HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1962-03-22, Page 7Young Pigs Visit A Church Service I found personality yet again in :tome of the creatures who stir- prisingly visit the little church so `uniquely situated within the wood itself. 1 well remember the delight and surprise I experienc- ed the first time I entered its floor to find that a robin had nested in the lectern, I have known owls build in one or two church belfrys, and swallows in the beams of Eiisj Bergholt church in Suffolk, but 1 have never myself seen a bird. build so low down in a church, or in such close proximity to visitors who pass in and out. I was told the robin even continued to brood undeterred by the fortnightly service held here. The porch door is kept open during the spring and bummer, and the bird uetual- ly flow in and cut, returning to feed her young as the service was in progress, and successfully rear- ing her family.. , . On several visits I have found friendly sheep in the churchyard; coming close up to me they al- lowed much rubbing of noses and stroking of their thick warm wool. Again I realized how easy, how pitifully easy, it is to make friends with animalsand gain their trust.. , On elle occasion when I attend- ed a sol vice here, four baby pigs with obvious personality walked through the open door and up the aisle, voicing a3 young pigs will, and certainly giving an un- usual variety to the service. There can be little doubt that personality in pigs, even as in humans, sometimes makes them difficult, and much tact and pa- tience was necessary before these voluble quadrupeds, not being welcomed as members of the con- gregation, were induced to turn back clown the aisle and through the porch to a more suitable en- ' vironment. So ended an unusual- ly tong and intriguing morning service. Another day when I entered the church to gain a slight respite from a raging north-west wind, s experienced an even more unique encounter; for as I opened the door a little bat dropped to the ground, its wings outstretch- ed, then suddenly elnsing them be rolled up into a srrlall ball no larger than a walnut. I had never seen a bat quite so close before; its fury body was rather like a minature male and it had a queer little face. As I stooped to pick it up gently, it opened a tiny pink mouth very wide, whether in pro- test or pain I was not sure. It lay motionless, eyes closed, and I. carefully carried it into the church to place it out of the way of human feet and there it re- mained quite' still, apparently lifeless; but before I left I found that the tiny creature had disap- peared. . isap-peared.. . Whenever I come to this church in the wood, I am always cons- cious of its personality, it imparts an atmosphere of serenity which may be due to a certain extent to its remarkable situation, 1t is so comfortably set, as it were, in a nest of trees. In the spring a nightingale is singing from the nearby bush, a turtledove utter- ing its soothing notes, the black- birds piping and the robins hop- ping unafraid in and out of the ever open door, and I am for the moment content. - From "Each to His Own Way," By Nancy Price. h%SE MUFF—Stan DeBruler, directur of a Snoqualmie, ski school, doesn't believe in putting his nose into anything that doesn't concern him, such as the cold weather. He wears o knitted nose cover while givinginstructions. in The Royal Family Father Knows Best A scudding wind slashed across the Firth of Moray in northern Scotland one day recently as a blue -hulled sailboat tacked round the end of a cement jetty. At the. hemi, a bareheaded teen-ager gingerly guided the 24 -foot open boat toward calmer waters. Then he and seven other ,youngcrew members lowered the sail, man- ned the oars, and neatly brought her alongside the jetty, From his vantage point amidships, red - bearded George Shaw, sailing master at nearby Gordonstoun (pronounced Gordons -tune) prep school, grunted: "Well done, chaps," . ) Sometime this summer, a new boy will come aboard the Gor- donstoun sailboat to learn ' the skills of seamanship and hope- fully to earn an occasional "well done" from George . Shaw. He is Charles Windsor, the Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, Lord of the isles, and a descend- ant of a long line of able sailors. As the future King of England; he will be expected to know the lore of the sea as well as the law cf the lana. Gordonstoun's maritime tradi- tions more of its graduates enter the Royal Navy and the British merchant marine than enter universities — played a part in its choice as Prince Charles' school. Queen Elizabeth reportedly favored aristocratic Eton, located near the Royal Castle .at Windsor. Charles him- self was supposed to have pre- ferred Charterhouse (in Surrey) primarily because his best friend, David Daukes, enrolled there -last fall. But Prince Charles' energetic father had the final say. An old Gordonstoun boy himself (and a World War II destroyer of- ficer), Prince Philip wants Charles to share his own devo- tion to yachting and other phy- sical pursuits. Although Charles plays a lively. if inexpert, game of soccer, he has so tar shown WHALE OF A SHOT —Bimbo, 18 -foot, 3,400 -pound pilot whule, snaps wedding portrait for Mr. and Mrs. Gary Winnie • by yanking ball whichtriggers preset camera.

