Boyle's Mostly in Clover, Saturday night, tickets are still available. Demand for tickets for the return of last year's most popular production has been the highest of any show this year but Blyth Summer Festival officials say that there are' still tickets available. Those wishing to attend, however, are urged to reserve tickets in advance since it is unknown how many tickets may be left on the night of the performance. Barring last minute problems, Harry J. Boyle himself is expected to be in attendance for the show. There will be only four performances of the play at the Festival this year. It will go on tour following the close of the season here. Meanwhile the Festival reports attend- ance so far is well ahead of last year. Audiences for the five performances up until Friday night were averaging about 200 per night. Attendance was hurt, however, by the loss of usually heavy Saturday night revenue due to a prior booking of the Hall.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 14, 1976. 1 :Morris township couple celebrates 45th wedding On the beautiful summer afternoon of ,June 27 Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Taylor and family of Morris Twp., held "Open House" in honour of Boyd's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Taylor, who were celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor (nee Ann McFarlane) were married on June 27, 1931, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John McFarlane, Stanley Twp. Their attendants were Mr. Stewart Middleton, Goderich Twp., and Mrs. Mary Smith, Toronto. Mrs. Margaret Evans of the University of Guelph was the organist. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor farmed for four years in Goderich Twp., and in 1935 came to the farm home on the 9th conc. Morris Twp. In 1942 they purchased the farm to the west, across the sideroad, from Wm. Gibson, where they now reside. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have a daughter, Claire, in Prince George, B.C., two sons, Boyd on the home farm, and John (Mac), Dawson Creek, B.C. Mr, and Mrs. Taylor graciously received their guests in the attractive family room of the original Taylor stone home (built in 1868). Relatives and friends extended their good ' wishes, signed the guest book, then proceeded to the dining -room where a dainty lunch was served by three charming waitresses, Karen Middegaal, Nancy Taylor, and Karen Young. Muriel Taylor assisted by neighbours and friends, prepared and arranged the attractive luncheon table. When the guests had been served, they returned to the lawn and were welcomed by Boyd and Jim who assisted in making the afternoon an enjoyable one. Chairs had been placed in the bright sunshine as well as in the shade of the beautiful sturdy trpgs., The afternoon was spent in reminiscing and renewing acquaintances. Among the guests were the groomsman, bridesmaid and organist of 1931. Some 150 relatives, friends and neighbours signed the Guest Book, Visitors came from Midland, Toronto, Churchill, Stratford, Kitchener, Dundas, Clinton, Goderich, Blyth and surrounding community. Due to the air strike, Claire and Mac were unable to be present, but they kept in touch by telephone, It was fitting that the anniversary reception should be held in the fine farm home of Muriel, Boyd, Nat)cy and Jim Taylor, as this farm has always been in the possession of the Taylor Family. In 1852, Rev. J.B. Taylor and Mrs. Taylor (Christine Bain) purchased Lot 11, Con. 9, Morris Twp., from the Crown. Two log houses were built on the farm and in 1868 the comfortable anniversary stone residence was built with stones from the farm. Later their son Charles and his wife (nee Clara Middleton) owned the farm and lived in the home. After their deaths Kenneth and Ann dame to the farm and resided there until 1959, when they moved to the farm across the sideroad, It is interesting to note that this farm, also, was originally bought, from the Crown, by Rev. J.B. and Mrs, Taylor, who later sold it to John Richmond, who in turn sold it to Wm. Gibson. Lot 11, Con, 9, Morris Twp., has always been owned and occupied by Rev, and Mrs J.B. Taylor and their descendants.

It is a play rewritten from one of Alice Munro's short stories set in the Wingham area about a young girl's painful infatuation with a pilot. As ever, Alice Munro manages to look deep into her subconscious and draw out memories of small town snob- beries, hypocrisy, romances, emotions and strengths.

