SOCIETY The Barrie branch of the Canadian Cancer Society WEN DYS COLUMN Diction set and good show By WENDY HICKS Last week we went to Toronto to see the DOyiey Carte Companys er formance ofHMS Pina ore had been brought up on the com ny because my father wou often take me to Lon don to see them and this is why could never bear to do an amateur production Gilbert and Sullivan as per formed by DOyiey Carte is something quite by itself All the singers in the chorus are trained all the actions and stage business are repeated for each performance and in ched the audience would be most upset if there were any deviation The diction is perfect One can hear and understand every word from each of the soloists and from the chorus Often in travelling show the scenery and costumes become rather tatty but for this show they were sparkling The set which con Sisted of the deck of HMS Pinafore with sailing ship in the harbor behind was newlypainted and well designed The costumes were ankingfresh and clean oes polished and trousers pressed So if sound as though we enjoyed ourselves its because we did And am even more determined never to do an amateur er formance at least unti the right people are there to do it In the program there was an interesting letter from student complaining about the high ticket price and an even more interesting letter from Ed Mirvish in reply As ii The Preceptor

spent four weeks in Florida for vacation am involved with the Gryphon Theatres sub scription series it was fascmating to find that Mr Mirvish who is an acclaimed business man above all else thinks that the subscri tion is the only way to provi good theatre for the subscriber and for the company The company must know to large extent how much money there will be for the season and this is provided in advance by the subscriptions The benefit for the subscriber is usually monetary one in the Gryphons case one show free The company can bring in better actors if it knows what money is available and the subscriber knows that he or she has seat for each per formance It really does make sense and this is why we are trying so hard to sell the sub scriptions before the season opens Mr Mirvish made another very good point He pointed out that there is great cost and risk in producing musicals toda For instance the DOyiey arte Com ny was brought over rom England at great expense It has cast 65 and full or chestra making total of over 100 peo le Imagine the air fares an cost of bringing the scenery and costumes not to mention ac commodation while they are here He said that even if the company sold out they could not make money This is why in some cases ticket prices must be high to offset these costs But even so subscribers still save NEW CHAPTER IN SORORITY chapter attended

to depict what is mental health for Mental Health week Above is the work of pa tient in the Oakridge divi sion Mentally healthy person has fears and depression WIFE May to May is Mental Health week and during this period the Barrie Examiner will be carrying series of six articles covering variety of topics including mental health and the elderly and mental health and education in an effort to define mental health and point out the im portant part it plays in all aspects of our daily lives By JAMES HENDERSON MD All of us use words like normal and healthy as matter of course and for the most part we know what we mean by them However sometimes we have to state what we mean by them and that always poses some dif ficulty want to say something about what it is to be normal orto be healthy One way to put it is that health means maturity of the kind that belongs to the age of the individual To be sophisticated or intelligent in some matter before the age at which one might be ex pected to be is no more healthy than to be delayed in development Maturity depends in complicated ways on an interplay of innate qualities that one is born with or which are predetermined at the time one is born and good enough environment to foster the emergence of those innate qualities The good enough environment starts with high degree of adap tation of the mother to the in dividual infants needs Usually the mother is able to rovide this adaptation ause of the special state she is in around the time of birth and caring for young baby In health the mother is able to delay her function of failing to adapt to her infant until the baby becomes able to react angrily to deprivation rather than be traumatized or damaged by it have tried to put this in such way as to underline the crucial importance of the in fantmother relationship and of the function of mothering generally as an absolutely crucial uilding block of in dividual mental health and of social velibeing in our com munities We can look at the question of the individual in relation to his community or society as an extension in adult life of what most of us experieiced in relation to our family In health man or woman is able to move toward an iden tification with society without president Bileski Bertie vicepresident Joan Stoner treasurer and Norma Sykes secretary Examiner Photo too great loss of individual or personal autonomy and freedom Inevitably there is some loss of personal freedom in societys demand for control of personal im pulse but the extreme of this total identification with society with total loss of sense of self and of importance of self is not normal or healthy at all We see that kind of ill health occasionally in these times of premium attached to community relatedness It is not healthy from ychiatrists point of view or the individual to lose him self in the group community or collective It is clear then that we are not contenting ourselves with the idea of health as simple absence of symptoms of disorder Health is not ease The life of healthy in dividual is inevitably charac terized by fears conflicts doubts frustrations and oc casionally depression What is involved in health is reasonable coping together with the feeling that man or woman is living his or her own life taking responsibility for action or inaction and ac cepting credit for success or blame for failure Included in health is the idea of tingling life and the magic of in timacy These things go together to create sense of feeling real and feeling enriched The healthy per sons inner world is in reasonable harmony with the outer or actual world yet it remains personal and the emotionally healthy person is mpable of inner richness and aliveness think it can be usefully emphasized here that flight to sanity is not health There is psychological value in depression or perhaps in the health that is inherent in the capacity to be depressed and to use depression con structively as springboard to further personal growth The depressed mood is nearer so to speak to the ability to feel responsible to feel guilty to feel grief and to lflee joy when things go we ENGAGEMENT Mr and Mrs Lawrence and
