Lions go to weekend convention
By Wilma Oke
Over 375 Lions Club
members and their wives
attended a two-day mini -
convention for District A9 in
Walkerton over the weekend.
District A9 stretches from
Ocarton in the north to
rangeville in the east, south
to Mitchell and Goderich with
Lake Huron on the west.
A new district governor
was acclaimed, Ron Finlay of
Orangeville who succeeds
Torry Ferrier of Walkerton.
Deputy governors elected
were Guy Gibbons of Wiarton
and Ted Heimpel of Mitchell.
Six zone chairmen were
elected, all acclaimed, except
in Zone A3 south where
Marlen Vincent of Seaforth
won over Jim Coulter of
Goderich. •
The other zone chairmen
are: A3 ::orth, Don White,
Kincardine; A3 east John
(Spike) Nichols of Palmer-
ston; A16 north, Alf Schultz of
Wiarton. A16 south, David
Jacobi of Walkerton; and
Gary Kingston of Rocklyn.
The major project in
District A9 during the past
year was the Leader Dog
program for the Blind when
almost$14,000 was raised.
Howard Henderson of Owen
Sound was authorized to
make an offer of purchase on
behalf of District A9 for the
71/2 acre Camp Oliver owned
by the County of Grey four
miles south-east of Durham.
Located in Glenelg
Township the former boys
corrective centre, contains a
number of buildings including
a house damaged in a $5,000
fire recently, a barn, a cot-
tage and an H -building with
kitchen, cafeteria,
classrooms and sleeping
rooms.
On the property also is a
log chapel, a fieldstone
barbecue and a baseball
diamond with backdrop.
As well as being used by the
Lions Clubs for a youth camp,
the public will be able to rent
the facilities and school
groups could use it too.
In 1979 the mini convention
will be held in Port Elgin.
At the dinner -dance
Saturday night, the guest
speaker was past Inter-
national director George
Kenien of Lebanon, New
York.
Walkerton Lions Club
hosted the event with
President Dave Jacobi and
his wife heading up the
committee in charge.
The wives of the Lions
members attended a lun-
cheon at the Hartley House in
Walkerton Saturday af-
ternoon.
A presentation was made
on the Ontario -Quebec
District A convention which
will be held at Bramalea-
Brampton area in May.
CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, APRIL 20,4978 -PAGE 23,
Blyth presents a variety of Cdn. plays
Four exciting new plays by
Ontario playwrights will be
presented in Blyth Summer
Festival's 1978 season.
Artistic director, James Roy,
has announced that Blyth's
fourth season will include The
Huron Tiger by Peter Colley,
His Own Boss by Keith
Roulston, The School Show by
Ted Johns and Gwendoline by
James Nichol, all especially
written for the Festival and
guaranteed to delight the
Western Ontario audience.
These plays, and a fifth yet to
be decided, will run in Blyth
Memorial Hall from July 7 to
September 2.
Tiger Dunlop, the
boisterous hero of rough and
tumble pioneer days, is the
subject of Peter Colley's
rollicking adventure, The
Huron Tiger, which opens the
season on July 7. "Tiger"
battles the Canada Company,
corrupt politicians, rebels
and his housekeeper, as he
carves Ontario out of the
bush.
His Own Boss by Keith
Roulston is the hilarious story
of the frustrations of a man
trying to mind his own small
business, in this case a cheese
factory. The rats that nibble
the cheese frequently have
two legs and government
credentials.
The School Show by Ted
Johns, well-known actor -
writer and veteran of the
Farm Show and He Won't
Come in from the Barn, joins
the Blyth Summer Festival
for an amusirig and in-
formative look at the
problems which led to the
teachers' strike in Huron
County. In his one man show,
Ted deals with the
provocative issue of what has
happened to education since
the days of the little red
school house.
Gwendoline is an intriguing
drama centered on a
fascinating heroine and the
dark forces of love and
jealousy. The author, James
Nichol from Paris, Ontario,
has had several works per-
formed on stage, radio and
television, throughout
Canada.
Admission to plays is: $3.75
for Adults; $3.25 for Senior
Citizens and $2.50 for
Children.
