Village Squire, 1977-11, Page 3We now have in stock a selection of quality housecoats and loungewear in soft velours and brushed acrylics...Just in time for Christmas giving. UP FRONT Village Squire this month travels far and wide in Western Ontario to try to bring you some interesting information. The daytripping column this month takes a journey to Elora, a pl _asant place to visit anytime, but with Christmas approaching, it's a gold mine of ideas with its dozens of small shops. Our dining column too visits an Elora restaurant, and an unusual one at that. From one stone town to another, this time St. Marys where one of the original small shop owners there has recently moved into a new business taking a lot of his old interests with him. The man is Mike Griffin who began The Rare Bird two years ago and now has bought out Smith Jewellers. For our other main feature story this month it's over to Goderich where artist Mona Mulhern is working hard to establish herself not just with the local people, but in the major art centres such as London and Toronto. And Elaine Townshend introduces us to a Bayfield man who has turned inventor with a handy gadget for those who travel. Our television column looks at the CFPL Morning Break program and the influence on it made by former CKNX morning man Jim Swan. In the Press column, controversial London Free Press theatre critic explains his interpretation of the role of the critic in theatre, an interpretation that may surprise some of his enemies. It's a full issue and we hope you enjoy it. Oh yes, and there's a letter to the editor criticizing an earlier dining column. We welcome both criticism and compliments and wish we'd hear more of your thoughts.
