Blyth Saga building
celebrates 100 this year
The Blyth Saga is celebrating its first
anniversary of being in business this week.
Also marking the event is the anniversary of
their building which is 100 years old.
The following is a reprint of the history of
the building from the centennial edition of
the Blyth Standard for the Village of Blyth:
This building which housed B.J. Fabrics is
situated in what is known as the Milne Block
and was built in 1881.
The first owner we know of was a J.
McMurchie who operated a private bank and
then later went into the flax business.
Sam Harrington operated a dry goods
store as did Mr. Bender. Jim Cutt was here a
short time and he too ran a dry goods store.
Mr. Bender had a dry goods store. He was
no relation to the previous Bender. He
married Kathleen McElroy.
Mr. Webster, an undertaker, had his
funeral parlor here. Harold & Myrtle
Vodden ran a bake shop for a .hon time,
later locating in the building next door, now
Gore's Hardware.
Kay & Bill Heffron lived upstairs in the
apartment and had a dry goods store.
They sold to Morris Wineberg who
already had a business in Brussels and
wanted to open another store. He sold yard
goods, men's, ladies'. and children's wea:,
boots and shoes. His salesclerk, Mrs. Etta
Laidlaw, and her husband ()erupted the
apartment above. Mr. Wincberg closed the
store and it remained vacar.t for a few nears.
In October of 1973, Lan v rnd Barbara
(Holland) Walsh and da fighter Susan
purchased the store and after :ompletely
renovating the upstairs living • quarters.
moved in and opened a fahrit shop u► March
of 1974.
In July of 1980 Liz and Flov,i Herman open
the Blyth Saga.
Huron county to
plant 1000 trees
Huron County Council recommended to
its development committee at its June
meeting that a minimum of 1,000 trees be
planted when the committee issues an order
b replant trees.
For some time now, council has been
concerned about the number of applications
for exception to the tree cutting by-law,
which have been brought before the
development committee. The committee's
June report showed they considered seven
applications this month.
Stanley reeve Paul Steckle told council it
seems people want to extend themselves u
far u the by-law permits. In many cues
when the committee permits a farmer to
remove a lot of trees, they request the
farmer replant 100 trees. Steckle said he
questions whether 100 trees is worth
planting and what ensures the trees will live,
he asked.
Steckle commented he appreciates the
concern of farmers that Targe machinery
does not operate well around trees, but he
said he is also concerned about the problems
d erosion and top soil blowing away.
Tom Cunningham, chairman of the
development committee ponted out that the
by-law is explicit; if trees are encouraged to
die through neglect or some other reason.
the committee has the power to order they
be replanted again.
Cunningham went on to say the new
ruling may prevent the replanting of trees in
some cases. if there isn't room to plant 1,000
trees, said Cunningham, it is possible the
committee will recommend none be planted.
Reeve Steckle observed planting the trees
six feet apart in rows six feet apart would
permit 1,800 trees to be planted in an acre.
He said he doesn't find the new ruling out of
line in this respect.

From Me to You
By Rhea Hamilton
Some time ago I had the
chance to view some female
strippers in action and made
a few comments about their
ability and just what con•
stitutes a good stripper and a
bad one. (entertaining wise).
Last week I had a chance to
see the flip side of the coin. A
male stripper, of sorts, has
been drawing crowds at a
hotel to the south and east of
Blyth. Fondly called Sweet
Pie he has an act that is more
cabaret style than stripper
routine as we know it,
Those 01 us who ramble on
about the matter of equality
are probably the same ones
who take up the dare our
male counterparts offer us
and attend male stripper
aL15.
But the whole idea of men
stripping for fun and profit is
relatively new and com-
pletely new here in the rural
area. That is probably why
the majority of the audienc-
was made up of shy bu
watchful ladies keen to get a
Sweet Pie
glimpse of what an outgoing
man would do naked in front
of a room of women.
Well, they were not dis-
appointed and neither was 1.
Sweet Pie brought out the
ariosity in all of us and our
male companions were like-
wise 'impressed'.
Mr. Pie was not com-
pletely without some sort of
cover while doing his act.
Along with his top hat he
wore a stunning sparkling
white bow tie, with arm and
kg bands.
The cartoon sketching
dune on the stage by Sweet
Pie between little dance
cumbers and asides to the
tidies in the front row, were
treasures. Apparently not for
sale, the poster size cartoons
would make an ideal addition
to office or rec. room.
1 might add that I was not
the only local girl out seeing
the sights. There wcre
several tables of locals there
and some reported that it
was their second time down
to enjoy the entertainment.
I must add that Sweet Pie
is a treasure trove of talent
and plays a mean honky tonk
piano and sings in a voice
somewhat reminiscent of
Long John Baldry.
While the audience that
night was full they were too
conscious of the man un the
stage to take part in his
sing•a•long numbers and
much to their dismay the act
was cut short.
It seems if you
don't sing for your supper,
dessert walks off the stage.
But enough of the puns.
The reaction of some of the
ladies was expected and
when the entertainer turned
his back some slipped out the
door. By the time the main
act wu over the audience
had thinned considerably.

