Hell O, Dol ly | Five big shows planned by college Georgian College Music Theatre' ex- tension course enters its ninth season with a musical full of sure pizzaz and razzmatazz -- the whirlwind "Hello, Dolly!" Five performances are planned with evening shows on Feb 23, 24, 25 and 26 at 7:30 Rom eCont. from Page3 it's rough on 1 RCR to pit them against ar- mored vehicles and troops while they're on skis and carrying packs on their backs, but "That's the way it could be, in a real operation."' The lack of snow and cold has presented some problems. One of the reasons this area was chosen for the exercises was that it is well-known for severe winter weather and violent storms which make movement difficult. "We were hoping for more snow and colder temperatures, to train the men for conditions in Europe. The rainy weather makes tents and clothing wet and cold." The ist ~RCR en- countered the -- 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise) in a mock battle, on Mon- day, Jan. 31. The 8th C.H. moved into the training area last week and travelled towards the battle field in a series of three night moves from Wednesday to Saturday. Then their job was to locate the 1st RCR and engage them in battle. The exercise is called 'Exercise Nordic Runner"' by the 8th C.H. "The troops are told that there is an enemy force located in the area. It is a_recon- naissance job," says Captain Rick Dill of 8th Cine "Once the enemy is located, Lt. Col, E. R. Nurse makes his plan, p-m. and a matinee on Feb. 25, beginning at 2 p.m. Hello, Dolly! is based on Thornton Wilder's enchanting play "The Matchmaker."' It has a glorious score of hits and the refreshing in- nocence and charm of the 1890's. Dolly goes about her determined based on information from reconnaissance. The groups will engage in mock battle with blank ammunition. There will be no physical contact bet- ween the two groups." Commanding officers of the two sides evaluate the combat to determine the winner. Sometimes there are conflicts. "On Monday, a troop of "tanks" (actually wheeled _ vehicles equipped with a large calibre gun, used as a tank trainer) were attacking a company of infantry near Vasey. The infantry claims they destroyed half the tank troop, while the "tanks" say no way," said Captain Parker. The commanding of- ficers figure it all out later, and in the meantime the troops go on_ with their next exercise. "Our normal "modus operandi" for the in- fantry involves tent groups of two men per group. They are capable of pulling a toboggan with their tent and all the equipment they need to survive in winter on it. They carry hard rations, which may be eaten hot or cold. "The men are well- trained in setting up camp. They can have the tent up and stove on, heating water, in five minutes. It's necessary to be able to set up camp quickly. In extreme cold, sometimes it prevents serious in- juries. "You can't learn all this at the base. You have to train in the field."' at 7 WYE MARSH WILDLIFE INTERPRETATION CENTRE Hwy 12 (5km east of Midland) fesse =, 526-7809 Free Admission Friends of Wye Marsh : See Interested in the environment, wildlife and ecology?
