Garden Show attendance is up
With attendance up 80 per cent from last
year, organizers of the Second Annual
Seaforth Horne and Garden Shaw consider
the event a huge success. This year's version
of the event, held on the weekend at the
Seaforth and District Community Centres,
attracted 900 people, compared to the 500
who attended the 1985 show.
"Considering the weather (sunny and
warm), the increase was very good, said
Rick Fortune, president of the Seaforth Minor
Bali Association, which sponsors the event as
a fundraiser.
"We had quite a few new displays this
year. L think the exhibitors were well pleased
with the turnout," said Mr. Fortune.
Special attractions such as a golfing tips
display, a microwave cooking demonstration,
and a BMR bicycle stunt show operated by
the local Boy Scout troop may all have been
factors adding to the attendance increase,
said Mr. Fortune. Ail three attractions were
well attended themselves, he added.
„We've gotsorne ideas to improve far next
year. If we can gain (attendance) each year,
or stay about the saute level, we'll be able to
give the kids a good season of ball. which is
What it's all about," Mr. Fortune said,
adding this year's show netted the organiza-
tion
rganizestion about twice as much money as last year.
"The volunteer help was great again this
year," he said, noting many people worked
hard to make the event a success.'

lish a committee to investigate the issue of
smoking in buildings under its jurisdiction.

Trustee Gerald Groothuis asked if a
10 -minute break was permissable every hour
for smoking.
William Eckert, Director of Education, said
the academic advisory council made the
request for the study to develop a policy that
would recognize the health hazards that its
employees and students are exposed to when
smoking is allowed in its buildings and that, if
example is a primary teaching methodology,
personnel not be allowed to Smoke within the
