The midget boys' team were the last team in the playoffs. Last Friday evening they played again in Varna in the best two out of three series and lost in the final game with a score of 9 to 8. Coaches for the team • were Brian Durst and Tim Lowey. Colborne Township Recreation Committee', the girls and bbys who played, the parents of the boys and girls and yes, all of us, say a special thank you to the coaches. of the teams for their interest and untiring efforts for the sport of softball. Without the coaches, . there would have been no softball so their co-operation has done a.great deal for the boys and girls this summer, as in former yea7rs. Thank you coaches,•you have done a good job and have helped the girls and boys.

The meeting closed with the benediction after 1 ''117 returned from a ten day holiday trip with Horizon Holiday Tours. They flew to Victoria and ferried back to Vancouver and then by bus travelled to Banff, Chateau Lake Louise, Columbia Ice Fields, Jasper and Calgary among other places. The weather was perfect and it was a very enjoyable sight seeing holiday. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Vanderlinde visited their homeland during the past summer and their children, Ron and Margaret, joined them but remained for an extra holiday with their grandparents and relatives in Holland, returning home in time for school. They reported that, while in Holland, the weather was very dull and wet and they were glad to return home to warmer weather. - Mr. and Mrs. Worthy Fowler have returned home from a holiday in Oakville visiting Mrs. Fowler's brother, Tom Anderson and also their son, Dr. and Mrs. Donald Fowler and "children Janine, Deanne and Marissa in Glen.

' THIS is modern day thinking -.,you may un- derstand it — I had to read to the end before I saw daylite. Lateral thinking, in short, is most valuable in those problem situations where vertical thinking has been unable to provide a solution. (Do they .mean you .are standing up or lying down - thinking?) When you reach that impasse and feel. the fight upon you, quickly reprogram your thinking. 1. Is there any way the problem can be ex- pressed? • 2. What random ideas come to mind when you relax and think about it? 3. Can you turn the problem upside down? 4. Can you invent another problem to take its place? 5. Can you shift the emphasis from one part of the problem to another? LATERAL THINKING is simply approaching the problem from a different point of view. Instead of approaching the target directly, you approach it from a sideways point of view or laterally instead of vertically — com- prehend? Well now, there are several new businesses in town - don't know how I have missed them but anyway if you know them GOOD, if not, do get to know these places of business. Dot Scott has opened at 30 Kingston Street, a shop for children - infants to age 14 and the shop name is "The Tender Years". I don't know anyone who might now more about the TENDER years than Dot Scott. That girl has mothered more children than any of us realize and I am very happy to know that she is still in the. "Children business". She 'tells me business has been veryi•.,,good and she is happy tb be so busy. So, good luck, Dot. I'm sure many, many people, knowing how well you know children, will be asking your expert advice in clothing them. Another little store, "Jana Health Store", has opened on Hamilton Street and it too is doing very well. Judy and Art McMichael, the proprietors, are well- known in the area. Frank McMichael is Art's uncle - Dungannon, I believe and they had lived in Seaforth. So I'm sure, along with Goderich folks, they are glad to see this little shop opening. There are always so many interesting things in these shops - some you know about, others you are not sure - so don't be afraid to ask Judy about them. And wish them good luck and good health - for all of us. Goderich Little Theatre have chosen the cast for their first play - "Fiddler on the Roof". -They had a great turnout for the auditions. Now that the cast is set, there are still places open. for back stage work - which to me is the best part of theatre. There are so many in- teresting things to do and they can always use more help. It is wonderful the way people are responding. We do need the big "Polley Stable" on South Street next to Bedford Hotel, for theatre ind other entertainment and the sooner we raise the money, the better. Money isn't the only need. When the GLT barn, burned down awhile ago, they lost a great inventory of clothes - especially the real old ones which are s� hard to replace; a piano; their sets and so many things that are used in the different productions - you just wouldn't believe the variety of things. Many of you may have things you no longer need or use, that you may think of -throwing away. Why don't you call one of the Theatre people to see if they need it? If they do, lit will certainly be great since not everything they use is new.- the old stuff usually fits in. June Hill, Wellington Street, is the GLT President and Muriel Reinhart (Mrs. W.) is in charge of wardrobe. -Ruth Leonard (4-7806) can be reached most evenings; she usually knows the things needed for most productions. GLT playbill is terrific for this coming season. Fiddler on the Roof was a big movie - terrific music and beautiful voices in this play. This- i§ on the boards.

The next play is a hilarious comedy, "Private Lives" - .I Boonstra YFC speaker South Huron a '.F.C. held their Fall Retreat at Camp Canbay Bayfield over the ... weekend. It started Friday evening and ended . Sunday af- ternoon. This is for teenage boys and girls. Theme for the Camp this year was "Thou dost keep him in perfect . Peace, whose mind is stayed on. Thee because he trusts in Thee" Isaiah 26.3". Main speakers for sessions and workshops were, Mr. and Mrs. Arch Andrews of Bayfield. Mr. Andrews is currently working with Huron - Centre for Children and youth in Clinton, also Mr. and Mrs. Richard Boonstra of Goderich. Smile Heard ' about th,e two movie stars who called off their wedding? They couldn't decide whose name should be first on the invitations. Mr. Boonstra is working with family and children services. Mr. Paul Sharrow of Grand Bend is at present working with youth in Goderich. Friday evening a musical group from Stratford known as "His Sh:ee.p •,:.pppvided the entertainment,,. Saturday was workshops and sessions4- and a time of Fellowship. and. $pprts with a film in evening entitled "Pilgrims Progress No. 2". Also a real time of music and singing led by Joan Van Essen and Betty Neevil. Each evening finished with a camp fire and hot chocolate and muffins and cookies. Sunday morning a session led by Mr. Andrews, followed by an outdoor informal service around the camp fire site. Youth For•ehrist board members and their wives under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Perry; Exeter provided meals and supervision for the event.

I understand they finally had to raise the price of the season's tickets - but what else is Martha Rathburn new? The cost of the rights to present, these plays, the play books and about everything that goes with theatre has jumped in price so where can you see three live theatre performances for $10 nowadays? There are many new people in our town, now, who will not be on the theatre -goers' list so I hope anyone who is not contacted, . will phone Joyce Kuran (524-9017) or Mary Lynne Telford (524- 9635). Another business I was not aware of is the Fish 'n Chips take-out shop at the harbour. I didn't know Jim Sovie had been running a fish processing plant, registered,. for the last eight years. The take-out business has been doing very well, they - Jim and Audrey - tell me and they hope to carry on the take-out l business during the winter months. Well, we are losing two 1, people who have been, very active in many things since they moved 1% , to Goderich. Brian and „t' Beth Markson and family - or ,part of the family are . leaving soon- Tor - Vernon, B.C., a beautiful i part of the Rocky 1,1 Mountain area. They've I;, worked so hard with I theatre and other en- tertainment. Brian will be missed too in Rotary and they will both I be missed by many other - groups. They are going to a part of Canada they really love although -I'm sure they liked Goderich too, and we can only wish them" "Good Health and Happiness" in their new • home. They are going to the Okanagan Valley area - a place I've been wanting to visit for many, many years. Perhaps some day I'll make it, who knows? There's lots of in- teresting things in store for yo.0 this winter, so get out and enjoy them. Love, Martha. th Martha TV BINGO STARTS SEPT. 17th ART'S 166 Bennet St. E.
