Grand Bend theatre has best year yet
The Huron Country Play-
house recorded its best year
ever for finances and artistic
performances. the Play-
house's Board of Trustees
was told at their annual
meeting held recently at
Sanders Tavern.
Artistic director Aileen
Taylor -Smith reported that
"It was a big season, and the
quality was evenly spread
throughout, too. Next year
should be even better for
us."
Financially, the Play-
house's expenses were high.
er this year, but revenue was
also higher, general manager
Heather Reddick said. Sub-
scriptions were up by 17
percent, government subsid-
ies rose by 513,000. and
support from private, cor-
porate and foundation sourc-
es was in excess of $60,000,
she said.
Boz office receipts rose
by 530,000 and average
attendance per show in.
ceased 88 percent, she add-
ed.
The Board met to review
the year's financial state•
ment to install the new
trustees for 1982. The new
members are John McKenz•
ie. Dave Bannister. Rowe
Dinney, William Heirsohn,
Sue Falagario, and Helen
McLaughlin.
A bright note in the
statement of operations was
the profit of 510,000, the first
profit ever recorded. Part of
the reason for this was the
rise in operation donations
from 520,254 last year to
$90,480 this year. Seven
fundraising events yielded
57,535, a 100 percent im-
provement over 1980. Re-
venue from stage perfor
mances topped 5200,000.
The 510,000 profit was
used to decrease the working
capital deficiency for this
year and some amounts owed
to the Holding Foundation,
the Playhouse's capital corn -
pang.
The Playhouse is entering
its third year of a support
program with the Wintario
Arts Challenge Program.
Under the program's terms,
Wintario funds will be grant•
ed to the Playhouse if it can
raise more than 14.7 percent
of its operating expenses for
three years. In 1981, 14.7
percent of its expenses of
5358,342 worked out to about
549,000 but the Playhouse
raised 590,480 in donations.
Thus, in the three-year
period ending next Septem-
ber, Wintario is expected to
match every donated dollar
two-for-one which exceeds
the 14.7 percent margin.
"However, it is entirely up to
the Ministry of Culture and
Recreation to decide whether
it will continue to use these
figures in the future," Mrs.
Reddick stressed.
This year the Playhouse
put on two musicals, which
made expenses higher last
year, she said.
Executive member Bill
Amos reminded his fellow
trustees that "the bulk of
money here is returned to the
community. Some people
don't recognize the impor-
tance of the theatre. It's a
$400,000 industry, and when
related effects are included,
the total picture is over one re -appoint its auditors, Ward

From Me to You
last Christmas alone
By Rhea Hamilton
Well it's beginning to
happen. The Christmas spirit
is invading the Seeger house•
hold and taking a firm grip on
its occupants.
it all started with the kids'
Christmas concert last week.
Surely the spirit takes hold
first in the simple and open
minds and hearts of the
children.
We even put on a Christ-
mas album this weekend by
the Canadian Brass and,
singing along with it, we got
the tree up and decorated.
But there will be no Christ-
mas cookies in our house this
year unless I have a spare two
hours Christmas Ey a to make
some shortbread bells and
wreaths. We won't suffer
though as both Klaus and 1
have mothers who have been
busy baking for the last two or
three weeks and can't stand
to sec an empty plate at this
time of the year.
For Klaus and t this Christ-
mas will be the last one we
celebrate in our own home
alone.
Like so many young
couples we have taken the
plunge and art expecting our
first child in April.
There will be no more
excuses as to no time for the
home at Christmas or any
other time of the year. With
little Sam to think about,
every occasion will be a big
event. I already envision the
Easter tree we used to make
when we were children and
the summer Christmas part-
ies we would share with our
cousins in August to help us
pass the long summer
through.
So if 1 seem a little slower
than usual or a little more
absent-minded than my
normal self you will under-
stand it is only for a short time
and then 1 will be back into
the swing of things by fall.
Yes by fall. It will be my first
summer off since t was 12
years old.
Mind you. too many
mothers that I mention this
to, wink and nod and with a
grin remark that they will see
if it is a summer off. I think
they may know something
that i still have to learn.
Meanwhile this Christmas
is in full swing. If you have
missed the school concerts
and the concerts at the
Memorial Hall there is one
last hope for you if you want
to hear some Christmas
music. The Blyth Guides will
be out carolling tonight Tues-
day, for Christmas. Keep
your ears tuned and maybe
you will be lucky enough to
hear them.
