Storey, who himself comes from a long line of Orangemen says, "I've chosen to set the play during an interesting political point in Canadian history. moving to Auburn, where she resides with her husband and two children, she has sang with the Kitchener-Waterloo Philharmonic Choir, the London Fanshawe Choir, the Blyth Festival and the Saugeen Bach Choir.

Two students have been chosen to organize and implement several of these programs at all the branches throughout Huron County. Each individual branch of the Huron County Library will also be running its own programs, some of which include special animal visitors to the library. There are also contests and individual reading games prepared to encourage the children to continue reading throughout the summer months. The programs are free of charge, however, some require pre­ registration which can be done at that particular branch. ATTENTION Women of Huron County If you have experienced abuse from your husband or part­ ner, we need your help. S.W.A.N. (Stop Woman Abuse Now) is conducting a study of community response to woman abuse. The purpose of the study is to help improve service to women whose experience has been one of abuse by their partner. We need to hear from as many women as possible. We are interested in your experience: what help you needed, what help you found, and what help you didn't find. We want to talk to you about how services need to change to be as supportive as possi­ ble to women. We will be taking calls about interviews from July 6 to July 10. The interviews will take approximately 2 hours to complete. Interviewers will arrange to meet you at a time and place that is convenient to you; or, if you prefer, interviews can be conducted over the phone. We can help you with child-care, transportation or other problems. If you would like more information, or if you are willing to help by talking to us, please call us.

In actual fact, the Klu Klux Klan sent envoys into Canada to expand their membership and they saw the Loyal Orange Order, which was established in Canada in 1890, as a hoef currently conducts a voice stu­ dio in Goderich. Other additions to the staff for the festival includes the Laurier Saxophone Quartet, Marian Miller, The Tapestry String Quartet and Robert Silverman.

Speaking on behalf of the National Capital Commission, Chairman Jean Pigott elaborated on the festivities planned for Canada's capital in honour of this special anniversary. "Canada's capital will be a magnificent kaleidoscope of sights and sounds as hundreds of thousands of Canadians participate in the best Canada Day program ever," said Mrs. Pigott. In making Canada Day 1992 festivities a reality, the extraordinary dedication of innumerable volunteers across the country exemplifies the true spirit of Canada, the spirit of sharing. logical entry point. Il's interesting that the K.K.K. never got a foothold into Canada. Their militancy was rejected by the Orange Order and to this day the Loyal Orange Association continues as a community service organization." The Loyal Orange Lodge once exerted great influence upon the political affairs of towns and villages across Ontario. Many of its original members were Northern Irishmen who had come to Canada with British regiments and they were staunchly loyal to the Crown and proudly anti-Catholic. Displayed on their banners was the heroically mounted figure of King William of Orange, victor of the Battle of the Boyne, in which the soldiers of Northern Ireland triumphed in the cause of Protestantism. For years members of the Loyal Orange Lodge have paraded every July 12th. Although these "Orange walks" are still held on what is still called "the Glorious Twelfth", both the parades and the Orange influence have greatly waned in recent years. Laurel Paetz and Dwight McFee play the crafty American intruders who meddle into the affairs of a powerful family of Orangemen who have been hiding a horrible secret.