'I'hc doubt was cast this week by the ease with which the Conservatives under William Davis can turn a setback into an advantage. This time the setback came in the form of the Supreme Court Decision that the government's putting Ontario into the Federal anti-inflation program by a simple order in council (cabinet decision), was illegal, Davis quickly called the legislature back into session to deal, with the problem, put forward a simple bill and dared the opposition not to support it. • The strategy is ingenious. When the issue' first came up, the New Democrats, with the strong labour backing were completely opposed. the Liberals wanted a separate anti-inflation board for Ontario. The Conservatives, wanted an inflation board but they wanted one in Ottawa which would attract the ire of business and labour communities, not one in toronto that. woud be linked with the tory government, making it unpopular when board decisions didn't go as people wanted them to. David avoided the issue b5' passing an order in council, not letting the NDP or Liberals have any say at all. Now that maneuvre has been declared illegal, a move that was obviously expected by Davis since he had a new bill already prepared. Now, however, the situation is an emergency. The N.D.P. will, of course, hold to their old .position knowing that the pressure is not on them, but on the Liberals. The Liberals still want their old policy of a Now, however, the situation is an emergency. The N.D.P. will, of course, hold to their old position knowing that the pressure is not on them, but on the Liberals. The Liberals still want their old policy of a separate board but the Conservatives say take what we want or we'll call an election. Davis says the 0 position would be "irresponsible" if it defeated the bill and "forced' an election. He blithely manages to pass off the fact that he was irres onsible if not down right crooked in his actions in the first place, just a he was when he passed an order in council to shut down Ontario hose tats so he could avoid debate in the Legislature. Yet despite the dishonesty of Mr. Davis, everything's coming up roses for him. How can the Liberals at this stage do anything else but support h im? They're caught in his sweet trap. They know that in an election fought between the pro -controls position of the Conservatives and the anti -controls of the N.D.P., they'll be cut to ribbons. With the skill the Tories continue to show in politici l maneuvering, maybe we should just name Davis King and save the expense of periodic elections. Well like her . this time Beauty at Horticultural Park Canadians have ambivalent feelings toward the monarchy. While the older generation, championed by John Diefenbaker, still hold fast to the queen, the feeling of the younger generations run from "ho-hum, who cares" to outright hostility. Yet the atmosphere when Queen Elizabeth arrives in Canada this week to open the Olympic games is likely to be the best she's found in years in her visits here. The reason is simple. The Queen made a visit to the United States before arriving in Canada, to help that country celebrate its bicentennial. Everywhere she went she was swamped by well-wishers, and adoring fans. Now those with any experience in watching Canadians know that while we may be very ho-hum about our own things, the one way to give them excitement is to have the Americans take them to their heart. Such it is with our singers and actors who aren't really considered good in Canada until they've moved to the U.S. the situation is likewise in nearly every field of human endeavour. Thus the enthusiastic response to the Queen in the U.S, will likely make her irresistable now in Canada, now that she's go the American stamp of approval we Canadians can be proud to call her our own. Do you know where your children are? Vandalism is a crime that has been plaguing the village for the past few weeks since school let out. Elderly people seem to be particular targets of the kind of spineless wonders who are doing the damage, Last week a swath of destruction was cut through the town by a group of late-night marauders who broke . • off car aerials and windshield wipers and other such ridiculous things. This past weekend someone smashed the park bench in front of Memorial hall to pieces. Nearly all of this damage is done in the late hours of the night when most people are in bed. Yet for some reason or other, juveniles are still wandering the street. Some people claim that it's a case of youths sneaking out of the house after their parents think they are in bed. Perhaps so. But the fact remains that the solution to the vandalism problem is not more police or stiffer fines, but better parental supervision. Tin um, lrnrnv where your children are after 10 p.m;? BY KEITH ROULSTON The great arena debate has. died down somewhat, at least for the Blyth area. There's no doubt that Labour Minister Dr. Bette Stephenson's crusade against old arenas in the province on failure to