The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-10-07, Page 19lyth Festival sets new attendance recors
BY JOANNE
BUCHANAN
The figures are in on the
biggest season ever at the
Blyth Summer Festival.
More than 26,000 persons
attended regular per
formances during the ex-
tended 10 -week season.
From the first show to the
last, new records were set
and broken.
Quiet in the Land opened
the Festival and set the first
record by averaging 91.6 per
cent capacity, breaking the
first record of 89 per cent set
last year by I'll Be Back For
You Before Midnight.
The Tomorrow Box
smashed the record again by
filling° 95 per cent of the
seats.
He Won't Come In From
The Barn then beat that
record by playing to nearly
96 per cent of capacity to end
the season.
Balanced against these
records were the more
disappointing attendances
for Love or Money and Fire
on Ice. Love averaged 61 per
cent and Fire46.
In all however, the season
average was some 393
persons per night, 80 per cent
of capacity. There were also
21 straight sold -out per-
formances to finish up the
season in a rush. In total
Tid Bits
there were 41 sold -out per-
formances. Two benefit
performances, one for the
Actors' Fund of Canada and
one for the Building Fund
were also either sold out or
nearly so, bringing overall
attendance for the suanmer
to more than 27,000 paid, a
far cry from the 2,900 who
came to see that f irst season,
seven summers ago.
Plans for next summer are
incomplete except that there
is a good possibility Quiet In
The Land will return.

Costumes should
be safe Halloween
Dressing up for Halloween
is fun and exciting for
children. But parents should
make sure that costumes are
sate and comfortable to
wear, say clothing
specialists with the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and ..
Food.
Good fit is important.
Children will be walking
from house to house so the
costume should be large
enough to allow unrestricted
movement. Also, there
should be ample room for
warm clothing underneath if
needed. However, keep the
costume a. reasonable length
to avoid tripping.
„ Avoid plastic fabrics or
. similar types. They don't
allow moisture to evaporate
away from the body, and
may cause chills, especially
on a cold October night. ,also
avoid crepe paper which is
flammable.
Increase your child's
safety, by using light-colored
fabrics or by attaching
reflectivetape to clothing.
Two types of tape are
available. Reflective tape
reflects oncoming light;'such
as car headlights, directly to
its source. Fluorescent tape
seems to • glow because it
emits light and reflects it off
its surface. Thus, this type of
tape is very bright during tthe
day but is not as effective at
night. Reflective tape is the
best choice for your child's
costume
Apply tape to the upper
arms, backs and fronts of the
clothing. Tape can be ironed
on but to insure permanent
attachment, ,machine stitch
to the costume.
Masks are not recom-
mended because they can be
dangerous if they hamper
vision. To create a dramatic
or comical face, use makeup
instead. -
Here are some -final tips to
create . a .safe Halloween
costume. Avoid dangling
parts that could get caught in
°gates. or railings. Don't
secure the costume with
safety pins that could open if
the child falls.
These guidelines are
recommended not only for
costumes on Halloween, but
can be followed fo'r your
child's everyday clothing
too.

Mrs. Rau's Grade 1-2 class

Mrs. Brown's Grade 2.3
class has adopted a tree

they are caring for. They put
a red ribbon around the tree.

Mr. McConnell's Grp 5
class visited Sky Harbour
Airport outside of Goderich.
They are studying "flight"
intheir science course and
were gathering information
on how planes work. Mr.
Machan has kindly donated
his plane for the youngsters
to tour.
The biggest single problem
associated with 'school bus
operation is still the number
of drivers who refuse to give
way to the flashing lights
indicating pupils are either
boarding or leaving a bus.
Every school hus driver
knows the problem of the
auto, van or twit driver who
is. in so much of a rush, or
who is so oblivious to the
environment, that flashing
lights are ignored.
The fact that we have not,
in Canada, experienced ,an
epidemic of school bus ac-
cidents is purely a matter of
good luck, not good driving.
The potential. for tragedy is
enormous, and parents must
wait in doubt each day,
hoping their child or children
.will' return from ./school
safely.
The Safety Council won-
ders how many children
must die before effective
measures are taken to en-
force existing laws, to
determine why they are so
often ignored, and if
necessary, to improve the
warning devices on the •
school buses themselves.
School Bus Safety Week is
being observed from October
24 to 30 and .the theme this
year .is "Wait A Minute!"
This theme can readily., be
applied to drivers, but need
not end there. It can. also
apply to the. students - wait
before crossing the road to
ensure it is safe, wait to get
on or of f the bus in an orderly
manner. It can apply 'to the
school bus ,driver - wait a
minute to get.there safely, or
to an l other people in-
volved in school tran-
sportation.-
