Store front exhibits art Manning is an honour graduate of the Ontario College of Art. She was a successful printmaker in Toronto but was forced to discontinue this because of the health hazards involved in etching. A move to the clean air of Huron County, and a studio in the woods restored body and soul, and she has now accumulated a body of work in oils and pen and ink. McAlister "Gallery on the Bluff' has shown mostly paintings until eight years ago, when she began featuring bronze sculptures of figures in motion. She says "I have moved from dressing the human form in fashion design, to painting, stressing the connection of people with their environment. My sculpting uses the concave negative space created by bare bones or garments to create the illusion of motion. My special interest in dance and psychology throughout my life has now merged with sculpture. I portray this fusion in what I perceive as the movement of the internal dance and of the dance of human relationships." sons as the trustees of the Blyth Cemetery and the Blyth Union Cemetery) would have to sign a deed formally transferring the cemetery." Also, a bylaw should be passed and registered on title acknowledg- ing receipt of this deed. "Assuming that it might be impossible to obtain a formal deed now, about the only thing that could possibly be done is to register the agreement on title between the trustees of the Blyth Cemetery and the Corporation of the Village of Blyth dated May 12, 1950, as a 'deposit' on the title. " Though this is not a formal deed, it would indicate that Blyth now had an interest in the property, Davies said. The assessment office might then change the records. Council agreed to take whatever steps were necessary and appointed the firm of Carey and Ottewell to proceed.

This exhibition will be changed monthly. Manning and McAlister have lived and worked in the area for many years and are members of the Huron Society of Artists Studio Tour Group. Both are mature artists who have exhibited widely. Blyth Union Cemetery is not owned by the village as originally thought. Council was told that though the lawyer has no file on the matter any longer, it seems the new parcel purchased from Alvin Snell in 1974 was in the name of the vil- lage. The Blyth Union Burying Ground, however was registered to three trustees, which attorney Ross Davies informed the present coun- cil had been explained to the clerk in 1974 through verbal communica- tion. Davies said the clerk advised him that Blyth Union Burying Ground had transferred ownership to Blyth Union Cemetery. "However, I have no way of determining whether in fact we ever discussed registering the par- cel which was registered in the name of the trustees of the Blyth Union Burying Ground to the Cor- poration of the Village of Blyth," he wrote council. Formal registration now may be impossible Davies said. Though an agreement dated May 12, 1950 among the three trustees of the Blyth Cemetery transfers owner- ship to Blyth, the Registry Office records show that the registered title is in the name of the three trustees. Davies wrote, "In order to trans- fer the property in 1950 and pre- sumably again in 1974, the trustees of the Blyth Union Burying Ground (assuming they are the same per- Correction Pastor Jim Carrie was identified as a war veteran under the picture on the Blyth page of last week's issue of The Citizen.

By Bonnie Gropp John Stewart, a member of the Blyth Lions attended the June 5 meeting of council to update them on the soccer field project. Stewart said he, as well as Reeve Mason Bailey and Councillor Ron Ritchie had met with representa- tives of the Thresher Association to discuss the work and to make sure that the Association had no con- cerns with what was being done. He said that the way it was left was that the slope to the field and the field itself is not the Associa- tion's concern. Representatives from the Associ- ation will meet with county and vil- lage reps to assess the grades for the slope. Stewart said it was felt a three to one grade was best. The rest of the field would be levelled off, grass planted and a chain link fence installed to protect people from the slope and to keep the balls from rolling away. Stewart explained that while some people had felt the field was going to be turned over to the soc- cer league to look after, the actual intention is that it is town property and there will be a user few for Ken Pennington's :Rita 411.
