Ford of Canada, again this year, has donated three vehicles to our particular Experience '76 program as part of their "Work- ing with Youth" program. The crews are made up of University and College students who will work for thirteen weeks and Secondary School students who will be employed for seven weeks, starting July 5th. The north Experience '76 crew consists of Janice Stewart, Pat Faber, Lori Sims and Jim Fer- guson. They cover all the con- servation areas in the northern part of the Watershed. They first project involved the pre- paration of Port Blake for the Official Opening June 9th. Future projects include brush- ing, clearing and general cleanup at Crediton, Morrison Dam and Clinton Conservation Areas, also to Zurich and Dublin. The Bannockburn Wildlife Area will receive trail maintenance, a sign and a shelter. The Parkhill Experience '76 crew consists of Bruce Williams, Bernie Rutten, Randy Pollock, Rose Westhaver and Janie Robertson. These students will be involved in such construction projects as new boat docks, canoe racks and playground equipment. They will be improv- ing the roadway to the beach and the snowmobile trails in the Parkhill Conservation Area. The south Experience '76 crew will be working in Rock Glen, Thedford and Port Franks Con- servation Areas. The students include Cindy Dunsford, Carolyn Lagerwerf, Anne Bullock and Beatrice Massechlein. They will be involved in maintenance of all southern parks and con- struction of new docking facilit- ies at Port Franks. The Construction crew, con- sisting of Beatrice Schofield, and Barb Ratz have already spent tinfe constructing the gate at Port Blake. They will also construct the new gatehouse at Rock Glen Conservation Area. The Municpal crew consists of a foreman, Tom Creech and Leisa Ritchie, Paul Fydenchuk and Agnes VanEsbroeke. Muni- cipalities were contacted earlier in the spring requesting they make application for assistance and where possible, assistance will be given. Some of the municipal projects include ceme- tery restoration and clean-up at Arkona, beach cleanup at Bay- field, roadside clean-up in the townships of Lobo, McGillivray and West Williams, clean-up of the creek following through Hensall dump, municipal ditch clean-up in Dublin and other projects in Stanley and Tucker - smith townships.

Eighty-five artists and craftsmen selected by a secret jury will be displaying and selling their wares. Previous visitors to the Festival will attest to the wide variety and beauty of the hand- crafted articles, which range from brooms, bowls and woven wall hangings to delicately crafted jewellery and enamels. The artists come this year from areas as far away as the Maritimes and as near as Stratford itself, giving visitors a chance to view a wide panorama of articles otherwise unavailable in the area. Among the artists chosen is Exeter potter, Kaaren Batten. A festive Special Opening will be held Friday evening from 7:30 p.m. to 11:60 p.m. featuring Dinah Christie and Tom Kneebone, currently appearing in a dinner Cabaret at The Church Restaurant, entitled -Salute to Broadway". At the opening Miss Christie and Mr. Kneebone will perform songs from their repertory which in- clude numbers by Rodgers and Hart, Stephen Sondheirn and Bernstein. Throughout the Festival many artists will demonstratensl rat e the techniques of their craft, so that visitors will have a chance to observe the skills involved in the making of the articles. The proceeds of the Festival are shared by the artists and The Gallery,Stratford enabling it to carry out its extensive year round programme. Between 6000 and 8,000 people attended the Festival last year, and the Committee hopes that this year the turnout will be even larger. For many of the craftsmen the Festival provides a unique and important opportunity - allowing them a good medium for the sale of their work as well as a chance to meet the public who buy their crafts. For many of the artists this can he important financially as well. Many. visitors to the Festival • keep up their initial contact with a craftsman or artist and continue to buy his or her works. Many of the artists live in remote areas with little access to shops and stores in urban centres of the country, At this year's Festival Gail Ord and Sue McCoy from Toronto will demonstrate' patchwork and quilting. Martina Baas from Wyoming, Ontario will display cross-stitch pictures and demonstrate her craft. Quillwork, a unique and in- teresting craft will be displayed by Margaret . Crozier. Pat Gutowski from Caledon will display her Ceramics and beads and jewellery and will also demonstrate. Robert Lyons, well known to previous Festival visitors will make his famous hand -made brooms during the Fest iral .
