Keith and Gloria Wilbee, Walton, Ontario are the young couple which forms Generation II. Both have years of experience in the music business. Keith is the son of Ian Wilbee and played saxophone with his parents' band for many years and often played drums for other bands if they needed someone for an evening. His wife Gloria sang for a Stratford band The Tee Keys in the 70s. She has appeared on local stations C.K.N.X. Wingham's Circle 8 Ranch and C.K.C.O. Kitchener's children's program Tree House and recorded an album in 1978 at Mercey Brothers Studio. Her single from that album, 1 Like Country, a song Gloria wrote, was played across Canada. She has sung for the family band for the last 13 years. Keith and Gloria are the second generation of a family that has played in this local area since 1958. "Music is a family business that we are very proud of, we think people still appreciate live music, and we would like to carry on our family tradition," they say. Keith and Gloria have used com- puter technology to create a pro- fessional sound combined with live instruments and vocals. "We hope our music has somethingto satisfy Ketth and Gloria WIIbee of Walton all ages and are available for wed- 6482. The band will be playing at dings, anniversaries and buck and Walton Community Hall on April does". For bookings call (519) 887- 29.

Last Tuesday Council unanimously upheld a recommendation from the Seaforth Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) to deny an application from the bank "to install new interior box lit plastic sign (including new box and sign front)" replacing its old sign of the same type.

The Minister of Finance was among the applicants for the bank's new sign so the local LACAC directed secretary Cathy Garrick to write him a letter indicating that "the Ministry of Finance should be honouring the policies and programs of the Ministry of Culture". Seaforth Council passed _ with LACAC's approval and consent an McIver for consulting with it prior to carrying out renovations, and commented: "The application was to winterize the existing porch and to install a two-piece bathroom...(and) new . windows would be installed. Chair Walter Armes, who had met with the contractor on site, reported the porch is an addition to the original structure, and is wholly to the rear of the house, and therefore should not be of concern to the Committee as it will not effect the reasons for designation."
