Many in cast Friday and Saturday evenings of this week, several students of South Huron District High School will undertake the ambitious production of the play 'Hair'. Written by two young authors, Gerome Ragni and James Rado, 'Hair' won success on Broadway as a new type of theatre which broke from the traditional style of drama to form a new style of Space-Pak International Limited, manufacturer of factory-engineered homes at Centralia's Industrial Park went into receivership, Wednesday. A few months ago, unsecured creditors, some from this area had given Space-Pak time to try and bail out of financial troubles. A story in Saturday's London Free Press said a Toronto company would take over the Space-Pak plant which covered 44,000 square feet of a converted hangar at the former air force base. Jack Malone, manager of Centralia's Industrial Park when contacted this week by the T-A said he didn't know anything about the Toronto firm taking over. "All I know is that there is a meeting of Space-Pak creditors in Toronto, March 18," added Malone. Employment increases Employment at Huron Industrial Park, Centralia, has moved to a record level of 647 since the first of the year, the Honourable Charles MacNaughton revealed today. Total employment at the beginning of February showed an increase of more than 40 over the figure at the end of 1970. "I am gratified by the steady growth in jobs at the industrial park," said the Huron MPP. "The latest figures are particularly encouraging in view of unemployment problems in other areas." Library budget shows increase Increased wages has been blamed for the greatest increase in the Huron County Library budget in 1971, from $157,781 in 1970 to $171,405 this year. The province contributes a fixed $70,900 to the budget; Huron County ratepayers make up $93,705; schools will contribute $4,000; fines will realize another $2,400; and miscellaneous accounts for $400. Circulation is up but the budget for purchasing books remains unchanged. The committee will spend $65,000 for this purpose.

The increase results from modest and continuing expansion by several firms in the provincial complex, operated by the Ontario Development Corporation. These include Daymond Co. Ltd., Dunlop Canada Ltd., Hall Lamp Co. of Canada Ltd. and Hughes Boat Works Limited. Mr. MacNaughton said he expected the employment level to continue to increase, despite difficulties that may be experienced by some tenants in the park. The industrial complex was created out of the former CFB Centralia, which the province purchased from the federal government on August 1, 1967. The park also houses the Centralia School of Agricultural Technology and a veterinary services laboratory for the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. Of the 362 dwelling units in the residential portion of the park, 291 are now occupied. This is an increase of about 40 from the number of rentals one year ago.

Bob Read, Paul Armstrong and Dave Keating have set up a lighting system in the auditorium for the presentation. `Hair' opens with a slow motion scene in which the members of the tribe crawl up towards the stage from the audience in response to an electronic cry. All head for the stage with a deliberate ritual gait of priests and the tread of some ancient forgotten tribe. The cast then sings of their dreams for a better world in the song `Aquarius'. It includes other songs which satirize p air pollution; the overuse of signs and billboards; war and dying institutions. The professional production of 'Hair' roused the ire of many persons who objected to the final scene of the play in which some of the" actors appeared nude. The SHDHS version does not include this "scene. Young people people take service The Contemporarys, a group of over 40 youngsters from Park Street United Church, Sarnia, showed the congregation of Exeter United Church that their religion is far from a dull and lifeless thing.

A band, composed of guitars, accordions and drums was backed by a full chorus of young people who presented contemporary music like Are You Running With Me Jesus, Seek and Ye Shall Find, and God is Not Dead. For the offertory hymn they sang God Loves a Cheerful Giver. The congregation joined them in several spirited hymns concluding the service with This Land Us Your Land. The young people arrived in Exeter Saturday afternoon and were billeted in homes of the congregation. Saturday evening the local YP's entertained the visiting group at a coffee party and hootenanny.

The three men were in Exeter on three occasions during the latter part of February, but on each occasion they were stopped by members of the local police department and advised to move on. Chief Day told council this week that the three men were known safe-breakers who were "up to no good". His report for the past month showed an increase in traffic accidents, due primarily to driving conditions made treacherous by weather. There were 15 accidents with damage of $7,100. Two persons were injured. However, during the month the police received no complaints regarding snowmobile operators and had no occasion to issue warnings to drivers of the machines. Other statistics in the report were as follows: Seven charges under the Highway Traffic Act, 10 drivers warned, two charged under the Liquor Control Act, 10 parking tickets issued, four places of business found insecure.

Mr. MacNaughton, who held the position as Treasurer since 1966, will be returning to an old H b, He was Minister of ighways from 1962 until being appointed to the treasury position. "I should like to express my special appreciation to my friend, the Hon. Charles MacNaughton, who has served with such great distinction as Treasurer of Ontario and Minister of Economics," Premier Davis stated in making the cabinet announcements. "On behalf of the people of Ontario, I thank him for his selfless service in a most demanding portfolio." Mr. Davis said he was asking the Huron MPP to accept the substantial and dual responsibilities of two major portfolios "so that we can achieve greater co-ordination of the many transportation problems faced by our larger municipalities and the remote communities."

The Huron MPP .anted as chairman of the Davis campaign in the recent leadership .contest. The area's other cabinet minister, the Hon. William A, Stewart, Middlesex North, retains his position as Minister of Agriculture. Noting that Mr. Stewart is held in high esteem by the farmi ng community and respected .alike by urban dwellers, Premier Davis said "his understanding of the difficulties faced by the agriculture industry and the rural Communities is an important asset to the EXecutive". County council — Continue from front page County raised $726,000 locally but according to engineer Jim Britnell, less money will be required in 1971 from the taxpayers on a mill rate basis than in 1970. Maintenance for roads and bridges will account for $582,000 of the total budget; road construction, $662,000; bridge construction, $250,000; and bank interest and committee pay (100 percent of county funds) $70,000. Britnell said he had no definite figures on the cost of snow ploughing for this year although it is know that "we are in the midst of the highest snow ploughing costs in our history". "If March comes in like a lamb I guess we'd all better look out," observed Britnell who was hinting that a severe snow storm in March could play havoc with road department budgets. Council also approved adding to the county road system .06 mile approaches to the new Benmiller Bridge and deleting from the county road system .13 mile length of the approaches to the old Benmiller Bridge. These approaches will revert to the Township of Colborne. Separate board reviews policies At the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board meeting in Seaforth Monday, Trustee Michael Connolly, RR 3 Kippen, reviewed insurance coverage for the board for 1971.

Marie School at St. Joseph. The grant was a result of a Federal-Provincial agreement. The Department has given notification that there will be no grant in 1971; however this will be replaced by a weighting factor of the pupils receiving instruction in French in 1971. Mr. Vintar stated there appears to be no guarantee that this weighting factor will be continued in subsequent years. Edward F. Rooney, Stratford, special education consultant with the board provided an overview of special education services within the two counties. Mr. Rooney dealt with the classification of learning disorders such as intellectual: sensory — which includes deaf, hard of hearing, blind and partially sighted students; physical; behavourial — which includes emotionally disturbed; social; multiple handicapped and primary learning problems.
