The Board voted to support Stratford Council in bringing the Discovery Train to Stratford, September 4 to 9.. The Discovery Train, Mr. Eckert explained, is 'a project of the federal government. He said the train, acquired from the. American Freedom Train -Foundation will be a $3 million investment when completed and•will travel across Canadafor the next five years. Stratford is its second stop: Mr. Eckert .handed out a ;news release on the 15 - car tain which reports it to be the world's largest mobile museum designed by the National Museums of Canada as a.,major travelling :exhibition depicting the story .of Canada. He said the train can accommodate 1,000 visitors an hour, and it takes 36 minutes to see through it. The board members hope all the Grade 7 and 8 students in its 19 schools will visit the train as a "field trip", as their 'history and geography courses coincide more closely with the theme of the train. Transportation will be proyided by board owned buses where possible, with costs paid out of "field trip funds by each school". If these have already been spent, the board will vote on a motion tabled at the meeting to be brought Good BY JOANNE WALTERS Judy Savoy, the lively CFPL•weather girl, may have missed her calling. Her debut on the Huron County Playhouse stage for the opening of Parlour, Bedroom and Bath on Tuesday. evening, proved that she is just as comfortable performing before a live audience as she is before a television camera. Savoy is a natural on stage and the audience loved her. The saucy, Vivacious role of Polly Hathaway, a newspaper gossip columnist, seemed to suit her well. With a little Mae West thrown into her speech and a lot • of great line`s, Savoy had the audience rolling in the aisles. In fact, if the rest of the cast hadn't been so darn •good, you could almost' say she stole the show.

GODERICH Plgamu(f, I IIIt1"LtR Omlrtqui , NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE I hired a contractor to add an aluminum extension to my kitchen. He was supposed to get a work permit and told me that he had .obtained one but, after the work started, a stop work order was' issued and the con- tractor has disappeared. The fault was yours because you con- tracted for an aluminum porch, not an extended kitchen, , then apparently you contacted another contractor who tore out the back wall of your house, making the porch an extension, not a'porch, all this -of... course was NOT on the work permit. Hoyvever it now seems that all is well, as the right work permit has been issued so that your contractors can .now go ,"full speed ahead."

We ,shipped our goods via an overseas service in England, but when our stuff arrived we discovered that two of our boxes were missing. They were traced to South Afl ,ice and we assured that they would be sent to us Air Freight. Well, that's a year ago now and we're still waiting. The English company has finally in- formed us that you have at last received your missing boxes. They are full of 'apologies and claim that the delay was due to their South African Agent. They said that they had offered you a cash settlement some time ago, but that you had refused because you claimed that your goods were very personal and had a lot of sentimental value. Be a winner, advertise in IMPACT Last Christmas I bought my son 'a toy race track set. Welt it was no good because the rails wouldn't join together. The store where I bought it told me to send it to the manufacturers, Aurora Products. This I did, last January, but still nothing has been' done! I've written and told them to refund my money, but this demand too has been ignored. Can IMPACT help me, please? It seems that our reader's set was inadvertently set aside by an employeewho was supposed to ' test the repaired track. Well apparently he just, "up and quit", without any notice. Any* y it has, now been located, tested, and is on its way to our long awaiting reader, along with Aurora's apologies. r
