Brussels muplc lovers were among those
who peyote the Blyth Manorial Hall's Great

Blyth board raised '83,000
After only a few months of fund-raising;
the Board of DirectOrs of the Blyth Centre for
tine. Arts has. reached the halfway point in its
cam)isign to raise 583,000 for the improve-
. ment of the technical facilities of Blyth
Memorial Hall.
The overwhelming growth of activity at
the hall means that much of the equipment
has become inadequate for the volume and
quality of productions that are presented
there year-round. The growth of music
programmes at the Centre has created a
large demand for a grand .piano, and the
need for a new lighting system and new
stage draperies has been pressing for years:
The cost' of- upgrading the facilities totals
$83.000.
The Board of the Blyth Centre has now
coinpletely retired the debt from the initial
building addition and renovation which was
completed in 1980. The Board of Directors
raised almost 5100,000towards the total
project cost of $320,000 over the .past three
years. -That money came from canvasses,
dinners, raffles and the many generous
donations of local residents and organiza-
tions.
Several organizations have made gener-
ous pace -setting donations to the new
upgrading campaign.. The Richard Ivey
Foundation has donated $5,000, and the
London Foundation has contributed S4,000.
The Blyth Centre has diverted S10.000 of
operating revenue -to the project, and the
Ministry of Tourisln and ' Recreation has
been approached for 510,000 under their
Community Recreation Centre program,
Wintario has underwritten the cost of new
stage draperies at $3,000, and the residents
of the area have given a resounding "yes" to
the idea of a grand piano by donating over
S8,000 towards its cost. Two fund-raising
events are planned for the coming months to
'add a few more dollars to the fund.

financially troubled art gallery, the board
agreed at its Oct. 18 meeting to give a S2 per
student grant to the gallery. The board
increased the grant from 51 per student.
'The gallery's education program is geared
to Grade 5 classes and there is an estimated
1,5.00 Perth County students going to the.
gallery each' year.
Superintendent of program Keith Thomp-
son said he had received unsolicited
comments from some teachers praising the
education program offered by the gallery.
Listowel trustee Rev. John Anderson had
heard different comments on the same
subject.
The only comments 1 received were
he itant and dubious," said Mr. Anderson
noting he had been told some of the art was
inappropriate for adults, let alone grade 5
students.
Gallery director Paul Bennett informed
the board that the grants received by the

Mr. Bennett said "quite a number of
nudes" are on display this month and
therefore no school •tours are being
conducted.
Mr. Thompson said the 52 per student
grant is comparable to grants offered for
other programs. He said grants, such as the
one for the outdoor education program at
Wildwood Conservation Area and the learn
to swim program held at the Stratford
YMCA for Grade 4 classes, range from 51 to
52 per student.
Stratford trustee Paul Parlee, who is also
the president of the Gallery -Stratford board
of directors, said the gallery is a "real
asset" which enhances. the school's art
programs.
Mr. Parlee did not declare a conflict of
interest at this meeting although at a
previous meeting when the topic was under
discussion he declared a conflict of interest,
not of the "pecuniary" type.
