Clinton News-Record, 1977-06-30, Page 2PAGE 2—;LINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1977
1Vlany of you TV watching
readers must have seen that
commercial which has been
aired recently, - "street in-
terviewing" citizens
regarding their feelings on
being a Canadian. This is
Canada Week but do we have
to be SOLD on being a
Canadian? Perhaps no one
sees eye to eye with me - but I
would rather have seen
picture shots of the natural
beauties of Canada and of the
cities - rather than being told
something of which we should
all be aware - that Canada is a
wonderful country in which to
live.

Many Clinton and area
'residents will be sorry to hear
that Rev. pr. Andrew J.
Mowatt, formerly minister of
Wesley -Willis United Church,
is a patient in Royal Jubilee
Hospital, Victoria, B.C. as the
result of a heart attack. His
many friends in the area will
wish him a speedy recovery.

Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Finch
entertained at their home in
honour of the christening of
their granddaughter, Kim-
berly Anne, daughter of 'Ken
and Vicki Lou Farquhar.
Those attending were Mrs.
pencer, .Duplop Street,
Walter Snary, Agnes Moon,

Vicki and Kenny's brothers
and sisters, also the great
grandmothers, Viola Lam-
pman and Margaret

The' buffet table was
beautiful' with candelabra
and roses. In honour of the
occasion Agnes Moon, in her
own brilliant style, composed
the following verses:
From Agnes and Walter to
Dear Kimberly Anne.
We attended your
christening this morning,
You didn't know we were
there
`But each of us who went to
be with you
Offered a special prayer.
That your life might be
blessed with happiness,
In a world that's' in-
creasingly fair
And may the good things of
life .
Follow you everywhere.
You looked so sweet this
morning
In your fluffy little dress,
As your Mom and Dad
watched on
With loving tenderness.
Your Grandmas were there
and the Grandpas
Looking proud in their
Sunday best,
And with two wonderful
Great Grandmas
You were truly blessed.
Your cousins, your Aunts
and Uncles were there -
And some friends who hold
you dear
All wishing you the best,
year after year after year.
From up here
by Shelley McPhee
I confess, I'm a game show fan. I suppose that ad-
mitting this fact puts me In the vast audience of so-called
nit -wits who watch these shows?
Granted some are a little far fetched, such as "Let's
Make a Deal," not to mention "The Gong Show" or
"Match Game." But of course I categorize these
programs in a different class, apart from my favorites.
For me such games as the "$25,000 Pyramid," is an
educational time and I can limber up my mind. By
covering the answers at the bottom of the screen with my
hand I can play along, guessing the phrase from the one
word clue.
For my musical side I turn on "Name That Tune."
Although most of the selection of songs were hits before
my time and the orchestra has a tendency to make all the
songs sound the same, I still try to guess the tune in so
many notes and end up hu-mming one of the melodies all
day long.
Occasionally I have gotten little nostalgic and turned to
the old re -runs of Groucho's "You Bet Your Life."
Although its a common myth that all game shows are
nothing but gimmicky, hyped -up, cash -crazed programs,
I cannot help but feel the genuine excitement and the
thrill of the winning contestant or to see the loser keeping
up a smiling appearance despite the fact that he missed
his chance at $1,000's of dollars. I'm sure that takes a lot
of talent and patience not to break down in complete
despair.
Emotions run high on game shows between the con-
testants and often with the calm and cool celebrities.
While such so thought feather brains as Jo Anne
Worley and Sandy Duncan are actually smarties when it
comes to the game show circuit, it is surprising to see
that such supposed big -minds as Tony Randall and Soopy
Sales actually get tongue tied when it comes time limited
word associations like on the "$25,000 Pyramid." -
While game shows are great entertainment, their
appeal also runs deeper..The collaboration of contestant
and star on the shows is a nice partnership that rarely is
seen in real life. It gives the contestant a chance to
become a little more important and the star has a chance
to really deal with the ordinary guy from San Bernadino.
I hate to admit it, but I've even cried, or come close to
tears, while watching game shows. I'm sure everyone
has felt that same way when Bob Barker used to re -unite
a serviceman and his wife on "Truth or Consequences."
Mind you, he pulled this gag every other day and it did
lose a little of its appeal, but still the emotion and ex-
citement and the surprise were always there.
And every once in awhile you get some poor soul who
wins the grand prize on the game shows and completely
falls apart. That's really a heart wrenching scene and I
give show host a gold star for knowing how to deal with
such excitable people.
Unfortunately my interest in game shows is seldom
allowed to surface, other than those few days a year
when a holiday comes up, or I'm at home sick and lay in
front of the television all day.
I doubt if my boss would understand if I took an early
lunch at 10 a.m. or brought my portable television set
into the office. But I suppose that he is wise to restrict me
or else I'd start on my second obsession, afternoon soap
operas.

Library News
For Kids
by Marian Doucette
In the past few months,'
many children have been
visiting Clinton Public
Library because they had to,
for material and information
for class projects.
Now, during the summer
months, it is the goal of
library staff to have kids
flocking to the library
because they want to. In
order to make this goal a
reality, special programming
for preschool and elementary
school children has been
developed; and next week
will see some of this
programming beginning.
Next Monday, July 4, will
be a busy day • in summer
activities for our library, for
not only is it the day our
'Super Snooper' program
goes into action, but it is also
the first day of our story hour
and learning period entitled
'What do people do all day?'
for pre-schoolers and 6, / and
8 -year-olds.
This weekly program
beginning at 2:30 p.m. will
see children learning about a
variety of occupations
through stories, games,
crafts and visits from grown-
ups working in some of the
fields discussed.
So mothers, don't forget
that date and time and let
your children come and help
•
the librarians build 'Our
Library Neighbourhood'
during this week's story hour.
On Thursday, July 7- the
children's room in the library
will be given over to the 9 - 13
year-olds. Beginning at 2:30
p.m. a craft. program will
take place for this age group,
where we will be learning
how to make a special kind of
wall hanging that is used in
some foreign ountries to
chase away the evil spirits.
Also, today and Saturday
July 2 are the last two days
for registration into the
library's summer reading
program 'Be a Super
Snooper'. So far, the turnout
for this prograsm has been
good, but there is still room
for more children to take part
in the fun and games at the
library this summer.
Safe driving
is a family affair..

Last 1 -all many small towns
were "invaded" by a group of
magazine subscription
salesladies (all young and
attractive) who approached
young male teenagers on the
street successfully getting
various amounts of money in
advance for magazine sub-
scriptions.
The name of this fast '11
moving company was PAR
PUBLISHERS SERVICE. 'We
were unable to get any refunds
because the amount involved
was always under $50.00.
Some recent letters from
readers in the Exeter area
inform us that this type of
selling has started again, but
the firm name this time is
EAST WEST READERS
SERVICE.
We have made enquiries
about this firm but until we
hear further we urge you to
use CAUTION if approached
by one of their represen-
tatives.

A disgruntled reader writes,
that when she tried to book an
Air Canada flight under their
new low cost Canadian City
Charter Plan she was told that
no seats were available as
they were all sold out. Under
this charter class plan she
said her return fare to Van-
couver would only have been
$222 (from Toronto) instead of
the regular $382.
An Air Canada spokesman
claims that their advertising
for this plan, clearly stated
that only a limited number of
seats were available on any
given flight, and that - ob-
viously the largest planes
flying at "off" hours were the
ones that would have the most
seats. "Basically," he said,
"It was designed to fill empty
seats on all flights, and this it
has done, very quickly."
