Colorful costumes, intricate routines and the determined ef- forts -forts of -70 hone town youngsters along with a Pew guests brought rounds of applause. The members of the cast took their, audience on a Round the World Tour, featuring costumes from many lands, Costumes ranged from Scottish outfits to Mexican sombreros, The, local club has not been in operation too long, and most of the youngsters are really just getting started at figure skating in a serious way. But the guests on the show gave an indication of what can be expected from the local club members in the future. Donald Knight of Dundas, Junior Men's 'Canadian champion 1961, gave two demonstrations of his sparkling ability and' was called back for an encore. Two little youngsters from Sea - forth also gained the admiration of the audience in their pairs numbers. Mary Sills aged 10, and Bruce Brady aged 12, went through spins, jumps and lifts in a fine display. But local youngsters were not outdone by the visitors. A num- ber of them took solo parts, in- cluding Cathy Fouse, Don Rose- brugh, Carol Ruppel, Anne rash, Sylvia Fitch and Georgia Hodgins. Miss Hodgins had a particularly difficult number doing a "sword dance” complete with two swords. Some of the footwork was ex- tremely difficult but she carried it off well. One number provided the aud- ience with a few chuckles. The Mexican Hat Rack, done by a number of the tiny tots in the club, with two of the very tiniest wearing big hats, was difficult in that the two youngsters had to peer out from under the big hats. One youngster's chapeau kept falling over her eyes, so finally she took it off and parked it on the ice and went on with the job at hand. Two youngsters who cane up with a fine performance were Dan Rosebrugh and Pat Watkins. Their colorful Spanish dancers' costumes added to the number as they did a dance routine. Some colorful scenery, built by figure skating club officials add- ed to the show Makeup for the show was sup- plied by the Preston Operatic Society. Master of Ceremonies "Big Al” :Jones from Kitchener kept the show moving along smoothly. The finale brought the entire cast to the ice, with a blaze of colour from their costumes. Club professional Miss Faye Love, who did the choreography for the show, and also skated a solo num- ber, was presented with a bou- quet of red roses. For their first venture into a skating carnival, the club did not try to be too ambitious. They did not go into difficult lighting ef- , fects or a lot of scenery and elab- orate costumes. But the simplic- ity of the show added greatly to it, and the fact that it was suc- cessful will probably mean more ambitious productions in the fu- ture. There were a number of en- quiries from interested parents and spectators about the club, and the possibilities for next year. TUCKERSMITH A set of Maundy money given by Queen Victoria in 1896 was discovered in the attic of a Sea - forth area home recently, recall- ing centuries-old religious rituals associated with Good Friday. The set, a silver penny, and two, three and four -pence pieces —were found by George T. Flew- itt, of RR 3, Seaforth. London nu- mismatist Byron Swayze, who has six or seven such sets, estimates their value at about $5. But their real value is not coun- ted in monetary terms. They are a symbol of the monarch's humil- ity and an expression of Christ's new commandment given at the Last Supper: To love thy neighbor. (The word maundy comes from the Latin word maun- datum, meaning command). Maunday Thursday, in Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches is celebrated by the traditional stripping of the altar, a symbol of baring one's sins before God in preparation for Good Friday. Maundy money is still given out by Queen Elizabeth, and a ritual preceding the money presenta- tions ---that of washing the feet I of the poor— is still followed by the Popo, bishops and priests, The traditional rites of Main . dy Thursday have their origin in the ancient ohut•oh in ceremonies designed to show both humility, compassion and love; Maundy Thursday is sometimes called Sheer or Ohare Thursday, either in allusion to the "sheer- ing" of heads and beards in pre- paration for Easter or, in the word's Middle English sense of "pure", In allusion tothe ablu- tions of the day, These wore the washing of feet of 12 or more poor men or beggars, and the cer- emony continued until the mid - eighteenth century, As, long ago o as the fourth cen- tury, the rite of foot washing was common and was performed by the Pope, prelates, priests and nobles. In England, the king washed the feet of as many poor men as he was years old, and then distributed meat, money and clothes to them. Encyclopedia Britannica re- cords that Cardinal Wolsey, in 1530 "made his tnaund in Our Lady's Chapel, having 59 poor men whose feet he washed and kissed; and after he had wiped them he gave every one of the said poor men 12 pence in money, three ells of good canvas to make them shirts, a pair of new shoes, a cast of red herrings and three white herrings". Queen Elizabeth I performed the ceremony—it was then call- ed "the paupers' feet"—but the feet were first washed by yeomen of the laundry with warm water and sweet-smelling herbs,; Ong ByceremAboutony had 1760, the been footabandawn - ed. In its place the ceremony be- came a presentation of Maundy money, or Maundy pennies, This special money was first coined in the reign, of Charles II and it is still presented in a Westminster Abbey ceremony every Maundy Thursda , In the Roman Catholic Church, the sac- red oil is blessed and the chrism prepared according to an elabor- ate ritual.

