T -A photo A ceunpsite experience A very amusing, but equally challenging skit based on the UCW purpose highlighted the "camp -fire" portion of the afternoon program as atiout 100 women from Huron -Perth Presbyerial gathered for their annual "Campsite Experience." The skit was written by Alma Langford, of Exeter, who was also one of the "Huron -Perth Thespians" performing it. Others participating were Helen Anderson of Tavistock, Muriel Coultes of Belgrave, Phyllis Cox of Goderich, and Linda Hawley of Ex- eter. Women were asked, in this 25th anniversary year, to evaluate the ac- tivities of their own local groups. Coffee and cookies were waiting as the "campers" arrived, and Anna Keys bf Varna began the day with a sing -song. Other parts of the day in- cluded typical camp activities - discussion groups meeting in the sun- shine following the morning address on "Celebration' by Rev. Bonnie Lamble of Walton-Bluevale; and out- door recreation in charge of Nancy Corrigan of Bluevale. Following a generous pot luck lunch, a mock camp fire program was conducted including real camp songs, the skits, and finally a most in- spirational communion service con- ducted in the outdoor chanel by Miss ,- OW , • • •1, AAA h • w .•I IMP f"• Sweet Cherries READY NOW Our price isolower than last year Due to a bumper crop Montmorency Red beginning in July Pails of Pitted Cherries ready middle of July PICK YOUR OWN OR READY PICKED Pitting machine available for your convenience 828.3100 OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK ROCK GLEN FARM MARKET Arkona, Ontario Debbie Hoekstra of Exeter, and the Rev.

Bordertown Cafe, which open- ed on June, 23, has all the potential of another prize-winning, original Canadian drama introduced first on the little stage with the big - and grow- ing - reputation for consistent excellence. Playwright Kelly Hebar sets her four characters on the Canadian side of the Alberta -Montana border. The pull of two cultures adds an extra pi- quancy to the tugs of.love and loyal- ty within a three -generation family. the bantering dialogue and the alter- nate salutes to the Maple Leaf and the Stars and Stripes highlight the events of one day at the truck stop. Lorna Miller makes another memorable contribution to the Blyth Theatre in her role as Maxine, the non-stop talker, who extols the vir- tues of American birth at every op- portunity. Maxine had been wooed and won in a whirlwind one -and -one- half days by a young Canadian farm boy who had not made another romantic gesture over the next 40 years. Oh, he had said "well done - as if I'd baked a cake" when she had pro- duced daughter -Marlene. - - Veteran Blyth trouper Laurel Patz, hack for her fourth season, does her usual superb job as the daughter. Marlene has been swept off her feet and in to marriage at 15 by an American trucker who eventually dumped her, in late pregnancy, back at the cafe "like a sack of potatoes". Now 34 and divorced. she is living life in neutral, saving money and collec- ting unicorns while planning a fairy- tale future. Son Jimmy is brought to life by Kevin Bundy, who has not forgotten the .distinctive mannerisms and speech patterns of a teenager. For years Jimmy's irresponsible father has shown up sporadically in his 18 -wheeler to whisk Jimmy through the States on glamorous ex- cursions. Now the father is remarry- ing, and wants his son to come and live permantly with him. Jim is torn between the adventerous possibilities in his father's offer and his desire to con- tinue the stolid but rewarding sharing of work on his taciturn grandfather's farm, not to mention the reluctance to leave his family, his friends and his hockey team. It takes this crisis to shatter the clam -like demeanor of the grand- father, realistically portrayed by Jeremy Franken. He finally reveals another side to his grandson. a man took part in the Halifax riots on VE day, and pursued his wife after fali- ing in love with her picture. The plot revolves around Jimmy's decision. The four actors bring Rebar's script to pulsating life in their por- trayal of four very human and often endearingly funny people who love each other but have trouble admitting it in words. Maxine's constant lively chatter covers up an insecurity that dates back to her first meeting with her in-laws. Marlene worries that she can't compete with her ex in shower- ing Jimmy with expensive gifts. Aaid Jim still hasn't told his wife that the sight of her face in a little snapshot was what sent him on his quixotic pur- suit of a wife. Humour permeates the play. The audience erupted in spontaneous ap- plause when Maxine informed her daughter she had long ago determin- ed not to become a curler and sit with the other wives, gossiping and drink- ing coffee out of styrofoam cups. The menu at the Bordertown c. tfe offers laughs, insight, empathy, and dollops of suspense, served up from an appetizing script by four talented performers. Drop in for a couple of hours of entertainment. You will feel well satisfied when you leave. Bon appetit.