The snowy weather sure
makes everything ripe for the
season end hopefully it will
killoff some of those flu and
cold germs that are plaguing
both the schools and work
places. In the past we have
been fortunate in avoiding
REV. ROBiN LYONS
these bugs but this year I
think we are getting it in
doses. Klaus was home two
and half days with a dilly of a
cold and 1, being the healthy
smug bug was ready to take
awards for avoiding it when
on the weekend I was forced
to bed with sneezes and
wheezing and running nose.
It doesn't pay to be smug.
Now it is 1 who will have to
hustle and get better quick
before traipsing around
Christmas day to visit all the
family. But with a few extra
hours of rest and a bit more of
that hot lemonade and honey
1 just might be ready.
Both Klaus and 1 wish you
and yours a Merry Christmas.
As the years carry on we get
later and later sending cards
to those too far away to get
the Blyth Standard. But for
those of you who read this,
our thoughts and wishes are
for a happy season and New
Year for you. And for the rest
we will have to get busy and
get our New Year's messages
written on those Boxing Day
sale cards that everyone likes
to pick up after Christmas.
Merry Christmas every-
body.

May the Child
King who came
to save us all
bestow His special
blessings on us this
Christmas.
Let's try fora Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas? How tan we have a
merry Christmas?
Isn't the interest rate so high people are
worried about losing their homes? Aren't
people losing their jobs everywhere because
of businesses going under? Aren't farmers in
danger of losing everything they've worked
for' Don't we have the feeling that the people
in control aren't in control?
The magnificence of the human spirit has
often come out at Christmas. We've heard
tales of both sides in war setting down their
weapons for the day and celebrating the birth
of the prince of peace. We've heard of people
with very little food still sparing some of what
they had with others who had even less. The
number of heartwarming stories bring a lot of
the true meaning of Christmas into our lives
each year.
Yet if humans have the capacity to make
the best of a bad situation, they also have the
ability to make the worst of a good situation,
an infinite capacity for feeling sorry for
themselves. They see only what they don't
have, not what they have. So this Christmas
for many the Christmas spirit will be badly
bruised. if not broken, by the pressures of a
modern Christmas. The Lord's name will be
used many times, more often in crushes of
Christmas shopping and nerve-jungling
traffic jams than in retelling the Christmas
story. We will complain about the high prices
Behind the Scenes
by Keith Roulston
and our shrinking dollars and the rip off that
Christmas has become while we heard
television interviews with merchants who
worry that Christmas just isn't as good from
an income point of view as usual and what are
they going to keep going what with costs the
way they are today.
On Christmas morning many of us will find
our microwave ovens, our digital watches,
wr minicomputer home entertainment
centres under the wrapping. But there are a
lot of other precious gifts which we don't find
under the tree. We've already got them, and
like the kid who quickly discards the first toy
he opens because he only has eyes for the
newest one, we have taken these gifts for
granted.
One of the gifts we have that we forget is
the gift of just being able to celebrate this
holiday without fear. There arc parts of this
world where religion has been banned as
dangerous to the state, where people have to
go to all kinds of subterfuge to practice their
religion, meeting in the dead of night, afraid
they may slip and reveal their religious
feelings to some stranger who will report it to
the authorities.
On the other hand we have the right to
celebrate this holiday as we wish, or not at all
if we wish. There are parts of the world where
the religious zealots have taken over
completely, where they, who have the only
answer about their god, insist that everyone
go along with their ideas, sometimes with the
penalty of death for disobedience.
We have the peace part of the Peace on
Earth proclamation of the angel choir. We
have had this blessed peace for so long that
most of us don't know what it really means.
We hear of wars and rumours of wars but we
have no first hand experience of the horrors
involved. It's impossible, no matter how
vivid the television news footage, for us to
understand the grief, the frustrations and
fears of those who have to live in a country
torn apart by war.
We don't know what it's like to have our
homes, our communities reduced to rubble.
to have sons killed, daughters raped, children
maimed. We don't know what it's like to go to
bed at night not knowing if we will awaken.
We will sit down after the gifts arc open for
a bountiful Christmas dinner, a tradition,
something we would feel robbed if we
couldn't have. Yet looking at the heaping
tables of food would likely make the eyes of
many third world children pop out as far as
their distended stomachs. That amount of
food could keep a third world family alive for
weeks. We will spend. most of us, mare on
Christmas dinner and presents than most of
the people in tit' world earn in a year.