To the editor:
Need public involved
Farm organizations in Huron County have
formed a working group to co-ordinate
involvement by the agricultural community
at Ontario Hsdro's hearings on Electrical
Power Planning in South Western Ontario.
Ontario Hydro has released its proposals
as to public involvement in the selection of 5
proposed routes for a SOO K.V. line to
connect Bruce Nuclear Power to the South
Western Ontario grid.
This power line will he used mainly to
export surplus power to the U.S.. and
another nuclear power plant built on this Zine
in the future could be a possibility.
The proposed methodology of public
involvement, timing of the hearings. head-
line just a few of the concerns the group cites
in a letter to Ontario Hydro's chairman,
Hugh MacCaulay:
June 22. 1981
R.R. %2, Goderich, Ont.
Mr. Hugh MacCaulay,
Chairman of the Board,
Ontario Hydro,
Toronto. Ontario
Dear. Mr. MacCaulay:
This is to inform you that farm groups in
this area have formed an Agricultural Power
Line Working Committee. A Chairman,
Tony McQuail, R.R. M1, Lucknow, Ontario,
and Secretary, BiII Jongejan, R,R. %2,
Goderich. Ontario, were elected at a meeting
held June 15. 1981.
We wish to point out that the Public
Participation procedures outlined in the
June 8, 1981, Background information on the
South Western Ontario Working groups do
not conform to the Porter Commission's
recommendations, specifically recommends.
tion 6.3 in several crucial areas:
(a) The most affected citizens seem (cast
represented.
(b) The chairman of the working groups
are being selected by Ontario Hydro
and not by the working groups.
Irl The procedures, agendas, etc. have all
been prepared by Ontario Hydro.
without citizen participation or
approval.
We find the current proposal unaccept•
able. and believe the procedure should be
revised as to conform with The Porter
Commission's recommendations as to these
proceedings.
We also find the timing of the Public
Participation process absurd if public partici•
pation is truly desired. After a long delay in
its release it has been scheduled in the
busiest time in the farm calendar. It will also
conflict with holiday time of most other
organizations representing the business
sector. To allow meaningful public involve-
ment the public participation process must
be rescheduled to late fall and winter 1981.
We are concerned that so little effort has
been made to involve local citizens.
We, as a committee. demand to partici-
pate in the public participation process and
wish to appoint a representative to the
appropriate citizens committee when they
are formed.
Please give these concerns your immed-
iate attention.
On Behalf of the
Agricultural Power Line
Working Committee.

