But in a-country-where even rock groups, have a hard time finding an audience who Will pay money to hear them perform, the Canadian Brass are something of a phenomenon. You see, they usually play to a full house—Whether that full house is in Blyth, a small town in Saskatchewan, or in a grand auditorium"litissia or New York City. The first surprising thing about the Canadian Brass is that they play only brass instruments, those often tinny-sounding pieces, of equipment we associate with marching bands but are less likely to notice in the ranks of a symphony orchestra. Another surprising thing about Canadian Brass is that the members sprinkle their concerts with such "cultured" sounding pieces as fugues by J.S. Bach, canzonas and other exotically-titled pieces by composers like Vivaldi and Rimsky-Korsakov which you'd expect to hear only at a symphony concert (if you're in the habit of frequenting symphony concerts, a rare bird here in Huron County.) • But maybe the best thing about Canadian Brass is that their concerts are so much fun. THE SECRET The members of the group have discovered the secret of entertaining just about anyone - they mix their clasical rags with more popular tunes by the likes of "Fats" as they coasted to an 8-4 win over the Centenaires in Seaforth on Tuesday night. ' The Bombers seemed to hold a wide margin of play over , the entire game .except for ' the latter ten minutes of the second period when the Centenaires rallied with three goals within a span of two minutes to tie the game at 3-3. The Bombers led 2-0 after the first and 4-3 after the second. Cam Doig led the Centenaire, s with two goals while Frank Flannagan and Don Heard fired one apiece. The Centenaires were out- shot 52-36 in the game. Dan McClure replaced •Louie Arts in the Seaforth nets after the Bombers scored their fifth goal at :02 of the third period. ' • There were 14 minor penalities called in the game with each 'team picking up • seven. Tavistock4 Simfotih 30-- The Tavistock 'Braves scored' a shorthanded goal midway through the final Waller,, "Jelly Roll" Morton and the ever popular patriot. J lin Phi l lip Sousa. When the group doe's come 'to a, pie ce , like Toccata and Fugue in D Mit:or by Johann Sebastian Bach, they lead into the p.ece vifi ,a stand up ceiiwd: routine which would do justice to David Steinberg or t •ve Martin. Surprisingly, the audience has so much fun listening to the explanation about the music, they probably don't, even realize the Canadian Brass are throwing a little educational material in as well. Anyway, music with a generous twist of humour has proved tope the mix that makes Canadian Brass one of the Canada's most successful groups and one of our most popular ambassadors to countries like Russia and China. After all, the group must be successful - how else could they afford a matching set of gold-plated trumpets, trombone, French horn and tuba? Last Wednesday's sellout concert at Blyth proved one of the most popular events in the history of the Blyth Centre for the Arts" winter programs. Also, it proved though we' may not have much opportunity to hear good music in Huron County, we sure do appreciate, it when we do! From the Shreveport Stomp to Concerto for Piccolo Trumpet to Charles "Chuck" Daellenbach's unique tuba solo, Flight of the Bumblebee, the Canadian Brass delighted the audience. And at the reception after the" show, Members 'of -the group visited with the audience over coffee and sweets, signed record albums or programs and proved to be as accessible themselves as their music is. It might only be in period as they edged the Centenaires 4-3. The Braves led 1-0 after the first and the teams were tied 3-3 after the second. The Centenaires had plenty of good scoring opportunities but failed to capitalize. Jerome Aubin, Paul , McClure and Mike Feeney were the Centenaire marks- men. The Braves outshot the Centenaires 46-39 in the 'game and picked up 13 of 23 minor penalities called. The next game for the Centhnaires will be this Friday night in Exeter. They travel to Lucan next Wednegday night for a game with the Irish before re- turning home for a Sunday afternoon contest (Dec. 3) against the Tavistock Braves.

