Ravel's "Pavan or a Dead
Princess" offered a change of -
pace. Many solo •insttlhrnents
such as harp, oboe, and French
horn were featdred to good ef-
fect, demonstrating Ravel's
genius at rewriting ftr or-
chestra a piece he had
originally composed • for piano.
Murmurs of recognition
-passed through the audience as
the opening bars of the - "Em-
peror Waltz" by Str:iuss were
played. In the tradition of the
Viennese waltz the conductor
retained the effective pauses
,►nd• tempo changes which
characterize this tyke of Music.
The -finale to the evening was•
an 'ambitious- attempt at
Tscrfiikovsky's -- apriccio

well -performed, there were
several -instances of muddy en-
semble playing and overly-
cautiousas;olos in this rather dif
ficult work.
The evening was a success.
The thanks of the audience go
to the Sully Foundation which
provided the financial support for this venture. The response
of Goderich citizens shows that
the Rotary Club of Goderich
should have confidence to con-
tinue its efforts at encouraging
the arts. Next year - two con-

MEET THE TEACHER
MRS. BARBARA LIVERMORE
Mrs. Barbara Livermore was
born in Clinton, and grew up
on a farm near Brucefield. She
attended elementary school at
S.S. 10 Stanley Township, and
secondary school in Clinton, at
Central i-Iuron Secondary
School: After attending Lon-
don Teachers'. College, her first
year teaching` was in- Exeter,
with a grade 2 class. She
taught grade 3.at Stephen.Cen-
tral School the fol -lowing year,
and for the past two,,years, has

tors .and actresses along with
the Playhouse favourites from
last season. Organizers hope
that the kinds of plays "and
players lined up combined with
the low ticket prices and the
--new - improved facilities will
make the Playhouse 'one_ of the
area's most popular entertain-
ment spots. -
One of the most important
events in the short history of
the Playhouse, as seen bar• its
'originators, was Ole successful
bid for a Federally sponsored
Local Initiatives Grant. The
grant will put 10 persons to
work over .a five , month period
on projects of renovation for
the facilities. •
"By the time.the 1973 season
opens, we hope to have accom-
• plished these things," Benson
Tuckey; chairman of the Board
of Trustees explained, "a recon-
ditioned barn with. new k bby,
bar and refreshment facilities,
a gift boutique, a new expanded
art exhibit area, and above all,
new public rest room facilities,
a reconditioned drive shed
housing new offices, ticket of-
fice and dormitory, a face lift
for the old farm house with imp
pro"vements in the kitchen and
bathroom facilities."
The Government Grant is ex-
pressly to create jobs and pay
workers' salaries so building
materials must come fronf
other sources. To this end the
playhouse has purchased a
nearby barn and materials
from it are being used in the
theatre renovations.
William Heinsohn, Fund
Raising chairman, points out
however that this does not
provide all the materials
needed and particularly those •
required in the installation of
the public rest rooms. "For
that end it is imperative," he
said, "that we launch the 1973
fund .raising campaign at
once."
Bean Co-op plans

The Ontario Bean Growers'
Co-opdrative plans to erect a
$500((100 processing plant near
Seaforth, according to Charles
-Rau, RR 2 Zurich, Huron
County director of the co-op.
Mr. Rau wade the statement
to clarify recent news stories
which suggested that the plant

Loan, he said.
- The proposed plant will have
an initial c•apac•ity of 100,00
cwt., or top duction of about
8,000 acres. 'apacity can be
doubled by adding storage
facilities.
The plant will be erected just
