More than 50 moms and
youngsters gathered at the
Wingham Town Hall last
Wednesday afternoon for the
presentation of `Dog', per-
formed by: the Port Stanley.
Players.
The play, brought to

audience, but 'for the miost
part was handled . with ex-
pertice by the young talented
actors.
The story describes a girl
and her dog's conflicts with
the real and ung worlds of
backyard sur er life.
Destined to be `grounded"
to her backyar for the af-
ternoon, the 12 -year-old girl,
Angela, falls into a fantasy
world' where dogs can, talk,
walk upright and have
phylosophies and religions of
their own.
The phot • finds the
youngster travelling with
four dogs under the earth to
the Hall of Two Truths,
where dog souls are judged.
The group's mission is to
banish the monster of doubt
and indecision from one of
the judge's mind.
Author Jim Schaffer dis-
plays his understanding of
children's imagination and
logic with `Dog', as he com-
bines fantasy and mystery
with childhood frustrations
and idealism. The 40 -minute
production appeals to
youngsters as they watch
their own pets strive for a
fair deal and see themselves

After 34 years in 'the retail grocery
business m Wingham, circumstances
have forced us to close our store doors
for the last time.
Although those years of growth
and change presented many
problems, they were happy years
and the Red Front Grocery
prospered because of your
patronage.
The unfailing loyalty of our
customers and the pleasant
business relationships we
enjoyed with so many
local families made our
efforts rewarding. We will
miss those happy associations
in the days ahead.
Our wannest thanks and
heartfelt appreciation are
extended to everyone of
our former customers .. .
the folks who have been
our friends.
