Fathers' Day June 17 iiCkEtt Caint2 tin LC Eci "The Store For Men' Main Office KINCARDINE CLINTON GODERICH This month ... With nearly all media centred in the big cities, we've been brainwashed for a long time now that small towns were just small time, that most people lived in the cities and all the tax money came from the cities. Many city people would have you believe that if it wasn't for the city tax dollars, we'd still be in the backwoods without highways or commun- ications. We've reprinted an article this month from the Canadian Paper%crker Journal which shows some startling facts about small towns. We also look this month at a Local Initiatives project with a difference. It's a project run during the past winter by a group of Goderich painters who will brighten the stay of patients in Huron county hospitals. There's another short story from a local writer this month and you'll find articles on many other topics as well, from travel to weaving. Follow up... As lo.e predicted last month in our story on the Farm Show tour, critics and audiences everwhere loved it. Some of you may have been among the audience in Stratford May 13 at the wind-up of the tour. Between 1300 and 1400 persons showed up in the huge Stratford theatre to see the play, many for their second, or even third time. Officials at the theatre had expected 400 at most. A victory for Canadian culture started here in western Ontario? The show now goes on to Ottawa after the actors have had time to rest for a while and to prepare a new play similar to the one they did here about the people of North- ern Ontario.
