This is one of the things the Toronto Percussion Ensemble showed Goderich students in grades seven and eight. This was the second performance in the Children's Fall Festival series sponsored by the Goderich Recreation Department. Approximately 300 children attend the performances that are held at different schools. The Toronto Percussion Ensemble con- sists of four musicians, all highly qualified, who play music from around the world, starting with the most simplistic forms of primitive drumming to the more com- plicated styles that can be found in classical music. The performers, Ken Erskine, Dave Campion, John Brownell and Brian John- son, all have college and university degrees and have played in an orchestra. When they performed for the students, the quartet explained to them how the different sounds were achieved. The students were also encouraged to participate by snapping fingers or clapping hands. The purpose of that exercise was to show the students that they can achieve various sounds within a group just by changing the pattern in which the sounds are made. Instruments displayed during the Toronto Percussion Ensemble's performance at Robertson School on Thursday, where many different drums, xylophones and an Africlan bell. The Goderich Rotary Club inducted two new members recently. Left to right are Past President Mac Campbell who performed the induction; new member Rick Pella, owner of Stiles Funeral Home; new member Jim Phillips, manager of the Bank of Commerce; and President Craig Cass.

This has resulted in establishing THE CENTRE IN THE SQUARE'S record for box office sales in the shortest time period. Of special interest is the fact that these two performances were sold out to Monthly Calendar subscribers only and there were no tickets available for the general public box office opening date of November 19. ANNE MURRAY performed at THE CENTRE IN THE SQUARE on November 28and29. ANNE MURRAY recently observed that her "time has come" but her career attests to the fact that she's been right in step all along. As the blond Canadian songstress enters her fifteenth year of music, she has collected 20 American chart hits, three Grammy Awards, 19 Juno Awards, six gold and two platinum albums in the U.S., and at- tracted countless devoted fans from Monte Carlo to Minneapolis. ANNE MURRAY'S first single, "Snowbird", launched her as a singer without stylistic bounds, scoring on the pop, country and adult contemporary charts, and earning her the first U.S. gold record ever awarded to a female Canadian artist. After sh string of hit singles, Anne won her first Grammy Award in 1974 for "Love Song," but it wasn't until after the birth of her first child in 1976 that the entire world began to sing along with her No. 1 hit songs. "My career never really took off until I got my life together," says Anne. ANNE attributes success to her insistence that her family come first, a policy which has given her the confidence and freedom that come from remaining faithful to one's beliefs. "I know that my fans want me to grow," she says, "but they also want me to remain ANNE HURRAY."

KITCHENER - The traditional version of THE NUTCRACKER, as performed by THE NATIONAL BALLET OF CANADA, will highlight the holiday season at THE CENTRE IN THE SQUARE from December 13 to 17. Come share the magic of THE NUTCRACKER...with dancing ginger - breads, funny snowmen, the Waltz of the Flowers and the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy. It's a wonderful, traditional version the entire family will enjoy because it is the most popular Christmas entertainment in the world. Sugar Plum Fairies, dancing gingerbread men, warrior mice - in short, THE NUT- CRACKER contains all the magical ingre- dients needed to make it a visually spec- tacular ballet. A further charm, of course, is the well-known and much -beloved music by Tchaikowsky. Although premiered in 1892, THE NUT- CRACKER did not achieve popularity until 1934. Thus, this seemingly entrenched Christmas tradition is only a scant 50 years old! However, the 50 plus productions of THE NUTCRACKER throughout the western world attest to its continued popularity. Celia Franca's version for THE NA- TIONAL is traditionally based. This lively, frequently humorous and always colourful ballet touches the heart of the child that lives within us all. THE NUTCRACKER has become a favorite with children since there are a great many children in the cast with whom they may identify; the leading character is a little girl, Clara; and of course, the story is crammed with fairy-tale fantasy. THE CENTRE IN THE SQUARE casting for the principal roles of the Sugar Plum Fairy/Snow Queen and Prince follows: December 13, 7:30 p.m., Veronica Tennant, Tomas Schramek; December 14, 7:30 p.m., Mary Jago, David Nixon; December 15, 7:30 p.m., Nadia Potts, Marco Pierin; December 16, 7:30 p.m., Cynthia Lucas, Raymond Smith; December 17, 2:00 p.m., Veronica Tennant, Tomas Schramek; December 17, 7:30 p.m., Yoko Ichino, Kevin Pugh. The ever -popular NUTCRACKER, as per- formed by TIM NATIONAL BALLET OF CANADA will be presented at THE CEN- TRE IN THE SQUARE from December 13 to December 17 at 7:30 with a matinee on December 17 at 2:00 p.m. FRIDAY DECEMBER 2, 1983 EVENING 6:00 NEWS 6:30 NBC NEWS 7:00 P.M.

Drama Club to present L'il Abner next week BY TERESA CANNON For over two months now, the GDCI Drama Club has been working hard to prepare for this year's major production, L'il Abner. Jim Keller has been cast in the lead role. L'il Abner has a universal appeal in that it is both a musical and a comedy. The town of Dogpatch, U.S.A., where L'il Abner lives, is in grave danger of being blown up by its own government unless the townsfolk can prove that it is absolutely necessary. While the whole town searches for something "necessary", Mammy Yokum, L'il Abner's mother, looks for a way for the beautiful Daisy Mae (played by Nisa Howe) to marry the semi -reluctant L'il Abner. In the meantime, Daisy Mae is pursued by the less -than -desirable Earthquake McGoon for the purpose of matrimony. As in the tradition of the Al Capp cartoon, good triumphs over evil and there are a thousand laughs to be had in between. Performances of L'il Abner will be held in the GDCI auditorium on Thursday, December 8 and Friday, December 9 at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, December 10 and Sunday, December 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available in advance at the Livery and at the high school from December 1 to 9 at noon until 1 p.m. Prices are $3.50 for adults, $2.50 for students and $1.50 for children (at the door, tickets will cost 50 cents more). New financial service to aid farmers is announced by Bank of Montreal vice was created as a result of suggestions from the Bank's Agricultural Advisory Panels, comprised of farmers and bankers. At the same time, Mr. Moncrieff said, farmers expressed the hope that the conve- nience of a revolving line of credit wouldnot lead to over -borrowing. "For thatreason," he said, "this new ser- vice will only be available to farmers in a sound financial position, with substantial equity in their operations and a strong cash flow." Mr. Moncrieff said the FirstBank Machinery Line of Credit illustrates the Bank's commitment to the farm sector and the ability to respond to its needs. A new financial service designed to aid many farmers in the purchase of machinery and equipment has been announced by Bank of Montreal. FirstBank Farm Machinery Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit that lets farmers pre -arrange financing, usually once each year, so that farm machinery or equipment can be purchased without undue delay. This service will allow farmers to con- fidently negotiate equipment trade-ins and to take advantage of special sale offers or seasonal discounts. Patrick Moncrteff, the Bank's Senior Manager for Agriculture, said the new ser-
