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.

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.

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..

CLINTON 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.

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." Ball & Mutch LTD. HOME FURNISHINGS 111 FLOOR COVERINGS CARPETING HOME FURNISHINGS 4,4
