These stars really reached the top in the annual production of the Blyth Festival’s Young Company held Thursday and Friday last week.

The “Stick People” inhabitants of the land dealt with in the play, sneak over the hill.

The amendments, passed at council’s August 12 meeting jojeopie around 523-4792 Allan and Suzanne Thompson and family spent the weekend with her sister in Jackson, Michigan where they attended the wedding of their father, Mr. Robert Fuller of Forest to Miss Dorene Wielenga of Jackson.

Mrs. Bernice McClinchey and Mrs. Audrey Walsh visited with Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Walsh at their cottage at Skidiway Lake in Northern Michigan, Prescott. Visitors during the week with Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Rinn were Mr. and Mrs. John Cardwell of Strat­ ford, Mr. and Mrs. Lome Jamieson of Wingham and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hanna of Belgrave. Rev. and Mrs. Donald Snell of Drayton Valley, Alberta visited with Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Snell last Tuesday. How quickly the summer is fading can be seen in the fact that basically changes only the a- mounts of building permits and the types of construction that require permits. Council adopted the amend­ ments after meeting with building inspector Eugene McAdam who this is the final week of production for the plays in the main repertory season of the Blyth Festival. With the final performances this week­ end, many now-familiar faces around main street will disappear, at least until next spring. The Festival still has nearly a month to run, however with its final produc­ tion of Cake Walk which opens next Tuesday. Attendance so far rates th is as one of the be st seasons in history, says Brenda Doner, Gen­ eral Manager. Keith and Jill Roulston and family were in Ottawa on the weekendfor the marriage of his nephew Mark Haldenby, formerly of Lucknow to Margo Zimmerling of Ottawa. They also did a little sightseeing while there. This is the 25th edition of the Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion in Blyth and as part of the celebrations, The Citizen will issue a special edition. We’re looking for pictures both from the Thresher Reunion itself or from the pioneer years of harvesting. We will copy your photo and return it to you. We can make useof either black and white or colour photographs but we would ask that they be in focus. We’d also be delighted to talk to people who have memories from the early years of the Reunion or memories of harvest bees or trips west on harvest excursions. Neighbours of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Charter of RR 3, Blyth surprised the couple with a party at the Charter’s fish farm near Teeswater on Sunday afternoon.

Council had been con­ cerned earlier that the by-law still contains reference to a fee for inspecting the set-up of a mobile home. The village has not allowed mobile homes in the village for many years. Council was worried this opened the door to mobile homes being set up Mr. McAdam said that the official plan of the village super- ceded the building by-law and since the official plan makes no provision for mobile homes unless a mobile home park is established, council doesn’t have to worry. The amendments say that no building permit is required for roofing, eavestroughing or re­ placement of windows. No permit is required for alterations of less than $1,500 in value unless a structural change is involved.
