He went on to get an
executive position with an ad
agency, and from there he
got public relations work
with a large paper mill.
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.

School

was with you. It gave us four
days of rest from his

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

The support of Exeter's

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.