meet modern safety standards was right on' the mark as far as Blyth arena goes. People knowledge- able/about the state of the arena here have known for some time that it was only a matter of time before a major change had to be made. Anyone who doubted that bleak forecast has only to look at the butt ends of the some of the trusses from the old arena and sec how badly they are rotted. Yes„we really haven't got too much to complain about as far as the closure goes. But just because the doctor was right on one case, doesn't mean she should be given high praise for the rather ridiculous way this whole matter 'has been conducted. It• Dr. Stephenson conducted a medical Arenacrusade too big a fuss practice the same way one can image her amputating a leg to cure an ingrown toenail. The scope of the witch hunt and the lengths to which the government has gone has been ridiculous. The classic case of course is the Howick community centre which the paint was hardly dry on yet, but was found below the standards of the government insists on today though it was above standard when it was built. How about ,the situation in Hensall where the town went ahead at the urging of Dr. Stephenson's ministry and up- dated its arena at considerable cost a year ago? Today it's faced with another big bill to strengthen the strengthening. Safety in public buildings is a sacred cow subject these days. How do you argue against it? No one will argue that Dr. stephen-' son isn't right in her concern. What we will argue with is the heavy-handed approach she uses and the standards buildings are expected to live up to. One area councillor observed recently that the snow load requirements for roofs would mean the roof had to support a load of about 10 feet of snow all over the roof. Now we realize this is the snowbelt, but who ever saw 10 feet of snow on a roof. Likewise the wind requirements. One of the arena tragedies so' often mentioned when the govern- ment's crusade is discussed is the Windsor curling club which caved in killing several ' people, The thing that isn't mentioned is the building caved in during a tornado. Now truthfully, how can we expect to build buildings that will be guaranteed to withstand tornados. If we can, then why not build it on pontoons in case of flood, or bury it under ground and two feet of concrete in case of nuclear attack? We cannot prevent all risk in life. If the government had been realistic, it would have spread the closures over several years. Perhaps it could have had arenas inspected according to age, or by alphabetical order or some other method, but closure of 300 arenas in one years is a tramatic experience for Ontario towns. It's also nearly guaranteed to spur our own little inflationary spiral right here in Ontario. But, given Dr. Stepiienson's past support of drastic solutions to issues (like the abortion issue) her present.course can hardly be unexpected. How Biligot startedas columnist' BY BILL SMILEY Had a letter this week from a former student who has to present a seminar in a journalism course she's taking, She didn't want much -- just how to become a syndicated weekly columnist, and some anecdotes about being editor of a weekly newspaper. There's no problem about the first one, as I tell the eight or ten people who write me annually about it. All you have to do is be in the right place at the right time, with the right material. In other words, lucky. A second ingredient is to be cheap. 1 was both, when this column began to circulate, I beean writing this column when I was editor of a weekly.; After a couple of years, I had grown sick of the lack of freedom and creativity in what I was writing, Any damn fool can write a news story, if he gets the facts straight. And many damn fools can and do write•, editorials, regardless of the facts, And I was having trouble with the weddings and obituaries I had to churn out. One searing experience in the weddings department was my assertion, right there in black and white, that the bride and groom \ had left for a honeymoon in Bermuda wearing a green cord- uroy suit. I didn't say who was wearing the top, and who the bottom, but my reputation among the mothers of , brides was definitely sullied. Same trouble with the obit- uaries. I never committed the classic: "The deceased was borne to his final resting place by six old fiends who acted • as pall- bearers," but I did have my moments, A line from a wedding would pop into the funeral, and it would come out something like this: "The remains of the deceased, who was in his 78th year, are resting at the Sunset Funeral Home, in a clinging gown of yellow voile, with a garland of white stephanotis and a large bouquet of forget-me-nots." Pretty fancy funeral, what? 1 never did get much flack from the deceased, but I sure caught hell from the "survivors," as they were invariably known. After a series of such set -backs, I decided to start writing a little column in which I didn't have to cope with the dull facts of the news