Canadian classic
at Blyth. theatre
The Innocent and the Just is
a suspense- filled drama.
A murder has been commit-
ted. Was it self defence? Was
it premeditated? .
In the suspense -filled
drama The Innocent and the
Just, which opens August 2 at
the Blyth Summer Festival,
the youngest son of a respec-
table small-town family is
charged with murder and the
family rallies to save its
name. When it is discovered
that the son's defense rests on
the testimony of the family's
simple servant, the reformed
alcoholic Bousille, the
members of the family take
desperate measures, each ac-
cording to his own degree of
religious conviction.
Under the pressure of the
murder charge and the im-
pending trial the otherwise
decent people . show
themselves to be capable of
treachery and hypocrisy.
The Innocent and the Just is
a Canadian classic which has
been performed over 600
times on stage and has also
appeared on CBC TV. For the
Blyth Summer Festival pro-
duction artistic director Janet
Amos brings talent from
across the country together
with young local actors.
Rick Martin, a native of
Lucknow is sharing the part
of the bell -boy with Chris
Royal from Blyth. Heather
Ann Stapleton from Auburn is
understudying the part of
Colette.
Enjoy The Innocent and the
Just through to its surprise
erding in the air-conditioned
Blyth Memorial Hall. The In-
nocent and the Just plays
from August 2 to August 20.

established county school
boards.
But in North Easthope
Township, citizens wanted to
keep the one -room
schoolhouse in its original
form. They kept is that way
and the museum officially
opened on July 6, 1969.
The North . Easthope
Historical Society operates
the museum with the
guidance of Perth County ar-
chivist Jim Anderson. Under
his direction the Brocksden
school has retained its
original exterior of boards
and battens painted grey with
black trim.
Built in 1853 for 100 pounds,
the school is continually being
renovated both inside and out.
The interior of the building
brings back many memories
of days spent in school. A
wood stove (not the original)
surrounded by rows of school
desks with the legendary ink
wells, first greet the visitor.
