It s often difficult to put some of this in words but someone has managed to do it in a manner that conveys the spirit of Claudia Mcpherson s achievement. J. U. Wood of England was the official observer during the swim and it was his Job to certify the swim was made in accordance with the rules of the famous Channel swimming association. However or. Wood has written a letter to the Mcpherson family and i thought you d like to hear part of it. There was Only one person responsible for Claudia s Success and that was the Stout hearted Claudia herself. She put up a wonderful perform Ance of course she was superbly fit due credit Here to coach George Alliston but her mental reaction to the overwhelming frustration of Adverse wind and tide was out of this world. You indeed have reason to be proud of her. By three o clock the Day of the swim i noticed tears mixing with the sea water due to partial exhaustion but More Likely to intense disappointment this was when tides seemed to be halting her it was critical we lied to her about the distance from Shore but she knew we were lying. Time passed the tide eased and As i watched Distant objects on the Mainland i realized we were edging in. Everybody now knew Claudia had a Chance the whole spirit of the undertaking Rose and Claudia responded like the great girl she is. I can t Tell you How thrilling it All was. I bashed away on an old bucket with a screwdriver to keep her awake and All on Board went crazy. I could have cried. Please Don t think i am writing this for effect it is precisely what happened. Claudia is a Brave Brave girl and we were proud to have taken part in such a Triumph of mind Over somewhere Over the Rainbow some time ago this column bewailed the Lack of after show lighting at Rainbow stage following several complaints from spectators. Art Fletcher of metro has come up with what he says Are the facts. First of All out that metro increased lighting this year along footpaths in the Park and in the parking lot itself. Or. Fletcher also mentioned that metro is going to make renovations at Rainbow stage next year including spot lights for the audience following performances. Previously the Winnipeg Parks Board provided such spotlights which it borrowed each year from Winter playgrounds. Adds or. Fletcher it is obviously uneconomic to put in temporary spotlights renovations Are anticipated but the Lack of spotlights would not have a problem this year and these Are the ifs he lists. If the Rainbow stage association had not removed White lights from strings above the stage replacing them with Blue lights. If they had not covered up these exist ing lights with stage sets thus cutting off the sole remaining lights for the audience. If there had been electrical circuits available in which to put temporary spot in conclusion the metro spokesman said there were electrical circuits available in previous years but this year took Over these additional circuits to increase their own stage lighting. If lighting for the audience had been a major problem we presume the association might have drawn it to our around the town despite what this column said about the Pierre Berton show coming Back for a full hour in the fall it s far from positive. There was a Channel 7 Prog ram meeting Friday to consider the matter again and talk at the meeting was that it might be chopped to Only once a week. To carry it every night would Cost the station weekly so Don t be surprised if Pierre is seen less often on the Channel. On the subject of television Al Johnson and his wife Jacquie Are the proud parents of a son born Friday morning. They gave the youngster a name that will sound familiar to television viewers the boy will be called Perry Mason Johnson. No it in t because Al and his wife Are fans of that . Perry comes from the Johnson Side of the family and mrs. Johnson s father is Jack Mason Davidson manager of Jay. Does anyone know where to find a picture called Rock of Ages the gentleman seeking it has tried every possible source. If you can help phone or.
