Dear Sir:
Genealogy is becoming
more and more popular of
late and during the past few
years the number of people
tracing their family has
grown tremendously.
Members of the Huron Coun-
ty Genealogical Society are
frequently asked for informa-
tion on "how to get started."
We have therefore decided
to hold a "Beginner's Night"
in an attempt to assist those
who want to start, have just
begun or those who don't
know where to look next. It
will be held on April 6th at
7.30 p.m. in the board room of
the Assessment Office, 57
Napier St., Goderich. En-
trance and parking are at the
rear.
There is no charge for this
workshop and an excellent
program has been prepared.
Anyone at all interested in fin-
ding their "roots" is most
welcome to attend. Further
information is available from
Alison Lobb, Chairman,
482-7167.
Thank you;
Sincerely
Carole Robinson f Miss
Press Secretary

trol zones. It opens June 28.
The third presentation of
the season, opening July 19,
will feature two different one-
man, one -act plays. Called

life, peddling his ware
through the Cape Breton
area. The play was first
presented at Nova Scotia's
Mulgrave Road Theatre.
Part 2 of Maritime Faces
will be Naked On The North
Shore, Ted Johns' tale of his
experiences, as a young
teacher in a remote fishing
village on the Quebec -
Labrador border. The star of
such Blyth hits as He Won't
Come In From The Barn will
both write and perform the
show.
Renowned Quebec writer
Gratien Gelinas provides The
Innocent and The Just as the
fourth production opening
August 2. When a respectable
small-town family finds their
son implicated in a murder to
which their simple-minded
servant Bousille is a key
witness, they do everything in
their power to change
Bousille's testimony.

Name housing members
Two Huron County
residents have been ap-
pointed to the County Housing
Authority, Housing Minister

Barry Reid, a chartered ac-
countant formerly of Exeter,
and Harold Robinson, an in-
surance agent with Howick

past warden for Huron Coun-
ty, will serve on the seven -
member authority which

dividuals for appointment to
the housing authority by pro-
vincial order -in -council. The
province appoints the housing
authority chairman.
Commenting on the ap-
pointment, OHC chairman
Allan Moses noted that the
day-to-day management of all
of OHC's 94,000 housing units
is carried out by local housing
authorities, although the
primary responsibility for
assisted housing remains with
OHC.
"By volunteering their time
to serve on the local housing
authority, private citizens like
Reid and Robinson are help-
ing to ensure that Ontario's
assisted housing program is
sensitive and can respond to
the needs of .the many com-
munities it serves," said
Moses.

Authority -manages 331 senior
citizen assisted housing units
and 84 units for low-income
families. The authority also
