LUCKNOW CONCERT BAND
ON TOUR
Early Thursday morning, sixty-nine Lucknow band
members left on two buses, first travelling to Orchard
Park Public School in Orillia. Former Lucknow staff
teacher, Mrs. Lib McMurray welcomed the band.
Pupils of this completely carpeted, air-conditioned, four
year old school found the band the most entertaining
they had ever heard.
The afternoon concert was at Archie Stauffer Public
School in Minden. Band members. were again given a
standing ovation and asked to sign autographs,
The band then travelled to the Wig-a-Mog Inn for a
chicken supper, swimming, dancing and eventually
sleep in the assigned cabins. Sometime was spent
rescuing band members from being carried off by black
flies and mosquitoes. Marching .practice among the
swarms was quite a test of endurance..
On Friday morning, a nine -thirty concert was played
in Bancroft Senior Public School where the band has
entertained before. Principal Layton Shouldice,
formerly of Shallow Lake, warmly welcomed the band.
The pupils wished they could start each day with such
excellent entertainment.
After having lunch on the bus the band played a short
concert at Oshawa Collegiate. Although the band_
played their best, they were disappointed to find the

Even the trumpeter's "Call to the Post" could not
quiet them. The buses then carried them to the Ramada
Inn where they enjoyed a refreshing swim and then to
Scarborough Civic Centre Shopping Mall for supper
and shopping.
On Saturday the band prepared for the Lions'
Convention Parade in Brampton. It was a well
organized parade and crowds along the route gave
them a warm reception. Hot and tired band members
welcomed the sight of two buses ready to start them
homeward.
Excellent 'bus drivers, most helpful band member
chaperones, band - president Paddy Murray and
co-operation from all band members made this another
tour to be long remembered. An extra pleasure was
receiving the news that the band had placed second in
its category in the parade.

Tevya played by Rob Henderson, Lucknow, sits on his milk
wagon asking why it would be such a_ problem to be a rich
man in Madill Secondary's production of the Broadway
musical, "Fiddler on the Roof". Several Lucknow students
who attend Madill play leading parts in the musical
including,. Stephen Pritchard as Motel, the tailor; Tom
Henderson as the Rabbi; Alex Irwin as Avrahm; Linda
Moore as Fruma-Sarah and Mary Luanne Clare as Granma
Tzeitel. The play runs June 1, 2 and 3 hi the Madill
auditorium. A funny and provocative play with an
excellent music score, it has been loved by audiences who
made it the longest running show in Broadway's history.
The students at Madill are taking on a very ambitious
production but, as indicated by their dress rehearsals, they
are meeting the challenge, - and the play should be a
delight for everyone who sees it.
Huron to learn if municipalities can issue building permits
BY SHIRLEY
J. KELLER
Huron County may find
out very soon whether or
not the municipalities"'
have been able to issue
building : permits under
the National Building
Code.* Planning director
Gary Davidson warned
Friday at county coun-
cil's May session that
some legal advisers say
the municipalities cannot
issue building permits
unless they have passed
the necessary bylaws
enforcing the Ontario
Building Code Act of 1974.
"We may ,have a
challenge in Colborne
Township very soon,"
said Davidson. "Then
we'll know."
At a meeting in Lon-
desboro recently, county
planner Roman Dzus told
the Huron County
Municipal Officers'
Association annual
meeting that unless a
municipality has passed
a bylaw enforcing ' the
Ontario•Building Code, it
has no legal basis ' to
charge for, or issue a
building permit. Dzus
said at that time the
Ontario Building Code
Act of 1974 is the .only,
legislation that can be
used to control con-
struction in a
municipality,
At Friday's meeting of
county council, the
planning • department
reported that the model
bylaws to appoint a chief
official and ' inspectors
and to regulate the
issuance of permits and
enforcement of the
Ontario Building Code of
1974 are available and
should be distributed to
each municipality in
Huronfor consideration.
"These model bylaws
give the legal' right to
issue permits and puts
the municipalities in a
position to carry out the
responsibility, the
Ministry gave them in
1974," Davidson told
council.

Bayfield Reeve Ed
Oddleifson said it was his
understanding the
municipalities have the
authority to operate
under the National
Building Code. Davidson
said this theory had been
•
disputed by lawyers.
COSTS UP
-Davidson did agree
with Turnberry Reeve
Don Eadie that it will cost
the local municipalities
more'to comply with the,
Ontario .Building Code
Act. Davidson said there
is no doubt the Ministry
has passed the costs and
the responsibilities of
building inspection along
to the municipalities.
"If the Ontario
government's
requirements are not
met, the municipality can
be held liable," said
Davidson. The planning
director went on to ex-
plain the Ontario
Building Code Act deals
primarily with structural
matters. Things like
faulty roofs and leaky
basements and . poor
quality flooring just don't
come under this Act.
Reeve Oddleifson
wondered if it was
necessary to hire a
qualified building in-
spector in the local
municipalities. He said
