GLT would like to thank the old members for their continued support and welcome the new members who are looking forward to their first G.L.T. play. The first offering, "Fiddler on the Roof", a musical with a large cast composed of -G.L.T. actors, high school students and town band, opens at the high school on November 14 and runs to November 17. Ruth Leonard, stage ‘o manager. for "Fiddler", says the sets are finished and Madam Director Eleanor Robinson says that the play is coming together , very well. Eleanor says the" dance numbers were quite a challenge because the • men had to learn the "Russian Kick" and the women some ballet numbers. It sounds like a very energetic 'play. Although the ages of the cast run from nine to 65, Eleanor feels they all blend very well together. Erla Stewart is the choral director with Htigh McGregor conducting the orchestra. Muriel and Patty Reinhart are doing wardrobe and Fatty is also doing set decoration. All in all, this play promises to be one of Tire leaves seven homeless LUCKNOW - An October ,26 apartment fire in Lucknow sent two people to hospital and left seven people hdmeless. Hank . den Boer was taken to Winghani hospital, suffering from first and second degree burns to his hands, 'feet, arms, legs and chest. Ruby Webb, another regident in the main street apartments, was taken to hospital were she was treated for second degree burns. The blaze started in the living room of the apartment owned by Mr. den Boer above their bake shop, Lucknow Home Bakery, on the south side of the main street. The fire quickly spread into the hallway and to the adjoining building, above a variety store, east of the bakery. Mr. and Mrs. den Boer and their two children escaped , from the building and Mr, den Boer went back into the burning structure, once to save their dog and a second time to try to smother the flames. While running down the hall with a flaming cushion from the chesterfield, he yelled warning@ to other residents in the building. Along with the den Boers, three other people • escaped. Florence Vickers reached safety through the back exit vitith Mr. den Boer and his dog. Ruby Webb was awakened. by Mr. den Boer's call, "fire'.' and left the smoke filled building by a stairway that was engulfed in flames. When Claude Tetreault found the hallway filled with smoke, he grabbed a towel', dowsed it in water and wrapped around his head. ,--Shortly after the building was cleared, the Lucknow Fire Depart- ment arrived on the scene and put out the blaze. Although no structural damage was done to the building, the den Boer apartment was destroyed and other apartments and variety store sUf- -faired- smoke and water datnage:` As some of you may already know, G.L.T. lost two of its most active members with .the leaving of Beth and Brian -Markson who are now making their home in Vernon, B.C.

Planning board received an application from Wedlock and Dunlop Limited to have property on Britannia Road changed from residential to com- mercial. The property at the corner of Bayfield Road and Britannia Road is owned by the con- struction firm and the house is under complete renovation. Bill Wedlock told the board that the original intentions of the firm was to restore the 1870 home for resale. But he said after working on the property and noting the traffic pattern he and his partner Brian Dunlop realized the home would not sell as a residential property. Wedlock asked the board to change the -i" designation of the property from residential to commercial and change the zoning to permit it to be used for professional offices such as lawyer, doctor or dentist. Wedlock said the property may be ideal for a professional. He said the widening of Bayfield Road resulted in the home's potential changing drastically. He said the home has no front yard, there is a great deal of traffic on • the street it is situated on and with the number of children going by it on their way to Victoria School it wotild, be less than ideal as a home. He said one could only b -e c o life c-rovel associated with the property to realize why it was not an ideal residential site. County planner Roman Dzus said Wedlock's observations may not be enough to warrant changing the zoning...He said the board could be opening the door to anyone in town to buy an older home and convert it into a professional office. Dunlop told the board the firm realized when it started the project there was a possibility it could be turned into an office. But he said he and his partner wanted to restore it as a home first and an office second. He said only after work got underway did the pair realize the property just wouldn't make it as a home. Planning board scheduled a public meeting for December 4 . to see if there are any objections to the firm's proposal. County gets report The social services committee reported to council that there are 270 county residents presently receiving welfare assistance from the county, an increase of 21 cases over the same period in 1978.
