The 91st annual meeting of
the Howick Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company was held in the
Township hall in Gorrie on Fri-
day.
Two directors, William L.
Speir of Brussels and W. Leslie
Douglas retired, but Mr. Doug-
las accepted re-election to the
board. Mr. Speir chose to re-
tire after 30 years as a director,
from 1933-1964. When he ac-
cepted his office in 1933,
James McFadzean was his
strongest supporter at a directors'
Meeting preceding the annual
meeting.
Mr. Speir was honored by
fellow members of the staff and
the board, and presented with a
handsome electric clock.
James Mair was elected to
replace Mr. Spear for a period
of three years, to representMor-
ris Township. Other members
of the board are: President,
Harold Robinson of Gorrie;
Claire Hutchison, Minto Town-
ship; W. Leslie Douglas, Turn -
berry; Norman Harding, How -
ick; Ewart McKereher-, Grey;
and Harold Cosens, Wallace,
who was chairman of the meet-
ing.
The auditors report showed a
surplus of $6000.00.
Policyholders of the comp-
any approved a change in by-
law to permit the selling of
farm machinery and livestock
floater coverages. The company
has been able to sell only fire
and extended coverages.
About 125 of the company's
5000 policyholders attended the
meeting.

(Review week Feb. 14-21)
It was 10 a. m, on the morn-
ing of Monday, the 17th. The
place was the Shakespearean
Theatre in Stratford, Ontario,
and the stars were arriving to
begin rehearsals on the new sea-
son's plays. There is a special
reason why rehearsals have be-
gun so early; usually they do
AOC begin until April or May.
But this year the talented Can-
adian actors and actresses will
be bringing more prestige to
our country when they present
three plays in Chichester, Eng-
land, as part of the British cele-
brations to commemorate the
400th anniversary of Shake-
speare's birth. The plays to be
presented at Chichester, will be
two Shakespearean plays, "Ti -
mon of Athens" and "Love's
Labour's Lost", and Moliere's
"Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme".
The plays will run from April
6th to April 25th, including a
performance of 'LLL' on the
playwright's birthday, April
23rd.
Stars in the three plays, in-
clude John Colicos who will
play the title role in ' Timon' ,
Douglas Rain, who will star in
the French production, William
Hutt, Eric House, Frances Hy-
land, Bruno Gerussi, Diana
Maddox, Martha Henry, Eric
Christmas, Leo Ciceri, Amelia

Didn't I tell you that Mitzi
Gaynor is a pert bundle of en-
ergy? Her television appear-
ance with Ed Sullivan in Flori-
da, even succeeded in over-
shadowing the Beatles. She is
not cut out for romantic bal-
lads, but those blues numbers
were the living end, expecially
'Joshua' and his 'battle of Jeri-
cho'. It's easily seen how she
can draw such an enormous fee
in night-clubs; she must have
everyone almost dancing around
the tables with her antics. The
lucky stiffs who danced with her
are her partners in her club act;
that is why they knew the rou-
tine so well. She makes so few
TV appearances that a hand of
thanks should be extended to
Ed for coming through with this
headliner.
And speaking of the Beatles,
they were no better, no worse,
than their first appearance,
though the girls were a bit more
calm and collected. But that
sound didn't do a thing for them;
it was terrible! One microphone
was too loud, the other too soft,
and the building echoed the
sound of their guitars. If this is
the way his Florida shows are
going to be transmitted, Iwish
he's stay in New York!

Last week was a week for
good -music -lovers, when this
part of Western Ontario saw two
excellent productions staged.
One was "An Evening of Music"
with the Dominion Life Choir
of Waterloo, in the Howick
Central School; the other was
the Wingham District High
School's Variety Concert, pre-
sented annually by the students.
In the former, conductor Don-
ald Landry led the thirty voices
in magnificent arrangements of
classical, popular, and relig-
ious music, not to mention the
tremendous appeal of his own
baritone voice in solo work.
Outstanding numbers were Han-
del's "Hallelujah Chorus", a
rousing version of "Oklahoma",
and a medley of songs from
"Btigadoon". And a great ad-
dition to the sound, was the
fabulous piano -playing of live-
ly Ada Eby, the choir's ac-
companist.
Wingham High School's con-
cert was youth showing what it
could do, and definitely at-
taining its goal. The dances
weren't Copacabana material,
but the music was cute and it
was wonderful to see some
male'Students participating.
Let's see them in the dances
every year! The play, "A Bat-
tle of Wits", dragged in some
places and was a bit ridiculous
in others, but members of the
cast performed their parts well,
the make-up was exceptionally
well -applied, and the costum-
ing was splendid. Those respon-
sible should be congratulated.
The music, as usual, was very
enjoyable, especially the boys'
number, "A Great Day", and
the medley of "West Side Story'
music by the Senior Choir. Dir-
ector, of course, is Mrs. Carl
Douglas, who deserves bouquets
for her efforts.

LAKELET--The February
meeting of the McBel Friend-
ship Club was held at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wright
on Tuesday night with an at-
tendance of nineteen.
The meeting included Scrip-
ture reading by Mrs. G. Wright.
A devotional reading, "The
Rewards of Caring", was given
by Mrs. Robt. Harkness, fol-
lowed by another hymn. Pray-
er was offered by Miss F. Ing-
lis.
The business followed dur-
ing which a letter of appreci-
ation was read, for the Christ-
mas gift of money which was
used to help the children of
leper parents in Korea.
Games and contests were en-
joyed and lunch was served.
