Letters to the. Editor
Could become a "tradition"
Dear Editor, _
I was fortunate enough
to be a member of the
cast of "Fiddler On The
Roof", which was
recently presented to an
audience .of over 1,300
people at the Goderich
Collegiate. What follows
are• some personal
comments and words of
praise that I am sure
echo the sentiments of all
of the cast and crew of
"Fiddler".
From all the
congratulatory com-
ments made to various
members of the cast, it
would appear that
everyone who saw the
play enjoyed it im-
mensely. Words and
phrases like, "Most
enjoyable!", "..a first-
rate production!",
"...couldn't have been
better!", "...the singing
was wonderful!", etc.,
etc., left all of us with a
pleased and satisfied,
albeit very tired, feeling
following the last per-
formance.
One out -of -towner was
overheard commenting
that the production was
so professionally done
that it was hard to
remember that it was
being put on by amateurs
in the little town of
Goderich!
There are, of course,
some very special in-
dividuals who deserve the
majority of the credit for
the "almost
professional" product
that you saw on stage last
week:
Hugh McGregor, one of
the music teachers at
G.D,C.I. shared his
musical training and
conducting talents with a
group of local amateur
musicians, and brought
them tonear perfection In
playing --a most difficult
score as the pit orchestra.
Congratulations, Hugh,
and thanks, orchestra for
helping us keep the words
and music straight!
Our extremely talented
and most patient choral
director, Irla Stewart,
with her depth of
knowledge of music and
choral singing, was the
one who put • the "life"
into "Tradition" and all
the other • beautiful
musical numbers! She
and her trained ear were
able to take a hodge-
podge of_ some 50
voices...some very young
and inexperienced...some
very well-trained and
beautiful...others with no
training and hardly any
talent, and mold them
into •a first-class chorus.
She also played the piano
in the orchestra, and
gave us the corfidence to
sing the music the way it
was meant to be sung.
Weoffer
a selection
of greeting
cards and
stationery
that would inspire
Our thanks and love,
Ida!And, there was our
indominatable director,
Eleanor Robinson. She
was the guide, trainer,
coach, workhorse,
choreographer, set
designer, and what -have -
you, who became 'the
"mother" of a real family
of characters.
Without her tremen-
dous drive and organizing
ability, and her talent for
bringing out the best of
what, for some of us, was
rather dubious acting
ability, the show would
only have been another
one of your average
"small-town musicals".
The production was a
gigantic one, considering
the rather limited
facilities she had to work
with, and the talent she
had to draw on. But, her
untiring efforts and
confidence in all of us
made the play the suc-
cess that it was. To you,
Eleanor, our thanks and
,appreciation!
For over half of the cast
it was the first time ever
on . stage, and we all
benefitted from the help
given to us by the more
experienced actors in the
company. , Warren
Robinson and Joyce
Kuran were not only the
principal characters in
the play, they were
responsible for much of
the extra help and
guidance needed by
many of the rest of us
when it came to speaking
and acting on stage. You:
were top-notch both as
performers and as acting
coaches as well, • Tevye
and Golde!
And finally, sonic
words of praise must go
to the support given to the
production by the com-
munity as a whole, The
audience enthusiasm, the
words of encouragement,
the comments about how
much you, as spectators,
Texas oilman irked
enJoyeu till play, are
much appreciated' by
those of us who spent
many hours in practice
over the past two months.
Credit must also go to
the wives and husbands
who sat at home during
those practices, the
mothers who worried
about their children being
up so late, the families
who had to put up with the
N,:arious disruptions and
listen to the lines being
practised over and over.
Our thanks to you for
your patience and sup-
port!
AI•I of the cast will
agree, I am sure, that it
was , an experience to
remember,
Who knows, with the
kind of people whom I
have mentioned in this
letter, maybe putting on a
great musical in our town
will become a
T
"RADITION!"
Sincerely,
Doug R. Bundy

Says energy crisis is no fake
Dear Editor,
Recently while in-
specting an oil and gas
lease for my employer,
Norman Oil Company, I°
listened to a farmer talk
about the energy crisis.
An outsider might think
it ironic that a farmer
was lecturing me about
international politics and
scarcity. But I know rural
folk ramble as a means to
size up a stranger and
that the topic of
discussion ` isn't really
that important.
But I was amazed at his
sophistication Of tour -se,
perhaps being in "oil`
country, he had thought
about it more and talked
to other people...rather
than the wishful delusions
other people like to
conjure up.
Crude oil is a raw
material. It has a price at
the wellhead. From th"ere.."
it has to be transported -
by ,trucks or pipelines to
refineries to be processed
into numerous grades of
fuel. Take a look at the
Chemical Valley. around
Sarnia. -
Do you believe that
gasoline can sell at the
price thnt crude oil is sold
for at the wellhead
despite the fact that it has
to, be'' transported from
Alberta or Arabia,
refined in a multi-million`
dollarcomplex,
distributed. to . -service
stations, etc.-?
