VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL - "Scamp" and "Scooter" were the two
pirates who searched every day for the weeks of July 8-12 for
treasure-- but it wasn't gold or jewels they looked for, it was the
"Search for God's Treasures". Each day, Kim Genttner of HensaII (left)
and Susan Rumbold of Dashwood acted out a short skit to teach the
children God's way to deal with such behaviour as greed or envy.
Playhouse
'best seat
Even if you sutler from vertigo
there is no need to remain downstairs
at the Huron County Playhouse. The
new 100 seat balcony completed this
year just days before the opening of
the season offers some of the best
seats in the Theatre. and the only ad-
ditional price you pay is a climb up
a few stairs.
The great advantage is that you
don't have to lean to the left or right
to avoid that tall or broad shouldered
patron right in front of you. Each row
of seating is stepped up above the one
in front enough that heads in front of
you are at about knee level.
Still sounds too high and steep?
Well it's not! In fact the wide foot
space and firm railing allows easy
and comfortable passztge to your seat
even for the most pedestrian of souls
who like their feet on solid ground.
Approached up a broad flight of
cast concrete stairs, the steel and con-
crete balcony spans the width of the
theatre like a ten foot wide' bridge
about twolthirds of the way hack in
the theatre. A marvel of architectural
engineering by Lett Smith Architects
of Toronto the original architects of
the theatre over ten years ago,. the
stress factor of the steel girder•s•ac•-
tualls strengthens the building with
the weight of the seemingly unsup-
ported balcony.

OPP detachment kept busy
Goose, cash stolen in resort
The Age of Atom brought with it
words like '•Fall Out" and "Fall Out
Shelter". We don't hear them too
often anymore. Good fall out protec-
tion is available to everyone who
drives or rides in a car. It is called a
"Seat Belt".
These words are food for thought
from Provincial Constable A.V. Gaal
at the Grand Bend detachment of the
O.P.P. With t17 cases to deal with dur-
ing the past week. it's reassuring to
know the boys in blue can still take
time to be concerned about safe driv-
ing habits.
As well as dealing with an unusual
theft of about 20 bottles of liquor from
the Colonial Ilotel after closing time
and the theft of the day's receipts
from "My Sister's Closet" shop. there
were 41 liquor related offences, five
roadside breath tests, five twelve
hour driving suspensions, one im-
paired driver and one charge dealt
with under the narcotic control act.
In addition, constable Gaal, who is
also a qualified marine operator, is
part of the O.P.P. patrol boat team
which operates out of Port Franks. In
the water. :17 vessels were checked.
11 were given warnings about regula-
tions and one small vessel charge was
made. Two other marine related li-
quor charges were laid.
All in all busy week for the 22 man
detachment. -
Special service
Jazz is coming to Grand Bend
'United Church Sunday!
'It will be in the form of a liturgy
based on the parable of the prodigal
son. Summer resident, Norm Tufts, is
the driving force behind the special 11
a.m. service on July 21.
Tufts, whose family background is
in Kirkton, wrote nine pieces of the
music. The jazz liturgy was perform-
ed last year in the composer's home
church. Olivet United. Hamilton.
Olivet's minister, Rev. Charles
-Beaton. will narrate the spoken pro -
tion of the service. The Phil Murphy
sextet will perform the music.
Jazz and religion aren't really
strangers. according to Tufts. it had
its roots in the church long before it
came up the river to New Orleans. he
says. In his view, Bach. whose music
is most familiar to church congrega-
tions, was the founder of jazz.
Tufts. in technical publications for
the Ford motor company, along with
wife Bette and two of their four
children are summer residents of the
Grand Bend area. Jazz composing
has been a consuming avocation since
his days as a dance -band trombonist
at Ryerson Institute of Technology in
Toronto.