Colorful costumes, intricate routines and the determined ef- forts -forts of -70 hone town youngsters along with a Pew guests brought rounds of applause. The members of the cast took their, audience on a Round the World Tour, featuring costumes from many lands, Costumes ranged from Scottish outfits to Mexican sombreros, The, local club has not been in operation too long, and most of the youngsters are really just getting started at figure skating in a serious way. But the guests on the show gave an indication of what can be expected from the local club members in the future. Donald Knight of Dundas, Junior Men's 'Canadian champion 1961, gave two demonstrations of his sparkling ability and' was called back for an encore. Two little youngsters from Sea - forth also gained the admiration of the audience in their pairs numbers. Mary Sills aged 10, and Bruce Brady aged 12, went through spins, jumps and lifts in a fine display. But local youngsters were not outdone by the visitors. A num- ber of them took solo parts, in- cluding Cathy Fouse, Don Rose- brugh, Carol Ruppel, Anne rash, Sylvia Fitch and Georgia Hodgins. Miss Hodgins had a particularly difficult number doing a "sword dance” complete with two swords. Some of the footwork was ex- tremely difficult but she carried it off well. One number provided the aud- ience with a few chuckles. The Mexican Hat Rack, done by a number of the tiny tots in the club, with two of the very tiniest wearing big hats, was difficult in that the two youngsters had to peer out from under the big hats. One youngster's chapeau kept falling over her eyes, so finally she took it off and parked it on the ice and went on with the job at hand. Two youngsters who cane up with a fine performance were Dan Rosebrugh and Pat Watkins. Their colorful Spanish dancers' costumes added to the number as they did a dance routine. Some colorful scenery, built by figure skating club officials add- ed to the show Makeup for the show was sup- plied by the Preston Operatic Society. Master of Ceremonies "Big Al” :Jones from Kitchener kept the show moving along smoothly. The finale brought the entire cast to the ice, with a blaze of colour from their costumes. Club professional Miss Faye Love, who did the choreography for the show, and also skated a solo num- ber, was presented with a bou- quet of red roses. For their first venture into a skating carnival, the club did not try to be too ambitious. They did not go into difficult lighting ef- , fects or a lot of scenery and elab- orate costumes. But the simplic- ity of the show added greatly to it, and the fact that it was suc- cessful will probably mean more ambitious productions in the fu- ture. There were a number of en- quiries from interested parents and spectators about the club, and the possibilities for next year. TUCKERSMITH A set of Maundy money given by Queen Victoria in 1896 was discovered in the attic of a Sea - forth area home recently, recall- ing centuries-old religious rituals associated with Good Friday. The set, a silver penny, and two, three and four -pence pieces —were found by George T. Flew- itt, of RR 3, Seaforth. London nu- mismatist Byron Swayze, who has six or seven such sets, estimates their value at about $5. But their real value is not coun- ted in monetary terms. They are a symbol of the monarch's humil- ity and an expression of Christ's new commandment given at the Last Supper: To love thy neighbor. (The word maundy comes from the Latin word maun- datum, meaning command). Maunday Thursday, in Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches is celebrated by the traditional stripping of the altar, a symbol of baring one's sins before God in preparation for Good Friday. Maundy money is still given out by Queen Elizabeth, and a ritual preceding the money presenta- tions ---that of washing the feet I of the poor— is still followed by the Popo, bishops and priests, The traditional rites of Main . dy Thursday have their origin in the ancient ohut•oh in ceremonies designed to show both humility, compassion and love; Maundy Thursday is sometimes called Sheer or Ohare Thursday, either in allusion to the "sheer- ing" of heads and beards in pre- paration for Easter or, in the word's Middle English sense of "pure", In allusion tothe ablu- tions of the day, These wore the washing of feet of 12 or more poor men or beggars, and the cer- emony continued until the mid - eighteenth century, As, long ago o as the fourth cen- tury, the rite of foot washing was common and was performed by the Pope, prelates, priests and nobles. In England, the king washed the feet of as many poor men as he was years old, and then distributed meat, money and clothes to them. Encyclopedia Britannica re- cords that Cardinal Wolsey, in 1530 "made his tnaund in Our Lady's Chapel, having 59 poor men whose feet he washed and kissed; and after he had wiped them he gave every one of the said poor men 12 pence in money, three ells of good canvas to make them shirts, a pair of new shoes, a cast of red herrings and three white herrings". Queen Elizabeth I performed the ceremony—it was then call- ed "the paupers' feet"—but the feet were first washed by yeomen of the laundry with warm water and sweet-smelling herbs,; Ong ByceremAboutony had 1760, the been footabandawn - ed. In its place the ceremony be- came a presentation of Maundy money, or Maundy pennies, This special money was first coined in the reign, of Charles II and it is still presented in a Westminster Abbey ceremony every Maundy Thursda , In the Roman Catholic Church, the sac- red oil is blessed and the chrism prepared according to an elabor- ate ritual.
