Re -open balcony
at Blyth Festival
At long last, theatre -goers
who prefer a bird's eye view
of the preceedings will get
their fondest wish realized at
the Blyth Memorial Hall.
For the first time since the
building was put back into
general use in 1975, 88
balcony seats will be
available to the general
public. The re -opening of the
balcony appropriately
commemorates the diamond
jubilee of the hall. Blyth
Memorial Hall has
originally housed many of
the famous performers and
vaudeville shows that toured
Southwestern Ontario in the
1920's.
This year also marks the
completion of an extensive
renovation and expansion
project. Over the past two
years, the Board of Directors
of the Blyth Centre for the
Arts have spearheaded a
$316,000.00 project to bring
MOMOISSIMINIMISISIMMISMISIONOWAIONSIMOW
the theatre up to the stan-
dards demanded by modern
theatrical productions and
today's fire and health
regulations.
Since 1978, features added
have included air con-
ditioning, new offices,
dressing rooms and storage
space, new washroom
facilities and entrance
faciltities for the physically
- handicapped, improved fire
protection as well as the re-
opening of the balcony.
The Board of Directors is
currently involved in a
$70,000.00 community fund-
raising campaign to help
meet the costs of the
renovation.
The 1980 season of the
Blyth Summer Festival
opens July 4, 1980 and runs
until August 30. Tickets and
information are available by
calling 519-523-9300.

Miscellaneous Rumblings
ions compared to 67,491 in 1978.
Lawyers in the province were kept busy this past
year as 21,640 divorces were filed, an increase of 900
over the previous year, the annual report of the
Registrar general's office stated.
An interesting phenomena is the dramatic in-
crease in the use of hyphenated or combined sur-
names for children. In 1979 282 combined surnames for
children were recorded, up from 149 the previous year.
When you think of it this really isn't too surprising
if you take into consideration the rapid changes sur-
rounding the makeup of marriages today.
In more and more cases both spouses are working
or exchanging roles.
It just follows that the wife and the husband would
like to see visible proof of the women's contribution to
the marriage.
The idea is great but you can imagine what might
happen a few generations down the road when little
Johnny or Suzie goes off to their first kindergarten
class.
"Johnny (or Suzie) please tell the class what your
name is."
"Mrs. Jones and fellow classmates, my name is
Johnny (Suzie) Smith -Jones -Watson- Reynolds -Ripley-
Tunks."
If nothing else, such a name sure is a great way to
learn the alphabet.

If There Really Is
No Need For
Continuous Advertising
Ministers
Should preach only one sermon or so o year.
People are against sin anyway, so why harp on if
Traffic Lights
Should be turned off at dangerous intersections to
save electricity. Everybody knows it's a dangerous
spot and that is sufficient.
Police
Should stop driving up and down the highways.
No need to caution drivers by patrolling highways.
Drivers know the law and obey it.
Teachers
Shouldn't review lessons. Tel! children just once
and they'll never forget it.
BUT
If you are one of the foolish kind—like the
Notre Dame Cathedral that has stood for six
centuries but continues to ring the bell every
day to let people know it is still there- and
b elieve in continuous profitable advertising,
then your advertising belongs in-
