T-A photo Talent discovered' Residents enjoy art event Invite you to join them for Worship, Fellowship and Services Hensa111 council event 'went down the drain' Drainage problems and solutions were the main topic of dismission at the August meeting of the Hensall council Tuesday night, Roads Superintendent Ernie Davis reported that he has been unable to find the Ideation of the backup in the drains on Queen Street near Norman Jones'. He said there is a definite problem, however, and he guessed that the tiles might be out of shape, "There is no cheap way of fixing the tile either," said Davis, Council was approached by • Jim Taylor, who reported that there is another problem with drainage near Mock's Dairy, also on Queen St, One of the dif- ficulties with discovering the source of the problem is that the exact location of the tiles in that area are not known, The drain runs down the north side of Queen St. but once it reaches Mocks, no- one is quite sure where it goes. Detailed records of the system were never kept. Council requested that Mr. Davis and Mr. Taylor make further investigations into these problems, and attempt to rectify them as soon as possible. Council received an inquiry from Boise Cascade, wondering if they could put a drain in the driveway beside the Presbyterian Church. It was thought that as long as the drain was put right in the middle of the driveway, it shouldn't interfere with any other systems. Reeve Baker said, that he couldn't see why they shouldn't proceed, but if • The second play of the season, "The Paisley Convertible" is playing this week at the Huron Country Playhouse, and Director James Murphy is hoping for a much better attendance than greeted the first play, "Two For The Seesaw." "Certainly opening night was an unqualified success," said Mr. Murphy. "But to be realistic, attendance was not what we had hoped for," "We have to find a way of getting to the people," he said. "We want people just to come out, to have a look around,and to Orange lodge ,p4 plans event The Huron County Royal Black Perceptors are sponsoring the Derry Day celebrations to take place August 12, 1972, Clinton, The ceremony is to corn- memoriate the 284th anniversary of the relief of Londonderry. Perceptories and crystal chapters from all over Western Ontario will be in attendance. Colorful banners, several bands and floats will help to make up the parade which starts at 1:45 p.m. There will be guest • speakers, followed by an exhibition baseball game, and in the evening, dancing in the Clinton Community Centre. Prizes will be offered for the best pipe band, and fife and drum band. There will also be a competition for the best fifers and drummers. A special prize will be awarded for the best decorated business front, and the best decorated home. In addition, an invitation is extended to attend the church service August 6, 1972 at Wesley Willis United Church, Clinton, Rev. Mowatt will be the guest speaker. 4 they broke any tile, or interfered with anything else, they would be responsible for repairs. Clerk Campbell informed the council that the Black Creek drain is going to be cleaned out for a distance of two and one half miles, at a total cost of $20423. Because Hensall drains into Black Creek, the village's. share of these expenses have been assessed at $360, The clerk was instructed to prepare a by-law with regards to the payment of this cost, Another problem under con- sideration was that of the catch- basin in front of Wareing's Freeze King. The basin is sitting above the road, and is a potential hazard to drivers, if they are not careful. Reeve Baker noted, however, that the whole corner in front of Wareings was used as a driveway, and that there should be no problem in avoiding the catch-basin, He said that if that part of the area was to be used as a driveway, it was up to Mr. Wareing to clearly indicate it, and to put some kind of marker up near the catch-basin. "I don't see how we can alter it anyway," said Mr. Davis. Council was also informed that some complaints had been received about the catch-basin in front of the Gerbo Corp. on Wellington Street. The basin is low and there is a bump there. Mr. Davis reported that the problem could be solved by raising the catch-basin, but then it would not be as effective. He said he would have a look at it. realize that it is a very relaxed, informal and friendly place." In addition to the roster of six plays themselves, the summer theatre company are going to a great deal of effort to achieve this end. They have scheduled children's theatre for August 12, and the cast will produce "Sleeping Beauty." For three weeks following the children's play, the company has planned special dramatics classes for children between the ages of 5 or 6 and 9. These will be two-hour sessions at only $1 per lesson, August 10, there will be a Board of Trustees dinner and party at the Oakwood Inn, and then August 16, there will be a grand official opening of the Playhouse. "Dial M for Murder" is scheduled for that week, and according to Mr. Murphy, they have an all-star cast lined up for the play, "We are going to invite loads of people, and we hope this will attract others to come out to see just what this place is all about," said Mr. Murphy. "But we need people long before then." He stressed that there is no need to get dressed up; that dress at the theatre has been very casual. There are also free art exhibits featuring local artists, picnic and refreshment areas at the Playhouse, and people may stroll around and sit on the spacious lawns. Mr. Murphy predicted that there would be a better at- tendance during the run of "The Paisley Convertible." It is a wacky comedy dealing with a young intern •and his wife's ob- session to find out all about his pre-martial past. Things get really hilarious when her former roommate shows up and happens to be named Ralph. "I don't think actors are very easily discouraged,"said Mur- phy, "and this play promises to be extremely entertaining." Mr. Davis was instructed to Make three minor sidewalk repairs — one on King Street in front of Bonthron's Funeral Home, one on the inside of the sidwalk at Cosy Corners, and one at Mrs. Bonthron's corner on Main Street, Other questions under con- sideration at the meeting were with regards to the fire at the Borkley restaurant in Exeter. It was decided that under the Mutual Aid agreement, Hensel' would pay the costs incurred when they responded to the fire alarm. Clerk Campbell said they should pay it anyway. "Exeter would come up and give us a hand if we needed it," he said. Council received a request for financial aid from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario for costs acquired in their continuing fight against rising Bell Canada costs. Council agreed to send the requested aid of three-quarters of a cent per capita, amounting to a total cost of $7.15, Three building permits were received and approved by Council: one from Glenn Har- burn, to move his trailer; one from Philip Ward to put up a tool shed and one from Ken