huge celebration cake will engagement of The Odd
mark the 7th anniversary of
the Huron Country
Playhouse at the Tuesday,

crowd is expected to be in
attendance at the premiere
production, Neil Simon's The
Odd Couple.
Jack Duffy and Les
Carlson star in the
production about two men
who move in together when
their marriages go on the
rocks. It is a hilarious study
in compatibility because one
(Oscar) is a slob while the
other (Felix) is com-
pulsively neat.

club circuit as a singer with
Tommy Dorsey through
radio to star of his own T.V.

Felix. Opposite him is Les
Carlson, whose recent ap-
pearance in the television
production, Raku Fire, won
him an Actra award for Best
Supporting Actor. Both guest
artists appear at the
Playhouse through cor-
porate assistance from
Discount Daye's Home
Centre.

Gordon Lambert is , a
'landscape painter working in
oils. The local area,
especially the sand dunes
and shoreline are often the
subject of 'Mr. Lambert's
works.
Mr. Lambert studied art at
Montreal's L'Ecole des
Beaux Arts under Wilfred
Barnes, R.C.A. and A.C.
Valentine. In 1936 he entered
the commercial art field
with the Canadian
Associated Artists. At the
outbreak of the war he was
with the 79th Lt. Anti -
Aircraft and at war's end he
joined the Alexander Murray
Co. working through pur-
chasing and advertising
Agency jobs. He retired in
1975 as Director of
Marketing for the Afborite
Co. of Canada.
Retirement, however,
provided the opportunity for
further study and refinement
of his art with two well'
known Montreal Artists,
Noel Hollier .. and Helmut
Gurth.
Mr. Lambert and his wife
have lived in Grand Bend at
the Grand Cove Estates for
the past two years.
The family of the late
Mrs. Christine D. Wilson
wish to express their most heart-
felt thanks to all those who ex-
tended their kindness and com-
passion to their beloved mother
during her lengthy illness and to
all those who conveyed their ex-
pressionsof sympathy at the
time of her death.

accidents are increasing
This is what
On . `o is doing to help
e bicycling safer
Many bicycle accidents involve collisions
with cars or trucks whose drivers never
"see" the bicyclist until after it's too late:
As a bicyclist, you have just as much
right to the road as cars, buses or trucks.
But you're small and they're big, and
being right doesn't help if they don't see
you! So it's up to you to watch out for you
Stay alert to stay alive!
We urge you and your family to become
familiar with the rules of bicycle safety.
Your Ontario government has
prepared a special booklet called "The
Bicyclist's Handbook". It covers cycling
tips, rules of the road, traffic signs, how
to become an expert cyclist and how to
maintain a safe bicycle,
