Andrew Stearn has created with the aid of a rotating set an exciting design which features a railway station, a farmhouse, a schoolyard and many other different scenes. Lesley Ballantyne, who stars as Anne in "Anne of Green Gables" says "the set is technically quite com- plicated but it's a lot of fun to work on. The set turns very slowly in some scenes and remains stationary in others." The revolving part of the set measures 24 feet in diameter. "This will probably be our most com- plicated set of the season", says Pro- duction Manager Ray Salverda. "Our carpenters. props department, scenic artists and designers will be very busy building the town of Avonlea in only 10 days".

Julian Bayley and Bill Taylor. part- ners in Pineridge Barbecue Com- pany , can prepare a barbecue dinner for a private party of 30 or a crowd of 2,000 or more. They can cook the lood right at the event, or pack it in insulated containers and rush it to their customers. The heart of the operation is a semi - automated, stainless steel, mobile barbecue cart that allows one man to cook 220 half chickens, 440 one -inch pork chops or steaks. 200 back ribs or 1180/hamburgers at one time. it can also be used for lamb. sausage. duck. turkey and barbecued beef. Inside the cart. stainless steel wire baskets carry the meat slowly over hardwood charcoal, automatically dipping the meat in a special sauce on each rotation. The sauce is a secret recipe which comes in packages from an American supplier, and is mixed with water before being added to the cater cart. One formula is used for pork chops, and another for beef and poultry. "If Colonel Sanders had had our sauce. he would have been a general", Taylor remarked with a grin. The new service will be offered to fund-raising groups such as churches. schools. fire departments, lodges, clubs and service organizations on a wholesale or full meal basis for pic- nics, fairs. exhibitions and similar functions. The company is quite flexible, will- ing to provide only meat or complete dinners. Bayley and Taylor set up their cater cart on the grounds of the Hensall Community Centre on Satur- day. in (he morning they cooked 150 chicken halves and delivered them to the Wesley Willis United Church Men's Club in Clinton for a fund- raising dinner. (The Club is raising money to send six Rovers and two leaders to Christchurch, New Zealand, next March to participate in celebrations marking the golden an- niversary of the Rovers' movement in Scouting. ) Declaring the chicken "fantastic: moist right to the bone", Rev. Jim Bechtel said Pineridge Barbecue Co. will be called in again for another.din- ner the club is organizing on July 25.

This fund- raiser is sponsored by Hensall Block Parents and the Hensall Cooperative Nursery School. The concept of a mobile barbecue catering service in this area originated in the fertile en- trepreneurial mind of Julian Bayley as an outgrowth of conferences hosted by Agripress. Bayley recognized the need for this type of service, and decided.to check into its feasibility. Bayley was joined by Bill Taylor. Variances Several minor variances were ap- proved by the Exeter planning ad- visory committee at their June 12 meeting. Among those were lot size reduc- tions approved for Olive Thomson. Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer Ferguson and Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Pfaff. They -were necessitated by the town open- ing up John St. E. for the new nurs- ing home.

As a result, a 25 -year-old Exeter man - has been charged with dangerous driving. having no in- surance and having an improper plate on the vehicle: who sold out his interests in Traylor Industries in April to partner Sam Taylor, and was willing to try "something different" after 15 years in the trailer business. Careful research convinced Taylor of the "tremendous potential for a service of this nature in the region". Business has been so brisk a second $20,000 cater cart is on order. Bayley and Taylor are now looking for a permanent location for their fledgling company. At present they are operating out of an office a1 Agripress, and using part of the advertising agency's warehousing space. The partners envision a per- manent club -house -type base with facilities adequate to provide a com- plete package to interested parties. As Pineridge Barbecue Co. con- tinues to grow, the appealing aroma of barbecued meat should become very familiar to area residents. okayed approved for Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wurm, 105 William Sl.. and Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Pfaff. 146 John St. E.

Secretary Brian Johnston was directed to write a let- ter to the applicants advising that an investigation of the matter is under- way and no decision will be made by the planning group until such time as they study is complete. The committee did advise that they will entertain any proposed commer- cial uses submitted by the applicants. A list of compatible commercial uses is being compiled by the planner. 1.
