T -A photo 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 Brigitte Wolf, RR 3 Lucknow, NOG 2R0 at 519-529-7007 or The Blyth Festival.

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.. children and the UNICEI" volunteers in Ontario. In our campaign messages we urge Ontarians to "Give the Children A Tomorrow".
