ancestors is .becoming an increasingly
popular pastime. It can also be a very dif-
ficult and frustrating undertaking. Anyone
who has thought about researching their
family tree or local history has probably
ound themselves asking the following ques-
tions: Where 'do I begin? What records are
available? Where do I find them? . What
organizations can help me? All these ques-
tions, and many more, will be answered at
the Bayfield Branch Library on Wed. May
15th at 2:30 p.m. by noted Canadian
genealogist and author, Angus Baxter.
Angus Baxter, who lives in Lakefield, On-
tario, is a long-time member of the Society
of Genealogists in London, England, and the
Ontario Genealogical Society. During his
thirty years' experience in the field, he has
traced the ancestors of many .prominent
Canadians, as well as following his own
family history back to the twelfth century.
He is much in demand as a lecturer on this
topic, and has appeared all over Canada to

The Friends of the Blyth Festival are a
volunteer corps who help -the theatre in a
number of useful ways, from baking cookies
to manning stalls, from ushering to selling
programs. What do they get in return?.
Friends of the Festival receive the bi-
monthly newsletter and will be invited to
dress rehearsals ( and see the plays ahead of
everyone else). More "perks" are currently
being discussed.
All Friends of the Festival are invited to
get together for a brain -storming session on
Tuesday, May 14, at 8:00 p.m. in the dining
room of the Blyth Inn (dessert and coffee
will be served). In addition, the Blyth
Festival warmly invites everyone in-
terested in becoming a Friend to attend -
current Friends are encouraged to bring
friends of theirs who might he interested in
joining in our activities. The time commit-
ment asked may be as little as a few hours
over the summer, and the rewards are
many.
New Friends will be paired with a board
member to show them the ropes and make
sure theymeet the other "Friends" and
board mmbers. Many topics are slated for
discussion, among them: Should the
Friends form a more formal association?
Should they undertake various activities
themselves (fund-raising, housing for ac-
tors, etc.)? Plus many others. We want your
input, ideas, and suggestions.
Be a Friend, bring a friend • and make
new friends.

pa Borgal at 523-9300.
Goderich area artist
featured in Blyth
A reception for artist, Brian Dalton, will
be held at the Blyth Festival Gallery on May
11 at 7:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come
and meet with Mr. Dalton and see the ex-
hibition of his work wrhich will remain on
display throughout May. Born in the
Goderich area, Dalton presently resides in
Palmerston and teaches at the Norwell
District Secondary School. The paintings
and drawings in this collection focus on the
bridges near his home.
Painting has always been a part of
Dalton's life. He is a graduate in fine arts
from the Ontario College of Art and Univer-
sity of Guelph. Over the years he has taught
in Guelph, Owen Sound, London and the
Quebec Arctic. Exhibitions of his work have
been mounted in numerous Ontario centres,
most recently at the Kurtzville Country
Gallery. The show in Blyth is dedicated to
Kurtzville's curator, Bill Acres.
When asked about painting, Dalton
replied: "Picasso said, "Everyone wants to
understand art, why not try to understand
the song of a bird?"
There is a world out there not available to
language that we only see out of the corner
of our eye. If something of a magical order

happens when I look at the world, then an in-
evitable decision is made commanding that
I make some kind of a painting in response
to that object or situation. Consciously, I
have no formulae or rules to why or how I
create art. If, for a moment, a painting can
free one from learned concepts and make
the world of physical reality available to us
in all its glory, then that painting has helped
us to get in, touch with that separate and in-
finitely more profound reality upon which
we attempt to apply our latest theory.
Maybe then, my art can help one to notice
the song of a bird or the shape of a bridge.
The Blyth Festival Gallery is open for
viewing Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 5:00. Ad-
mission is free.,
