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 visited her father, Charlie Smith last weekend. They visited Char­ lie’s brother-in-law Gordon Mc­ Dowell in Huronview and were pleased to find him in good health. Last Sunday Charlie’s son Lyle called from his home in Sault Ste.