After if we f mble about what is wrong,
that the gove. ent is to blame for all the
hardships in of ves, we have the right to
ttrumble. An we we to do these days is look
at Poland to realize how precious a gift that is.
In many countries, for instance, you wouldn't
be reading this column because the writer
would have been in prison for his past
"crimes" against the state. You would be
cautious who you grumbled too because if
those grumbles were reported to the wrong
ears, you might be spending Christmas
behind bars.
There are those who would make us feel
guilty at this time of the year for the blessings
we have that others don't. There is no real
need to feel guilty, unless we are so
closed -minded that we fail to sec that we are
privileged.
We need not feel guilty, but at least we can
pause long enough to be thankful for the gifts
that aren't under the tree. And then if we can
take time to give to those who aren't so
fortunate, here or abroad so much the better.
A middle aged Fogie at Christmas
Some old fogies get all het up evt ry year,
and write letters to the editor, deploring the
increasing commercialism of Chth.tmas. I
used to do this when I was a young fogie, but
I've quit.
What's the difference? Well, a young logic
gets all upset about things that should upset
only old fogies. As he gets older, he really
doesn't give a diddle. They can play
"Rudolph the Red -Nosed Reindeer" on the
first of July, and it doesn't bother him.
An old fogie, on the other hand, is a young
fogie who has molded his ideas early, and left
them there to moulder. Or increased the
rigidity of his early opinions until they are
molded in iron. He likes "i'm Dreaming of a
White Christmas", but doesn't want it
played until there is some snow, and
Christmas is imminent (not eminent. as my
students insist).
I prefer to be a middle-fogie. This is a
person who listens to young fogies, old
fogies, nods solemnly in agreement, and
wishes they had buried "White Christmas"
with Bing Crosby, its perpetrator.
in other words, the young fogie dances in
the latest, frenetic style, because he doesn't
want to be called an old fogie. But he thinks it
is decadent. He'd like the return of the waltz
and the schottische.
While an old fogie shakes his head at the
modern, openly sexual dancing, knows the
dancers are all going to the hot place, and
would like to see the return of the waltz and
the schottische (polka, what have you?)
The middle fogie says, "Jeez, there but for
Sugar Et Spice
by 8illSmiley
the grace of God, Got." Or "Holey ole moley,
1 wish my arthritis would case up. I'd love to
try it, especially with that girl who's just
kicked off her shoes and displayed her
navel." He'd like the return of the waltz, but
never learned to count past two in the
one -two -three of the waltz, and gets tangled
up, and falls on his face. in a fast polka or
schottische.
This brilliant analogy, gentle reader, if you
are still there, represents my attitude toward
the commercialization of Christmas. I can
turn off the commercials and ignore the
town's brave decorations. Or i can crab when
they commence, or are erected (sorry, that's
a dirty word now).
Or I can say, "Cheeze 'n rice, I wish I were
back in business again, pulling in all those
dollars that should be going for food and
fuel."
As middle fogie, I choose to shut out the
carols that begin Nov. 1st, ignore the
drooping angels on the town decorations that
were erected (there it is again) on Nov. 8th,
and merely set my teeth, grit them a bit, and
try to get through the Christmas season,
bearing in mind that the Minister of Finance
wants a little piece of every action going on in
town, out of town, and across the country.
The aforementioned gentleman, if you'll
pardon the euphemism, after preaching a
budget of equity and restraint, went out to
lunch with a few of his ilk, and ran up a lunch
bill of between S600 and $2,000, depending
on which version you read.
That, to me, is the real Christmas spirit.
His boss, King Pierre the First, has
expressed similar sentiments. "If they can't
afford filet mignon, let them eat boiled sumac
bushes", Very tasty, by the way, and a true
national dish, along with pumpkin soup.
I don't really know where I'm going with
this column, but 1 have to live up to the billing
another teacher gave me this week, after he'd
arm -twisted me into talking to his creative
writing club:
"Wednesday afternoon, we are going to
have a seminar on writing, headed by Bill
Smiley, former reporter, editor, publisher
and author of a syndicated column that
appears in more than 150 papers across
Canada." It sounded great. Like those
November Christmas carols. But 1 cannot
say, "That's a lot of crap, John.'"
