After suffering two heart attacks in 1970, he went back to studying art during his recuperation period. He studied under an artist named Chalf, , who he describes as a "fine" artist - meaning that he does fine artwork. During that time he also studied under Montreal Dear editor: Our grade eight class of Usborne Centralia school went to Quebec from May 20- 23, along with two of our teachers Mr. Mount, Mrs. Haugh and Mr. Haugh the assistant editor of The Times-Advocate, Mr. Haugh was a super person to have along; he helped supervise and was forever cracking "jokes". We were very fortunate since Mr. Haugh took several pictures of us, we feel this will help future grade eight classes to go on this trip. On behalf of the grade eight class we would like to thank Mr. Haugh for his time- and patience on our four-day excursion to Quebec and Montreal. The grade 8 class of Usborne Central School Ed Note: We were glad he was with you. It gave us four days of rest from his "jokes" lake shore artist Noel Hollier, After several heart attacks he retired in 1975 and moved to Grand Cove. "Our jobs were demanding, we were stupid. We worked hard," he says about his positions with big businesses. Since his retirement, Lambert has renewed his love of painting. Nature scenes are his favourite. He occasionally does still Fifes, but never portraits. He works mostly with oils - sometimes he uses a pallet knife rather than a brush to apply the paint to the can- vas. His scenes of trees and forests done with a pallet knife are reminiscent of works by the group of seven. He seems to enjoy the Grand Bend area and often goes to the Pinery Park to get subjects for his work. Several paintings show scenes of Lake Huron and trees in the Pinery. Two years ago, he exhibited his work at Huron Country Playhouse. He donated one of his pain in- tings to the playhouse, and it was raffled off to raise money. Of the 26 paintings he exhibited at the playhouse he sold 18. At present some of his works are on loan to the Toronto Dominion bank and are hanging on their walls. As well as working with oils, Lambert does some pencil sketching, pen and ink drawings, and pastals. He adds that he is seriously thinking of doing some water colours. "I've purchased some books and I'll study that if I stay healthy," he says. Since coming to Grand Bend he has been able to pass along some of his education in art. Lambert has been teaching art to a group of people interested in painting who call themselves the Grand Bend Art Association. They met on Wednesday evenings at the village hall during the winter, and they hope to continue meeting in a classroom at the public school until school is out for the summer. There are 15 members in the association. Lambert criticizes their work for them, and helps them with ideas to improve their paintings. When he is painting a scene, Lambert prefers to set up his easel outdoors. Unfortunately, poor health does not allow him to sit outdoors in cold weather. He will then sketch the scene and come back to the small room added on to the back of their home which he calls his studio. Sometimes he will photograph the scene on colour slides. But he won't project the picture on a large screen to paint it. He prefers to look at it only in a small hand viewer. "That way I get the light and atmosphere I want," Lambert explains. Lambert describes himself as a fast painter, but he doesn't like to be asked how long it takes to do a painting because each one is dif- ferent. He says he would sit outdoors for two to three hours to paint a 12 by 16 inch scene, He likes to finish in one sitting because it is difficult to go back to the same location to work on the painting later, Weather, such as overcast skies compared to a sunny day, makes a great deal of dif- ference in the colouring of the painting. The time of day also makes a difference in the amount of lighting and shadows in a scene. Lambert stresses that a painter can juggle nature around and paint the scene the way he'dlike to see it.For example, he left some trees out of a scenehedidof Lake Huron's shore in Pinery Park. The trees would have made the picture seem unbalanced, he says. He says he has to tell his students at the art association that they don't have to paint exactly what they see. In one class he showed them a slide with a group of barns in the picture. Then he showed his painting of the scene where he eliminated one of the buildings and made the picture more interesting. Lambert says that one of the most important things in his work is being critical. He is seldom satisfied with one of his paintings, and he says he is always trying to im- prove. Approve 12 permits A dozen building permits were approved by Exeter council this week, the last they'll have to face now that a building inspector has been named, Permits approved in- cluded swimming pools for Doug Geoffrey, 268 Churhill Drive, and Jan Hunking, 91 Simcoe, and residential renovations for the following : Hazel Miller, 332 Pryde; Oliver Jaques, 235 Marlborough; Laura Sillery, 139 Victoria W; Tom Hill, 182 Huron W; W.