'He was 85. Itttle of Philip's, zest for the strenuous life. At Gordonstoun (440 miles from London), Charles' life will be strenuous indeed. The 13 -year- old Prince will live with 60 boys several of them scholarship stu- dents fr(m, poor families) in a tidy one-story. wooden building next to a ruined windmill on the Gordonstoun grounds. He will sleep ina room with eleven other boys on a plain, iron bedstead and be awakened at 7:05 every - morning (except Sunday when he can sleep until 8), Then Charles will go for a brisk early morning run follow- ed by an 'even brisker cold shower (the first of two each clay). After breakfast (the Gor- donstoun diet is heavy on meat and boiled potatoes and strict about no eating between meals), he'll begin his studies. Following lunch, Charles will spend a Spar- tan rest period listening to mu- sic or to a master leading out loud. Some British educators con- sider Gordonstoun (whose an- nual Pee of $1,453 makes it — for non -scholarship students the most expensive school in Britain) a rugged cross between a Victor- ian orphanage and a Scottish conunando camp. But Robert Chew, the 54 -year-old headmas- ter of Gordonstoun, insists that the purpose of his school is not so much to build bodies "but to build character." "We are different from other public schools in that the others have no mountains, no sea or coastline. They have none 'of ouroutlets," explains Ch.ew. "Our mountain rescue training, our seamanship, our coast - guard work, our fire -fighting brigades are essential ingredients of our character building through ser- vice to others." Ultimately, the good - natured Prince Charles will probably ad- just to this rigorous regimen. Dr. Kurt Hahn, the German refugee who founded Gordonstoun in 1934, thinks the school will bene- fit both the future King and the country "Kingship," he says, "is a healing force if it does not grow up in the enervating at- mosphere of privilege." A t Gordonstoun, the privileges are few. —• From NEWSWEEK, Q. Will you please settle a big argument some of us are having? Is a man supposed al- ways to remove his hat in an elevator? A.

Tic -Tac -Toe With An Added Twist By Glenn G. Dahlem One of the finest pencil -and- In order to adapt tic-tac-toe to paper recreation activities is the adult play, an extra vertical and old standby tic-tac-toe, This an extra horizontal bar are added game has one drawback, how- to the traditional playing area, ever, and that is that. games be- increasing the number of possible t w e e n experienced, seasoned playing squares from nine to 16. players are apt to result in ties. A scoreboard for X's and O's is This fact has limited the game's drawn next to the playing area, usefulness, and, because of this, since points are scored in the it is played more by younger modified version, children than by older persons, It is possible, however, to change tic-tac-toe into a more Involved game without destroy- ing its essential characteristics, This tends to introduce strategi- cal considerations, makes games longer and forces players to do some serious thinking before making their moves. X begins the game, but, unlike regular tic-tac-toe, he takes two I moves in one turn. 0 follows, and he, too, is allowed two moves. X then takes his next two moves. 0 his, and so on, un- til each has had four turns, and the 16 -square playing area is fill- 1 ed, Points are scored, one for each row of three, two for each row of four (a row of four is nothing more than two rows of three, sharing two marks in com- mon). Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal rows are possible for scoring, as in regular tic-tac-toe. The player with the most points when the playing area is filled is the winner. Strategical considerations in the modified game are both of- fensive and defensive, as each player must plan his scoring str'tegy carefully, but must also try to stop his opponent from scoring. The illustrations show a move -by -move breakdown of a hypothetical game and are in- tended to demonstrate a typical game situation.
