friends in their lifetime,
Some people make friends

their co-workers and still others
during periods of. recreation.
However, few people make as
many friends in all walks of life as
has Nelson Govenlock.
Many of those who would list
him among theirfriends wouldn't
know him by that name; to them
he would be "Slim, the telephone
man''.
Some people even seemed
pleased, when their telephone
needed servicing for then he
would be in for a few minutes,
chatting all the time he was'
working and more than the phone
was iii a better mood after he left.
Old and young people alike were
glad to see him come.

husband told everybody at work
that we'd been married five

eighth anniversary. I'm not sure
whether the fact that it only

Does 'it mean that years of
wedded bliss have simply flown

McKillop Council appointed
Engineer H. M. Gibson of London
as drainage engineer to prepare a
report for the necessary repairs to
the Buchanan Drain at a council
session in Winthrop Monday
night.
A petition for the repairs to
the Smillie' drain was accepted.
Council endorsed a resolution

It will he a real surprise to
,many that he celebrated his 80th

active and interested in anything

appears to be much younger. He

But , what better way to •
celebrate a wedding anniversary
than taking in the first perfor-
mance of "How I met my
husband" by Alice Munro at the
Blyth Summer. Festival? That's
what we"id and I'd recommend it
to anyone else who is similarly
celebrating (or just to anyone else
period).
We attended the performance
with one and half sets of in-laws
handed out by the .courts.
A land severence for "agri-
cultural purposes was
recommended for the Squire

(both mine and half his) and it
was a lovely anniversary. We
even retired to the Blyth Inn for
around of drafts after the play
,.was over.
• "How I met my husband" is a
good play for an anniversary
because its about the first love of. '
a very shy young girl, her
disillusionment and 'eventual
settling for the local mailman,
who's just as bashful as she is.
It's perhaps a better story than
`general accounts of $10,088.70.
, Council apptoved the
application of intent to be se nt to
the Ministry of Culture and
Recreation for capital grant for
floodlights at Walton Community
Park. The grant will be for 25 per
cent of the estimated cost of
$13,000.00.

Asa result 'of ,a decision at
Huron County Council last ,
Friday, grants to hospitals in
Huron undergoing renovation and
expansion will receive up to 25
percent of all provincial approved
costs from the ratepayers of
Huron County. But to be eligible.
for the grants. all hospital build-
ing or renovation programs must
have the Written approval of all
hospital boards in the county. and
all grants will be approved by
county council on the recom-
mendation of the Executive
Committee.
Administrator Bill Hardy said
the reasoning behind the motion
was to ensure that all hospital
boards in the county were agreed •
on the building priorities.
"If the hospital beards can't
decide among themselves. then
perhaps the county shouldn't -be
making a donation to that addi:
tion," stated Mr.- Manly.
"It is a goOd change." said
Doug McNeil ,reeve of ,Colborne
Township anil 'chairman ofGoder-
ich Alexandra Martne and
General Hospital Board. "As .1 •

of it at all. But Anything can
happen. I grant you."

Something to Say
by Susan White
How I met my husband
NicKillop starts drain work
a play (Ms. Munro wrote it as a
story; Blyth adapted it for the
'stage) because it's about private
emotions that bring a chuckle,
Maybe a tear or two and lots of
empathy, when yob read it alone
and. remember yourself at that
age. ,
But Dianne Hawkins does a,
fantastic job of making Edie, the
shy hired girl who falls in love
with Chris Watters, a gentle:
young pilot who values his
freedom to move around more
• than a relationship with any •
woman, real and believable.
The supporting cast is good,
but it's Edie's story and k's
Dianne's performance that stays
in your head.
All of the actors though are up
to the high standard that we
expect from Blyth after their
whizz bang "Mostly in Clover"
last year. The close 'to capacity
first night audience seemed
pretty happy with "How I met"
and The Blyth players are
repeating Mostly in .Clover" and
doing two other plays this
summer.
Edie finally realizes that Chris
isn't going to -write her."' She
decides she isn't going to spend,
her life waiting and turns to a
More predicable and safer
romance with the mailman. She
got to know the mailman as she
waited for him everyday, looking
for a letter from Chris.
It's a bittersweet play, with lots
of laughs about the moon-
struckness of young first love..
Go and see it. Go and see
anything at Blyth. They're good
there.