story, the supposed object- ivity of the editorial, or the pitfalls of the wedding -obituary quagmire, Thus began "Sugar and Spice" as it was first named, a humble little corner of the editorial page where one Bill Smiley could spoof the world, needle his wife, damn all politicians, and give vent to his rages. In short, where he could say whatever he wanted, without hiding behind the anonymity of the news , story or the editorial "we". (Although that's a pretty slim thing to try to hide behind in a small town, where everybody knows exactly who wrote the editorial, and what's wrong with his head, to have such an opinion). Anyway, the column caught on, for various reasons. One was that men enjoyed me pointing out how peculiar women are. Another was that women enjoyed me pointing out how stupid men are, Everyone enjoyed me pointing out how absymally idiotic politic- ians are. There were other reasons. I didn't mind calling a spade a ruddy shovel. I didn't mind exposing what an ass I was. I wrote about all the horrible I' ordeals that ordinary people go through: loved ones dying; music festivals, Christmas, I wrote about parents and children, sailors and legionnaires, grannies and young mothers, farmers and fishermen And I had good friends, Notably George Cadogan, still a power in the weekly business in the Maritimes. He urged and encouraged and recommended to friends, Under his exhortations, 1 gradually changed a ragged column of anecdotes, barbs and personal opinions into a short essay that tried to say something, without. seeming to, Next thing I knew, 88 papers were running my column. Then, of course, the syndicates got interested. They are not, by the way, much interested in begin - hers which makes it a might tough to break in. Satisfaction? Oh, yes. Not from writing it. That's hard work. If it weren't, it would be hard reading, and if it was that, it wouldn't be read for long. But I've had great joy from the knowledge that I've occasionally brought some pleasure, or sur- cease from pain, to someone. One ancient lady wrote painfully, from her old folks' home bed, that she had laughed until she cried, at one column. A young Canadian woman, in New Zealand, wrote that she'd been in despair, everything black, had read my column in her hometown paper, and laughed aloud, and had realized that God was still in His heaven, if she could laugh. 1 won't tell you about the rotten letters I've received, They're few, THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 14, 1976.

A grant of $3,000 is to be made to the Huron County Public Library for the purchase of shelving materials and furniture for four libraries in Goderich. The "No Strings Attached" Puppeteers of Exeter will receive plans announced for 1976 Agriculture and Food Minister William G. Newman has announced the details of the 1976 beef calf income stabilization program. Speaking in the Legis- lature, Mr. Newman said the premiums for this year would be $5.00 per cow and the support price would be 50 cents per pound, the same as last year. Enrollment closes this year on August 16th. Only cows in the producer's possession as of June 22nd may be registered. All contracts will expire in June 1980. The support price is calculated on 100 percent of the producer's operating cost. All beef calf producers and cream shippers in Ontario are eligible. Producers who participated last year will receive enrollment forms in the mail. New participants will be able to get forms from their Agricultural Representatives after July 12th. Hydro Hearings planned The Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning will be holding Public Information Hearings in Barrie on Wednesday, July 14 and Thursday, July 15. The Hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers, Barrie City Hall, from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. and from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. Ontario Hydro will be appear-. ing before the Commission to provide information and data relating to electric power plan- ning on the topic of Transmission Planning Processes. Opportunities will be given to members of the public to raise questions or matters of clarifica- tion regarding the topic being discussed. Mr. Newman said that although the price being sup- ported is that for calves, the payments are made on a per cow basis. "The payment is based on four factors," he said, "the support price for calves, which is 50 cents a Round this year; the weighted average market price for calves, which will be calculated from fall sales; the average number of calves from 100 cows, which when calculated for the whole province is 85; and the average weight of the calves in the fall, which is 450 pounds each." This program was initiated in 1975 to stabilize the incomes of beef calf producers and to encourage a continuing supply of Ontario -produced beef. Last year 12,000 farmers registered 300,000 cows and received net payments of $72.00 per cow, for total payments of $22.5 million.