Clarke to put siding on his house. About 200 people took ad- vantage of the government sponsored "Art Trek" in Huron Park and Exeter last Thursday and Friday. The program in this area was under the auspices of the Opportunities For Youth program, and the two artists in charge were Dave Buller and Rick Green. The purpose of Art Trek is to give the people in small com- munities an opportunity to at- tempt various types of arts and crafts, including everything from painting with acrylics and pastels to batiking and clay modeling. Dave and Rick have travelled to about six Ontario communities thus far with Art Trek, and with only one exception were received very well. They provided all the materials and demonstrated many dif- ferent arts and crafts to both children and adults, and all who participated seemed to enjoy the experience. "Do we have to go home so Soon?" asked Kathy Van Rom- paey, Exeter, when she attended Friday afternoon. And several of the adults who first attended Thursday night, came hack Friday, either to finish what they had started, or to try something different. Report was misleading The Times-Advocate regrets that some misleading details were contained in last week's account of a court case involving a break and enter charge against Kenneth John Lee, Exeter. Our report stated the youth had entered Middleton's Drug Store through a window in a rear door and later jumped out of the store. Evidence given by Constable John Cairnswas that the accused had partially entered through the window and then jumped back out again, He did not physcially set foot inside the building. Under the Criminal Code, entry is considered to be made even if only a hand passes through a window or door that has been broken or forced. Rev. Glen Wright of Exeter United Church has been selected as one of three delegates from the Huron Presbytery to attend the 25th biennial meeting of the United Church of Canada in Saskatoon, August 14 to 22, About 450 delegates have been chosen from approximately a million members to attend the conference. Rev. Wright. will be part of the 40-Member London Conference. These 40 delegates were chosen out of 480 eligible members of the London Con- ference, There will be 20 ordained and 20 lay members. The Council will consider five major areas of concern: Canadianism, as opposed to "nationalism; liberation; en- vironment, future society; and the Church's role in all of these called "Eruption to Hope." Rev. Wright explained that "Canadianism" refers to the quality of life in Canada, peculiar to Canadians, as opposed to the More political orientation of "nationalism," "I hadn't planned to come back this afternoon," said Mrs. Helen Jermyn, Exeter, "but I really wanted to see this thing finished." She was doing a painting in acrylics, All agreed that Rick and Dave were very helpful and en- couraging. Both are ac- complished artists in their own right. Dave is entering his fourth year at the Ontario College of Art, and Rick is a member of the Sculpture Society of Canada. There are only 250 members across the country. As far as Exeter and Huron Park go, Rick and Dave classed it as one of the best areas they have visited. "We really enjoyed Exeter," said Rick. "For one thing the kids are fairly quiet," "Some of these kids are really talented too," said Dave. In fact, at the end of the summer, Art Trek is going to sponsor a showing of some of the best work which has been done over the summer, From this area they took a painting done by Bobby Desch and batik done by Mrs. Nancy Read, Toronto, who is holidaying at her cottage in Grand Bend. The London Conference will be playing an important role in the convention, because they hope to present what may be a rather controversial 'memorial' or petition. They are going to propose that the United Church discontinue talks of union with the Anglican Church of Canada, until the latter has re-examined the position of the United Church ministry. A petition of union is to be presented in February of 1973, explained Rev. Wright, and it is hoped that by that time, a better understanding of the precise relationship between the two churches can be reached. The petition to be presented by the London Conference, came about as a result of a similar statement made by the Anglican Huron Diocese, Personally, Rev. Wright doesn't think their petition will pass the Council. Nevertheless, he said, the London Conference can see no future in union until positions are more clearly Stated, NDP event aids coffers At a fund raising supper and auction Wednesday evening NDP Middlesex candidate, Ray Funk assured over 100 party members and friends that the NDP is "the only party willing and able to put a constructive policy before the people." He feels that the choice between Liberals and Tories is "a choice between arrogant mediocrity and humble mediocrity." The scene of the NDP's 'Mid- summer Madness,' and annual event to raise election funds, was at Bill and Pat Chefurka's home near Komoka, With the pancake supper came home-made maple syrup and pies. Mr. Funk and campaign manager, Pat Chefurka, participated in a vigorous log-sawing contest, challenging all corners. The auction sale, with auctioneer Bill Elliot of Parkhill, boasted everything from fresh home- baked bread to modern paintings. Mr. Funk who operates a group home for boys, Erwood 1. near Exeter, criticized the inadequacy of the Family Allowances plan which is totally unrealistic when compared to today's rising costs of living. His opinion of the new budget by John Turner is that it "left the corporate elite rubbing their hands in delight." The Tories would not improve on the matter but would have done as much and more for 'big business.' • In the areaof agriculture he sees the Farm Credit Act as being "designed to drive farmers to bankruptcy even faster," He says it "suggests farmers should borrow even more" and that the Tories have confirmed their belief in agribusiness by "nominating an agribusiness stalwart in Middlesex." Dashwood native attends seminar Pastor Arthur L. Racier, for- merly of Dashwood and now of the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Calgary, recently participated in a special marriage and family counseling seminar conducted by the Lutheran Church, Edmonton. He was one of 25 Lutheran clergymen invited to take part in the two-part seminar. The program is designed to give the pastors an exposure to the dynamics of human behavior and some training in the skills and techniques of counseling to equip him to be more effective with people having marriage and family problems. Two accents of the program are the strengthening of the pastor's own family relationship and to facilitate his outreach into the community. For this reason, the pastor's wives also attended some of the sessions. Pastor Rader summed up his experience this way: was a time of intense growth, both personally and in terms of skills to help others with their in- dividual problems, I wish that everyone could enjoy this type of experience to help enrich his own life."
