find a fellow who plans`
fhe family al
otrt'going south
s j,even too unusual to,
working vacation and takes
to help him "'mix business and
pleasure.
Eut w ''en a --fellow plans' -a working vacation for the
entire family, that's unusual ....especially when the
working vacation turns out to ,be one which has no
reward but satisfaction for a job well done.
Don McMillan, his wife- Shirley, and the couple's
three children, son Ernie and daughters Eleanor and
Elizabeth, are 'planning just such- a working vacation.
They leave Goderich . Saturday to drive to Florida
where' tivy will join , American Evangelist John
Woodhou4e for a-- tour of crusades for Christ in The
Sunshine State and the West Indies. '
The McMillan,s met John Woodhouse when he was
in .Goderich during the past summer. The.evangelist
' later honored the musical McMillans by inviting them
td join a three week tour commencing Friday, January
26 in Albright Church, St. Petersburg, and carrying
•-----them-to,Miami,.the_Bahamas, •Jamaica, Haiti, Spanish
Wells Island and other points in the West Indies.
Excitement began to- mount last fall for the family
when initial plans were laid for the winter holiday
tour.
The children had to arrange for time away fro,
school. Ernie, 15, is a grade 10 student at Goderich
District Collegiate Institute. Eleanor, 13, is in Grade 8
at Roberton Memorial School and Elizabeth is a grade
4 student there.
Don McMillan is a •Public Utilities Commission em-
ployee and is using his vacation time for this impor-
tant jaunt.
Mrg. McMillan, a memlpr of The Treble Singers and
a -sometime actresivith Goderich Little Theatre, has
been busy for the past few weeks packing .bags, co-
ordinating the family's on-the-roa•d and off-dut`v•war-
drobe and attending to last minute details necessary
for the journey.

brass hand since a very early age.
During the, past. three years, the family has been ac-
tive, playing on religious programs via Barrie- and
Wingham TV. They are, always in 'demand locally,
especially at church services in and around Goderich.
The -family seldom turns down an otter to perform -and
is highly respected for its service to •the community.
The talented McMillan group provides a varied
program. Father Don who plays trombone and mother
Shirley who plays clarinet, saxophone and piano,
.sometime combine in vocal duets. Son Ernie plays lead
trumpet. Eleanor plays clarinet and" saxophone and
Elizabeth plays second trumpet.
In addition to all her other duties, Mrs. McMillan is
the music arranger for the family.
For the past year and , a half, Frank Bissett of
.Goderich has been the family's piano accompanist,
Regretfully, Mr. Bissett will be unable to make the
tour with his friends'hut along with all the McMillan
friends and admirers, will be wishing them bon voyage'
and God speed this weekend.. •
