BY MILiMNA ERICKSON Hundreds of people lined up in the rain to await the opening of the doors for the Pioneer Park Annual Rummage Sale held last Friday evening in the arena. A huge birthday cake depicting 25 years of Pioneer Park Associations was on display, flanked by 400 colourfully iced cupcakes, a project of three young ladies, Kate Williams, Cathie and Ainslie Willock, Tables laden with potted plants, dishes, toys, shoes, skates, books, millinery and parasols were attractively displayed, along with • quilts, linens, draperies and racks of men's, women'sand children's clothing. Stoves, screen doors and laundry tubs were all sold for a minimal fee. A clown was especially busy blowing up balloons for the younger set (although most were broken before the evening was over). Mrs. Gordon Kurtz and 'Mrs, John R. Cook who convened the sale this year termed it a tremendous success and said a vote of thanks was due all those who gave donations and contributed time and effortto help make it such a success. Special thanks was also given to K-Mart of London and local merchants and residents. Monies realized from this annual sale go towards the upkeep of Pioneer Park, the grass cutting, the shrubbery and tree- trimming and the repairing of benches, etc. This park, open to the public, is very This park, open to the public, is very well maintained and is a spot where many people gather each evening to watch the sunset out over Lake Huron or sit in the shade in the afternoon and just relax, Many free activities are planned for this summer for this, their 25th anniversary celebrations. xxx The Lambton Youth Theatre, a Sarnia-based group of high school, college and university theatre arts students is once again operating under a grant from the federal government's Opportunities for Youth programme and is performing in Pioneer Park, Bayfield on' Sunday, July 43 at fi p,m, The company was formed to tour Western Ontario on summer weekends, performing plays free of charge wherever entertainment was welcome. In 1971, the Lambton Youth Theatre provided excellence in live open-theatre-in-the-round performing .a play "Che" in urban areas and towns suchas Bayfield, Zurich and Goderich as well as provincialparks, fairs, festivals and many towns and cities, The group's performance in Pioneer Park is a showcase of dramatic entertainment entitled' "'llexastylos" and is being presented in collage form which will appeal to any audience. The settings, costumes, properties and masks used in "Hexastylos" have been designed and executed by the nine members of the group. By performing outdoors on scaffolds in the three quarter round, the company is challenged to portray six dramatic styles (tragedy, comedy, realism, absurdity, fantasy, and free form) which should have something of interest for everyone regardless of age. As varied as their backgrounds and interests may be, they all share common bonds of friendship, talent, love and enthusiasm for their ambitious programme. xxx At the meeting of the Bayfield Agricultural Society held on Thursday, plans for the fair on Sept. 1 and 2 were finalized, with special stress given to adequate advertising.

The fair board plans to return some of the tables used from Clan Gregor Square by the Saturday evening following the fair. It is also plannieg to have the arena ready for roller skating for the Sunday_evening. Every year at the Pioneer Park Rummage Sale someone remarks on the question as to whether articles bought one year are ever donated back another year, Kim Fellows of Dearborn, Michigan and a recent graduate of the University of Western Ontario, can tell you that they most assuredly do. Kim found (and purchased) a pink and white gingham pyjama bag she had owned as a wee girl, and had donated to the sale a number of years ago. xxx The Coffee House being held in the basement of Knox Presbyterian Church under the capable leadership of the student minister Mr. Lloyd Clifton and youth co-ordinator Mr. Doug Allen is proving to be very worth while.
