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.

"The final support price and the deficiency paymeht for the 1982-83 crop year will be announced in late fall. Pro- ducers will then receive a final payment based on the marketings of the entire crop year." Whelan said. "For the second con- secutive year. market prices for soybeans have been depressed and growers are experiencing poor cash flow. This advance payment will provide growers with some needed cash. Applications will be sent directly to Ontario producers using information supplied by the Ontario Soya -Bean Growers' Marketing Board. FOr producers in other pro- vinces. claim forms will be sent to those who applied under the 1981-82 Soybean Stabilization Program.