Behind the Scenes
by Keith Roulston
What greatness?
As Canadians celebrate the 114th birthday
of their country we are still awaiting the
greatness promised by Sir Wilfred Laurier
when he predicted the 20th century
belonged to Canada. With only 19 years left
in the century, that greatness seems almost
wt of reach.
There have been times when Canada has
shown greatness: the world leadership in
pursuit of peace for the Lester Parson years
and the current leadership in trying to bring
the rich and poor nations closer together
come to mind; but for the most part the
tremendous promise of our land has not
been realized. Of course, if you think Laurier
talked about material possessions then
Canada has become great beyond his wildest
dreams. The lowliest citizen today has things
in his home today that even a prime minister
couldn't contemplate at the turn of the
century. But of course Laurier wasn't talking
merely about wealth.
The problem is that to have a great nation
you must have great people living in it and
Canadians too often have shown an aversion
to greatness. For a nation to be great it
means more than electing great leaders. it
means having the entire population contri•
buting to that greatness. That means you
and I doing our best to make the nation
great.
I he role of government in this must be to
open the roadways for greatness. not hinder
it. For too long we have rewarded the wrong
people in this country. Rewards have gone to
the managers and merchandisers, not the
creators. Look at the farm situation where a
fanner produces food from soil and sunlight
and his own know-how and effort and earns
less usually than the girl at the checkout
counter at the supermarket, let alone the
processing company president or the
supermarket manager. Look at the constant
drain of Canadian artistic creative talent to
other countries where they will be properly
rewarded for their efforts.
TECHNOLOGICAL LAG
Canada today is suffering because we
don't have enough creators. We ue
technologically behind because we don't
have enough scientists doing research. We
have sold our industries to other nations who
are more interested in doing research in
their own countries.
One often hears the complaint in Canada
of too much government interference, but
the problem lies first and foremost with
business and the men who run it. We have
let ourselves become a nation of stuffy -think-
ing managers and merchandisers. Even
great family fortunes such as Eaton and
Thompson and Taylor have been managers,
not creators. And pretty small thinking
managers at that. While business talks
about the Valhalla of free enterprise in the
U.S., few Canadian businesses are giving as
much back to society as their counterparts in
the U.S. The huge fortunes down there have
been used for many worthwhile phitanthrop•
is ventures like the Ford Foundation or the
Carnegie gifts of the early part of the
century.
if Canada is to become great it will be not
through the efforts of a few but through the
efforts of a great many. We have turned over
the destiny of our country to a small handful
d political leaders and an even smaller
handful] of big business leaders. Worse still,
we have put much of our future in the hands
of people in New York, or Frankfurt or
Tokyo. who have no reason to care about the
future of Canada at all,
For Canada to be great we must have a
broad-based reawakening of what the
cwntry is all about. We must have people
doing things because they want to do them,
not just to collect a paycheque. We must get
people involved in the country again whether
in their jobs or in their volunteer activities.
The potential is there. The greatness has
been shown. It was shown in Centennial
Year in 1%7 when Canadians for a brief time
realized just what they could do. They got
excited and involved. Nearly every commun-
ity became a better place because of what
went on that year. But somehow we lost the
spirit.
The greatness surfaced again in the
remarkable Terry Fox run. Here was a
Canadian not afraid to be great, to take on a
task that seemed far beyond any human
being. Canadians responded to that great-
ness, were touched by it as they hadn't been
since 1967 and the greatness bloomed from
cne ocean to the other. For a brief time we
gave up our wrangling and bitterness and we
were great too, raising fabulous amounts to
fight cancer.
The greatness is there in Canadians,
waiting to be awakened. What we have to
learn is that when Sit Wilfred said the
century belonged to us, he didn't mean it
would be delivered or ordered like a pizza.
We have to reach out and seize it with our
imagination and our energy.

L-1aLf budget is

Theatre is a more than an
art. Here in Blyth it is a
growing business that bloc•
sums two months of the year
and is fast becoming a
business year round with the
development of a winter
program encompassing con•
arts, childrens workshops
and theatre projects at the
Blyth Festival.
There are two main areas
where dollars may be funnel-
led. One is the operating
budget which covers the
summer and winter program
costs, staffing, and putting
on the multitude of pro-
grams. The second account is
capital and monies here help
pay off the greatest venture
yet, the upgrading of the
present hall and the new
addition that officially open-
ed last summer (1980).
But let's deal with the
operating account.
The theatre has climbed
steadily in size and its
budget has kept pace with
that growth. What started
out with eight people and two
shows has grown to five
shows and a business that
employs over 50 people.
The budget is set on an
outlay of 5200,000 with ap-
proximately 5137,000 allot-
ted in salaries to performers
and staff.
Brenda Doner, publicity
director, outlines what is
termed the multiplier effect
of those dollars on the
surrounding area and com•
munities. "Fon every dollar
spent on the arts (like
theatre) S3 more is spent on
other items like baby sitters.
supper out, gas, clothes,
speciality shops and drinks
after the show.
With the sale of tickets
reaching the 5110,000 mark,
the multiplier effect has
those dollars generating
another 5330,000. Add that
to the salaries that are almost
all spent locally on living
expenses and the local theat-
re is quite a booming busi-
ness.
Volunteer fundraisers are
constantly on the lookout for
new ideas to raise dollars for
the operating account.
Ms. Doner remarked that
theatres normally operate
with a third of the funds
raised by the box office,
one-third by grants and the
final third through private
fund raising. In this way
Blyth is unique.
"While Blyth has the
knvest ticket prices they still
generate 50 per cent of their
operating budget from those
sales." said Brenda.
While the grants from both
federal and provincial sour-
ces have been on the in-
crease the governments also
see prosperous theatres as
not needing the extra sup-
port and could start making
cutbacks. "It's a catch 22"
commented Brenda. "You
need the money to do well
yet if you do well you
obviously handle it without
all the support.
NEW ADDrIION
The greatest venture the
supporters of the Blyth Me-
morial Hall have taken on
has been the renovating and
new addition to the building.
There is only 530,000 left to
retire on the building deficit
yet increased interest Pay-
ment are keeping the fund
raisers busy to maintain that
small amount rather than
depleting the principle of the
ban.
The renovating included
new washrooms in the hall,
new heating system, air
conditioning system, fire
safety measures, (doors.
sprinkler system) balcony
repairs, and equipment pur•
chases for sound and light-
ing,

