A tribute to Disney family
The Goderich Township Sesquicentennial
Committee has paid tribute to the Disney
family and their recurring connections with
the township through a collector's plate.
The Disney family moved to the
Holmesville area from Ireland during the
1840's. Walt Disney returned to the area in
1947 to see the grave sites of his ancestors.
,More recently the Disney Company
sought a builder for a show wagon for use at
the 100th Anniversary of the World Per-
cheron Congress, held at the Calgary
Stampede, in 1983. Having seen the ex-
cellent craftmanship of Goderich Township
builder, Tom Penhale, they commissioned
him for this task. Penhale said they told him,
later they had seen over forty other wagons
and the designer was very impressed when
he examined a wagon in Penhale's shop.
Again the Disney name became associated
with Goderich Township.
Penhale and his son, ftick, were given six
weeks to complete the hitch wagon using
blueprints created by a designer from
Disney World. He said they were allowed -to•
alter the plans, if necessary, since this was
the first hitch wagon designed by Disney
World. Normally, three months are re-
gyyfired to build a wagon, thus many long
deb were necessary. This now famous
wagon was painted (in 18 days) in shades of,.
blue, gold and silver by an artist fro'
Disney World.
The Disney entry won. the World Per-
cheron eight -horse Hitch Championship in

Calgary. A framed photograph with a, pla-
que of this locally built wagon was
..presented to Tom and Carol Penhale by the
Disney Company.
The idea to produce a collector's plate
with this hitch wagon emerged; however,
permission from Disney World was needed.
Penhale was the obvious person to seek ap-
proval from the Disney legal department.
When he phoned California he was flatly
turned down since the Disney naive is rarely
allowed for use by any group. He also called
the designer, whom he got to know well dur-
ing the wagon's construction, and the
manager of the Disney World ranch in
Florida. He said he *as amazed to get a
phone call about a month later from the
legal offices to give approval.
The lady who phoned also was astonished
to think permission was granted. Mr.
Penhale felt certain his friends in Disney
World lent a great deal of support to obtain
this request.
Penhale saw one of the plates and was im-
pressed with its quality. The nine inch (22
cm) porcelain collector's plate has a
sharp, clear image of the hitch wagon, done
in a four colour process.. They are gold rim-
med and are being sold' for $15.00. The
original prder of the limited edition collec-
tor's' item is already half sold. The plates
carry an'inscription on the back.
The plates were felt to show honour to a
very respected name known not :only in
Goderich Township but around the world.

Bad day's
best stories
Three winners have been announced as
part of The Theatre circle's "bad day on the
job" competition.
The contest was announced last fall by the
theatre company as part of its plans to col-
lect stories of work experiences for a new
comedy play T.G.I.F. (Thank God It's Fri-
day) being written by Uwe Meyer and Keith
Roulston. The play deals with the problems
four people have in their jobs. The play will
be presented April 18 to 20 at Blyth .
Memorial Hall before going on tour to
Petrolia, Chatham and Owen Sound.
Mrs. Erland Greenwood of Listowel,
Karen Wyld of Ripley and Paul Carroll of
Seaforth were named co -winners of the
prize. Theirs were among a dozen very fun-
ny stories subniitted about work ex-
periences. "We felt the three storiesfor
selected gave the most opportunity
transfer to the stage," explained Roulston.
"While all the stories were very humorous,
many would be impossible to translate to
the stage without losing most of the humour.
As the play changes in writing and
rewriting, even these may not appear in the
final product but they've' given us in-
spiration along the way."
Each of the winners will receive two sets
of vouchers for the upcoming season which
begins with a production of the comedy -
thriller One Night Stand on March 7-9.
The subscription campaign for the upcom-
ing season is now underway. Volunteers will
be selling the subscription voucher
packages at $12 for two plays or they are
available from the Theatre Circle box of-
fice: Box 429 Blyth, Ont. or by calling 523-
9713.

The Junior Girls' Volleyball Team. took
part in their first league tournament of the
season on Wednesday, January 16 in St.
Mary's. They exhibited their skills against
the two opposing teams at Seaforth and
Stratford Central. The team's spirits were
hindered as' their efforts proved unsuc-
cessful against Stratford 'Central where
Central took both games with scores of 15-5
and 15-1. After a short break, the girls
played Seaforth emerging victorious with '
scores of 15-0 and 15-8. Their next game is .
scheduled to be played on February 12 in..

work as a team with plenty of school spirit to
achieve their ultimate goal.