But, have you ever wondered how all that information was collected? Organizations throughout Canada and the United States have been studying the migratory patterns of ducks and geese for many years. One of these North American agencies is Ducks Unlimited (DU), an organization dedicated to retain waterfowl habitats in North America. Each year, DU biologists band hundreds of ducks and geese. To date, banded waterfowl number well over 160,000. By recording where the banded birds are found, biologists learn factual information about water- fowl habits, Most importantly, they can calculate changes in bird population. Migratory patterns of the birds can also be plotted. Bands for North America are distributed by the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, operating from the Migratory Bird Populations Station at Laurel, Maryland. The station also acts as a record library with duplicate informationcopies going to Ottawa. The most popular method. of banding ducks and geese is by tile use of a "bait trap". A cage, constructed of chicken wire, is placed in marshes where waterfowl nest. The entrance to the cage is funnel -shaped so that when the birds enter the cage to cat the 'grain bait that is left for them, they are unable -to escape. D.U. staff visit the cages each morniig to band and release the' birds caught during the night. When ducks moult, during the months of June and July, large numbers ale in a flightless stage. This time of the year is when the "drive banding" method is used. Large net pens are constructed on land near waterfowl ponds. The side of the pen facing the pond is left open. The ducks and geese arc then coralled into the pens and banded. Using this method, hundreds of birds can often be banded at a time. "Night lighting", although not often used is also a method for banding birds. Banding crews in boats, equipped with large floodlights patrol marsh areas at night. The birds arc confused by the lights, and can be captured in nets, banded and released. The band- ing crews tag the birds and record details of species, sex, age and Industrial league in action On Tuesday, July 6, Mannings defeated Radfords' by the score of 17 to 1.

A collar band, usually made of bright coloured plastic is loosely wrapped around a bird's neck. This type of band is used primarily to study local popula- tions where identification of individual birds is required. The most common type used is the aluminum leg band. Stamped onto each lightweight strip is a code number and the inscription: Advise Fish and Wildlife Service, Write Washington, D.C., U.S.A. If you happen to find a banded bird, the band should be immediately returned along with wildfowl details of how, when, where and by whom the band was recovered.

AFIL From the' Minister's Study Christians and Jews Much anti-Semitism through the centuries has been a Christian perversion, and Christians cannot now sweep this under history's carpet, for it has been carefully documented by both Christian and Jewish scholars. But today the main thrust of Christianity resists and opposes anti-Semitism. There is still some anti-Semitic sentiment within Christendom, but the most significant stance today of Christians toward Jews is one of respect and concern that Jews to accorded justice. The Second Vatican Council brought important changes in Roman Catholic official attitudes towards the Jews, And when the World Council of Chruches (an association of most of the non -Roman Catholic Churches) was constituted at Amsterdam in 1948 this resolution was adopted: "We call upon all the churches we represent to denounce anti-Semitism, no matter what its origin, as absolutely irreconcilable with the profession and practice of the Christian faith. Anti-Semitism is sin against God and man." There is, of course, much that divides Judaism and Christianity. It would be sentimental foolishness to deny that. And today there is much misunderstanding, and an alarming amount of sheer perversity, in both camps over some of the implications of Zionist concern for the integrity of the State of Israel. This tends to sour relations betweert some Jews and some Christians. But we must never forget that there is much, grounded in the biblical understandings of human life and destiny and of moral reality, that unites Jews and Christians -- and it is sentimental sinfulness not to recognize that, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German Lutheran theologian who was hanged by the Gestapo at the end of the Second World War because of his opposition to Naziism, said this when Hitler was beginning his persecution "of the Jews: "If the synagogues burn today, the churches will be on fire tomorrow," Bonhoeffer's concern was not for religious institutions as such, 'but for what they represent and preserve and express. Surely Christians should stand shoulder -to -shoulder with their Jewish brothers and sisters whenever the fires of anti-Semitism begin to burn.