the box office, a
gallery for art shows and
local groups, change rooms,
and storage area for props.
There is also a handsome
new ramp for disabled
people to have access to the
hall and enjoy the perfor•
mances.

68 - THE BLYTH SUMMER FESTIVAL ISSUE
Magic first night
Keith Roulston helped make Festival happen
BY L1SE GUNBY
Keith Roulston can not
only recite the history of the
Bluth Summer Festis al
Theatre. he also played an
important role in making it
happen.
Keith, former publisher
and editor of the Village
Squire magazine, who's now
the theatre's administrative
director says he can't
remember deciding con-
sciously that it would he nice
to have a theatre in Blyth
But he remembers the first
time he saw Memorial Hall
when he was reporter. photo-
grapher. and editor and
publisher of the Blyth
Standard covering the Lions
Club Variety Night there,
remembers thinking that it
should be put to use.
It was Keith and Helen
Gowing, then president of
the Board of Trade. who first
organized a crew of
volunteers w help restore the
Hall. with Keith promoting
the project through the
paper.
"Helen thought we could
use Memorial Hall." says
Keith. who was president of
the Blyth Centre for the Arts
Board of Directors from 19-5
to 1978.
Keith was born just north
of Lucknow, about 20 miles
from Blyth, where he spent
his school years
"I didn't really know that
wanted to write until 1 w a,
in high school." says Keith,
who had either teaching
history or flying in mind for
the future.
In Grade 1.3, he discarded
his air force ambitions and
decided to take journalism .
thereby avoiding the science
courses he would have had to
catch up on and didn't really
like anyway.
He went from Lucknow to
Ryerson in Toronto. where
he studied journalism and
saw a student production
that first sparked his interest
in theatre
"All my writing tends to
be on the role of the in-
dividual in society," he says,
and the difficulty the in•
dividual has with dealing
with things that get too big.
He writes about both the
rights of and the re-
sponsibilities of the
individual. We tend to talk
about the rights and don't
concentrate enough on the
responsibilities, he says.
The Shortest Distance
Between Two Points was
performed at the end of the
19'- Blyth Summer Festival
Season.
His second play. produced
at the Festival in 1978. was
His Own Boss, a story about
the frustrations of being
self-employed.
The third, Remember
When, was written for the
Wingham Centennial.
Keith long chronic led the
adventures of McGillicuddy,
a small town police chief, in
the Village Squire.
In 1979, Keith's play
based on that column
opened.
His research on Howie
Morenz resulted in this
summer's play Fire on Ice
In addition to running the
theatre's administrative side
Keith writes a weekly column
for the Blyth. Brussels and
Seaforth papers and for the
Rural Voice.
"i've learned discipline, I
guess," he says when asked.
"I didn't used to be...1 was
disciplined too much in a
way." Keith would work six
or seven days a week for ten
to 12 hours a day.
He needs the discipline to
relax now, he says.
Anyone in the area would
find it hard to miss both the
quality and the quantity .,f
Keith's work. To keep
abreast of the spectrum he
writes about, he regularly
reads three daily newspapers
plus weeklies and
magazines.

Banff Festival. at City Stage
in Vancouver, and at the
Waltcrdale Theatre in
Edmonton.
Keith will appear in Quiet

KATE TROTTER
Kate is a familiar face at
Blyth for her appearances in
the 19", 1978 and 1980
season in several plays,
including I'll Be Back For
You Before Midnight. Child,
His Own Boss and Two Miles
Off.
In the past year. Kate has
appeared in The Tempest at
Theater Calgary, in The
Tomorrow Box at Centaur

series and in the Judge.

