It made her happy to think that persons with talent, initiative and foresight, through hard work, were bringing culture back tp the district in one of the abandoned one-roomed schools. So, on the first fine warm day, Carl took her rambling out to Londesboro where she met Miss Anne ' Fairserviice, ’daughter of Mrs, M, and the late Robert Fairservice. She took them to Country Studio, for merly Union School 11 Morris and. Hullett, ^lightly south and 216 miles east of Bly th where/the centen nial flag, was flying at top mast. . x This was where Miss Claire Taylor, Anne’s part ner in the venture got her primary school education. Anne attended SS 11, Hullett. Both girls were stu dents of Clinton Collegiate Institute, though not at the same time. \ Anne has a degree in Fine Art from Wayne State University where she studied painting, • pottery and interior design. She was at ^Eaton’s College Street store, Toronto, as a decorating consultant until a little over a year ago when she decided -to free lance. She taught adults and different children’s groups, and is currently teaching a class in Goderich one day a week. Claire is a musician and teacher, being a gradu ate of Stratford Teachers College., She taught school in Blyth for three years and then went to Frobisher Bay in the Arctic with the Department of Health. 'After this tour of service, she joined a work camp under the World Council of Churches, spending most of the time in Kenya. She was also in the Phillipines, Thialand and spent two months in Hong Kong. After her return to Canada, Claire spent a year at Weston Sanitarium where she worked with Eskimo children, and tar the past two years has been teaching at Regent Park School. Resent Park is a re-develop ment of a, former ‘.‘Cabbage Town” area in Toronto/ It was a chance meeting on the train when Claire was returning from Africa/which resulted in their .close association. Anne had an apartment in Toronto and offered to Share it with Claire. Union School 11, Morris and Hullett, was sold at auction last October, Claire and Anne decided to buy it and open a studio. The bidding had almost stopped at $400 when a stranger appeared and asked that the bidding be halted until he looked over the building. As a result, the girls paid about $1,000 for this white brick school, sitting high on a stone foundation on a comer lot on the border of (Morris and Hullett. It stands out in stark relief as one approaches it on High way 25. i Nothing was done about it until this spring when Anne’s brother David came from Montreal and Claire’s brother Boyd donated an old barn on his’ farm. They used the natural weathered hemlock boards to cover the blackboard space, and with the timbers a deck was built across the front of the school which will eventually have a sit-down railing of the natural wood. Miss Fairservice emphasized that this project was a strictly do-it-yourself affair with volunteer help from relatives and friends in their weekend work days. The only items of labour for Which they had paid were the plumbing and the building of a kiln in the base ment. They (borrowed scaffolding and when Miss Taylor ‘ was home weekends, the young ladies painted the interior white — leaving only the natural wood. They have yet to scrub the maple floor before oiling it. For the formal opening of Country Studio, three ' festivities have been planned — June 16, 17 and 18. Jack McLaren of Benmiller will be master of ceremonies and A. J. Casson, a member of the Group of Seven, Toronto, will officiate at the opening on Friday evening, June 16. A concert by the 21-voice boys choir of St. Bartholomew’s Church, Toronto, will be followed by a reception for those in attend ance. (The boys have been trained by Walter Barnes and all attend Regent Park School. They have won a trip to Expo and have earned most of the cost, $3,000, by concerts. They will camp at the home of Claire’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Taylor, RR 3, Walton, and sang in St. George’s Church, Goderich, on Saturday evening, June 17). Saturday evening, June 17, the program will be basically the same at Country Studio with a change of entertainment. Gail Knochell, a mezzo soprano from Louisville, Kentucky, will present a program of Old English and American songs. Miss Knochell took her A.R.C.T. ex amination last week. While studying in Toronto she was the Amateur Rose Bowl winner last year, and won the Lady Eaton scholarship at the Kiwanis Festi val (this year. Mary Rezza will be her accompanist, and it is just possible that a Mend in Toronto who has built an harpsichord may loan it for this occasion. Tickets are being sold for these concerts. As the building only seats about 75 persons, Lucy predicts that they will be at a premium. ' Oh Sunday afternoon, June 19, there will be Open House at which 'refreshments will be served. The enterprising promoters of Country Studio hope to have a reasonably good exhibition of art. Classes will commence July 1 and close Septem ber 3. Glancing at the schedule, Lucy was amazed at the versatility of courses offered for children and adults. Although painting and pottery-making will probably be most 'popular subjects, the children's workshop for pupils under 13, in which art, music and drama will be co-ordinated, caught Lucy’s eye; also the open house on Friday evening Which leaves scope for Various entertainment. Special classes in Conversational French and Japanese flower arrang ing will probably appeal to many. After she’d heard the story of “tales within tales/’ Lucy felt like giving “Three cheers and a Tiger!” It just shows what can be done for a community with the “Little Red School.” This one was built in 1901. IQP7 II IOQ7 by JOHN W, FISHERlOP/ U IpU/ CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER and Light”, the drama of Cana da’s early days, her triumphs and failures, her great men > and their great deeds, will come vividly to life, .As.

The spectacle moves its audi ence through great events in history: the union of the two Canadas; Confederation cele brations of July 1, 1867; occas ions when we hear the oratory of Macdonald and Cartier; the joining of more provinces .and the territories; the world wars; the burning of the Parliament Buildings in 1916; the high’ points' in the careers of prime ministers; and the birth of our national flag. As the spectacle comes to a finale, lights turn to full bril liance, illuminating the Hill, Parliament Buildings, Nepean Point and the Ri clcau Canal. The spectacular finale symbol izes the essence of 100 years in Confederation, facing the new century with Jaith • and confi dence. The Son ’et Lumiere tech nique was originated1 in the1 Chateau Chiambord in France and has been employed in ath- er places of historlic importance in France, Greece, Egypt, Great Britain and Spain. It also has been employed at Dundurn Castle, Hamilton, and at the If Ottawa 'happens to be on the route of your Centennial trip this year, be sure to see Son pt .Luniiere, a nightly show from May to. October 15, Son et Lumiere, which means sound and light, is a special Centennial spectacle -for the national capital, staged on Par liament Hill. Ouitdboi' amphi theatre seating has been con- structed 'ait Nepean Point, on the Ottawa River, offering a spectacular night view of the Parliament Buildings which constitute the stage for Son et Lumiere. There are no actors, no con structed stage, no film. It’s all done by the clever ttse of spot lights, filters and ‘pre-recorded sound. Recreiaition of the 1916 fire on Parliament Hill, for ex ample, produces 'the smoke and and flames, the cr&cMng of timbers, the sound oif the water hoses and firemen’s voices, all through the ingenious mix of sound on ^even-track recording rapes and color filters on spot lights. The Hill hias the starring rode because the spectacle is a drama of Canadian history and because The Hill was the sym bolic stage for Confederation's official beginning In 1867. z In die Sion et Lumiere audi ence at Nepean Point you will be transported through time, your intellectual and emotion al responses controlled, by the strength and' variety of light and the .impact and quality of sound, including music and the voices of great and lengend'ary persons.
