Legion kitchen addition is underway.
Work has been started
on the addition to the kitchen
and is progressing nicely.
This week should see quite a
difference. At the moment
the addition doesn't seem
very much but we hope it will
make a better kitchen to get
around in.
Two weeks ago a lawn
bowling team of Jack Muir,
John Patterson and Neil Bell
entered the Provincial finals.
Out of 40 entries they cane
in fourth which was quite a
good effort. We hope the
team will be able to compete
another year. Congratula-
tions Comrades,
The three golf teams, that
qualified for the District.
Finals at Preston were not s
fortunate. The top team
came within a few strokes of
qualifying but were edged
out by a team from another
branch. On behalf of the
golfers who had the privilege
of playing that day, 1 would
like to thank the branch.
Even though some of us lined
the bottom of the water
hazards with balls, it was a
good day.

In the August issue of the
Reader's Digest is an article
on a prisoner -of -war in a
Japanese prison camp and
his fight for survival until the
end of the war. The men who
died in these prisons should
not be forgotten.

Tomorrow Box optimistic
THE HURON EXPOSITOR, AUGUST $1, 1903+- A7
)3Y SUSAN HUNDERTMARH
The toad to equality between men and
women may be along and hard one, bpt if
The Tomorrow Box, now playing at the
Blyth Summer Festival, is any indication,
`the destination can be reached.
The play's main character, Maureen
Cooper, is a 60 -year-old farm wife who has
allowed husband Jack to make all the
decisions during their 40 year marriage.
When she discovers he means to surprise
her with the announcement that he has sold
their farm and intends for the to move into
a condominium in Florida, she finally
speaks up. And, he doesn't like it.
Anne Anglin does a wonderful job
playing Maureen, a woman raised with 4-11
and the W.I. who plays down her years of
working in the barn and the fields and
taking care of the house and children. To be
helpful, she gives her daughter-in-law, a
feminist law student, lessons on how to use
an electric kettle.
She thinks nothing of jumping when her
husband bellows for his tea until her
lifestyle, her home and her Royal'Doultons
are threatened. Armed with a long list of her
contributions to the farm, she prepares to
stand up for her rights.
DEMANDING
Jack Cooper, played by Dean Hawes, is a
man who would make any woman cringe, A
demanding and domineering farmer, he
goes into a rage and rips up his wife's list
into little pieces and threatens to divorce
her if she doesn't come to her senses.
The funniest scene of the play happens
when Maureen sits down With daughter -in.
law Alice and Alice's sister, Lisa (a Toronto
lliwyer), WhIle sipping lemonade she
doesn't know is ',piked with vodka.
Maureen contemplates what she could do
with her life alone at 60. Her suggestion of
becoming a divorced photographer like
Margaret Trudeau makes the audience roar
with laughter; Anne Anglin enjoyed the
• ad to take a few
moments to compose here • so much that she self before the play
continued.
The sub -plot of the play involves the
resulting conflict between Alice and her
husband Joe. Alice, played byDeborah
Grover, is shocked to see Joe (Pierre
Tetrault) go along with hist�father in the
"surprise". Since he is buying the farm
from his father, Yoe seems more concerned
about sending his mother off to Florida than
hearing her objections about leaving her
home and friends.
HOUSE TRAILER
The setting is a house trailer in a park
near a small village in rural Ontario. The
cramped quarters add to the comedy when
Alice, eager to make an impression of
neatness on her mother-in-law, hides Joe's
socks in the saucepan and Maureen finds
them while making tea.
The Tomorrow Box shows the comedy in a'
situation that could happen on any farm in
Ontario. The optimistic ending suggests
that somewhere in the battle of the sexes,
even the most traditional men can learn to
respect the worth of women and compro-
mise.
