Craftspeople wanted
The hunt is on for fine quality craft-
speople who would like to take part in
a quality craft sale to be held at Blyth
Memorial Hall on June 28. This one -
day event, organized by the visual
arts committee to support the opera-
tions of the Blyth Festival Gallery, is
intended to provide a showcase for
some of the many talented artisans
working in our region. There wilt be
demonstrations of techniques and a
fine array of different crafts
displayed on the lawn and in the base-
ment of the hall.
The long term goal of the commit-
tee is to develop the craft show into
a major annual exhibition and sale.
This year's show is a first step, and
for that reason it will be a small one.
The space is limited. Craftspeople
will be carefully pre -selected by the
committee on the basis of variety and
excellence in design and skill.
Preference will be given to regional
artists.
Like any first step, it is an exciting
gamble. Brigitte Wolf. co-ordinator of
the event, knows how to make a new
Venture like this a success. She helped
to organize a farmer's market in New
Brunswick that has become a feature
of life there. A craftswoman herself,
Brigitte is sensitive to the'tieeds of
both the area artists and the com-
munity. "I can see a place for a well -
organized craft fair in Blyth. The fact
that there are no other major fairs at
that time, just when the summer
holidays are beginning, ought to make
it an attractive event for everyone."
The Blyth Festival Gallery extends
an invitation to all crafts people to
apply for a place in this exciting first
show. Applications are now available.
Submissions will be accepted until
May 1. Forms will be sept on request
(a self-addressed, stamped envelope
is required). If you are interested in
exhibiting or volunteering to_help with
the event, please contact either

ed the C.G.I.T. in the Bird Dance. It
was hilarious!
Asa Deeves and Helen Rivers both
of the Rest Home, won the prize for
the most green. To bring the party to
a close the C.G.I.T. shared a snack of
green punch and cheesies with us. We
had a wonderful time, and we sincere-
ly hope you girls will come back again
soon!

Everyone had a good time. Bingo is

Dear Friends of UNICEF,
On behalf of the Ontario UNICEF
Committee, I wish to thank all the
people in Ontario who supported
UNICEF this past year. Through the
Halloween collection, generous dona-
tions and thoughtful Purchases of
UNICEF cards and gifts, UNICEF
Ontario realized over $2 million to
help the world's children.
The success of our 1985 Campaign
was due in no small way to the many
volunteers who gave their time and
enthusiasm to our organization. This
was complemented by the warm
response UNICEF received from the
media in Ontario.
Nineteen eighty six will mark the
launch of a major initiative on the
part of the United Nations Children's
Fund (UNICEF) - universal child im-
munization by 1990. Using simple
cost-effective vaccines i,t IS possible
to eradicate the six major child -
killing and disabling diseases -
tetanus, measles, polio, tuberculosis,
diptheria, and whooping cough. New
technologies and methods of delivery
of the vaccine, and the commitment
of individuals to drastically reduce
child deaths.
This year, UNICEF also celebrates
its 40th anniversary in providing
water, nutrition, education and health
care to the millions of children whose
lives are in jeopardy. The role of the
Canadian public and government in
extending these basic services to the
world's children has been and con-
iinues to be both substantial and
important.
In our campaign messages we urge
Ontarians to "Give the Children A
Tomorrow". Your assistance over the
past year has done just that for hun-
dreds of thousands of children. May.
I extendthanks on, behalisol 'these..
