Having been involved with professional theatre for 20 years, Miriam got her start in England auditioning for a Children's Theatre Company and was accepted. Dur- ing her 10 year stay in England, Miriam met and later married director Peter Messaline. She and her husband travel across the coun- try lecturing on the business side of acting.

Allan Stratton's Papers this season, Miriam actually just "fell into theatre", originally intending to be an English professor. She has always had a particular liking for Allan Stratton and his work. Says Miriam. "Allan Stratton has a quick, sharp mind with a tremendous love and appreciation of words and their power. He is charming, vulnerable and quite mad!" Academies are a prime target in Papers which is set in a small rural university and two lonely articulate, would-be lovers strug- gle with their inability to communicate. Papers, written by Allan Stratton and directed by Lloy Coutts plays at the Huron Country Playhouse from July 13 until July 25/Playhouse II at 8:30 p.m. Matinee Wednesdays, Thursdays at 2:30 p.m. For ticket information, call 238-8451: Martha still trying to find bumper for little, old "66" Here we go with another great Art Mart in Courthouse Park this week. "Art Mart" is what we named it when we had our first shows -that was a long time ago. At first there were just paintings with artists from all around Southern Ontario: Then we talk- ed the craft people into bringing their wonderful variety of hand made things to the show too.This rounded the show to a better size and used up at little mere space. There is still a lot of space that can be used and each year something new is added. To tell the truth I really miss the hustle and work of getting ready for this big show, but it is now safely in younger hands -and 1 hope they enjoy it as much as .. did the little (Troup who worked so hard getting it started, I am trying to find another bumper for my little old "66". There are not too many around of this vintage. That bumper Was . certainly made of good steel it surely say= ed our lives by being so tough. This "Buick -Special" had been treated with T.L.C. all it's life. When I managed to become the new owner' it had 'only a "wow" in the back bumper. Dear knows how or what had happened at that time but itdidn't bother me when people asked when I had done it. I had a clear cons ciente. Now, it is a different tune and it really shows -but no one can believe how fast and easily it happened. I hope I never have another such surprise Our hot sticky weather is, I hope, nearly over. This has been a year of surprises for this area. I hear the Spring was here before anyone realized it -you were still waiting for that last famous blizzard of the winter. Then the sun coaxed the early flowers to bloom and a good many plants were injured when the weather changed. A friend pointed out quite a few mishaps of that early Spring, I was amazed. One thing I loved about Goderich'in the Spring was the thousands of tiny purple violets along side the sidewalks all over town. There ROUND 'N ABOUT With Martha Rathburn was no haste in those days to cut them down and they bloomed for weeks -it seem- ed. They certainly added to the brag' of Goderich being the "Prettiest Town". Call your friends remind them about Art in the Park and other special things and hope the good weather holds. Did you ever go to a Shopping Mall such "as our Suncoast, where there are seats where you can sit and just gaze around? This was my first time. People, in the A&P Store were busily filling shelves and darting back and forth, It was just about 7:30 but while I sat there a couple of early shoppers left the place. Sohn the Restaurant people came along -I was glad to see them. It was not too long when the store people started drifting in. Another day had started at the Mall.. When you cross the bridge to Saltford • you now find that beautiful "creeper" has Started to cover the hill and the great col- our that is creeping up the hill just brightens your day. Have you been out to - the Little Lakes lately? I haven't -so I wonder about it. Everytime I go I «wish there was a little more space where one could sit for half an hour and enjoy the view. Do you think someday someone will do something about it? There are too few places where one can sit and relax in the country. Along the Maitland, especially, there could be more spots. I'm a dreamer, I know -and some people can't see the flowers for the trees!
