playwright Raymond Storey concen-
trated on the four women who were
involved as wives or girl friends of the
;Boyd Gang members.
The problem of portraying action
that takes place during a bank rob-
bery was handled very capably with
choreghraphed stage action set over
music. -
Director Stephen Headley from
Theatre Network in Edmonton has
enormous experience doing musicals
and this was shown particularly in
one scene where the gang robs a hank
to buy their women Christmas
presents in tune to a Perry Como -type
Christmas ballad.

Our Annual
Summer Sale
Quilts come
to museum
From June 27 to July 5 the Lamb -
ton Heritage Museum will be hosting
its 7th annual heritage quilt show and
sale.
The art of quiltmaking dates back
centuries in Canada to the time when
re -cycled scraps of fabric were sewn
into eye-catching geometric patterns.
In recent years, quilts and quiltmak-
ing have enjoyed a dramatic revival
and the popularity of the heritage
quilt show is proof of this. Over 100
traditional and tnodern quilts hang
throughout the museum, fully open
for viewing. Most of the quilts are for
sale at very reasonable prices.
One of the new features at this
year's show is the competition
category of original design quilting.
These quilts and hangings will show
how quilting has moved from a utili-
ty craft to a fine art form. A second
new category has also been added:
group -sewn quilts. These are ones
produced by a group such as
Women's institutes, church groups,
etc. and will be judged the first
weekend by the visitors to the show.
Other features of the show include
display and sale quills, films,
demonstrations, a calico shop and the
famous strawbcrrytarts made bythe
Ravenswood Women's institute. An
expected 4000 people will visit .
Communion
at Trivitt
Gang there is a lot of comedy in the
show and a definite romantic feeling
develops.
Part of the fun of the show is the
gangsters playing domestic scenes
with the women who staved behind
when they went off to a robbery.
The music composed by John Roby
adds much to a very enjoyable show.
i'fis music has already established a
solid reputation with Blyth audiences

The service of Holy Communion
was celebrated Sunday at Trivitt. The
children gathered at the alter steps to
listen to our rector talk to them about
Father's Day, and then join him in
singing a children's song " Surprice".
We -heard a most appropriate ser-
mon for Father's Day, describing the
total difference of two families from
which all of us descended. The first
man being Adam, and the tragedy
which befalls all of his descendants.
Sin, condemnation. disobedience,
rebellion, a legacy left by Adam
which we live with still, generation
after generation.
Secondly, our relationship to the
other man, Jesus Christ. He had no
children, but we are born of 11is
Spirit. A completely different legacy
this time, that being the free gift,
bought and paid for with His blood.
Jesus wants us to have this gift of
grace, justification and
righteousness. A legacy much more
worth having than the one left by
Adam.
Rev. Vipperman's sermon made us
stop and think. Which legacy do we
wish to pass on to our children and
our children's children --- Adam's or
Christ's. Let us make the right ,
decisiv!
