SDHS gives Shakes
There's some Shakespeare with a
modern twist on stage in Seaforth
this week.
It is a play called Lord, What
Fools! by David Pody, based on
Shakespeare's A Midsummer
Night's Dream, that is being put on
by the Seaforth District High
School Drama Club, who staged it
last Friday and Saturday at the
Crossroads Drama Festival at Blyth.
Showtime is 8 p.m. on the local
high school's stage Wednesday and
Thursday, with a 9 p.m. start Friday
after the Christmas parade.
The scene is set with teenagers on
the way to a school dance. A
character named Peter Punker gets
things going by using his magic to
create love spells and mixing up
partners. The play was chosen by
the student body at SDHS who read
it in English and drama classes and
picked it over other options.
English and drama teacher, and
drama club organizer Jennifer Ray
says it's a "hilarious slapstick with
good character work" that lasts
about 50 minutes, and club
members have been working on it
since the start` of October but
putting in eight to 10 hours for each
of the last couple of weeks in
preparation. The quality of their
production will be enhanced by a
brand new lighting system, bought
with the aid of a provincial
government grant.
Members of the SDHS drama
club are Becky Hunt, Michael
Mullin, Lindsey Seymour, Jared
Gowan, Ron Streutker, Dana
Dalton, Darren Hemingway, Jamie
Dick and Tama Smith.

Christmas Bureau
BY GREGOR CAMPBELL
Expositor Staff
The Huron County Christmas
Bureau is gearing up for another
holiday season. Donation week here
is from Dec. 5 to 9.
Brian and Laura Crawford of
Dublin are co -managers locally. She.
says she had no idea there was such
a thing as a Christmas Bureau when
she first got involved in the annual
charity campaign, which dates back
35 years, last season. k
"It was my Christmas," Mrs. '
CraV'fdrtl says; "We rMallj enjoyed '
it but we're doing it earlier this
time, so maybe we can catch up on
our sleep."
County organizers describe the
Bureau as a little like a community
bank, you put in when times are
good and you take out when times
are tough. Everyone is welcomed to
use the service who needs to.
Last year 57 families and ' 138
children had their Christmases made
a little brighter by the Seaforth
Bureau. The figure is closer to
1,000 children for Huron County.
"It's not for foster children but
for people whose budgets can't
stand the strain of Christmas
shopping," says County Co-
getrordinator i Alia., Maaskant.
tteferraJs Chat it,B¢�ty, D2 rell
of the Huron County hildren's Aid
Society who urges those who can't
find a way to ,fit holiday expenses
into their budget to call her at 524-
1541 before Nov. 25.
helps children
Families are given one gift, one
clothing item per child under the
age of 16 and a food voucher
redeemable at a local grocery store
to make a Christmas meal.
A new wrinkle this time around is
an attempt to better match
donations to needs, called "The
Giving Tree". In Seaforth it will be
in the offices of Deloitte & Touche,
at 64 Main St. S, where those who
wish to donate can pick a tag from
the tree that describes what is
wanted in general terms , for
ins by, 13, sm011;
e kg %ya pped gifts,
perhaps b4used goods (no old
chesterfields, thank you) and non-
perishable food items, are to be
located at Bethel Bible, Church,

Local Beaver
colonies head to
SkyDome
On Saturday, Nov. 26, members
of the First Seaforth and First
Cromarty Colony will be travelling
to the Skydome for a weekend
celebration of 25 years of Beavers
in Canada. There will be groups
from all over the province attending
this event with an estimated attend-
ance of 10,000 Beavers and adults.
Activities will include songs, crafts,
games, a performance by Eric
Nagler and, probably the most
exciting part for the boys, sleeping
on the field where the Blue Jays
play baseball. The planning for this
event began over a year and half
ago.
The First Seaforth contingent will
be meeting at St. James School at
6:45 on Saturday, Nov. 26. Parents
and leaders will drive the boys to
Stratford where they will board a
bus with other participants from
Perth DistrictScouting. The group
is expected to return to Scaforth
around 4 p.m. on Sunday.
which is having its own drive
within a drive, and at numerous
Main Street businesses. Mrs.
Crawford, local co -manager, says
gifts of new clothing or toys would
be particularly appreciated. She
adds the Christmas food voucher
for registered recipients is for $25,
with $10 added for each additional
child.
Churches and Children's Aid
began the county Christmas Bureau
in 1963, and the agency was
charged with the responsibility of
ensuring confidentiality for families
,needing assistance and co-
ordinating the project. There are
five Christmas Bureaux in the
county, elsewhere at Clinton,
Goderich, Exeter and Wingham.
Farm tax seminar