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 14, 1976• TODAY'S CHILD Take safety with you BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO j111NJ SYNDICATE Chris is an interested, interesting boy, just turned 11 and eager for a family to belong to. Black and white in descent, he is a handsome lad with dark eyes and black curly hair. Ile is proud of his black identity and would like a black family where he will be the oldest or the only child. An excellent student, Chris is in grade five where he has consistently high marks. His teacher says he has the ability to work on his own and reports he has "a bright and inquisitive intelligence, Chris is now living in a small treatment centre for children with emotional problems. They have been largely resolved and he is ready to leave, if only he had a family to go to. He attends a community school and is involved in sports outside the centre. Good at games, he plays hockey, floor hockey and baseball. He is keenly interested in music and fond of reading, Chris, though appearing self-assured, lacks confidence in himself, so he needs parents who will give him, along with their love, the feeling that he is a very worthwhile person. To inquire about adopting Chris, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M•4P 2H2. In your letter tell something of your present family and your way of life, For general adoption information, contact your local Children's Aid Society. Don't forget to take along those home safety habits you have maintained all year when you go on vacation—particularly if your're planning a family camping trip, says the Ontario Safety League. Make sure . you know the location of the nearest doctor, hospital, or First Aid Station, Keep dangerous equipment and poisons in a safe place and out of reach of children, Knives, axes and hatches are just as dangerous as the blades of your lawn mower or the kitchen knives; insect repellents, lighter fuels, etc., are just as hazardous to curious children in the camping environment as they are in the kitchen or garage. Smoking in bed, one of the prime causes of home fires, can have the same results in a tent or camper. And your fire safety habits are doubly important in the dry, open camping areas. Keep those fires to a minimum and always have water or sand on hand. Barbecues are intended for outdoor use.,,not inside your camper or tent where deadly carbon monoxide can build up within minutes. Good housekeeping is just as necessary when camping as it is around the home. Examine the site for broken glass, aluminum can pull tabs, and other such hazardous objects upon selecting your camp site and when you leave. Remember, that carelessly tossed oar can give you the same trip as that skate left on your front walk. A family. camping trip can be great fun -- and relaxing. But it requires careful planning and safety consciousness. SPRAY CANS AND INSECTICIDES Read carefully and follow to the letter all instructions on spray cans and insecticides, states the Ontario Safety League. Do not use around children and pets and make sure your work area is well ventilated, Store these items in a safe place out of the reach of curious children. the flies are conj►ng!

FUN, FUN, FUN BY PHYLLIS FENNER Here is a collection of old favourite stories and little known gems of humour. All are fresh Air conditioners pose hazard Ontario Hydro's electrical inspection department is "concerned" about possible fire hazards associated with air conditioners as the province enters its annual hot and humid season. Jack Dicker,- department manager, warns that improper installation of these units has already caused a number of fires in homes and apartments in various parts of the province. "The most common cause is using overloaded extension cords and plugging them into recep- tacles not designated for this purpose." He said each air, conditioning unit should have its own wall receptacle capable of carrying 15 amperes. Hydro inspectors reported one Windsor house suffered $21,000 ,..damages recently traced to an overloaded extension cord behind a chesterfield. Another common fault is to place the cord beneath a rug. When overheating occurs in the cord, it can start a serious fire. Blowing of fuses is another warning that attention is required. "Follow the instructions which accompany each air conditioner when it is purchased," Mr. Dicker said. library and delightful, especially suited for reading aloud.

If you "liberated" cats out there think your swinging life- style doesn't affect your children, please think again. Kids need standards. When they see alley - cat behavior on the part of a parent, they feel justified in doing as they darned well please. And they will, DEAR ANN LANDERS: I have a problem that isn't a matter of life or death but I need to know how to think about it. 1 had a light crush on two TV stars. I didn't look at them as sex symbols because I am 13 and they must be in their 30s. I had sense enough to know I could never meet them personally so I did the next best thing •- I wrote and asked for an autographed picture. Almost four months have passed and 1 haven't received anything from either one of them. I don't think this is a very nice way to treat a fan. It has cooled me on a couple of people 1 used to admire a lot. Will you please explain why stars whose bread and 'butter depends on what the public thinks of them would ignore such a simple request? Thank you. -• Betting You'll Answer DEAR BETTING: Your "simple request" costs about 75 cents. This barely covers the picture and postage. If the star has secretarial help to do the mailing that costs something, too. The average person doesn't realize the time and expense involved when they ask a celebrity for a picture. The same goes for fans who request an autograph and fail to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope. My advice : (a) Make sure you have the correct address; (b) enclose a one -dollar bill with your request, (c) make certain YOUR address (with zip code) is included in handwriting that is legible. ****** How much do you know about pot, L.S.D., cocaine, speed, meth, uppers and downers, glue and heroin?

