It's been a long way from the tiny Huron village of St. Augustine to the corridors of power in Canada but Harry J. Boyle has made the journey and continues to be rewarded for his contributions. The well-known author, broadcaster and former chairman of the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission was recently made a member of the Order of Canada. one of 20 new members of the Order. Mr. Boyle is now a columnist for the Sunday Star in Toronto as well as continuing his writing career. It was the best of years. it was the worst of years. That's what 1978 has been so far for Ken Livingstone London theatre director. The year began with headaches, when Livingstone's own Centre Stage theatre faced closure because expected government funding fell through. Friends of the theatre rallied round however and won more money to keep the theatre going. But then after directing a new translation of the Henrik Ibsen play Little Eyolf he was invited to go to Niagara -on -the -Lake to be an assistant director at the prestigious Shaw Festival. For most people in southern Huron and Perth counties Shirley Paul has been known as . the pianist for the popular entertainment group the Paul Brothers and Shirley. But many others who have gone through her classes over the years, she's been even better known as a school teacher. She is retiring after 36 years of teaching in Perth County schools from a one -room school near Kirkton to schools in Mitchell, St. Pauls and St. Marys. When she married Leon Paul 32 years ago she also became part of the entertainment business. He and brother Gerry Paul along with Shirley have entertained at conventions, lodge nights and clubs not only in the local area, but in the Toronto and Hamilton areas as well. Shirley's teaching job hampered the business however. because they often arrived home late making it hard for her to get to work the next morning. With retirement from teaching the group hopes to expand its territory. Flowers & beautiful gifts with that `County' touch! - wicker, glassware & lots more.
