the spotlight with two Jersey
cows, three pigs and ,a
rooster. Most actors probably
don't mind co. -starring with
animals but to be upstaged by
them as well could prove to be
all too much for any self-
respecting,' sophisticated
stage artist.
Fortunately the Theatre
Passe Muraille troupe seems
-to consist of those down
home, earthy type actors who
don't seem to mind when one
of the cows answers the call
of nature on stage or when the
rooster tries to fly into the
audience or when one of the
cast members becomes
fr
wedged in between two
unyielding cow ends or even
when the pigs make so rnuCh
racket they drown out one of
the speeches in the play.
• He Won't Come „In From
The Barn opened in Blyth
Memorial Hall lat:Thursday
evening to a large and ap-
preciative audience, The play
is a comical yet dramatic
story of a farmer named
Elmer Clark who tries to lock
out the pressures and
changes of the modern world
by barricading himself in his
barn.
-This simple act of one
man's silent protest attracts
widespread , attention and
Clark unwittingly becomes a
farmer speaking on behalf of
all farmers, respected , by
some and called a looney by
others. A lot of truths are
revealed about farming,
through the play's plot,
among them is commentary
on governnlent regulations
and farm mechanization.
Ted Johns excells in hi S role
as Elmer Clark. He can say
more -with his slowly drawled
"Yep" -than he could say with
a long speech.VDespite his
.slow movements and sloppy
appearance, -Wisdom and
comedy shine through in the
character John creates.

named after the songs which
the artists listen to as they
work. Dyer says the paintings
are statements of colorand
some of them make social
statements as well. An
average of 150 hours goes into
eac.h -painting. The works
displayed in Goderich had a
total appraised value of
$14,000 or $200 per square
foot, None of the paintings
were for sale.
Formal Constructivism,
according to Dyer, is what's
happening right now in New
York and Europe. Top
Canadian artists and federal
officials see it as a major
movement, the next step in
art after Rembrandt and
Picasso, says Dyer. He says
tho, last • change in art took
place in New York City in 1952
and he claims that not one
significant thing has hap-
pened in art 'since abstract
impressionism died in the
U.S. in 156.
Robert Rauschenberg, a 52 -
year -old New York based
artist was a founder of
Formal Constructivism. The
three Ottawa based artists
with paintings on display in
Goderich were Bobb Dyer,
Rembrandt Dyer and Les
Lucas. All have art works
currently on view in England,
Germany, US. and Toronto.

PUC looks for tower site
The - Goderich Public
Utilities Commission is going
to try a different tact in
negotiating for property to
construct a proposed new
water tower in town. The
commission learned Thur-
sday night that its original
plan to trade off property
with Paul Schutz had fallen
through when the car dealer
expressed interest in.
retaining his lot the way it is.
The commission was told
by engineer Burns Ross that
the land in the rear of Schutz
Motors on Huron Road was a
good location for the tower
due to the height of the land
and its proximity to water
and sewer lines. The location
took in parts of two lots, one
owned by the town and one by
Schutz. The town's parcel is a
squared off lot while Schutz's
is a triangular piece.
•
The proposal given to
Schutz was that the town give
him a section of the lot they
owned in return for a portion
of his lot. By doing so the town
would have enbugh property
to construct the tower and
Schutz's parcel would be
squared off rather than
triangular.
Commissioner Herb
Murphy asked aim mission
manager Dave Roulston, who
had negotiated with Schutz, if
he 'had explained to him that
the land he Owned had limited
road access in the triangular
shape. Murphy said that the
road access was across the
front of the lot, the pointed
portion, and that the bulk of
the land to the rear had no
access except throagh the lot.
"I would think that it would
have better access if it were
squared off,- said Murphy.

Mayor Deb Shewfelt
suggested that the decision of
Schutz ..may be a
psychdlogical thing with the
thinking being that the tower
would detract from the parcel
of land. He said the car dealer
may not want the tower on his,
doorstep.
Murphy suggested that the
town ask the. neighboring
property owner, Borg-
Warner, if they Would be
interested in a trade off. He
said he couldn't understand
why Schutz would be per-
turbed at the prospect of
having the tower near his
land since it would only be 50
feet away if Borg-Warner
agreed to terms.
The commission voted to
take the Borg-Warner route
and asked Shewfelt to write
the firm with the proposal
asking them for a reply.

the paintings are concrete based. A minimum of $800 w,orth
of paint is used on each work. The works on display had an
appraised value of $140,000. (staff photo)
