The result has been an incred-able resurgence of live theatre in Canada and in particular, in Ontario. to the Seaforth area alone. there are three area theatre comp- anies performing this summer.

' "I. enjoy the theatres," said Mrs. Patricia Rodney of 10 Silvercreek Cresent in Seaforth, Mrs. Rodney explained that it creates revenue for area businesses who enjoy the benefits received from increasing numbers of tourists in the area. "It brings people from the city and they stop•itkgJ*af restaurants etc.," she said. "It's something our children should be exposed to. I would like to see something like that in Seaforth, bringing productions to Cardno Hall," site added. Sharon Forrest of 51 Side Street in Seaforth said she hadn't attended a production at anyone of the three theatres, but thought it was important because, "there are so many people who attend the plays and enjoy them." Shelly Driscoll. a 15 -year-old high school student, said she had attended a produc- tion at Blyth in the past. and said she found it educational. "People learn from the plays and that makes them impprtant," she said. "There is nothing else to go to really," said Catherine Nicholson of R.R. 2, Seaforth. . "It's enice drawing card for people'tb coin1t to the community. it's educational and good," she added. Paul Southgate said he'd never been to one of the area theatres. Living at 103 Market St. in Seaforth, Mr. Southgate added judging from the news coverage the theptres receive, they must be offering something worthwhile. "It brings all kinds of people td the area and gives others jobs," said Helen McLaughlin,of I i l William St. irk-Seaforth. "It is also great for older people," she added. r Lillian Pepper of R.R. 3, Seaforth said she hadn't been to a play in Grand Bend 'yet, but .found both Blyth and Stratford extremely entertaining. . -."Stratford and Blyth are much better than the drive-in theatres. I think they should be drummed out of the country," she said. "it is a little bit of culture for the oeopie in the country.

So far, I have been beatmg around the bush. The target of my protest is the magazine racks of our variety stores. The amount of smutty literature available to Seaforth's kids is ;sickening. Variety stores run by "respectable". citizens have Christmas cards, comic books -and Playboy all within teach of a resourceful eighi year old. Our request is that these magazines be removed as I do not think the abslince' of these magazinea'will damage the profits as much as the presence of them damages peoples'. minds.