SE NSORS But even with the Blyth . Ere selling out the tickets for the Canadian Brass concert, th group couldn't have made the trip to Blyth without the financial assistance of two other groups - the Ontario Art Council and some generous sponsors in Huron County, , ' The Blyth Centre for the Arts board is concerned they won't be able to offer Huron County residents as many theatrical or musical events in the future. The reason is the federal government's decision to cut $80 million from their support of the arts. This squeeze has already foit'ed groups like London's Centre Stage company to _announce they are folding, and has reduced the touring schedule of ballet companies, theatre groups, etc. The Blyth bpar is .asking anyone who enjoys either concerts like the o presented by the Canadian Brass or any other events the theatre to write to MP Robert McKinley, and possible the three federal party leaders, and express support for arts events. Postage is free when writing to members of parliament. If the sh,t, is going to go on, it takes a great deal of behind th ...nes financing. We music-starved individuals don't net.,d 76 trombones, but it would be good to think we might have two trumpet players, a trombonist, a French horn playek and that cute Dr. Daellenbach and his tuba back to Blyth someday for a repeat performance.

(Expositor photo) Seaforth police are muting there's been a good response to the amnesty program which allows gun owners to turn in prohibited weapons or register restricted weapons without penalty. ' • The amnesty program continues across Canada until the end of N ovember. Cons. table Dave Dale said Seaforth residents had turned in one gun for disposal, 13 guns for registration and 57 rounds of old ammu- nition by the end of last week. He said the majority of guns brought in to be registered were picked up as souvenirs or keepsakes and have been in the home for years. Under recent federal legislation, a number of weapons are now. prohibited in Canada including sub machine guns, tank guns, sawed off shotguns, switch blade knives and various martial arts weapons. Prohibited Weapons Other prohibited weapons include any devices using chemicals or electricity to immobilize or incapacitate people. This includes spray cans of mace and weapons such as a flashlight which could to activated to shoot out darts charged with electricity at an attacker. If any of the above weapons are turned over to the police in November, no penalty is attached, but after this month, anyone found with the prohibited weapons will be charged with criminal offence. Restricted weapons are guns which the public may still keep in their home, but the police must know who owns them and where they guns are at all times. The weapons which fall into the restricted category include handguns, and semi-. automatic weapons with barrel length less than 181/2 inches. Restricted weapons are guns which can be easily concealed and used to committ a crime. Under the new gun laws, registrations for restsricted weapons. will be issued only to applicants who have a legitimate need to possess the guns. Restricted Weapons Some of the legitimate 'needs include to protect life, ,which -would mean the gun owner was a professional bodyguard; for use in connection with a lawful occupation, such as a police officer, game warden or sheriff, and for use in target practise by members of an accredited shooting club. Other people who own guns for use in target practice without being members of ad7 gun club must get a permit from the &lice to convey their gun from their home to the target site each time they take part in target practise. Perhaps the largest number of owners of restricted guns fall into the category of gun collectors. These people can keep restricted weapons in their home if they are a bona fide collector, possess a• valid firearms acquis- ition permit for the gun (new this January) and don't have a criminal record. Also, people can keep restricted weapons in their home if the gun is a relic - any firearm that is valued as a curiosity or a, rarity _.er any firearm valued as a remembrance, souvenir or momenta, such as weapons brought back from the war. Under the new laws, all restricted weapons must be registered with the police, so they will have a record of the gun. Also, owners of restricted weapons are legally responsible for their firearms and for what happens to them. If these guns are stolen, it should be reported immediately, or else the owner can be held partially responsible if a crime is committed using the weapons. Rifles,. Shotguns Segurth police have also been receiving a number of requests regarding sporting rifles and shotguns used for .hunting. Under the new law, any guns hunters own now don't have to be registered. However,. starting Jan. 1, 1979 anyone who wishes to purchase a sporting rifle or shotgun must have a firearms acquisitions permit before the store owner can legally sell him the gun. The permits can be obtained at any police department at the cost of $10 and are good, for five years anywhere in Canada. The police have a right to refuse to issue permits to anyone with a serious criminal record or a history of mental instability which has resulted in violence. When the purchaSer recieves his acquis- itions permit, then the store owner will automatically register the gun by serial number to the owner. A Penalties Constable Dale 'said as well as stricter gun control laws, the federal government has also approved-legislation providing stricter penalties for offenders who use firearms while committing a crime. Under the Criminal Code, anyone who uses a firearm while committing or attempt- ing to commit an indictable criminal offence os uses a firearm during flight from the same is liable, for the first ofi,.:nce, to a prison term of from one of 14 years; and for a subsequent offence, from three to 14 years. The, 'sentence for using a firearm ,would lze ,iiiiddifion to the sentence for any other crime the offender is charged with commit- ting.
