They visited many friends and relatives during their stay. One month was enjoyed with their son John and his wife •Colleen in Kamloops British Columbia. They spent an evening with Dr. and Mrs. Ivan Smillie and their • daughter Inez. Another month was spent with son Don and wife Olga as well as granddaughters Magan and Amy.

The Noakes spent a pleasant day in Carnrose with Dave and Karen Schurman, formerly of Hensall, several days with Joyce Sangster in Portage -la -Prairie, as well as two days with her cousins. During a brief stay at Campbell River, Leonard was lucky enough to land a large conoe salmon. A pleasant time was spent in Courtenay with the Hampshires who are former Hen- sall residents. They also visited Quadra Island and other points of interest. The couple said the scenery was beautiful, the people were friendly but it was 7000 miles travelled so Hensall looked very in- viting on their return. The Smillies asked to be remembered to all of their friends in Hensall. VISITS GRANDMOTHER Christie O'Neill of London visited recently with her garndmother. Audrey Christie of Hensall. Mrs. Christie accompanied her on her return to London and spent a few days there.

Does your local historical society need a guest speaker?'Would you like a kit on mak- ing pottery for your Grade 6 class? Or perhaps you need a story teller for your library. These are some of the many areas of in- terest that the new Huron -Perth Arts Coun- cil has under its mandate, which is the pro- motion and development of the arts in the Huron -Perth area. The Council grew out of a group called the Four County Arts Committee which ran a seminar on fund-raising for small arts organizations in the south-western Ontario region in 1985. The need for an ongoing organization to keep artists, educators, con- servors and arts administrators in touch with each other became very apparent. Out of this concern grew the idea for an area arts council which would not only promote arts awareness in Huron -Perth but also keep people in touch through a regular newsletter. The Huron -Perth Arts Council was formed in mid -1986 and plans were immediately made to start a long-range programme to rejuvenate and make available a large number of educational kits from Gallery Stratford for use in 11nrnn-Perth schools. The new Board of Directors also started a membership campaign and by fall '86 had sent out its first newsletter to the member- ship. The focus of the Council's activities presently centres around building member- ship in the organization, acquiring office space, and preparing the kits for use by schools, libraries and interested organiza- tions next fall. The kits' topics range from sculpture, architecture, posters and famous artists to a variety of ones on Canadian heritage and other cultures. Through its networking between artists and the community, the Arts Council will also be able to make arrangements for ar- tists and speakers to visit schools and ad- dress organizations in the area. News of various upcoming events in Huron -Perth is published in the Counc'il's newsletter and organizations are encouraged to let the Council know of exhibits and events that would be of interest to the membership and community. New members are very welcome to join the Arts Council and can receive informa- tion by phoning Karen Scott -Booth at the Gallery Stratford at 271-5271, or Lynda Lentz at the Blyth Festival 523-4345.
