"In his show we set out to demonstrate the different style's of our puppetry," added Pat. 7 She, explained that Pro Print Theatre most often uses hand and rod puppets 'designed • from one-quartef inch foam similar to that used in packing crates. The fount structure, she added, is then covered with material. Because of artistic director Nikki Tiltoe'S„ experience in mime, Pat „said the troupe incorporates a lot of mime in their puppetry. "Mime and puppetry are movement -based arts where action and, movement are very important," she said. For those who are inter- ested in learning more about puppetry and how to perform as a puppeteer, Pat said Frog Print Theatre will be con- \ --ducting a -two-day workshop, August 23 and 24 at their Adelaide Street studio in Toronto. A $60 fee is charged which will include all mater- ials involved: ARCHIE'S IN SEAFORTH — Frog Print Theatre entertained approximately 30 Seaforth children last Thursday. In the picture are Pat What BY PATRICIA RHYMER Some people thought that it could have been a slight tornado, others thought that it may have been a hurri- cane. These are some par- ents' ideas of what happened last Tuesday when it began to rain and thunder. It was a really bad storm in the eyes of parents around town, but what about the children? What do they think when they see the fire going through the sky and trees and branches falling down all over because of the wind? This week I asked a few kids what they thought about rain and thunderstorms and what they do when'there one.

When I asked her if she liked a thunderstorm, she answered, "A little bit because it gives the flowers a drink." Brenda said that thunderstorms scare her but ifie likes them- anyway. ' Brenda thought that rain causes thunder and the thun- der makes all of the racket outside when you- are trying to sleep. SCARED IN BED Bobbi -Ann Scarrow. 7. of Seaforth said that she likes thunderstorms but they scare her. "I like them a little bit but sometimes i get scared in bad because I think it's (the thunder) a monster. After the storm we saw a branch that fell on a house and I said to my dad I'm glad that it wasn't our place. A ur house there weren , teens, in betweens holes in the.roof, just lot .4 of leaves." Then 1 asked Bobbi - Ann what she did when it. was raining.. Shc answered "I just play games. colour and watch it. When I was little 1 thought it (thunder) was a big monster on clouds tramping around and throwing fire (lightning). Bobbi -Ann said that there wasn't too much harrn done by the storm near her place, just a lot of little branches Summer Sale Continues Stack up for next year at savings up to All summer merchandise must go ' Special rack of ladies dresses reduced to si0.0p each [values to 565.001 and twigs. THEY MAKE ,THINGS GROW Ronald Sinnamon, 5, of Seafoith said that he really did like thunderstorms. "They ' make everything grow. Most of my bachelor buttons (flowers) have opened." When I asked Ron- ald what he did when the thunderstorm was keeping him in the house last Tues- day afternoon, he said "I hide under the covers all the time." Ronald said thunder is caused by too many stormy black clouds bunched to- gether. He said that the noise was caused by thunder striking something but he wasn't too sure what. Last Tuesday afternoon there was a lot of commotion around Ronald's house after the storrn was over. "A tree in our backyard fell down because of the wind. It was a tree that we planted in centennial year. A couple of big branches fell down at the shoe factory warehouse. One of our 'sun- flowers and a tomato plant got knocked down by the wind." A birdbath that used to sit in Ronald's front lawn was blown over by the wind and broken into bits and pieces and the top broke in two. SIT STILL ON THE COUCH Rachel Vecchio, 6, of Lon- don said that she doesn't like storms because they're scary. Rachel said that she sits on the couch when there's a storm and she doesn't move. Rachel said that If you move you might. get struck by lightning. The reason that there is such a big noise when there is a thunderstorm is because the clouds rnoveRachel thought. Susan Rowcliffe, 5, of Sea - forth agreed with Rachel. She thinks that thunder- storms are really scary be- cause of the lightning and thunder. Susan said that she sits on her mommy's knee during a storm so that she won't get hurt. There was a lot of excitement caused by the storm around Susan's house too last Tuesday. • "A big branch fell down at Sills' house. It was hanging on the hydro wire and half of it was on the house but their dad got it down." Kids do sec the sarne things as parents do during a really bad thunderstorm. Some cry, some laugh while others are in sure amaze- ment at the art work of the lightning as it soars through the sky.
