Saturday. I p m to 5 p m Ri Well Chuck Cunringham, the liaison officer for the registrar‘s office at the University of Waterloo, is packing his bags again. The Allen St. resident will be making his rounds to all the northern Ontario high schools to inform the students of all the great opportunities awaiting them at UW . Chuck indicates that the shortage of skilled professionals in any given occupation has a direct influence on which courses will be filled up first. Elmira Raceway Friday night dates are over but Audrey Sippel of Hemlock Ave. will be right on the job for the Saturday races. Audrey is in charge of admissiqns and parking and even hired her husband this year. It seems Eldon had just retired after 44 years with Uniroyal but was pressed into service to sell programs at the tip sheet booth in June. Some guys never get a chance to rest. We dropped into the Waterioo Music store to buy my niece a piano book this week. It was nice to hear from a veteran staff member that the business is on the upswing again. It‘s great to see Dr. Robert Gibb back on his feet after two operations. The well known Kâ€"W Hospital Chiefâ€"ofâ€"Staff and former top gynecologist is moving around nicely at Clair Creek condos. Dr. Bob says he and Dorothy are looking forward to a trip down to Arizona this winter to visit his brother. They kept the medical tradition in the family with a son, a doctor in Hanover and a daughter, a former O.R:. nurse. One other daughter got out of the mold â€" she became a fashion model in Toronto. As you may be aware, Kâ€"W Oktoberfest has many imitators now. However, there is a financial spinâ€"off for our local suppliers. For instance, Grand Prairie, Alta., has decided to have their own festival this year and Jim Brickman, Waterioo brewer, confirms that they have ordered 4,000 cases of "German"‘ Brick beer. The Alberta town has also purchased a ton of J.M. Schneider Oktoberfest sausage and a truck load of souvenirs from our festival office. Nevertheless, Jim says his Kâ€"W customers will always come first and then he‘ll export the excess. Brick beer will be on hand at the Waterloo Lions Jamboreeâ€"Vegas Night Oct. 10 in the Waterioo Inn with compah band. Roundup Time: Oktoberfest Pageant Ball Oct. 3 at Valhalla; CKCOâ€"TV beauty contest Oct. 9 at UW Arts Centre; Lions Vegas night Oct. 10 at Waterloo Inn; festival parade Oct. 13 passes Town Square about 10 a.m.; Rotarians festival night Oct. 14 at Ruedesheimer; Blooming Affair fashion show Oct. 15 at Ruedesheimer. * Ab Kropf was telling us that they are getting lots of interesting customers with the Emerald "stretch jets" Limousines. Seems a group of ladies held a wedding shower in one while another couple was driven to Toronto to collect a 649 lottery ticket worth $250,000. This might be a safe way to pub crawl during Oktoberfest. MAIL NEWS ITEMS TO Around Town, Box 898, Waterioo, 1 0 W N with Ted Rooney Veteran actress Aggie C. Elliot will portray South America‘s most famous lady, the legendary Eva Peron in the Limelight Theatre production of the hit musical Evita at 8 p.m. Oct. 15 at the Centre in the Square. Evita is based on the life of Eva Peron, the second wife of Argentine dictator Juan Peron. It is the astonishing story about a girl from the most mundane of backgrounds who became the most powerful woman her country (and, indeed, Latin America) had ever seen, a woman never content to be a mere ornament at the side of her husband, the president. â€" Her death of cancer in 1952 at the age of 33 ensured that she became a legend â€" it is unlikely that even Eva Peron could have sustained her level of popularity with her beloved "descamisados" (the shirtless ones) had she lived.
