The Village Squire, 1981-10, Page 25Toronto and one of this country's top three
calligraphers. It's an easy system to teach
and learn. yet it's attractive.
Aspiring and accomplished calligra-
phers are handcuffed without proper
supplies and materials. but Patrick eases
that worry with her Classic Sign and
Design Shop in Kincardine, considered
one of the top calligraphy stores in eastern
Canada.
You don't flick your Bic with these
people.
Royal surge of power
Britain's Royal wedding triggered a
royal surge in power consumption across
this province in the early hours of July 28.
Ontario Hydro says that by 6 a.m. on that
day of celebrated nuptials, power de-
mands were about 300,000 kilowatts
above normal. That's almost enough to
supply the needs of a city the size of
London (Ontario, that is). In the words of
Hydro spokesman, "We haven't seen an
increase like that since Tiny Tim got
married on the Johhny Carson show." So
you weren't the only one up at 5 a.m. to
turn on the tube and tune in Charles and
Lady Di.

"WHERE
THE UNUSUAL
IS USUAL"
The GRAND CENTRAL HOTEL, built in 1847, was for decades a welcoming place to spend the night. Today it is a
group of three connecting shops. What was once the lane for horses and buggies to reach the stable at the back is
now a charming card and candle shop. The original bar is now the Ladies' Wear with its handcraft section. Browse
on into the Gift Shop, once the dining room, where full use has been made of the charm of this old building. Many
of the original antiques are used to display imports from around the world.
