Brussels Minor Hockey
presents `Soundsation'
By Bonnie Gropp
The season may have come to an
end, but for the past few weeks, the
workshops at Blyth Festival are
echoing with the sounds of work
being done.
Ray Salverda just recently fin-
ished the set for the Lighthouse
Festival Theatre production of
Peggy and Grace, which will
appear on the Blyth stage Sunday,
Nov. 28. Blyth will be the third
stop on an extensive tour of
Ontario.
The story is of two older women
who ''chuck it all" and buy a motor
home to tour the couniry. How
About 100 ladies from Stratford-
Huron Presbyterial of the Women's
Missionary Society gathered in
Knox Presbyterian Church,
Goderich, for their annual fall rally
on Oct. 18. The Goderich ladies
served a delicious meat pie and
salad supper. Rev. Ian McWhinney
of Goderich said grace.
Following the meal, Mrs. Pat
White, Goderich, presided for the
programme which began with a
welcome from Rev. David
Nicholson. Richard and Laurine
Madge, Goderich, sang "Tis So
Sweet to Trust in Jesus" with Jean
Carruthers at the piano.
North Momington WMS was in
charge of the devotions. Margaret
Allen read scriptures from Genesis
1 and John 1, and gave a meditation
on light. Margaret Dowd led in
prayer. Laurine Madge sang a solo,
"My Tribute".
Diane Petrie introduced the guest
speakers, the Re' rendsRobert and
Prescilla Anderson of Toronto. The
Andersons had spent 15 years in
Japan, returned home for a time,
and after Mrs. Anderson was
ordained, went to work among the
Koreans in Japan for another year,
replacing a United States couple
home on furlough. They have a
married daughter living just outside
Tokyo.
Prescilla led several bible study
their motorhome made its way into
the Blyth Garage workshop goes
back, Mr. Salverda says, to his
spreading the word about the shops
availability during the off season.
When Lighthouse Festival called
to see if he knew anyone who could
do the job, Mr. Salverda volun-
teered. Originally estimated at over
$5,000, Mr. Salverda chipped away
the figure by using a combination
of fresh building materials, bor-
rowed ones from Blyth and some
existing stock from the Lighthouse
Festival. The total cost including
labour came to $3,600.
Mr. Salverda says the set took
groups there, especially for the
women who preferred to have a
woman teacher. Every morning she
had to sweep the street in front of
the house and most of the garbage
was cigarette butts. Vegetables at
the market nearby were expensive -
200 yen ($2) for half a squash.
They lived just across from a
temple of a branch of the Buddhist
religion, and at their back door was
a Shinto gate.
The Shintos have many festivals
and parades with a strange mixture
of beauty, violence, religion and
commerce.
Much of the Anderson's work
was international. At their suppers
and bible studies the groups were
made up of Japanese, American,
Canadian, English, Philippine and

just one week to build after the
designs came in.
On Nov. 2 the 'motor home' is
being moved to Toronto to be
painted and dressed so the actors
can rehearse in it, he said. He plans
to leave it constructed, however, so
they can see how to disassemble it
and put it back together. With 14
flats, five risers, four sub-structure
frames, plus props and electrical
works, Mr. Salverda figures the set
will for the first while take about
two hours to resurrect, though
"once they figure it out they should
have it to an hour and 15 minutes,"
he said.
Cambodian peoples.
The Korean Church they worked
in was quite tall with nursery
school on the first two floors,
seniors' nursing homes on the next
three and the church auditorium at
the top. They noticed that the
people in the nursing homes
seemed very happy and that they
enjoyed very much their wheel
chair bath tub.
The Andersons really appreciated
the many Christmas cards they
received from people all across
Canada and expressed their thanks.
The Presbyterial president,
Robina Alexander, Listowel,
thanked the speakers and Janet
Gibson, St. Marys, gave the
treasurer's report. The meeting
closed with a hymn and prayer.
Morris Twp. has no objections to

"There are far reaching benefits
for us all if we can get more people
to wear seat belts," said Mr.
Pouliot. "Lower health care,
property damage and wage loss
costs are some of those benefits."
The imposition of demerit points
for seat belt offenses is a part of the
government's goal to make
Ontario's roads the safest in North

under way include the introduction
of graduated licensing for all new
