I had first at- temp#d to see it in Barrie at a Saturday matinee, but there was a lineup of patrons which extended clear around the corner. A week later the film played at the Midland and Penetang theatres simultaneously. I finally got to see it at the Pen Theatre during the Winterama weekend, in fact the night the Winterama Queen contest was held there. "Grizzly Adams" must have met with quite a response in this area as well as it had in Barrie, because it will be returning to the Pen Theatre again later this month. "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams' is based upon an actual historical character named John Capen Adams. Adams was a fur trapper and mountain" man who lived in the late nineteenth century. His -unique relationship with nature, established after years of living in solitude in the wilderness, yielded an understanding of the out- doors and of the animal world that was to make him a legend. The dime-novels of the period began grinding out exploits about a character they named "Grizzly Adams'"'. . The movie begins with Adams (played by Dan Haggerty) saying goodbye to his eight-year-old Peg, as he leaves his home probably forever. He has been framed for a crime which he did not commit, and rather than be locked away in prison he opts for a life of freedom in the wilderness. For a long time Adams is alone in his new life in the wilderness, but he ends up making_ several friends. One is an Indian brave whom Adams saves from an attack by a cougar; the other is an orphaned grizzly. bear cub which he rescues from a ledge on a high mountain cliff. "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams" is both a nature film and an ad- venture film. It is also a fine movie for family en- tertainment, and un- doubtedly one of the reasons it has been so commercially successful is due to the very fact that it is one of the few films around which parents can take their kids to see, regardless of age. Youngsters will be delighted at the antics of Ben, the grizzly bear and will thrill to such sequences as an at- tacking cougar and a dangerous trek through treacherous rapids. "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams" will be playing at the Pen Theatre for two days, Thursday March 20th and Friday March 2ist, as part of a double bill. The second feature is another man-in- the-wilderness type of film called "Brother of the Wind" Sow and pig seminar A sow and baby pig seminar will be held on Thursday, March 20, from 10 a.m, to 4 p.m. at the Blue Flame Room of the Con- sumers' Gas Building on Ferris Lane in Barrie. Swine ' specialist Paul Simmons will discuss the Selection of breeding stock and technician Al Harris will demonstrate the use of ultrasonic equipment for measuring back fat. Sow operators John Belk of erton and John Ruttan of Loretto will discuss their farm operations. Agricultural representative Alan Scott will discuss record requirements for measuring costs and returns per sow. Dr. Gordon King of the Animal Science Department at the University of Guelph _ will be the feature . af- ternoon speaker. Dr. King has worked with both the Belk and Ruttan herds as well as a number of other herds throughout Ontario. Regional library has new talking books The Georgian Bay regional library system has launched a talking book service for the handicapped. The library board has put a high priority on library services to the physically handicapped by allocating funds to purchase talking books and establish a region- wide distribution of the books to those persons with a visual or physical disability. The talking book service is designed for anyone who, because of a physical or visual disability cannot read or use the conventional book. Persons who wish to avail themselves of the service are required to be registered at their local public library and a special application form and declaration of disability must be filled out and signed by a person or organization of professional standing -- a doctor, therapist, or social worker for instance. "Talking books"' are audio cassette tapes which have been recorded by professional readers reading from from both fiction and non-fiction books. The cassettes are small, not easily damaged, easy to transport, and can be played on most of the easily operated standard cassette players. A limited number of cassette players will also be available for loan from public libraries in the Georgian Bay regional library system. There will be books by such authors as Agatha Christie, Earl Stanley Gardner, Charlotte Bronte, Farley Mowat, and Pierre Berton. Titles such as "The Day of the Jackal' by Frederick Forsyth, "Bleak House"' by Charles Dickens, "The Egg and I" by Betty Macdonald will be available. The regional board is strongly committed to the service, and standing orders have been placed with major producers of the talking books to acquire material as it is released. The board intends to develop and continue the service as an on-going programme for the residents of Simcoe, Bruce, Grey, and Dufferin counties. Further information on the talking books is availavle at your local library or at the Georgian Bay Regional Library system headquarters, 30 Morrow Road, Barrie. photograph albums and old letters, -- but there's also evidence that Maude's as up to date as any 20-year-old. She keeps a camera and a transistor radio within easy reach, and she uses her tape recorder to transcribe "Jetters" on days when she doesn't feel like writing. She has a great fund of stories -- some of them on the spicy side -- and she can carry on a more intelligent and gutsy conversation than now on a traditional double wedding ring pattern, piecing together hundreds of bits of coloured cloth. "There's a little bit of sewing here yet," she says, and holds up one of the squares, composed of 14 carefully cut and basted pieces. This coverlet will be quilted by the women of Waverley United Church. "It'll be a knock-out, and it'll help the Lord God," she says with a grin. Maude and her husband on the Sunnyside shoreline. "Down there in Portage Park, where all those nice homes are now, there used to be rows of shacks, side by side, where the Italian foundry workers lived," she says. Maude's husband died in 1963. '"'He was buried by Father Egan, because they were friends, you un- derstand. My. husband wasn't a Catholic." Her son died last year. Maude Brown has made munitions for two world wars Now Maude lives with her daughter-in-law, and keeps track of the world through newspapers, radio, T.V. "I wanna know what's going on!"' she insists. She doesn't get around much. She lost a leg in an auto accident in 1946. "That slowed me down,"' she says, "but it lengthened my life." Her vision and hearing are excellent. Arthritis hasn't slowed down her hand stitching. "If you haven't got Vecvscecceveees arthritis, you're not im style," she says with a mighty guffaw. . Maude -- Aunt Maude to her friends -- says she hasn't been downtown for years. "Ever since that accident,"* she says. "I'm just not fond of driving." ® But she doesn't seem to; mind.

"I watch them,'"' she admits, 'and when the religious people come around here to sell me or save me, I tell 'em they can turn the sound down, but leave the picture on!" The quilts are the won- derful thing. She's working moved to Sunnyside from ° Toronto in 1948. Back in 1914- 15, she spent summers on the Midland Point shoreline.
