The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-09-01, Page 5Instjtute prize winnerstilvalues water color
Dear Editor,
In reading the Women's
Institute history [review in
the Signal -Star of August 18,
I noted that the Institute
gave prizes to Grade 8.
I was the recipient of that
prize in 1926. On the En-
trance Exams, I had the
highest marks in the area in
history, geography and com-
position but I could only
receive one prize. The In-
. stitute decided I should have
a better prize than they
usually gave. I received a
water colour, "The
Meadows" by Gozzard, pur-
chased at Smith's Art Store.
It is a beautiful picture
ETTERS
mounted in gold matting and
frame.
" It has always held a promi-
nent place in our living
room; my mother's house on
Bruce Street, Goderich from
1926 to 1947, then at Jarona
Farms, Mahon from 1947 to
1970, then Princess Anne
Crescent, Islington from 1970
to 1979. It now hangs in my
daughter's diningroom in St:
Marys.
About four years ago I had
an art dealer tell me it is a
very valuable painting. It
certainly has been that for
Me. •
I thought the Institute
would like to know, one of
their prizes wasn't put in a
dusty closet and forgotten.
Yours truly,
Margaret Huston See,

Western Night at the Livery
Theatre is success despite weather
What does it take to lure a
man out of retirement after
seven years? It takes a
worthy cause and some
enthusiastic prodding..
The worthy cause was
'Western Nite' at •The
Livery. The enthusiastic
prodding was provided by
members and friends of the
Goderich, Arts Foundation.
The man asked to come out
of •:retirement was Elgin
Fisher.
Elgin's band wasa popular
headliner at the Commercial
Hotel in Seaforth for several
years: Persuading him to
gather his group together for
Saturday night proved a
delight to many people. With
only one hour's rehear 1, he
was back in the ' g of
things.
Western Nite happened m
spades in spite of inclement
weather. A flurry of activity
and some ingenuity turned
the adjacent building into a
barn dance'setting.
Elgin and his band (Bruce
Ryan, Francis Schram and
Audrey Kerr) played for the
majority of the evening.
They called on Ebb and Bill
Ross' and Sam Wain to
embellish a \ few numbers.
Bev Ryan and Gary Ross
also answered the call by
coming out of the audience to
'sing a couple of songs.
Intervals of blue grass
musie. by • -Brian Aiaslie's
Shane's Creek provided a
change of pace. This band is
relatively newand hopefully
.we'll be hearing from them a
lot in the future. The
members are Brian Ainslie,
Fred James, Brian Petrie,
Rick Milburn and Mike
Reynolds.
There wasno lull in the
entertainment. Gard.
Harrison expertly tickled the
ivories, accompanied by
Frances Schram on guitar
'for a few numbers of `.slow
dancin'.
Ernie
t as M.C. made,
sure everything rolled along
smoothly. He, Fordyce Clark
and Sam Mcllwain all did
admirable jobs of calling
square dances.
All of these talented people
donated their services. The
only pay they received was
the delight of the audience
who showed ' their ' ap-
Predation with a lot of high
