Despite a lait minute request
from Pendulum Players, a young
peoples theatrical group of Gode-
rich, asking County Council to
reconsider its denial of facilities
at .the former Huron County Jail
to .the group council upheld a
recommendation from Property'
Committee on Friday refusing
use of the premises.
In a brief filed with the coun-
cil by Peadulum Players it was
explained that the group is an
organization formed of local high
school and university students,
"united in a single aim of pre-
senting gratis theatre to the resi-
dents of and visitors ` to
Goderich."
Last year the grout) was
granted use of• the former jail
facilities.
"The jail provides all the
necessary ingredients for the
group to be a success,;; the
brief said. "It provides a home
for the group, a unique setting
to help attract visitors and the
best acoustics of any place in
Goderich."
"We realize," the brief went
on, "that the main objection to
use of the ,jail is the question
.of safety around the construction
of the assessment office
extension. There is an alter-
native way of entering the court
yard other than the main 'yard
gate; that is, by 'way of the front

entrance."
"The executive of Pendulum
Players are willing to pay out
of their own pockets if necessary
two people to supervise the area
of construction at any time the
public is, present."
Property Committee •Chair-
man, Harold Lobb said however
that his committee recommended
to Council that the earlier de-
cision be stuck with.
"This still might conflict with
the building program," he said.
He said if the public were
to use the front entrance too
many changes would have to be
made in the jail and, this would
be "too expensive for the
county."
Lobb said he realized that
Pendulum Players was, probably
a "good thing for the county but.
I see no way for this year." .
Pendulum Players explained
they would propose performanbes
On Tuesday's and Saturdays 'with
practice sessions taking up
another three nights of the week.
The only alternative now open
to, Pendulum Players would be
to make use of the Goderich
bandshell in Harbor Park but,
they explain this presents many
difficulties and might not be
feasible.
At Harbor park there are no
facilities fot storing props and
costumes and.moving all the
equiprnent each day would make'
the project ,,nearly impossible.
In other jail news the propertY
committee explained that the
matter of the future of the former
County jail was still under in-
vestigation in Conjunction with the
Goderich. Town Council, and the
Huron County Branch of the
Architectural Conservancy of
Ontario (formerly Save the. Jail
Society).
In his report, Mr. Lobb
announced that the matter of the
jail was on the agenda of the
Historic Sites and Monuments
Board of Canada for the autumn
Meeting.
