RECREATION TOPICS by IVAN KERSELL, Wingham Recreation Director Your recreation director spent the largest part of last week attending the annual con- ference of the Society of Dir- ectors of Municipal Recreation in Ontario, to which any certi- fied director in the province may belong. Each year the society conducts a training in- stitute to give the directors an opportunity to get together and share problems, experiences and new ideas. This provides them with more knowledge so they may continually offer im- proved programs that more adequately meet the needs of the people they serve. This year we took a close look at Adult Education and Adult Recreation; and Recrea- tion and the School Age Child. The training committee lined up some outstanding resource people including W. R. Stewart, Deputy Minister of Education; Dean D. M. Smyth, Depart- ment of Extension Education, York University; A. M. Rham- ey, president of the OntarioEd- ucation Association. These gentlemen key -noted the dis- cussions on Adult Education and Recreation. The panel on Recreation and the School Age Child were very controversial and discussions on this topic became quite lively. Members of this panel included the Rev. R. P. Carter, Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church; Mrs. R.H. Howson, Child Welfare Dept. , Metropolitan Toronto; Lloyd Dennis, principal of Deer Park Public School in Toronto and E. Runacres, inspector of high schools in North York. LYCXUM SHOWPLACE OF WINGHAM --- PHONE 357-1630 WED.-THUR.-FRI.

Such questions as these came up: "Do our pro- grams over -emphasize compe- tition?"; "Do we over -organize the child's time?"; "Do our pro- grams break up the family unit rather than bring them togeth- er?"; "Are we meeting the child's play needs in our pro- grams or are we superimposing planned programs that meet 'what we think are the child'.s needs?" There were statements that I found most disconcerting. Mr. Dennis said, "The child is a victim of agencies competing for his time." This includes schools which by law demand most of the child's time, churches, Y. M. and Y. W.C. A.'s, Cubs and Brownies, rec- reation programs and other youth organizations. The se- cond of these statements was made by Mr. Runacres. He said, "We are living in a period of accelerated rate of change. We are aware of this rapid change in society but are un- able to cope with the problems it is creating." There were many questions raised and few answers found, but the value of such discussion lies in the fact that you start thinking. In the future and in our own particular situation the answers will be found if we keep busy looking for them. Bridge Club The Howell system was used last week. Winners were: First, C. Hodgins and V.

Wingham Curling Club. 11-18b ITIS Show BIZ Jean Kerr is about the wit- tiest writer in the U.S. today. Her plays are sharp and fresh, her books amusing and interest- ing. A number of her plays have made it to Broadway: "Mary, Mary" played for years, later completed a successful road tour, and was made into a movie with Debbie Reynolds. One of her books, a little num- ber called "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" was read by mil- lions, and later made into a very successful motion picture which starred Doris Day and David Niven. This year it is making its debut on the tele- vision screen, and is seen on Channel 8 on Sundays at 6:30 and on CTV Channel 13 a half hour later. It is an always -amusing situ- ation comedy series, with a fine line-up of stars. It is bas- ed on Jean's own life, taken from the 1954 book, and though I'm not usually one to recom- mend reading material, this book could do much toward brightening an otherwise dull day. Some classic quotes from the gem of a writer go like this --completing a question- naire, she was asked for her pen name "I just call it Ball - dug in to earn those important points to catch up to the Stam- peders. The quietest person in the league was Maxine, but that was due to laryngitis. The Ti -Cats really had a ball. It looked as if Christmas came • early for Hank. Just wait, Hank, until we hang the Mistletoe! There were some very good scores, but Ruth Lott outdid everyone and came up with the high single of 239 and the high triple of 645. I guess you can forget about checkers, Ruth. I will have to find another part- ner. Wee Jamie (Bain) took the high single with 298 and the high triple with 733. Not a bad night's work, Jim. Only two spares to thank, Jim Fraser and Bruce Machan. Team standings; Stamped- ers 50; Riders 34; Argonauts 27; Blue Bombers 25; Ti -Cats 20; Alouettes 20. Now that the Ti -Cats have had a taste of victory, keep your eyes on them. They are out for that trophy. A special thanks to Eric and Grace Wald- en, (from their league pals) who have offered a trophy to the person who shows the most im- provement. That let's me out. 0--0--0 THURSDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Mac Ritchie edged Matt Boyd last week for the men's high single and triple. Mac's score was 291 single and 754 triple, while Matt's score was 287 single and 740 triple. Sharon Jones was high lady with a 337 single and 708 triple.

Ken Saxton Ir. lost out on the triple by one pin, with 737. Honorable mentions for high single go to Ray Walker with 306 and Ken Saxton Jr. with 300, 8111 Johnston also had a nice triple of 712. Despite Ken's efforts, the Moon Doggies lost all seven points to Mac's Mercurys, who are now tied for first with Bill's Jutripin' Jupltets with 39 points each; the. Moon Doggies and Appollos are tied in second spot with 38; Matt's Explorers have 29 and the Gerxilnis have 27. !3y Vonni Lee point" ; Husband's name, "Honey". And about her four sons - "We are being very care- ful with our children. They'll never have to pay a psychia- trist $25.00 an hour to find out why we rejected them. We'll tell them why we rejected them. Because they're impossible, that's why!" Jean Kerr is the wife of uni- versity professor and New York drama critic Walter Kerr. In the TV series they are Joan and Jim Nash, with the same jobs and the same hilarious situa- tions. They are played superb- ly by Pat Crowley, a sweet lit- tle gal who reminds you of Mary Tyler Moore from another situation comedy series, The Dick Van Dyke Show; and Mark Miller, who is patient and un- derstanding through the most drastic dilemma. Their four sons, around whom the series revolves, were, at the time the book was written, eight-year-old Christopher ("You take Christopher," the writer says, "and you may -- he's a slightly used eight-year- old!"); four-year-old twins Colin and Johny ("Colin...can take a door off its hinges in seven minutes.. " Johny is com- pletely different... "It's hard for him to live with the rest of us - and vice versa."); and Gil- bert, seventeen months old ("It's too early to tell about him."). In the television series they are depicted as two older boys, Kyle, played by Kim Tyler, and Joel, played by Brian Nash, with Jeff and Joe Fithian playing the parts of five -or -six-year-old twins Tra- cy and Trevor, these so much alike that even Mom can't tell them apart, At constant source of amaze- ment on the TV series is the fact that the Nashes live in an ancient castle, the purchase of which the writer describes fully in her book. They wanted a larger house, one with four bed- rooms for the boys, "located some distance from the living room - say in the next county somewhere!" They headed for Larchmont, New York, and were told to look at a crazy house down on the water. It turned out to be the castle, complete with a 32 -bell caril- lion that played the duet from "Carmen' at noon. They bought it. "You're not serious, you're out of your minds!" was the reaction, to which Mr.Kerr replied, "We're out of our minds, but we're serious!'' And that remark just about sums up all the hilarious experiences that the Kerrs and consequent- ly, the Nashes, fired themselves in. It is really one of the cut- est series to come along in a long while; too bad it couldn't have prime network time. In case you've wondered where that ridiculous title came from, she explains that too -- "Last week I had a din- ner party and told the twins and Christopher not to go in the living room, not to use the guest towels in the bathroom, and not to leave the bicycles on the front steps. However, 1 neglected to tell them not to eat the daisies on the dining - room table....". Her lovely arrangement became nothing but green stems, which proves there's never a dull moment when there are kids around! And never a dull moment in that series, so get wise and watch it!
