeting
already know the hymn title
and the prayer recited. Those
who did not go, are not in-
terested in those details - a
newspaper can't print stories
that, are like minutes of a
meeting. Therefore, that
detail is likely to be cut out of
the meeting report.
What is important is that
maybe your group donated
some money to a worthy
cause. Now that is important
to the community, and to the
general reader. The readers
know what groups you sup-
port and in turn support you
for your efforts.
Every group hears the
minutes of the last meeting
and dutifully passes the
resolution to adopt them as
read. That is important but
it's not news.
Now if the president stands
up and says the minutes are
slander on her or his good
name, that would be news and
by all means should be in-
cluded in the report for the
newspaper.
When writing up your news
for the paper, please print all
names. They're familiar to
you but probably not to the
typesetter or proofreader.
A slight error may cause
some hard feelings among
friends and that kind of
headache no one needs
whether they are in the
newspaper trade or not.
If you have complaints
please call the editor and talk
things over. Your hard work
• is appreciated.
Writing for your local paper
is very satisfying. If you
follow a few ground rules you
can see your work in type just
as you have presented it.
Remember your paper is for
your news and the more you
participate, the more you can
enjoy the newspaper as well
as your community.

beards and perhaps costumes
- anyway - Mr. Clayton
Sterling of Stratford Festival
Theatre will be the teacher.
This workshop should be of
great interest to both men
and women - also Little
Theatre groups from near
and far. I'm sure represen-
tatives will come from
G.D.C.I. - actually all the
workshops will be of interest
to this group, but how about
the chaps who like to do
"clown" makeup and the
church groups and
organizations? Think about
it. It is fun to know how to do
these things.
On June 10 and 11 David
Fanstone from Kingston will
do the directors' workshop -
and this too covers a great
many different things.
This all comes to Goderich
through the courtesy of
Theatre Ontario and Arts
Council, so do take advantage
of this fine program.
There is going to be plenty
of summer theatre in the area
this year, what with the big
theatres at Grand Bend and
Blyth. Goderich too will have
some programs. They are to
be one act plays, variety
shows, and perhaps concerts.
The plays will all probably be
comedies, and you know the
talent there is in and around
this area - so that makes the
variety shows very welcome
too. They will probably be
held at the West Street band
shell so it will be just great for
our visitors, too, to be able to
sit out on a lovely evening and
enjoy an hour of fun and
foolishness.
..with Martha
Anna Melski (524-2768),
whore many of you met this
last theatre season, will be
organizing this program - so
give her a call if you know of
talent and other interesting
things. Warren and Eleanor
Robinson are right in there
also and so we can look for-
ward to a fun summer - even
if it is "hot and dry".
A reminder - the Goderich
Art Club show starts tonight
at the main library. This is a
nice time to meet the artists
and share in their friendly
get-together. The paintings
will •hang for three weeks so
don't miss them.
At Mrs. Morris' drapery
shoppe - North Street near
The Square, Women's
Hospital Auxiliary have their
"Penny Fair" prizes on
display - help them help the
hospital,
Have you called the Kin-
smen Centre for the Mentally
Retarded to pick up any
heavy things you are
donating to their big auction
sale on May 13? In your
"spring cleaning" don't
throw away any old goodies
at all - someone may find
them "just the thing they've
been wanting for' a long
time". So any donation...
I'm glad to see that the
Rotary Club is doing the
paper pickups. This is a lot of
work but it is a shame to see
paper thrown in the garbage.
So have it on the curb (tied or
boxed that is) for May 13.
Are any of you interested in
weaving? The Hand Weavers
and Spinners Guild want to
find those who are interested
in this area - so do call Ruth
Knight at 524-4578.
Rebekah Lodge Card Party
and Baked Goodies is at the
Legion on May 10.
Check the Bulletin Board
page for other events.
Love
Martha.
P.S. Mr. Alen Glen - I have.
a great memory for old songs
- but the one about the Cool
Waters by the Banyon Tree - I
will have to see what I can
find. I'll bet it was one that
Cactus Mac used to sing in
those days, he had some
dandies I enjoyed. Thanks for

The changes.
For the last fouryears, individuals

Many of the responses received have
become part of the new immigration

and principles of our immigration

other provisions of the lavv, and the

and principles:
