Graf has staged and designed these productions so that his cast will reflect their creative drama training. Gaslight Gaieties is an hour and a half `variety show which takes the audience, back to those halcyon days of sen- timental and unruffled placidness --the 1890's. The Gay Nineties, an era that embodies all the sentimental nostalgia of the "good old days", was a way of life for which many yearn when today's pace wearies them. The Audience is invited to hiss and boo at the villains and cheer for the heroes and heroines, even if they fumble their lines (in- tentionally, of course!), to thrill to the stirring dramatic recitations and to sigh with the rapture of the tender love scenes. The Lambton Youth Theatre is a dedicated troupe of pre -professional actors who perform for elementary school audiences as well as carrying a repertoire of family and children's entertainment to over 30 Southwestern Ontario communities. This spring, The Lambton Youth Theatre took its production of ' The Win- digo to well over' 5,000. children in 24 grade schools all over Lambton County. Under the ar- tistic direction of Werner L. Graf, they are currently travelling all over Southwestern Ontario taking a collection of Gay Nineties melodramas and monologues entitled Gaslight Gaieties, 'The Windigo, plus a twin -bill of children's par- ticipation plays by Isabelle Foord, The Beast In The Bag and Wild West Circus to community centres and provincial parks. " Werner L. Graf, who founded The Lambton Youth Theatre and has remained its Artistic Director for the eight years of its existence, is a man of many talents..

Mr. Graf is the grandchild of Max Graf, one of the most important musicologist music critics of the twentieth century and a legend in his own time, and the only child of Herbert Graf, who was Stage Director of the Metropolitan Opera Company for an un- paralleled 35 years and was one of the foremost operatic directors in the world having worked for every major opera company in the world. Mr. Graf has two music degrees from Indiana University, as well as graduate study at the University of Vienna, Vienna's State Academy of Music and the British Museum, London, England.

Hensall residents will still have to drive to get their drinks, Hensall council learned Monday night. R.J. Harris of the Liquor Control Board wrote council that the village does not qualify for a liquor outlet. Residents would have to continue to depend on outlets in Exeter and Zurich for their supply. Earlier in the ,year, Hensall council inquired whether an outlet could be opened in the village. Harris said part of the reason for the negative reply was the current restraint program. Towns larger than Hensall with outlets farther away have ap- plied for liquor stores to be opened in their municipality. These' areas will be given priority over the village, Harris wrote, In other business, council approved a $50 grant to the Blyth Centre for the Arts. Hensall has already donated funds to the Huron Country Playhouse. A bill from the village to Robert Baker for cutting grass was retracted after Baker appeared before council. He told council he was away at the time and was never notified that there had been any complaint. Reeve Harold Knight said the matter had not been handled diplomatically and in the future residents should be notified of a complaint so they could cut the grass themselves if they wanted to. F.D. Setterington of • Union Gas discussed with council the proposed location of ,a new gas main on Richmond Street South and Mill St. Council said the company should take the old line out, but Setterington ' said this would be expensive as the line ran under the sidewalk. Town foreman Lorne Archer said the line wasn't under the sidewalk. Setterington said the company would send a man up to definitely locate the line, and would be prepared to remove it if it wasn't under the Sidewalk.
