of the building to the Either
Street playground.
Member Dennis Snider said
that there would be a park
somewhere. He explained
that the old building would be
renovated for council
chambers and that there was
a fifty-fifty chance that it
would be moved from the
park. There is a difference of

building.

to the group about the har-
bour plans for Grand Bend.

J. McPherson A. R. Wells,
Chairman. Director of Education.
,I
brought back an era,
sometimes wished to be
forgotten, to a packed house
at Huron Country Playhouse
last week. The production
was Butterflies are Free.
It is a story of a blind boy,
played by David Nairn, who
seeks independence, a
runaway girl (Marcia Kash)
and a mother (Aileen Taylor -
Smith). That's the grim part.
Author Leonard Gershe has
enough perspective to turn it
to comedy and there are lots
of very funny one-liners in the
two -act production.
Kash, as the flakey Jill Tan-
ner, is again a tiger on stage.
She moves well and is
quicksilver in dialogue. As the
blind boy, Don Baker, (little
Donny Dark) David Nairn
responds well to the author's
expectations for emotion.
Aileen Taylor -Smith, as
usual a joy on stage, is ob-
viously a mother with ex-
perience and as well an ac-
tress whose timing is honed to
the second. Her entrance at
the end of act one is worth the
price of a ticket.
Director John Kozak has
put together a good tidy
package. Ile has allowed the
rat -a -tat humour without tak-
ing away from the history of
the times. The "Make Love
Not War!' theme turns from
irony to truth but not without
a struggle. Until the end of the
play one is not certain if love
is ' war or war is love.
However, the red curtain of
the playhouse does go down
once again with love resolved.
And once again this year it
is a production in which there
is cohesion between director,
designers and actors.
Bridge club news,
Four tables of duplicate
bridge played the Howell
movement Wednesday night
at St. John's l'arish hall. Win-
ners were: first Jean Gibson
and Eudene Adams, the latter

ing out to play may phone
