Temperatures increase dangers of water EXETER - Present forecasts are calling for +5 degrees C for the weekend and a chance of showers on Monday. With these mild tem- peratures, snow melt will cause in- creased flows in streams and rivers, particularly by Monday. With ice thickness being ex- tremely variable on rivers and smaller streams being either filled with ice. snow and water or having snow covered banks, children should be advised to stay away from watercourses. The temptation to stray too closely to watercourses may be particularly great when children are on the March break holidays. Remember, we often get into trouble in places we are most famil- iar. Keep on guard and if you hap- pen to fall into the chilly waters: call for help, try to grab onto a tree Exeter Seniors EXETER - The seniors held the March meeting at the Legion Hall at 6 p.m. with a pot luck supper.

Blyth Festival Singers to perform Easter concert EXETER - The Blyth Festival Singers will be presenting a con- cert of seasonal music for Holy Week and Easter at the Exeter United Church on April 8, 1995. Exeter United Church is pleased to present this special concert. It is one of three perfor- mances that the Blyth Festival Singers will be presenting in Hu- ron County during the Easter sea- son. The Exeter concert will be highlighted by the performance of 'The Crucifixion' by John Stainer. Subtitled "A Meditation on the Sacred Passion of the Holy Redeemer," this passion story is told by the choir and ten- or soloist John De Jagar of Gode- rich. The program will also include a selection of other traditional and contemporary compositions, from 'Behold the Lamb of God' from Handel's 'Messiah," to 'A Fourth African Trilogy'. The stately tempo of the Handel piece provides an interesting contrast to the rhythms of 'A South Afri- can Trilogy,' which includes three pieces from a collection "Songs of Protest and "Praise from South Africa." The music speaks of the political climate of ouch Africa, but carries the uni- ersal statement, "We are march- ing in the light of God." Blyth Festival music director Wade Whittaker of Seaforth, has selected an eclectic variety of music to complement 'The Cru- cifixion' for this concert. The various pieces of music aim to inspire reflection, celebration and praise, as well as comment on the struggle for peace and freedom throughout the world. For ticket information call 235- 0860.
