wood Tigers will initiate the 1976

Playhouses spring
tour extended
Peter Caldwell, Tour Manager
of the Huron Country Playhouse
Young • Players, announced
Monday that the Spring School
Tour has been extended into
,lune. The five actors in the
company have taken three
separate productions to over
40 schools in Southwestern
Ontario and will continue to tour
for two more weeks. Engage-
ments have been as far afield
as Southampton to the north,
Windsor to the south and Guelph
to the east.
Fantasy by James Saar, was
the first production staged by
the group and is a dramatiza-
tion of Lewis Carroll's Alice in
Wonderland. This play involves
singing, dancing and magic,
and is for grades K-4.
Circus was the group's second
offering and this show for the
upper grades 5-8 was written
and compiled by the five company
members and .James Murphy,
Artistic Director of the Playhouse
who also directed the Young
Players productions.
A third show was added to
the repertoire last month. My
Best Friend Is Twelve Feet High,
by Carol Bolt, was performed by
the Playhouse Young Players
in their 1974 School Tour and
was so successful that it was
revived this year for about
25 more performance. This
production was ideal for elemen-
tary schools who wanted.to bring
all grade levels to only one show.,
Caldwell announced that the
company has been retained
for the first week in June, be-
cause of many recent bookings
received from Lambton Count'.
The La nib an County Board
of Education at their March
29111 meeting voted to make a
$500 subsidy available to Lamb -
tan schools \N ishing to book ane
of the Playhouse productions
and so far 9 schools have par-
ticipated.
NFU fights
dairy policy
The National Farmers' Union,
Region 3, Ontario, has been
requested to call an emergency
meeting of - its country officials
to lay plans to combat the current
serious crisis facing dairy farmers
in Ontario.
District 7, N.F.U., compris-
ing of Wellington, Dufferin,
Grey and Bruce counties, issued
the call during a meeting this
week at Walkerton. Fred
Kabbes, District Director, said
the new dairy policies emerging
from Ottawa and Toronto are
having very adverse effects on
dairy farmers' incomes. .He said
the meeting concluded that in
view of the Ontario Government's
incentive program last year, it
should now help bear the burden
and match the federal dairy sub-
sidy dollar for dollar for in -quota
milk.
