This is made possible. by a template that fits over.. the ballot, per- mitting the blind elector, or one with very poor eyesight,- to mark the ballot without assistance. The system results from discussions held last year between the officials of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind _ and the Chief Electoral Officer, Jean -Marc Hamel. The CNIB estimates there are some 33,000 blind persons in Canada who are eligible to vote in the federal election. The Canada Elections Act previously permitted the blind and other physically incapacitated persons to receive assistance in voting, either from• a friend or from the Deputy Returning Officer. This privilege is still in force, The new procedure provides an option: When a blind voter wishes to exercise the option, the Deputy Returning Officer will' place the ballot under the template. The circles opposite the names of candidates on the ballot If you're 'NEW IN TOWN and don't know which way to turn, call the r�W��]o hostess et 524-4616 You'll be glad you did. 4 are' aligned with cut-out circles on the template. The voter, if he so wishes, may obtain the order of the names on the ballot from the Deputy Returning Officer. The template was used in last fall's federal b'y- elections, and has been adopted for 'use in' provincial elections by Alberta and British Columbia. Ontariohas implemented a slightly different process, but one designed for the same objective -- 'to allow blind voters to cast ballots in secret without help from • others. BY CATH WOODEN Once again, G.D.C.1. has presented Goderich with a first class musical production. Opening Thursday, May 10 it played to an audience of 161: 'Godspell" is a musical based upon the gospel according to St, Matthew, Its script calls for heavy cast interpretation, improvisation, and above all, sensitivity. The cast's presentation of the music was adequate, considering the usual high school auditorium accoustics. It featured a few out- standing numbers. Donnybrook ladies meet The May meeting of Donnybrook U.C.W. met at the home of Mrs. Edward Robinson > on Tuesday evening, May 8 with ten members present. Mrs. H. Jefferson opened the meeting with a reading on "Mothers". The hymn, Happy the Home When God is There, was sung followed by the Lord's Prayer said in unison. Mrs. Luba Weber gave a Mother's Prayer. Mrs. H. Jef- ferson gave a reading bn Mother's Love, followed by a poem, Mother's Day by Luba Weber. Mother's Buying Love was given by Mrs. H. Jefferson. The hymn, Saviour Breathe an Evening Blessing, was sung. Mr's. H. Jefferson took the business part of the meeting. Mrs. S. Chamney gave the quarterly report. The hymn, Now be With us for the Night is Closing, was sung followed with the closing prayer. Mrs. M. Wilson and Mrs. Wm. Hardy assisted the hostess" for a dainty .lunch. A small bazaar closed the evening. Therers more to buying or selling a car than you think. When you're buying or selling a car privately, a handshake and bill of sale doesn't mean the deal is complete. If you're the seller, it's in your best interest to make sure the change of ownership has been registered properly with the Ministry of Trans- portation and Communications. If it hasn't, all parking tickets auto- matically go to you. If you ignore them you could be subject to arrest for failure to pay fines. You could also find yourself involved in a civil suit if the vehicle is in an accident after the sale. If you're the buyer, it's also in your best interest to make sure the change of ownership has been registered. Both buyer and seller should visit a Ministry of Transportation and Communications licence -issuing office and transfer the ownership in person. A free pamphlet, "Buying or Selling a Car Privately'; is available at all MTC licence -issuing offices, or by writing Public and Safety Information Branch, Ministry of Transportation and Communications,1201 Wilson Ave., Downsview, Ontario M3M U8. James Snow, Minister of Transportation and Communications .Ontario num The exceptional solo in the first act was "All Good Gifts", sung by Karen Melady. Karen's voice was the clearest and strongest of the cast. The ,vaudville duet featuring Jesus and Judas, played by Stewart Smith and Kevin Bundy respectively, should have been a highlight of Act I. Instead, it was com- pletely destroyed by the inaudible voice of Kevin Bundy. The dancing wasn't bad, though. In Act 1I, the music improved considerably. Sexy Lucia Zmekhol, an exchange student from Brazil, teased the male spectators and thoroughly enjoyed herself in the burlesque number, "Turn Back Oh Man", Stewart Smith's voice in "On the Willows" was particularily emotionally wrenching during his climactic crucifixtion on the cross. . `Emotionally wren- ching' can also he used to describe the acting in "Godspell". It was ap- parent that every L GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY�, MAY 17, 1979—PAGg 7 A er member of the cast was deeply touched by the .play. The parts of Jesus and John the Baptist Judas were well -cast by director Philip McMillan. Slight, handsome Stewart Smith's° pri,stience on stage dominated the play, and he interpreted Christ in a sensitive, beautiful fashion. Kevin Bundy had a difficult task portraying both John the Baptist and Judas (he also played David). „ His betrayal scene as Judas was especially piercing. ' Several people in the audience wiped tears 'away during the beautiful, sad, wordless good-byes Jesus shared with his apostles after the Last Supper. All in all, the produc- tion was professional. A classy touch was added by the display of Shakespearean Festival costume designs., In the program Debbie Shaddick, who played Robin, said that the hugging was her favourite part. It was everybody's.