Little do the kids know that 1 was a reporter
because everybody else was doing something
useful; that I was an editor because nobody
else wanted to take the blame; that I was a
publisher only because l owed half of a
S30,000 mortgage; and that l am a household
word across Canada, almost inevitably
preceded by the prefix "full".
My colleague didn't mention that 1 wrote
stories about nothing happening in town that
week, just to fill up a hole on the front page;
that I infuriated merchants and township
reeves and little old ladies, and had to bear
the brunt; that 1 personally carried the
newspapers to the post office in bags
weighing about 280 pounds; that I helped
stamp and roll up the out-of-town papers; or
that I am neither rich nor famous.
However, the show must go on, whether
it's "Good King Wenceslau" in November,
or yours truly talking a group of youngsters
into adopting the glamorous life of journal-
ism, at 60 hours a week, and bask pay a little
below unemployment insurance.
But I must admit, the Christmas spirit sort
of grabs you, whether it's by the pocket -book,
or the short and curly.
Just this week, 1 wrote a letter of
recommendation for a student. If somebody
checked It out, 1 would be on the stand for
perjury, mopery and gawk. But, what the
heck, a commercial is a commercial, even
though It's a tissue of Iles, half-truths and
exaggeration.
Those Christmas commercials don't bother
a middle-fogie. 1 just wish i were being paid
for writing some of them.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 23. 1981 -- A9
We have God - given gifts
Suggested Reading - Acts 3: 1-10
By The Rev. Charles A. Swan,
Duff's United Church
Walton, Ontario
This Christmas season finds us in the midst of many crises - unsolved
problems of national unity, linguistic rights, unprecedented high
unemployment, native land claims, world hunger and poverty. Yet
billions of dollars are spent on the arms race. Think of what would
happen if ail this money were spent on the removal of ignorance,
illiteracy, poverty, and disease. In time of war we are able to mobilize
human and natural resources to kill people, and to plunder the earth, yet
we seem to lack the will to wipe out the causes of social unrest.
Many persons are angry, especially those who seriously wish to work
and cannot find employment. The poor are frustrated. Whilst working in
the inner City of Toronto at Fred Victor Mission, this writer mentioned
the name of God to a group of boys in Church School, One chap snapped
back and said: "Don't tell me anything about God, He does not like poor
people." There are a lot of people like that young lad in the world. In the
midst of disconcerting situations both at home and abroad, may we yet
hear the angels sing: "Peace on earth and good will toward all peoples."
The Christmas season is a time when we enjoy giving and receiving
gifts. In the midst of all of our activities, we may be inclined to lose sight
of what Christmas is all about. Christmas means that God shared His
most wonderful gift with all peoples - namely His Son to be the Saviour of
the world. Everything we do should be centered in the birth of Jesus
Christ who was born 10 make all things new.
Peter and John in the suggested reading above, confronted the lame
man at the Temple gate begging. Peter said: "I have no silver and gold,
but I give you what I have...." What do we have to give? What gifts can
we pass on to others In addition to such things as snowmobiles, jewelry,
clothes, toys and so forth?
We do have God-given gifts which we can pass on to others. There are
gifts which bring a feeling of joy and happiness, and which last far
beyond Christmas Day. Let us think about some of the God-given gilts we
The Blyth Saga
Floyd. Liz & Laura Herman
can share.
1. We can give the gift of peace. Ali of us can be peace makers. We can
pour oil on troubled waters. We can be reconcilers. That is, agents to
bring opposing and hostile people together so that they learn to live in
peace and harmony. We can share the gift of peace and serenity. The
Serenity Prayer used by Alcohol Anonymous people reminds us:
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change,
courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the
difference". May all of us be instruments of peace.
2. We can bring joy into the lives of others by being polite, thoughtful,
considerate. We can help to make life brighter and happier for others.
Surely when we put God first in our lives, others second, and self last,
we will experience joy in all its fulness. There are people who are
downhearted and sad. Let us endeavour to lift them up with a spirit of
joy. We can give the gift of joy which will be remembered.
3. We can also pass on courage to others. We can give the gift of courage
by our example. When we are able to hold on to life with all of its
steadfastness, and a fearless approach to life, we are passing on the
gift of courage. We can pass on our faith in God as the only certainly
in a world where, as Heraclitus the Greek Philosopher and Biologist
reminds us, there is nothing permanent except change - all is in a
state of flux. God as revealed to us by Jesus Christ, God fearing people,
and nature, is the one certain and dependable power in the universe.
