The chamber of commerce was also asked if they would help organize businesses on Main Street to prepare for the sewer installations. Chamber members will approach Main Street businessmen to determine whether they want to tender the work out to one qualified plumber, or have each in- dividual look after his own hook-ups. Chamber PreSident Nick Carter agreed to have the chamber co-operate with the sewer -committee. Doug Parker of DeLeuw Cather Ltd. attended the meeting to present his company's plans for a traffic and parking survey to be done in Grand Bend. Councillors felt that it was too late to do the survey this summer, since they had missed the July 1 weekend, Mary's Musings Continued from page lA have been getting. The rubber soles had worn through several layers, and the toes had gaping holes, The laces had been replaced several times, but finally I tired of buying new laces, and an intricate system of knots and strings held them on my feet. Then one day I wore them while digging potatoes on dry bog land. If you don't understand what bog is like when it's dry, think of the finest talcum powder you've ever seen, and.picture that in black. The fine, black dust has a tendency to sink into every crack it can find. My worn sneakers absorbed the black dust and everytime I wore them after that my feet turned out black, no matter what colour my socks were, The black bog spelled the death of my sneakers, but I still wasn't considering parting with them. They were the height of rot- tenness, combining gym activities, everyday wear and tear, and farming. But my tidy parents did away with them, and my present sneakers although fairly worn, are by no means rotten. Nor do they have any interesting stories to tell. Sorry, Sports Den, but I don't have a prize winning entry for you. Library closed for two weeks By MRS.

Green said he was sorry Parker wasted his time attending the meeting, A request was received from Southcott Pines for a traffic light at the corner of Lake Road and Highway 21. Reeve Sharen said that they had tried to get a traffic light there a few years ago, but had only succeeded in getting a warning flasher.

Miss Cindy Prest, Scar-. borough spent ,a few days last week with her parents Mr. and Mrs. George Prest. Bill Prest and Max Shepherd spent the week end at Niagara Falls. A solid performahce of Patrick Henry's Angel Street is being presented at Huron County Playhouse this week. Even though the audience knows "whodunit" almost from-the very beginning, the, playhouse company is able to pack suspense into the Victorian-type thriller.. The play first appeared as Gaslight in 1983 and should have retained this name, since the glowing of the gas lights plays an important role in the unravelling of the mystery. In fact, the time spent by the actors and actresses turning the gas lights up and down alxost makes the play tedious in Darts. However, this is a very minor flaw in the production, and the audience can excuse the time spent adjusting lights when they realize the importance of them. The set is good giving the audience a view of a drawing room in 1880 Victorian brie- azbrac and pictures clutter the walls. The costumes are well done. Bella's long Victorian style gown complete with train swishes about as she walks. Suspense is added when Mr. Manningham can't decide which cravat to wear and keeps returning to the closet where Rough is hiding. Much is made of Rough working only in his shirtSleeves, and of course his bowler hat plays an important role in the play. Irena Mayeska gives an excellent performance of Bella. Ms, Mayeska's eyes and movements show the fear that Bella must feel as her husband systemically tries to drive her insane. Ms. Mayeska also does a good jpb of portraying Bella's mood changes as she jumps from the ecstasy of going to the theatre, to the horror of being accused of yet another mad caper. Paul Craig, as her diabolical husband handles this role as it should be. Craig appears as cold and calculating, and even his attempts at warmth ;seem false. John Codner as Inspector Rough is the audiences favorite.and comes across as recreational facilities they would like to see in Grand Bend. . truly likeable, Rough sup- plies the comic relief in the thriller, and the scene where Rough persuades B411a to drink scotch whiskey for medicinal purposes brings many laughs, Many of Rough's lines are funny in themselves: he tells Bella that her husband is not loyal to her by saying "You're not the only piece of ivy on the garden wall," In another scene Rough leaves his hat on the table while hiding from Mr. Manningham in the closet, You'd almost expect to hear someone shout to him from the audience that his hat's on the table as the tension mounts. At the last minute he remembers and whisks his hat out 'of sight. Codner plays the role of Rough in fine form, as anyone who read the paragraph in the playhouse program describing -his background might imagine. Detective or police roles have been favourites of Codner's The parts of the servants Nancy and Elizabeth, though minor, are played very well by Joyce Seeley and Jenny Turner. Ms. Seeley also adds comedy to the play as she tempts Mr. Manningham with warm kisses and squeals of delight. Two members of the playhouse's young company, Philip Street and Mark Flear have walk-on appearances as English bobbies. The action of the play is packed into one afternoon and evening and the ending of the play seems weak, However, the problem is more that of a writer looking for a way to wrap things up, rather than this production. Director Lynne Gorman gives a good interpretation of a play that has a little of everything-mystery, sus- pense, and even comedy. Congratulations to Doug and Anti Russell, on the birth of a baby girl last Wed- nesday, Jim and Linda Dietrich spent the week end in Cayuga, at the annual tractor pulls.

Page 4A Times-Advocate, July 18, 1979 Vastness of Canada subject at meeting through this before," Crawford added. Sharen said that it was the land company who had opposed the traffic light previously, not the residents who were requesting it now. It was decided that the request for the stop light would be put off until the traffic and parking survey would be done. Council received a letter from the Grand Bend Medical Centre requesting a copy of a survey done of housing for senior citizens. Sharen said that the response to the survey was so low that nothing was done with the results. Sharon speculated that the medical centre was considering building senior citizens apartments in the area behind their present building. The medical centre also made inquiries about sewer installations. The council voted to send $100 to Dover Township in response to a request from the Flood Relief fund. No decision was reached about sending money to a Flood Relief fund in Sudbury. "I hope they remember if we ever have a disaster. our- selves," Reeve Sharen said. In other business, council voted to pay July accounts payable in the amount of $34,850.84. They also responded to a survey sent out asking them what
