The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-01-31, Page 9theatre manager said.
"Well the whole idea had been
to keep the original rustic look of
the barn. If we were going to have
to put steel beams in, we might
just as well have put up whole
steel warehouse,"
"What we're going to do in-
stead is build another kind of
barn, in two phases,' where the
tent has been, We'll build it out of
used wood from old barns in the
area."
The first phase will be struc-
ture to house the stage, It will be
separate from the present barn,
but connected to it by a
breezeway roof, The second
phase will house the audience.
This structure will be open-sided
initially but may be walled in
later, Mr. Murphy said.
Both phases will proceed as
finances permit.
Cost estimates are currently
being worked out. Another fund-
raising campaign is planned for
this year. In 1973, the theatre
raised approximately $25,000
locally to help with renovation of
the barn, Labor was.paid for by a
$30,000 Local Initiatives Program
grant, )
The barn now houses a dining
area, art gallery, dressing rooms
and washrooms, scene shop,
wardrobe room and storage
space.
Mr. Murphy said he hopes to
continue last season's ex-
periment of providing dinner
before the plays. Pre-curtain
buffet dinners were served
throughout the final week of last
year's season, to help celebrate
the premiere of the theatre's first
Canadian play. The Hand That
Cradles The Rock.
The dinners proved so popular
that an effort will , be made to
offer them "once or twice a
week" throughout the 1974
season, the manager said,

Marching mothers boost
Ability Fund's coffers
The local chairman of the
Ability Fund, Mrs. Dorothy Pfaff
said Wednesday morning she is
. hopeful the canvass which' was
l2pgun Monday night would reach
(Plhq year's total,
With 37 of 42 Marching Mothers
reporting in, the fund has
reached a figure of $1,095. In
addition 400 letters have been
sent out to residents of Stephen
township. The 1973 canvass
netted $1,271.
Usborne township is also being
canvassed during the month of
February. Anyone who was
missed in the blitz Monday night
and wishes to make a donation
should contact Mrs. Pfaff at 235-
2013.
Two years ago, the Ontario
Ability Fund director was in
Exeter in answer to a complaint
from Mrs. Pfaff that some of the
materials used on the canvass
were too bulky.
Mrs. Pfaff said Wednesday,
"the materials are much better,
the receipts are easier to han-
dle."
The name of the campaign, the
Ability Fund came into existence
in 1968 replacing the former
March of Dimes.
The Abiility Fund is committed
to helping handicapped adults in
Ontario to become usefttl, self-
respecting citizens.
If any disabled person in the
area wants assistance they
should contact the Rehabilitation
Foundation in Toronto or Mrs.
Pfaff in Exeter.

H uron Country- Playhouse
to open two weeks earlier
The Huron Country Playhouse
will open two weeks earlier than
usual this year, on June 26.
The plays are expected to be
announced in about two weeks,
theatre manager James Murphy
said Monday night,
As usual, a new play will open
each Wednesday for eight weeks,
Each new play will run till the
following Sunday night.
The season will include
Broadway and West End
comedies and musicals, and
possibly the premiere of a
Canadian comedy, Mr. Murphy
said.
The plays will be presented in
the playhouse tent for a third
season, Plans to move the per-
formance into the renovated loft
of the adjoining barn have been
scrapped,
"We had some engineers in to
look at the barn and they said the
wooden beams would have to be
replaced with steel beams," the
book published
about airwomen
After years of planning and
research, a book about the
Women's Division of the R.C.A.F.
is now available.
The factual, humorous and
illustrated hard cover book has
been published through the ef-
forts of the RCAF (WD)
Association. It is the first story of
the RCAF airwomen serving
from 1941 to the current Air
Element.
The Association has been
formed since 1948 and involves
itself with charitable work.
The book may be purchased by
sending $4.50 to the book com-
mittee of the association at P.O.
Box 712, Hamilton, Ontario.
Suggest student help
"Youth hostels may provide a
new source of harvest labor on
Canadian farms," says John
Manion, Assistant Deputy
Minister of Manpower, Canada
Department of Manpower and
Immigration.
Manion told delegates at the
annual meeting of the Ontario
Fruit & Vegetable Growers
Association that 1,300,000
secondary and post-secondary
students will be on holiday at
harvest time, next summer.
"Many of these youths are
exploring the country on a
shoestring and can use a few days
of field work to help pay for their
travels."
Manion adds that these
students could help farmers cope
with their peak labor needs in
mid-summer.

her your affection - give her more free time for the

Deputy reeve speaks to
public school students
the road committee, as students
suggested the names of streets
that needed repair.
She also told us the very unique
and interesting way of voting for
the County Warden.
She commented too, on the
town's budget and the new fire
truck, garbage truck and police
cruiser we hope to get.
We all agreed that it is so much
more ipteresting to learn
something from a person with
first-hand information then by
trying tolearn it from a book.
MORE INTERESTED
THAN ADULTS.
Mrs. Jermyn said later she was
impressed by the interest shown
by the students,
She added, "they were cer-
tainly concerned about the pot
holes and sewer installation on
their streets."
"The students were much more
interested in problems in Exeter
than they were at the county
level, " added Mrs. Jermyn.
The Exeter deputy-reeve is
making arrangements to take a
group of local students to a
county council session in the
spring.
