Many from the Blyth and Brussels area were among those who visited Sky Harbour Airport in
Goderich Saturday to see the return of the Lancaster Bomber. The plane had once been on display at
the airport before being restored to flying condition. The event also marked the opening of the new
runway at the airport.
Playhouse reports successful season
As the end of the 1990 summer
season draws near and box office
statistics are tallied, it appears that
the current year at Huron Country
Playhouse will be one of the best on
record.
Average attendance for the four
main stage productions, “Ten Lit
tle Indians’’, “Gypsy”, “Boeing
Boeing” and “Annie Get Your
Gun”, should climb over the 90 per
cent mark by September 1, when
the final curtain comes down on
“Annie Get Your Gun” and the
Playhouse’s 19th season.
It has not been uncommon at
Huron Country Playhouse for
musicals to average over 80 per
cent attendance, but it is unusual
for a whole season, musicals and
non-musicals, to produce the kind
of attendance figures of the current
season.

CN considers 4 bids
for rail line sale
The sale of the CN rail line from
Goderich to Stratford, which
brought inquiries from 40 possible
buyers, is down to four bidders who
are now being considered by CN.
Ken White, CN regional mana
ger of business planning, says the
railway company is looking for a
professional, well-financed mana
ger for the line, which primarily
hauls salt out of Goderich, and
fertilizer into the Hensall District
Co-op.
Mr. White says the sale is part of
CN’s plan to condense its overall
operation to a high-density main
line system, fed by a small locally-
operated short-line system.
Mr. White says having short-line
railroads owned and managed by
local operators has made for a more
efficient system in the United
States, and is a system CN is
implementing.
The four remaining bidders are
Ann Arbor Acquisition Corpora
tion, Essex Morterm Holdings
Limited, Huron Transportation
Group, and Rail Tex Inc.
These companies will be judged

on their credibility, how much they
will charge to ship cars from
Goderich to Stratford and back, and
the purchase price they offer. Their
bids were made Aug. 15, but are
not yet a matter of public record.
Mr. White says a local operator
of the line should result in better
service for its users, adding “we
believe this will be a successful
sale.’’
His words offer reassurance to
Huron County Council members
who have voiced fears that if no
buyer is found CN could phase out
rail service.
CN announced March 1, 1990
that it would sell the 112 km. of
track on the Goderich to Stratford
line and its spur connecting Clinton
with Centralia.
