(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Celebrate Living— is theme The theme of this year's Senior Citizens' Week - 'Celebrate Living' - conveys an important ' message for Ontarians of all ages., While Senior Citizens' Week gives us an op- portunity to hdnour our citizens who are 65 years of age or older, it should also cause each of us to recpnsider our Attitudes about older people. 1 We should remember that many of our greatest leaders and citizens have contributed to their communities well beyond their 65th year: Winston Currell reunion held The sixth Currell reunion was held Sunday, June 17 at the farm of Jim and Joyce Oke in Goderich Township. A lovely noon hour meal was served and games for all were held in the afternoon. Sixty people attended the reunion this year, all descendants of Edward andBlanche (Walter) Currell. Those attending came from Oshawa, Agincourt, Scarborough, Mississauga, Zurich, Walton and surrounding district. The 1980 reunion will be held at the same place, the fourth Sunday in June. Churchill, Pablo Picasso and Michelangelo come to mind, as well as Canadians like Dr. Robert McClure, Nellie McClung and A. Y. Jackson. 'If Senior Citiiens' Week can focus on the vitality of older people, Perhaps it will help our' leaders to recognize that it's time to abandon the laws that force retirement at age 65.

It concerns a young idealistic couple who move to the country looking for peace and tranquility. What awaits them, however, is a series of disconcerting incidents that lead them to reconsider their dream of a pastoral idyll. Meanwhile, though, their misadventures are the grist of a comic mill that will have audiences rolling in the aisles. Just imagine all the hilarious events that can befall a couple unused to the vagaries of rural life and you'll have a picture of what to expect on July 3 and throughout the Blyth season. Theatre -goers will recognize some familiar faces in the cast. Peter Snell, fondly remem- ._here.d.. for his portrayal last season of the harried businessman in "His Own Boss", returns to play Greg, a well-meaning but accident-prone city boy who aspires to be a farmer. Angie Gei, whose talents have been well displayed on Festival stages over the past five years, plays Jan, his patient but nervous wife. Kate Trotter, another Festival veteran, creates the role of the mysterious sister-in-law, and Peter Elliott completes the cast as George, a friendly local farmer.
