Theatre company premieres its first production. Rob- ertson Davies' Overlaid and Eros at Breakfast at the' Ausable Centre on Friday. . The two plays, written in the• 1940s, will not be performed any- where else in the region, a fact that works into the Ausable Theatre's unofficial mandate to first feature plays that aren't put on elsewhere and secondly produce locally .writ- ten plays when they are made avail- able. "I'll keep an eye out for. them," Ausable Theatre artistic director Jeff Culbert said. Culbert, a Lucan native, will di- rect Eros and will play Pop in • Overland. Both plays are short comedies. Overlaid is set in rural Ontario and -tells the story of a showdown be- tween a cranky retired farmer and . his long-suffering daughter. Eros is set inside the solar plexus of a 21 -year-old man who's falling in love. - Culbert said Overlaid was Can- ada's most popular play throughout the 'SOs and both it and Eros won . the Dominion Drama Festival in '47 and '48 respectively. Though best- known as one of Canada's best novelists, Davies first found prominence -as a play- wright, penning 10 plays before publishing his first novel. . Culbert is excited about bringing theatre to his hometown and wants to put Lucan on the summer theatre festival map alongside the Huron Country Playhouse. and festivals in Blyth. Drayton and Port Stanley. "We're trying to get into that cir- puit," he said. Overlaid and Eros will run to- gether on. June 19.21 and June 26- 28.

"I still don't like the fact that we don't have equal representation;" said Reeve LaPorte at Thursday's council meeting. "They (the Town- ship of Hay) want us to pay 55 per cent of the operating costs without having equal. representation.. We are not asking to have any say on the operating expenses of the land- fill site." Zurich pays for over half of the site's operating_ costs while Hay picks up the remainder of -the tab by contributing 45 per cent. • "i think we should push a little harder...it just :doesn't seem right," said LaPorte. "They said they want to he fair about 'it hut nothing has changed." Except for councillor Brad •Clausius, council remained rel- atively quiet.on the issue. "I don't know whether it is worth fighting for another vote." Clausius said. The issue of pursuing more rep- resentation on the landfill hoard was left unresolved by council.
