forthcoming retirement.
Mr. Coulter has been a
Superintendent of
Education with the Huron
County • Board.of
Education ' since its in-
ception. Prior to this
assignment, he served as
a Public School Inspector
in the Goderich area.
A delicious, roast beef
dinner was served by the
Saltford Valley Ladies'
Auxiliary.
Highlights of Mr.
Coulter's ,_ career were
presented in music and
verse by a group of his
associates. This talented
group ;entitled, "Helen

Helen Videan, helped
recall ` milestones and
personal moments of his
career for the people
present.

Meanwhile, the group
is not giving up its public
engagements. The
members spend a lot of
time keeping up ; their
musical material and
working on their live
sound. They feel that live
sound is important
whether they are playing
from inside .a tent, a
dance hall or a gym-
nasium.
In the near future there
are plans for releasing
another single and
sometime later another
album with more original
music on it.