Dianne Hawkins JleftJ plays a shy teenage farm helper of Mrs. Peebles 'Lynda Langford) in the gentle comedy How I Met My Husband which opened to good reviews at Blyth Summer Festival last week. The show, though much different than The Blood is Strong, is Just as strong in its own way as the hit premier of the season. Festival review 'Husband' a BY KEITH ROULSTON How 1 Met My Husband, the pray adapted from the short story by Alice Munro, provides a dramatic change of pace as the second production of the 1976 Blyth Summer Festival. The play opened July 6 at Memorial Hall with about 250 persons present. The most important thing to be said is that How 1 Met Nt �A Husband is not The Blood is Strang. While Blood is filled with action and music, Husband is a quieter "mood piece". As long as one doesn't expect a repeat of The Blood is Strong or Mostly in Clover, he is likely to like How 1 Met My Husband very well. The play is adapted from a television production of the short story and has been expanded with added dialogue to lengthen it out to an evening's entertainment. It moves at a slow pace and sometimes it's hard to tell if it is because Ms. Munro's work always docs this, or because the cast is trying to stretch the material out. The first half in particular is full of long meaningful silences but the second moves along at a faster clip. The story tells of an innocent young love between a young girl in her first job as a farm wife's helper and a carefree, daring flyer who barnstorms from place to place giving people rides in his aircraft. It takes place in the late 1940's. As Edie, the young girl, Dianne Hawkins is superb. It is hard to believe this summer is the first professional acting experience for the young actress. She has a difficult part and gives it just the right touch, She's shy, yet attractive and when she delivers a line about never having kissed a boy before except on a dare and having kissed her arms for practice, she touched a respons- ive cord in the audience bringing a laugh, not at her, but at our own remembrances of the stumbling path toward adulthood. The play is not a funny one, but it has many humourous moments like the one mentioned, The comic relief of Angela Gei as the bitchy neighbour woman, Ron Barry as the man Edie works for and Steven Thorne as the .mailman adds an optimistic note to the usual rather depressing tone of Ms, Munro's work, Jim Schaefer plays his part as the pilot with touching gentle- ness, showing him as more than a kiss -and -fly scoundrel but a real human being. But the play is about women and the women dominate, With the exception of the painfully shy Edie, all are real old witches and ' it is a tough role for most . of the poem to life young actresses to play but they manage to do so very well. As mentioned before Miss Gei as Loreta Bird comes off' funny yet realistically. Nearly all of us have known a busibody like her, and while they're a pain in the neck, you somehow can't help liking them. Lynda Langford as Mrs, Peebles, Edie's employer plays a frustrated farm wife who some- how feels life has passed her by. Somehow she'd rather have been a move star and it sours her attitude to life. Sharon Noble plays the pilot's former girl friend who bitterly realizes that her love for the pilot is slipping through her lingers like sand in an hour glass leaving her only with emptiness. It could easily be a depressing play but the cast and director James Roy give it a brightness that tells us that realism doesn't really have to be unhappy. It's a gamble of a play, the kind that usually doesn't dray well at the box-office but the generally favourable comment.; 00 the play shows that audiences.in Blyth are stature enough to understand and appreciate such a love poem to life. Mr. Roy and his theatre deserve praise in attempting such 0 gamble and deserve large audiences ivho will appreciate the work. Family night held at Huronview The variety program for Family Night was provided by members of the staff and was rated by the residents as one of the best. This was the first all staff program and as it was such a tremendous success, we hope to have a repeat performance in the near future.
