Season -end
concert planned
The final concert for the
season of the Myth Festival
Singers will be presented on
Tuesday, June 2 at 8:15 p.m.
in the Blyth Memorial Hall.
The idea for a community
choir under the auspices of,
the Blyth Centre for the Arts
was conceived by the Cen-
tre's Board of Directors in
late 1979:The search for a
professional director led •
themlb Laurie ,Rowbotham
of ListoweL --A graduate in
choral direction from the
University of Western ' On-
tario, • Mr. Rowbotham
shares the ideals af the
Board in creating a choir
that will not only be a satis-
fying choral experience for
• its members but also for its
audience.
The growth of the choir
Since it began rehearsals in
September 1980 has been
beyond the most optimistic
estimates of its organizers.
From a first -night showing
of 66 people, its membership
has ,remained% over 80 all
season. The wide choice of
repetoire - from classics to
pop - • had • made the choir
popular for members. and
audience alike. Equally
satisfying to both groups is
the disciplined 'quality of the
work presented, a fact readi-
ly underlined by the sell-out
performances of the choir
this season. Mr. Rowbotham
in a recent interview
remarked that "the choir is
singing about five fillies
more capably than I ever ex-
pected it to at this point in its
developMent".
The choir rehearses every,
,MondayAightain the Blyth
Memorial Hall under Mr.
Rowbotham's direction and
with the capable accompani-
;tient of Mrs. JoAnne King of
Brussels. New members,
especially tenors and basses
are welcome to join the choir
in September. .
Enjoy an evening of choral
music for all tastes perform-
ed by residents from every
part of the county.
Refreshments will follow the
concert. Tickets 'are $3 for
adults, $1.50 for children
(especially welcorne! ), and
are available by phoning
ticket co-ordinator Mary
Sutter (482-3635), the box of-
fice (523-9300) or the Blyth
Sage (523-4331).

(county council.
As yet, the Qty of Strain
ford has made no decision
regarding the building of a
museum to. house the

Fish killed
LISTOWEL - "Thousands
and thousands" of small fish
were killed after a Mor-
nington Township farmer
dumped 25,000 gallons of pig
manure into the Nith River
near Hesson on May 5.
Ministry of environment
officials in London, who are
investigating the incident,
would not release the far-
mer's name pending further
investigition.
Officials used a liquid
diffuser for the first time in
North America in an effort to
save the fish, but were un-
successful, according to
Stewart Thornley, a regional
biologist with the ministry.
Re said the manure was a
five to 10 -mile "concentrated
sludge" running • from
Hessen where the farmer
pumped the manure, for his
holding lagoon, down to
Milbank. Estimates of fish
killed have ranged as high as
50,000 and included white
suckers, rock bass and
stream minnows.
"You could see crayfish
• crawling ia m the water on
to the shore and dying right
there," he said. "Fish were
jumping and leaping out of
wsteratialiVeannt-bsecure-
cur eyes."
