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 Goderich, Mr, and Mrs. Gerald Lydiatt of Ingersoll, Jeri-Joanne, Karyn, Derlyk were visitors at the same home on Monday. .

"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).