PATRICIA VANSTONE
Patricia hails from New
Brunswick, and appeared at
Theatre New Brunswick and
Dalhousie Theatre while on
the East coast.
More recently. she has
appeared in Rumours of our
Death, and Teacup
Entertainments in Toronto at
Factory Theatre Lab and in
the Improvisation Olympics
with Homemade Theatre.
Patricia recently went to
Regina to appear in A
Thousand Clowns at Stage
West.
WAS going to go
somewhere . "
Every opening night now
is fun, he says, but that very
first opening night was a
"once in a lifetime thing."
The town of Blyth has,
"for the most part, re-
mained the same," says
Keith, but the attitude
toward the theatre has
changed.
At first. people were a
little "leery" of having new
people coming to town. But it
wasn't very long after the
actors were here, says Keith,
that they were accepted by a
lot of people, invited to stay
in their homes, presented
with homemade pies. James
Roy was instrumental in this
process, Keith says, he
"brought in really nice
people" to work in the
Festival.
"Every year there is more
support from the town."
Keith says. Blyth residents
start looking forward to the
actors coming back, and
when they go, it's as if
"something has been sort of
taken away."
One of the actors from two
seasons ago came back to
visit and talk to the people he
met while in Blyth, says
Keith. He was treated "like
one of the local boys come
home."
Keith Roulston is also veru
much a "local boy". Though
as a journalist, he often plays
the role of critic, he says that
"if you show you have the
interests of the community at
heart and turn around and
criticize, then they'll under-
stand."

World War and to sere as a lasting
memorial to those who had died for their
country. The first hall committee consisted
of members of the women's institute (who
Nought the lot for the hall). the Red Cross
Girls' Auxiliary and other organizations.
Raising the $?S,(X)0 to build the Hall was
in those dans a task. However a spirited
canvass was conducted.

Mrs. Pearl Watson, who taught in Blyth at
that time, said that from her SSO a sear
A LOT OF WORK ON PROPS—John Thompson who is in charge of
tracking down props for the Festival productions finds the whole job a
challenge. If he is unable to find what the designer and director want he
must improvise. For the production of "Love or Money" John has
threaded fancy beads to add to the glass chandelier for a richer effect.
Props are either donated for the summer or sometimes purchased at
auctions and then added to the ever-growing department of props and
wardrobe. (Photo by Hamilton)
salar, she had SfO deducted as her
"contribution". A variety of fund raising
events followed the canvass, including
concerts. suppers and various clubs' pro.
jects.
Much of the actual work was done by
volunteer labour. The end result was a
comm unity hall which stood among the
finest in the province. The upper auditorium
had a seating capacity of 600. The basement
area was suited tor meetings. dances,
receptions and banquets.
CONSTANT USE
During the next two decades the Hall was
in constant use The era of saudeville thrryed
and Blyth Memorial Hall was the scene of
mans entertaining travelling shows. Aug
meeting the touring professional show s were
mans local concerts Irish and tis 'tush
shows proved popular as did variety type
concerts
A group of los al men put together
minstrel show. complete with golliwog
wigs, straw hats and striped jackets. This
group toured around the area. getting as
much fun out of their act as the audiences
they performed for.
During the Second World War. the
emphasis was on projects to help provide a
few things to cheer up the servicemen.
Concerts were held to raise money for
cigarettes and sweets for the army boss. The
ladies' organi!ations held get-togethers
where they made items to make life a little
more comfortable for the soldiers. The Red
Cross used the Hall as a home base for
collecting for the arms.
GATHERED DUST
For about 20 years. the Memorial Hall
auditorium remained unused gathering dust
although community activities flourished in
the lower hall. The local drama club put on
plays in the school auditorium.
In l9'2 the Board of Trade took the
initiative to try and bring the theatre hack to
life. Aided by members of the drama club
and other volunteers they cleaned out old
scenery and curtains which hung in tatters.
scrubbed and painted till the hall looked
presentable.
In September a variety concert was held in
connection with the Fall fair, featuring local
talent and a Fall Fair Queen Contest. The
Bluth little Theatre group and their young
people's group put on some plays.
A new era was about to begin in the
history of Blyth Memorial Hall. Fi ,irs that
the hall night he torn down becausr of the
sagging roof and poor wiring were waylaid.
fhc Blyth Senior (Citizens managed to get a
government grant to fix the roof.
In 19'5, a young director. .pan', . Ros,
approached seseral local people .,ith the
idea of starting a Sumpter Ili. otic'. The
Bluth (entre for the Arts was formed. and
that summer two plass. the Mousetrap, hs
Agatha Christie. and Mostt. to ( lover, a
play based on Harr finsle's stories were
presented. the response to the plass was
very encouraging
rhe following winter a Ins al intitttse
project grant was used to carr out further
renovations. restoring the beautiful pine
woodwork. In the ensuing sears the Sumner
Festival grew in size and reputation, one
successful season following another.
A winter season of plays. musical es ems
and varied concerts was added to the
program of the Centre for the Arts. Such
well-known performers as Canadian Brass,
The Nugget! Family and Maureen Forrester
have delighted local audiences in the last
few winter seasons.
The vision. perceived by the committees
responsible for the original building of a
memorial that would "stand the test of time
and be a fitting token of the worth by
residents of the community" is still there.

