This week I have some
bits and pieces of news
from the Blyth Summer
Festival which I thought
you might \be interested
in.
Attendance at the Blyth
Festival was up this
summer by 13 per cent.
The fund raising goal of
$21,000 for operating
purposes is; within reach
date to dte donations
received stand at $17,500.
One local farmer has
contributed a ton of
barley, a first for the
festival and a unique
method of supporting the
performing arts. There
are not too many theatres
across the country which
can claim donations such
as this and the festival
welcomes further con-
utributions of this sort
from farm friends.
The festival has said
good-bye to artistic
director James Roy.
Janet 'Amos, the new
director, is busy working
on plans for the 1980
season.
Watch for news of the
"School Show" going on
tour in the spring. The
School Show features Ted
Johns in a play which he
wrote about the Huron
County teachers' strike
•
It is the festival's hope
to have the office in Blyth
(the location of the
summer box office) open
Tuesdays and Wed-
nesdays during the fall,
winter and early spring.
An exciting winter
season is planned for the
festival: For further
information on what's
upcoming, you can call
Sheila Richards in
Brussels at 887-6724.

Presbytery gives $30,000
Huron -Perth
Presbytery, United
Church of Canada
learned the extent of its
compassion at its regular
meeting, September 25.
London Conference, of
which the Presbytery is a
part, has contributed
$30,000 to the Woodstock
Relief Fund; two of four
families of Boat People
have arrived in the area;
the Mission and Service
fund is seven percent
above last year's figure;
and the Reverend Bruce
Eaton has been sum-
moned to the Sudan to dig
wells.
The meeting held in St.
Marys United Church
was conducted by its new
chairman, the Reverend
Maurice Francis of
Fullarton. A communion
service opened the
proceedings.
George Simmonds,
chairman of the Wood-
stock Relief Fund, em-
phasized the contribution
made by the Mennonite
disaster relief team. He
said that 660 claims had
been filled, none of which
will receive more than 90
percent of the loss. His
committee is working s
with its own and in-
surance adjusters to t
make an equitable
distribution of funds.
Donations to the funds
are still being received
and needed.
Living in a land of
plenty, Jerry Holland
