painting Hall
BY JOHN HESSELWOOD
The Blyth Memorial Hall Board
held its monthly meeting in the
council chambers on Monday even
ing. Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. with seven
members present. Chairperson
Shirley Fyfe conducted the meet
ing. Several things were discussed
including painting of the basement
walls and obtaining curtains or
drapes for the two windows in the
basement hall. Members also felt
something should be done with the
ticket window between the lobby
and the main hall as it was not used
any more. The group is to find a
place to hang the quilt once the
frame is made out of the lumber
made from the oak tree which had
to be removed when the link was
built between the hall and the
Festival building.
A letter was received from the
Ladies Auxiliary to the Canadian
Legion stating they did not care to
have a voting member on the hall
board at this time but would
consider it again next year. A letter
was also received from the Figure
Skating Club stating they would not
be having a voting member on the
hall board.
Bills and accounts were passed
and sent to council for their
approval and payment but the
P.U.C. bill for the hall still is
something to be reckoned with.
Campbell of Truro, N.S., who just
happened to be visiting their
parents at that time.
One highlight of this first Florida
trip for Charlie was the opportunity
to attend two Lions’ Club meetings.
The next Blyth meeting will doubt
less be an interesting one for all
members.
Dick Poore and daughters Gayle
and Elaine greatly enjoyed a few
weeks ago, their two-week trip to
Arizona. They enjoyed their flight
to Las Vegas and their tours in the
large state of Arizona and parts of
Mexico. They visited the Grand
Canyon, the Colorado River, and
went into the desert. They shopped
in Phoenix.
They were lucky weatherwise,
for it was never cold as it had been
earlier. When asked what they
enjoyed most, the three Poores lost
no time in saying that it was the
gracious hospitality of their rela
tives. Pictures taken will serve as
valuable mementos of the scenic
grandeur of Arizona.
Marjorie Smith of Kitchener

last weekend. They visited Char

Last Sunday Charlie’s son Lyle
