Alexis Hauser These musicians were augmented with part- time musicians to create the large or- chestra. In addition to serving the people of London, the Orchestra expanded its perfor- mance activities to include communities throughout Southwestern Ontario. In 1981, Maestro Alexis Hauser, who has been praised for his dynamic style of con- ducting, became Music Director. It was by his suggestion that the London Symphony Orchestra became Orchestra London Canada in the summer of 1981. The following summer, Orchestra London was selected to represent Canada at the Musicarchetettura Festival in L'Aquila, Ita- ly. That year was the first that this festival was devoted entirely to the arts, music and architecture of a foreign nation. The second concert in this series will also be at the G.D.C.I. auditorium on Saturday, March 1, 1986. It will feature Richard Hayman, of the Boston Pop Orchestra, con- ducting Orchestra London in a salute to the great dance bands of the Swing -era, musih from the 40s and Glen Miller. This concert played to a full house at Lord Thompson Hall in Toronto recently. The Goderich Rotarians are proud to be able to present this concert as part of its concert series. The third and final concert will take place at North Street United Church on Saturday, April 5th and will feature Quintessence. This string quartet with guitar combines ver- satile musical talents with wit and humor on stage. • Anthony Flint and Julian Knight bring their classical violin and viola -playing skills together with a bent for the hilarious; Juno award-winning Lenny Solomon contributes a musical style that ranges from jazz and country to classical. Jose Shapero moves easily from a jazz `walking bass' on his cello to the classical and romantic repertoire; Bill Bridges who .provides Quintessence ' with miUClh ,l' its Roost ►Jular material, demonstrates remarkable virtuosity on ban- jo, acoustic and electric guitar. This winter series promises to be a real winner. With a range of music from classical to jazz to country. This year series tickets go on sale Oct. 15th for adults $25.00 and a special student rate of $15.

The gymnasium is part of the 1966 addi- tion to the school built by a Kitchener com- pany, Snider Huget and Marsh. In a report made by architects Brian Gar - rat of Kyles, Kyles and Garrat, the Huron County Board of Education was informed at its Oct. 6 meeting that the initial brick work was halted at the end of July because workers found that the deteriorating brick was extensive. Workwill be done this weekend at Robert- son School to replace ceiling tiles loaded with amphibole asbestos discovered in studies initiated by the Huron County Board of Education- hired architects Kyles, Kyles and Garrat. Certain amounts of asbestos were found in several other county schools. The asbestos will also be eliminated in due time. Brian Garrat reported to the board at its regular monthly meeting Oct. 6. Robertson was termed the most serious case of all of the schools because its corridor ceiling tiles contain the -most dangerous - asbestos. particles, called amphibole. Am- phibole particles are the smallest of all asbestos fibres. They measure about five one -thousands of a millimetre in size. It's time for another garbage contract for the town of Goderich, but it could be a pro- blem to supply continuous garbage pickup until the new contract gets final approval. The collection of Goderich trash is an ongoing service the municipality has no choice but to provide. Still, it was the feeling of town administrator Larry McCabe at Monday evening's regular council session, that while tenders can be prepared, called and opened by the present council, the bid can only be accepted conditional upon On- tario Municipal Board (OMB) approval since the contract will run beyond the two year term of couneil. 25 YEARS AGO The Sudbury Garson Combines proved to be no match for the classy Goderich Dodgers as the latter team white -washed the northerners by a 18-0 score on Thanksgiving day to take the OASA in- termediate ladies' softball championships. Matron of the Huron County Home near Clinton for the past 33 years, Martha Jacob tendered her resignation at a special meeting of the County Home Committee on Tuesday. A money by-law will go to a vote of Goderich ratepayers at the municipal elec- tions in December for approval or rejection of the town providing $125,000 towards the cost of a new addition to Alexandra Marine and General Hospital. • Another major paving project is to be undertaken in Goderich shortly when Huron Road, often criticized for its roughness will be given a smooth surface. 40 YEARS AGO Mr. and Mrs. E.R. Weston received word that their son, warrant officer Richard Ver- dun Weston R.C.A.F., was officially killed in active service. A tourist imformation booth in Court I ?ark was officially opened. This was antral project of the Goderich board of ti '.eslie Riley, the young war veteran in charge („ t he booth, was kept busy with inquiries, mainly for rooming and accom- modation. Among those returning from service overseas were Nursing Sister Agnes Camp- bell, Sgt. Elmer Fisher, Lieut. Kenneth Hunter, Sgt. Hector Kingswell, Sgt. Ralph Kingswell and Liet Cpl Donald Thompson. 75 YEARS AGO In this season of uncertain weather, the pastor and congregation of St. Joseph's Church, Kingsbridge have good reason to congratulate themselves on the day selected for the opening of their new church, Sunday Oct. 15, for the weather was certainly must favorable, allowing people to attend from great distances. Father McCormick con- ducted the serstice. Pat Farr is opening a new grocery store on Hamilton Street. The past few days, large quantities of earth have been added to the pile on Squaw Island, the big shovel having kept three trains on the move all of the time. 0