ORGANIZED --From two productions and tickets sold the night of the
performance in 1975 to five productions and advance sales the organizing
of ticket sales has become a huge job for the Blyth Summer Fesival, But
this year a lot of headaches have been solved with the construction of a
"closet" for tickets. A pine fronted cupboard houses racks with tickets
carefully catalogued as to date, performance and seating. Barbara

Hall revived in early '70s
BY LISE GUNBY
Blvth's Memorial Hall
which houses the Blyth
Centre for the Arts has a long
history, a vibrant present.
and by all indications, a
promising future.
Memorial Hall has stood
since 1920, when it was
erected as a memorial to
Blyth's First World War
veterans.
The old touring companies
used to travel to Guelph,
Stratford and London. but
often missed Blyth as it was
smaller, so the townspeople
put on their own plays. These
productions were very well
attended, and also one of the
only forms of recreation.
With the advent of radio
and T.V., the enthusiasm for
community produced enter-
tainment waned.
Memorial Hall, falling into
disrepair, was still used for
community dances and other
activities, but the stage
upstairs was bare.
But in the early 1970's,
Helen Gowing, a local
woman still on the board of
directors for The Blyth
Centre for the Arts, initiated
the revitalization of the Hall.
Volunteers went to work to
bring the building back to
life.
New fire escapes had to be
installed to make the
building safe. Blyth council
provided the money. Repairs
at a cost of $200 were made
to the wiring system. The
roof was found unable to
support snow loads.
Renovation progress was
halted.
"Tear the thing down,"
offered one local councillor.
So much money shouldn't
be put into such an old
building, suggested another.
Townspeople were
consulted in the form of a
coupon placed in a local
paper. Two groups came to
the defence of the hall, one
wanting the building put
back into use as an entertain-
ment facility, the other it
preserved because it was
memorial to war veterans.
Only one coupon was
marked against the pre-
servation of the hall.
The village gave $10,000
for the replacement of the
roof, and received the rest of
the S50,000 cost from senior
government grants.
So Memorial Hall was
standing firm in the winter of
5'S when Jantes Roy, then a
recent graduate of theatre at
York University who grew up
near the village , mentioned
to Paul Thompson his

ambition to start a theatre
company.
Paul Thompson had toured
through Blyth in 1973 with
Theatre Passe Muraille.
At Mr. Thompson's sug-
gestion. James Roy came to
Blyth, and in March of 1975,
he began the realization of
his ambition.
First season productions
were The Mousetrap. a
"safe” Agatha Christie
mystery that has been
playing in London, England,
for 21 years, and Mostly in
Clover. a play based on the
writing of (Huron County
native) Harry J. Boyle and
assembled by the actors.
former artistic director.
James Roy and writer
Stephen Thorne.
Mostly in Clover outdrew
the "safe" production. First
season results reinforced Mr.
Roy's belief that "all good
plays are relevant to their
audience.” Since then, Blyth
Festival Theatre policy has
been the presentation of
work written and performed
by Canadians.

HOME OF THE COUNTRY CRAFTSMAN
The perfect spot to stop on that afternoon drive. Look at the early Canadian furniture, and
enquire about custom refinsihing in the Antique Loft, step into the Calico Shop where you
will be surrounded by bolts and bolts of fabric, an overwhelming array of notions for Quitters
and if it's a Quilt -lover you are, there are beautifully hand -stitched Quilts awaiting you as
well. See the Country Craftsman's fine woodworking as well as the work of other local
craftsmen; then sit down and enjoy a tasty lunch or afternoon tea in the
Miller's Country Kitchln.
Tom & Carol
P.S. — Ask about the special -of -the -Month, our Quilt Draw and, of course, remember our
annual December Sale. See you soon!
