Quiet in the Land by Anne Chislett opens the season on July 3 and tells the story of an Amish family near Kit- chener at the time of the First World War. The play uses songs, sayings and ® ceremonies of the Amish people to paint a portrait of a gentle and often misunderstood people.

Fire on Ice opens August 4 and tells the legend of Howie Morenz, the Mitchell -born hockey star who made his way to the Hockey Hall of Fame play- ing for the Montreal Cana - diens. The final two plays of the season are a little more cur- rent in perspective.

The season will close with, the return of a hit from the 1977 season, Ted Johns' He Won't Come In From the Barn which opens August 25.

YWCA canvass Hors es tred A goal of raising $17,000. was set by members of the Maitland Conservation Foundation at their Annual Meeting on May 7 at the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority's ad- ministration office in Wroxeter. This is the amount required to retire the debt on the Wawanosh Lake property, located in West Wawanosh. Raising of funds for this project was begun in 1978 and to date the Foun- dation has been successful in raising $7,800. in addition to the $25,000. raised by the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Following approval of the minutes of the Foundation's last meeting, additional funding targets for 1981-82 were discussed. Donations toward: the acquisition of significant natural areas, the continuation and further development of a Con- servation Education program and preservation of our cultural and historical heritage, were cited as the main objectives for the Foundation. The need for a concerted effort in promoting the Foundation, its purpose and objectives was also discussed and plans put in gear to inform residents and businesses of the watershed as to just what the Foundation is all about. Other business at the meeting included the elec- tion of the Board of Directors for the 1981 year. They are as follows: Jack Graul (Chairman); Vince Judge (Vice -Chairman); Dave NEED To KNOW S0METNING ABOUT YOUR NEW COMMUNITY?

Discussion over the Foundation's progress to dateiaised some feelings of concern because of the slow process involved in reaching their T rgets. While the in- dividual members indicated that they often find it dif- ficult to go on a door to door campaign, the chairman pointed out that if they were not together as a Foun- dation, there would be no donations at all, and that some of the areas in which the Foundation has been active in raising funds for may have been left un- protected. While there are some companies and individuals who are able and may wish to make a sizeable donation, the members agreed that the amount of the donation is not the important item. It was agreed that a tax receipt would be t s ed to all donations of $5.00 or more. In addition to cash donations by Foundation actively seeks donations of conservation artifacts and antiques which can be appraised and a tax receipt issued. CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1981—PAGE 23 de t All members in attendance agreed, that, while the tasks ahead of them will require some patience and a great deal of dedication, co- operation will mean the success in reaching their objective.

Big Sisters coming EXETER - A Big Sisters organization in Exeter is expected to became a reality sometime this summer. At the annual meeting of the South Huron Big Brothers Association, outgoing president Jim Chapman said that he was optimistic that approval for the new branch would be caning within a couple of months. A survey taken has shown that there are at least 40 young girls who could use the service and about 20 ladies have shown interest in becoming Big Sisters. Mr. Chapman hopes that when Big Sister approval is received, a joint organization could be for- med. He added, "Big Brothers of Canada were in town a few weeks ago doing an evaluation of our work and I am optimistic that they will give us approval to add Big Sisters."
