A coupl of them came to me this wee to convince me that it's mor ' fun to be alive and sufferin than stone cold dead in th Icemetery. The other night I took three busloads of students to see a I play, "Murder in the •Cathe dral", in a neighboring town. I won't even mention what a nightmare such an excursion is for the roan in charge of a hundred -odd lively teenagers. We arrived in best clothes and best manners, ready for an evening of culture. The house lights dimmed; the stark set was revealed; the chorus came an with its brooding note of doom and death. You could have heard a feather drop as a thousand youngsters sat en- thralled. Suddenly a riple of sound went through the theatre. The ripple rapidly became a wave. The chorus, in the best show tradition, bravely pressed on, its chant almost lost in the swelling titter. The ghost of the • old opera house had taken over. He had assumed the form of a large bat. The noise and lights had frightened him out of his eyrie among the rafters. And he put on a display of erobatics that stole the show. He swooped and swirled over audience and actors. He flick- ered through the shadows, in part that crippled children take ever -descending circles that had in treatment and recreation, in all the girls clutching their helping each other, in learning hair.

The Best Week TO ADVERTISE Is Every Week And there was Mr. Bat whist- ] ling around the actor's ears. The chorus wailed, "I have heard fluting in the nighttime have seen scaly wings slanting over." And guess who was fluting around gaily on his 1 scaly wings, right past their Inoses. All in all, a diverting eve- ning in the theatre. 1 won't speak for the players, but the kids and the bat loved it. My second reviving experi- ence was not with a bat, but a butterfly. I think that term best describes my 14 -year-old. She flits. She can't quite de- cide whether she's going to be a writer, a folk singer, an con- cert pianist or a basketball player. Your Purchase of Easter Seals Helps Crippled Children The Easter Seals that are be- ing mailed to every home in Ontario this week illustrate the ►Obviously, when Expo 67 opens, there'll be radio and TV, teletypewriters, picture transmission machines — and phones. And the microwave and cable equipment for almost all of them will be i supplied by Bell. 1 But it may surprise you to hear that Bell people were among the very first to work on the Expo site. They not only helped plan things from the very beginning— they were right in there with mobile or temporary phones as soon as the first machine got to work. Because: without communications (and that means much more than merely phones) there's practically nothing that can happen these days. That goes for the important big jobs like Expo, and the important little jobs like getting your phone installed. Each one requires a lot of work and effort — long before the first message ever goes through. Long -Range Planning—one of the reasons why Bell Communications serve you so well. Bell Canada 0 More progress in the care and treatment of the crippled child has been made in the past 25 years than during the whole previous history of man kind. This progress has hap- pened because people have been made aware of the needs of crippled children and have been given an opportunity to help by contributing to the Easter Seal campaign right in their own community. One of the major causes of disability among children in Ontario is a disease known as cerebral palsy. A few years ago this disease was shrouded in mystery but today the On- tario Society for Crippled Chil- dren's Easter Seal program is providing help for more than 3,000 cerebral palsy children who can be trained and do re- spond to the highly specialized expensive treatment that is given at 23 treatment centres in the province. The treatment is directed by experts towards training the undamaged part of the brain to take over the functions of the defective area to as great" a de- gree as possible. In many eases near miracles have been work- ed. In other cases the results are slow. The 1966 Easter Seal cam- paign must raise $1,000,000 in Ontario to guarantee that no crippled child in our province will go without treatment and assistance that he or she must have, Easter Sears have paved the way for expansion, progress and advancement, enabling every crippled child in the province to reach his or her full potential. Easter Seal con- tributions have a life-long ef- fect. It is good business — and good common sense — to support the Easter Seal cam- paign BOB'S Barber Shop MAIN STREET, ZURICH inimirmaiiimasampwamessimmi samsummeassueassmenessumesmssoimess CALL McADAMS RADIO AND TELEVISION REPAIRS To Television, Car Radios, Transistors, Hi-Fi, Etc.

Competition is rough, Her teacher and her mother had both told her she hadn't a chance, "because you haven't worked hard enough," She was pretty jittery, Teeth chattering, great • n e r v o u s] i yawns, four trips to the bath- room in 20 minutes. My ',heart bled for her. In her first class there were 12 competitors. Guess who was last, It was for students 20 and under. They were all good, Even though I've been to a hundred festivals, and am pretty worldly, my spirits sank, for her sake. The bell clanged. She went on stage. And as t sat, turning purple while holding my breath through a Bach prelude and fugue, she played like a tiger. Second place we take. We tottered out of the audi- torium in a daze, leapt into a cab, rushed to meet her Mom, and !hurled her words back Iito, her face. The kid repeated twice dux, ing the afternoon, and we ar- rived xrived home after a 1.2 -hour day and a 200 -mile trip, staggering with exhaustion but flushed with triumph. Of bats and butterflies, I guess, is the essence of life. / HOUSEHOLD DUST PAN when you buy a 07'1`, ' �ii HOUSEHOLD for CORN BROOM 99' alpha grass broom. r.
