Clinton News-Record, 1983-09-21, Page 24Country Style Breakfast at the Londesboro Hall SUNDAY, SEPT. 25 9AM-1PM PANCAKES, SAUSAGES, BACON, EGGS, JUICE AND TOAST PROCEEDS FOR COMMUNITY WORK Sponsored by the Londesboro Lions Club t i � si ,�.�, rs v tre : viti The Blyth Summer Festival closed its doors for the past summer season on Sept. 14, to reopen next June. With its closing each season, Blyth village life changes. Some residents once again feel more at home on the main street see- ing and speaking to only those whom they know and see quite frequently; while others deplore the deserted appearance of the town's main street, especially on Thursdays when an air of ex- citement during the theatre season prevails prior to and after the matinees. They en- joy seeing and becoming part of the activity. With the closing, a few homes have changed too — the guest homes which have made available for several years now bed and breakfast and warm hospitality to theatre visitors. Back to more normal routine and breakfasts by themselves with just one or two courses, whether they like it or not, are the Lawries, the Mc- Crea's the Blakes, Hazel Dalrymple and Ralph Caldwell's who live close to the outskirts of the village. Other country families, more distant from Blyth, also take guests. When asked what they en- joy most about their visitors the hosts invariably reply, "The Conversation" for which there is plenty of time at the breakfast table and after the night show when often coffee or tea is served "on the house". The guests learn right on the spot what makes rural communities tick and hosts eagerly listen to what goes on in larger cen- tres, not only in their own province, but in all parts of Canada and even beyond. In one home stayed a guest from New Zealand. How m', h there wnc to talk about! At the same home a trye est lady from Victoria, B.C. stayed. She was visiting theatres from the east coast to the west, bringing home reports and ideas to her theatre in Victoria of which James Roy, founder of Blyth theatre is the head. The grandmother and great grandmother of Scott Weir, the theatre's sound techni- cian, stayed at another home for one or two performances. They came from Mississauga. Then to con- clude the season, Scott mov- ed in to the same home for two weeks. One host holds a chef's cer- tificate earned through ex- tensive training some years ago. He said it was like old times cooking the ham and eggs and fixing the other dishes. His wife played the role of waitres?. Many professional people have stayed overnight in Blyth's guest homes. Dr. Jack Leitch, Medical In- Flesherton set to split rails For the tenth year you are invited to visit Flesherton, at the entrance to the Beaver Valley, to take part in the an- nual celebration of the Split Rail Festival on Sept. 23, 24 and 25th.

To clean dirty smudges from shoes, use an art gum eraser, or typewriter cleaner. Both can be purchased at stationery or office supply stores.

This season it so happened that a resear- cher for epidemiology at McMaster University, Hamilton, who was a guest at the same time as Dr. Leit- ch, learned that her research material was being used in his instruction period. They had not met before. One guest home is proud of the fact that they had suitable accommodation for very special guests, Canada's most noted playwright, Monsieur Gra- tien Gelinas and his wife, one of Montreal's well-known ac- tresses, Madame Gelinas. They found time to come to this small village to view, "The Innocent and The Just", which Monsieur Gelinas wrote in 1959 in the first production of which he played the lead, and which has played 600 times. "A very charming couple and so easy to entertain" replied the host when asked how they managed with the Gelinas, "even though 5 f Madame has a struggle with English," he added. To know they had obtained cool, comfortable bedrooms in a guest home in Blyth and that they were lucky enough to obtain choice seats for a play made a family of four from Sarnia very grateful. Their lake cottage at Ipper- wash had burned down and during the oppressive heat of the summer they were mak- ing do with a tent and a garage for living quarters. What a joy it was for them to find restful accommodation and delightful entertainment for relaxation! "It gave us tremendous satisfaction to realize that we were in a position to help this family," the guest home owner commented. The end of the summer season for guest homes does not mean the end of the guests. They keep returning and in between times cards and letters, especially at Christmas time, to and from one another keep the friend- ships lasting. Theatre, guest homes and guests play their part in keeping rural living a refreshing experience. • SeofoMh Fall Fair DEMO DERBY Resin or Shine Sat., Sept. 24th Car Inspection - 12:30 p.m. Demo Derby 2:00 p.m. CaII for registration 527-0398 Merchant exhibits and demonstrations including lounge in Arena open.
