`Oliver', a Dickens of a show
Lionel Bart's Oliver! the
blockbuster musical hit based on
Charles Dickens' famous "Oliver
Twist" previews at Huron Country
Playhouse on June 15, opens on
June 16 and runs until July 3.
Oliver! began its epoch-making
run in London on June 30, 1960.
The New York production opened
on Dec. 27 of that year following
tryouts in Los Angeles, San
Francisco and 10 other cities. In the

Administrative Director Lascelle
Wingate announced June 1, the
designation of the final matinee
performance of Wingfield's Folly
on Saturday, June 12, as PWYC
(Pay-What-You-Can) performance.
In making the announcement,
Administrative Director Lascelle
The Architectural Conservancy
of Ontario (ACO) was founded in
1933 to preserve the best examples
of Ontario's architecture and to
protect places of natural beauty.
Always short of funds, and faced
with the near impossible task of
preserving, or more correctly
conserving, Ontario's architecture,
the organization has of necessity
paid little attention protecting
places of natural beauty. It has
concentrated on advocacy, research
and educational programs of
lecturers, walking tours, house
tours, publications and workshops
but has also provided loans to
property owners and informed
opinions on buildings through a
professional board. It has
occasionally intervened by
purchasing a building.
The ACO also operates an
Advisory Board which is able to
assist people in all aspects of
restoration, preservation,
conservation and repair of historic
and old buildings. This Advisory
Board can be contacted through
any of the local branches.
Some of the branches across the
province are Ouinte Region, Port
Hope, Heritage Cambridge, Brant
County, North Waterloo Region,
Oxford County, and Huron County.
The Huron County Branch of the
ACO was an outgrowth of the Save
the Gaol Society. That group was
formed in 1973 under the
presidency of Joan van de Broeck
to prevent the demolition of one of
the walls of the historic Huron
County Gaol in Goderich. In need
of all the support it could get in that
struggle it applied for membership
in the Architectural Conservancy of
Ontario.
When the Ontario Heritage Act
came into being, members from
distribution of the 1963 Tony
Awards, Lionel Bart took honours
for the music and lyrics.
The London production closed
Sept. 9, 1966 after its 2,618th
performance, making it the longest
running musical of the British
theatre to that date. Following a six
month hiatus, the musical re-
opened on May 1, 1967 to sell-out
crowds. A long-running revival
,pc,,ed in London in 1977 and on
Broa iway in 1984.
concludes with a scrumptious
dinner at the end of the day. One of
the many highlights of the event
will be the fabulous prize table —
from which every golfer will win a
gift. A grand array of goods and
services has been donated by
dozens of local businesses and
individuals.
A truly gifted golfer could be the
lucky winner of a 1993 LMP
Pontiac Sunbird, sponsored in
partnership by Dale Intermediaries
Ltd. and Guardian Insurance. The
trick? Merely sinking a hole-in-
one! In addition, every registrant
Wingate commented, "We are
adding this because of the
numerous requests we have
received, indicating the continued
popularity of this relatively new
programme."
With a suggested minimum $5,
all unsold seats remaining one hour
both Bayfield and Goderich applied
to their local councils for the
establishment of LACAC's. Both
centres were among the first in e
province to establish Designated
Heritage Districts.
The Huron County Branch of the
ACO has more recently been
involved with tours, art contests,
lectures, design workshops and
assisting local LACAC's with
appropriate solutions for work
being proposed on heritage
buildings. In future, the Branch
hopes to organize tours of various
historic homes and buildings
throughout the county.

sixtieth (60th) Provincial Anniver-
sary, the Huron County Branch is