Joins new tractor firm Harley Zeehuisen, a for- mer employee at Huron Tractor Ltd., Exeter has joined with two other men as owners of Rodney Tractor, which officially opened on the weekend. Zeehuisen will manage the business. The other two owners are Nick Vandenberg and Gordon Cross of St. Thomas, who have operated the Van- Cross John Deere agency for the past six years in that city, Zeehuisen and his wife, Paula, plan to take up residence in Rodney. As to be expected, the job situation in the South Huron area is markedly worse than a similar period last year but officials at the Exeter office of the Canada Employment Centre remain cautiously optimistic. Student placement officer Mary Nichol said Tuesday that placements by her office have. been running at about the level as they were in 1979. Nichol said the month of June has seen several em- ployee requests come in, primarily from the agricultural field and from the several summer youth employment programs which have begun operation. This week is Hire A Student Week with Nichol noting that there are many young people ready and willing to tackle almost any type of job of any duration. She urged the students to keep looking for employment and said they could earn between $2.15 and $4 per hour. Two students who presevered in their quest for summer employment are now working for the ministry of natural resources in northern Ontario following a week's training in fire fighting at Owen Sound. Clandeboye Mr. and Mrs. Alex McComb visited Mr. and Mrs. Murray Carter and Carol, Monday evening. letter asking what remuneration would, he paid by the Grand Cove association or Stephen township for the snow removal. Crawford said that ob- viously Grand Cove residents don't have the information that council requested. "We would consider it, if they got the information," Crawford said. In other business; - council decided to ask for tenders to build the washrooms, and showers planned for the Eilber Street Parkette, - council offered the Chamber of Commerce the use of barrels and barricades for use on Burgerfest weekend. They also gave the chamber permission to charge a fee for parking on the beach, - council voted to have a stop sign erected at Oak and Hill streets for westbound traffic. A letter from residents in that area,requested the sign. - council suggested to Angelo Maruca that he contact the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Government Services and the contractors about damage done to his building during sewer construction. Both Nichol and em- ployment centre manager John Gillespie said op- portunities for jobs in con- struction and in factories are very limited. One side effect of the general slow-down in the economy is that some jobs which in the past might have been full time employment are jobs for the summer. Gillespie stated that many employers are adopting a wait and see attitude and not committing themselves to a Rehearsals are well . un- derway for two new Canadian plays at the Blyth Summer Festival, A com- pany of twelve actors hailing from all parts of the country gathered in Blyth this week to begin preparations for the Festival's opening on July 4. John and the Missus, by full time job. The slow down in the economy has seen a dramatic down-turn in the number of job orders placed with the centre. Compared to a year ago, the number of orders is down between 50 and 60 percent, he said. The employment situation among area industries is a mixed bag with some Huron Park firms hiring a few people and others at the same employment level they were a few months ago. Employers are filling a higher percentage of jobs with previously received applications, according to Gillespie. This has resulted in fewer job orders being placed with the employment centre and fewer help wanted ads. 4-M pony club meets Monday the second meeting of the 4-H Exeter Horse and Pony Club was held at Brandale Equestrian Centre, After writing a test on the topic of last meeting the 11 attending club members discussed the topic "Safety Rules and Precautions. General as well as Specific Safety Rules were discussed. Finally Mr. Brand produced several containers of cool-aid for members to drink. well-known actor writer Gordon Pinsent (the Rowdyman and A Gift to Last), kicks off the season on July 4. With the help of music and a bittersweet humour, Pinsent spins the tale of John Munn, a Newfoundland miner whose anger and confusion stems from the rapid changes that "the oil" and subsequent development are wreaking on his beloved province. Veteran actor David Fox plays John, and he is joined by Anne Anglin as "The Missus" who is torn between her own desires and her loyalty to John and the old ways. The cast also 'in- cludes Alan Bridle, William Dunlop, Tom Hauff, Michel Lefebyre, Hardee Lineham and Seana McKenna. St. Sam of the Nuke Pile premieres on July 8. St. Sam springs from the satiric and witty pen of Ted Johns, star of The School Show and He Won't Come in From the Barn. Ontario Hydro, anti- nuclear groups, Atomic Energy Comissions, hor- ticultural visionaries and the ordinary people of Ontario collide and re-align in this examination of nuclear power in general and the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant in particular. Tom Arnott, Diana Belshaw, Paula Schappert, William Dunlop and John Jarvis are the players in this game of energy, politics and money. Tickets for both plays and for the rest of the Blyth season are available by mail or phone from the Blyth box office (phone 523-9300), or from any ticket outlet.

Continued from page 1A results may not be seen the first 'year, and the word of mouth is the best ad- vertising, Grenier says it will take a few years for the public to know that all of Grand Bend is open. Grenier also pointed out that people from surroun- ding areas such as Exeter, Parkhill and Forest may come to Grand Bend that day if they know that the banks, liquor store and beer store were open. Reeve Sharen said that he hoped the wrong kind of people weren't attracted to the village, In correspondence, council members seemed very distrubed by a letter from the disturbed of Grand Cove Estates. The letter com- plained about Grand Bend council seeking payment to remove snow from the sidewalk leading to the Grand walkway. The sidewalk is located in Stephen township. At the last council meeting representatives requested that the village clear the walk. At that time, Council asked them if they would like to be annexed into the village, After that meeting clerk Louise Clipperton sent a Ask help on vandalism The support of Exeter's recently organized Block oParent group has been enlisted to cut down on vandalism. Councillor Jay Campbell, who was named along with Councillor Al Epp to study the problem of vandalism in the community, told council this week that the idea of using the Block Parent group to fight vandalism had been decided upon during a meeting the two had with Police Chief Ted Day. Campbell said the Block Parents would be asked to report any acts of vandalism or notify police if they see anyone acting suspiciously in their neighborhood. He noted that the ef- fectiveness of that program would be decided in time. FREEMAN HODGINS Suddenly at St. Joseph's Hospital, on Wednesday, June 11th, 1980, J.
