Blyth announces 1988 playbill
The Blyth Festivalhas just un-
veiled its 14th season - another ex-
citing summer of Canadian plays!
Opening the season on Friday 17
June is the premier performance of
The Cookie War by Kathleen
McDonnell, the story of what hap-
pens when high-powered New York
lawyers invade rural Ontario in
search of a Mennonite cookie reci-
pe. This comedy focuses on the
conflicts between modem material-
ism and old-world self-sufficiency
and was inspired by food -writer
(Food That Really Schmecks) Edna
Staebler's real life experience.
Mail -Order Bride by Robert Clin-
ton opens on Wednesday June 22.
When Russell and Eva Teeter arrive
at thc family homestead to settle
the estate of his grandmother - one
of the original mail-order brides -
thcir efforts arc thwarted by an ec-
centric neighbour. This warm and
moving story won the 1988 Alberta
Culture playwriting award.
The third production of the season
is Lucien by Marshall Button,
opening on Wednesday July 6. Lu-
cien, an Acadian millworker, has
views on everything from politics
to religion, education to the work
place. This hilarious play received
ecstatic reviews when it played
across the country.
The premier production of David
S. Craig's Fires in the Night (The
story of the School on Wheels)
opens on Wednesday July 27, and is
based on the lives of Fred and Cela
Sloman of Clinton, Ontario. For
nearly 40 years, Fred Sloman rode
the rails of Northern Ontario, firing
the imaginations of his unusual
students. This is the inspirational
story of one man's dream, one fami-
ly's adventures and the people of the
north.
The fifth and final production this
summer - back by popular demand!
- is Bordertown Cafe by Kelly Re-
bar which opcns on Wednesday Au-
gust 24. Torn between adolescence
and adulthood, between his father
and his mother, between Canada and
the US, young Jimmy struggles to
reconcile his personal and national
identity in this spirited comedy. A
critical and popular success last
year, Doug Bale (London Free
Press) called Bordertown the "Best
Ncw Play of 1987". Bordertown
will head out on a tour of Ontario
following its close in Blyth on
September 17.
"Our productions this year hail
from. across the country, from Al-
berta and Saskatchewan to Npw
Brunswick, from northern Ontario
to southern Ontario," said Kathe-
rine Kaszas, Artistic Director, "But
I feel they transcend provincial
boundaries and speak to all Canadi-
ans. Not only is this one of thc
most exciting seasons ever at the
Blyth Festival, but it is also the
longest. We extended the overall
season by a week, and have re-
scheduled the repertory season to

March is Nutrition Month and
this year the theme is "Healthy
Weight in '88".
Most Canadians are obsessed with
their weight. According to the 1985
Health Promotion Survey almost
50 percent of Canadians consider
themselves to be overweight. At
any point in time, one out of four
adults is following a weight loss
dict. We are a country preoccupied
with thinness!
Obesity is associated with many
health problems such as high blood
pressure, diabetes, heart disease and
certain types of cancer. However,
many Canadians feel pressured 'to
achieve unrealistically low weights
and often fall prey to gimmicks,
fads and "quack" weight control
clinics. Many women carry the de-
sire to be slim too far by jeopardiz-
ing their hcalth with quick weight
loss techniques or achieving a
weight that is too low. There arc
health problems associated with be-
ing underweight, such as nutrient
deficiencies, lowered resistance to
infection and chronic fatigue.
North American society places
creat emphasis on brine thin. Mag-
azines, television and movies make
it seem that to be successful, rich,
happy, and loved, you have to be a
slender female or muscle bound
male. The 1980's image of beauty
is artificial - just as artificial as pre-
vious eras and just as temporary.
Throughout the ages women of dif-
ferent shapes and sizes have been
painted by artists to represent beau -
Time to think about
student employment
It'may be heard for many people
to think about summer in early
March, but it will be here before
you know it. The Canada Employ-
ment Centre for Students (CECS)
in Goderich and Exeter certainly
know summer is coming and they
are very busy planning for it. Once
again the offices arc open and ready
to serve area students and employ-
ers.
This years supervisor, Marg Du -
pec, is expecting last year's over-
whelming success to continue. A
large number of employers and stu-
dents used the services offered by
the Centre with good results.
Marg has been busy distributing
information on the various govern-
ment programs to potential em-
ployers within the community.
The focus of the Federal Govern-
ment's Challenge '88 Program is
to provide career or work-related
summer employment for students.
One particular program, Summer
Employment Experience Develop-
ment (SEED), provides wage sub-
sidies to employers who create a
summer job for a student.
Provincial Programs of interest
include Experience '88, which plac-
es students in positions within On-
tario Government ministries; Stu-
dent Venture Capital, which
provides loans to students to create
their own summer employment;
and the Ontario Summer Employ-
ment Program (OSEP), which of-
fers employers a wage subsidy to
hire students.
Students are encouraged to regis-
ter now at the CECS, and to take
advantage of the services offered by
the Centre. Assistance is available
for SIN applications, job applica-
tion forms, resume writing and
counselling in job search skills and
interviewing skills.
The CECS in Goderich is located
above the Post Office at 35 East St.
and is open from 8:15 to 4:30 Mon-
day to Friday. Marg will be in the
Exeter office at 414 Main St., Ccn-

4:00 during March and early April.
If employers or students have
questions regarding the services
available at the Canada Employ-
ment Centre for Students, please

ty, as can be seen in museums or
art galleries. Even as recently as 30
years ago, the size of a woman con-
sidered "beautiful" was larger than
today - remember Marilyn Monroe'!
At the same time as we are pres-
sured to be thin, magazines and TV
commercials show slender people
eating high caloric, mouth-watering
foods. With so much food available
in Canada and with improved nutri-
tion, the average person has become
heavier, not thinner.
The theme of Nutrition Month
this year is "Healthy Weight in
'88". The challenge this year is to
promote a tolerance for a variety of
body shapes and sizes and to redirect
our focus from weight to healthy
eating habits, and regular activity
patterns - in general, a healthy life-
style.
Healthy eating habits start with
following Canada's Food Guide and
limiting the amount of fat, salt and
sugar in our dict and increasing the
amount of fibro. You can get active
by regularlyparticipating in a varie-
ty of activities like walking, skat-
ing, dancing skiing - choose to do
activities that you enjoy. Modify
your lifestyle and have a healthy