We give courage to others by believing in them - by trusting them
- by making them aware that they have the ability to
live courageously in, spite of life's vicissitudes. We can help others to
know they are never alone, for whereever they are, God is there. We
can give the gift of courage by praying for others. We can place them
in God's loving care, but we must first do all that is in our powers to
ensure their happiness. We can encourage others to believe in
themselves and their potentialities and tell them God is never far from
any of us especially in time of need. We can all pass on the gift of
courage this Christmas. it will endure when all the material things
we give have disappeared.
May we, like Saint Peter, give what we have of ourselves so as to build
better human relationships. May we pass on meaningful gifts this
Christmas and always.
We feast on
serving you the
best! MERRY
CHRISTMAS!

Blyth council briefs from lost week
The village may have to
borrow funds January I to tie
it over until government
grants come through.
Cost of sewage hook up for
public buildings was looked
at by council. Memorial Hall
is S506.68. Blyth and Com-
munity Centre (Arena)
51,213.75 and clerk's office
5412.60. These figures are all
for one sum or council could
approve payments to be
carried over 40 years. The
matter will be discussed
further and will have to be
budgeted for in 1982.
Council received a letter
from the Lavis firm asking
that it reconsider the 5.500
penalty for not completing
the paving job on Dinsley
Street in the alloted time
schedule. Council felt the
firm had wasted good days
and then had to hold back due
to the rainy weather. The
matter was left as it stands
and councils made the motion
for the letter to be acknow-
ledged.
Council retired into in -
camera session to discuss
salaries and staff wages for
the up coming year.
May the Angel of light watch over
you and those dear to you, now and;

forever. Have a Merry Christmas!

L — -
driving this winter
Each winter brings new
stories of motorists Stranded
by blizzardsana snowstorms.
According to the Ontario
Safety League. all motorists
should carry basic winter
survival equipment in the car.
Together with jumper ca-
bles, salt or sand to provide
traction, your basic survival
kit should include the follow•
ing ingredients:
1. A shovel or hoe to
improve your chances of
freeing your car.
2. A couple of wool blan-
kets to provide warmth. Make
maximum use of body heat by
sharing blankets.
3. Matches, candles, or
containers of canned heat and
a coffee can to melt snow for
drinking water-- never use
unmelted snow as a substi-
tute for drinking water. The
candle and can could also
double as a foot warmer.
4. A couple of plastic bags
can provide excellent protec-
tion from wind if it is
necessary to go outside the
car. Just cut out head and arm
holes and slip them over the
shoulders. However, leaving
your carshould only be done
when absolutely necessary.
S. A flashlight will provide
light if you are forced to stay
in your car overnight. It can
also be used to signal your
location to rescuers. Medical
authorities say alcohol is not a
good survival hem. It causes
dilation of blood vessels close
to the skin, speeding up loss
of body heat.
To extend your gas and
heat supply, run your engine
about ten minutes in the
hour. Keep a downwind win-
dow open a crack for ventila-
tion when the engine is
running. Make sure the tail
pipe is clear of fumes. Don't
overlook newspapers as sur-
vival aids. They can be
wrapped around the feet or
placed on the floor for extra
insulation.
There arc. of course, items
that drivers should always
carry no matter what the
season: a chain or a stout
rope for towing and flares to
mark off the highway in case
of an emergency or accident.
Although it is a frightening
experience to be stranded
during a blizzard, try to
remain calm. Panic is your
worst enemy. Calm, reasoned
action plus a basic survival kit
will keep you alive for a
surprisingly long time.

Virginia O'Hanlon, 115 Wtst 915th Streit
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the
skepticism of a skeptical age They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their
little minds. AU minds, irginia, whether they be men's or children's,
are little In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant. in
his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as
measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth
and knowledge
Yes, V irginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist. and you know that they abound
and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas'. how dreary
would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary
as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no
poetry. no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have
no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which
childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on
Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see
Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa
Claus. but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The moat real
things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see.
Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's
no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all
the wonders there are unseen and unseeebk in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise in.
gide. but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the
strongest man. nor even the united strength of all the strongest men
that ever lived. could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love.,
romance. can push aside that curtain and view and picture the
Mupernal beauty and glory beyond. is it real? Ah, Virginia, in all this
world there ►s nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank
God he lies, and he lives forever A thousand years from now,
Virginia, nay 10 times 10 thousand years from now. he will continue to
melte glad the heart of childhood. •
