()/</ cars
at Doon Village
For better or for worse the
automobile has changed the life of
everyone. In 1914 the change was
just beginning and Doon Heritage
Crossroads reflects the beginning
of the automobile age. On Sunday,
June 17, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
the old cars come back to Doon.
Doon Heritage Crossroads is
fortunate to have in its collection
the prototype of the first production
car made in Kitchener and pro
bably in Canada. The LeRoy was
built by Norman and Milton Good
in a workshop at the Kaufman
lumber yard. In fact Jacob Kauf
man lent a hand in crafting the
body and upholstery and it was he
who suggested bending wood to
create the distinctive front dash
board of the LeRoy. When finished,
the 950 lb. LeRoy was capable of 30
miles per hour and, when other
models were made, sold for $650 -
about a year’s wages.
Rehearsals for the Young Com
pany begin July 16 from Monday
through Friday (morning and after
noon ) until the final performance
day of August 18. Students will be
working as actors with our profes
sional director and playwright and
as theatre technicians with a de
signer and crew. If this sounds
interesting to you, call the Blyth
Festival administration office at
523-4345 or 523-4830 and make an
appointment for a Young Company
interview for either June 18 or June
19.
Productions featured by the
Young Company include last year’s
popular “Mostly In Clover”, adap
ted by Keith Roulston from the
stories of Harry J. Boyle and
Colleen Curran’s 1988 4-part soap
opera series: “Dinsley The Soap:
Not the Street,” both written
especially for the Young Company.
These programmes are made
possible through the very generous
assistance of CKNX Broadcasting
Limited, Bill Farnell, Imperial Oil
Limited, Art, Janie & Tanis Steed,
Youth Theatre Training Program of
Theatre Ontario, funded by the
Ontario Arts Council and Mrs.
Mabel Wheeler.
NOTICE
SURVIVAL THROUGH
FRIENDSHIP HOUSE
OF HURON COUNTY
Our annual
General Meeting
shall be held this year on
JUNE 13th, 1990
at the
HURON COUNTY MUSEUM
110 NORTH STREET, GODERICH
7:30 P.M.
Our guest speaker this year
will be Diana Majury, Facul
ty of Law, University of
Western Ontario. She will be
speaking on a feminist
perspective of the law.
The future of the Ethel Commun
ity Hall was discussed at a meeting
on May 20 at the hall. A small
crowd of 10, plus four members of
the Grey Township Council, heard
Clerk-Treasurer Brad Knight out
line the grants available for renova
tions on the hall.
The hall is not used to any great
extent and it was debated if money
should be spent to fix the hall,
however, it was felt that improve
ments to the hall would make it
more attractive for rentals. There
was concern that the hall does not
meet fire or health department
regulations.
Little interest was shown in the
Provincial Access grant which
would be used to fix the entrance.
Of greater concern was the kitchen
which could be improved under a
capital conservation grant pro
gram. The province would provide
one third, the township would
provide one third and the commun
ity would have to raise the final
third. The meeting closed with the
hall board being asked to look into
the cost of moving the kitchen to
the stage, and to find out if the
community would be able to raise
the one third cost which would be
about $4,000.
