Seniors
meet
The Blyth Swinging .Seniors met
on April 22 in the Blyth Memorial
Hall for their potluck dinner with
about 35 present.
After dinner President Lawrence
Plaetzer called the meeting to
order. It opened with the singing of
0 Canada accompanied by Gladys
Van Egmond at the piano.
The birthdays of the month were
Lenora Davidson, Ferric McDowell
and guest Evelyn Flett. The only
anniversary was Gladys and John
Van Egmond.
A sing-a-long followed led by
Hary McDowell and Aubrey Toll.
The program consisted of several
solos by Aubrey Toll and violin
selections by Hary McDowell.
Gladys accompanied these
numbers. John Hesselwood
favoured with some humorous
jokes and poems.
Jean Plaetzer then introduced
Rev. Paul Ross, minister for
Londesboro and Auburn United
Churches. He gave a really
humorous account of his search
through his glove compartment and
the many things he found. Most
seemed useless, but he thought he
just might need them some day.
After all that searching he failed to
find what he really needed, his
ownership and permit which were
safely at home in his wallet on his
dresser.
A speaker from .Town and
Country Support Services spoke
briefly on their dining program
once a month at the Anglican
Church. Anyone interested phone
Lenora Davidson.
4-H meets
By Sarah McLellan
On April 13, the third meeting of
Ethel's Learning New Beginnings
4-H Club began. Held at Amy
Cronin's house the meeting began
with the 4-H pledge and a roll call.
Jill Spieran's title page was chosen.
Next, Sara Spieran gave a
presentation on first aid and
showed her first aid kit.
Youth Leader Sarah McLellan
presented a discussion on
babysitting. The first part consisted
of a quiz. Kim Cox had the most
correct answers. Then there was a
list of things that every babysitter
should know, and a discussion
about the ethics of babysitting.
Lastly, the group broke into groups
to perform skits on babysitting.
The last part of the meeting was
devoted to the stations at which
three mothers were showing certain
babysitting techniques. The first
station was where Susan Cox
showed the members how to diaper
a baby with cloth diapers. The
second stop was Shannon Clary's,
who presented ideas about ways to
keep children busy. Last was
Theresa Rice who was in charge of
showing the members some things
you should do in case a child is
choking.

The Blyth Festival Singers are
presenting Love in 3/4 Time — a
concert of classical and modern
love songs and readings.
The concert will take place on
Saturday, May 9 at the Blyth
Memorial Hall with shows at 3 and
8 p.m.
The 40-voice choir will present a
wide selection of love songs
including music by Brahms and
other lovers, Brahms love songs,
music from West Side Story and
Phantom of the Opera, songs from
World War II and selections from
popular recording artists.
The choir will be led by Wade
Whittaker of Kintore in one of his
final performances with the choir.
Whittaker has been the director of
the Blyth Festival singers for the
past seven years and is completing
his work with the choir this year.
Sharon Johnston of Goderich is
the accompanist for the choir.
Grade 6 students in area schools
will be receiving the book Drug
Safety through the OPP Values,
Influences and Peers (VIP)
program.
Produced with assistance from
Gateway Safety Programs, Const.
Don Shropshall said the book will
be used as a classroom resource,
then given to each student to take
home and keep. "This way it will
not just educate the children, but
will be an aid for parents. It will
help them detect whether their
child is using drugs."
As the book offers information
about drugs, the types and their
effects, Shropshall said it outlines
specifics that parents can look for if
they are suspicious. In addition it
also covers the topics of alcohol
and abuse.
There are 20 questions for the
child to answer about alcohol and
another 20 about drugs. "It gives
them a better understanding of the
drugs available and of what they
can do," said Shropshall.
Program Co-ordinator Rosette
Power said the book also comes
with a classroom poster to help
children identify drugs so they can't
be fooled.
She said that in addition to
Along with the musical
entertainment, special readings
from the upcoming season's plays
at the Blyth Festival will be read by
actor Eric Coates and friends.
Coates is well known for the
critical and audience approval he
received at Blyth in such
productions as Barndance Live and
the Melville Boys.
Tickets for the concert may be
purchased in advance or at the
door.
As well, the Blyth Centre for the
Arts will be offering a delicious
supper menu for an additional cost.
This fundraising meal will feature
salad, lasagna, breads and desserts.
For information on the concert
and supper tickets call the Blyth
Festival Box Office at 523-9300 or

Studios, Wingham; Campbell's

Store, Clinton; Nifty Corners,
Seaforth.
learing more about the drugs
themselves, the students are also
taught how to "say no". "In much
of the feedback coming from
children involved in the program,
the methods for saying no have
been stressed as being the most
important aspect of the book," she
said.
Power will be visiting businesses
and service clubs in the hope of
obtaining sponsors. While the
books are funded through
community support, Shropshall
said that each Grade 6 student in
every county school will be
receiving a book. "It is something
for them to keep, to fall back on
when they need to."
Noting that several communities
had already shown "overwhelming"
interest, Shropshall stressed that the
OPP are "very much in support of
the program."
