Blyth Art Gallery now open The Blyth Festival art gallery has made a progressive step with the exhibition of works by Edwin Krauter. currently on display. The show marks the gallery's initiation as a year-round facility. The move comes as a response to the continuing interest by the public and frequent requests by artists for an extended season. On exhibition through Nov. are paintings, prints and plates by Ethel area artist Edwin Kreuter, Using a variety of mediums, he depicts the surrounding countryside and its residents, the down-home scenes from which he draws his inspiration. A recent departure from his usual work is his painting of the tall ship the Marquez, which he fortunately captured with his brush before it sank this summer. The Blyth Festival gallery will present a series of one -artist shows featuring local artists during the coming months. Any professional artists interested in displaying their work are asked to contact the box office for further information. Opened during normal box office and performance hours, the gallery is located adjacent to the box office at Blyth Memorial Hall. SHORT SHOTS by Evelyn Kennedy It is a mistake to take on too many projects at one time. One thing well done is better than two things not well done. Remembrance Day was, as so often it has been, a bleak. cold and rainy day. It makes one think that the dark clouds weep. along with those who gather to honor the war dead. At public services. in hospitals. homes or elsewhere. veterans. those who lost ones dear to them and many others we trust remember, hope and pray that individuals and nations will find other means to settle their differences and that soon there will he peace across all lands. Good manners are a mark of good breeding. A simple "Please" and "Thank You are easy to say and can win you friends and open doors. Even a smiling "Hello" to someone you scarcely know can brighten a lonely person's day. In the hectic rush of these times good manners seem to have been neglected along the way. We need to polish them u)5 and use them every day. pe**kgs As we grow older many of us tend to become apathetic. We should not let that happen It is a deadly state. We should keep our senses sharp. never lose our interest in anything. And we should keep abreast of things going on around us and around the world. If you have a taste for. and enjoy, music, the arts. crafts, sports. the love of nature, animals, keep that intelest alive. Even if our health is not what we would like it to be we can look, listen, read. to keep our brain alert and active. Do not let apathy overtake you for it means the loss of the zest of living. oasos*e A ten -year-old boy who had seen a sex film thought he knew all about that subject. When out for a walk with his father a truck with the sign "Specialists in Reproduction Furniture" passed them. The boy, with a knowing grin, said "1 know what t®ee *Geese* an, beds.' it's shocking and sad to learn of the suicide of so many young people, some in their early teens, or younger, also of others into drugs, crime and immoral living. But they are not only young people from deprived families or uncaring parents. There are also those who are clever, apparently normal, well provided for, from good homes with loving and concerned parents. What makes them do such things? Has the kind of society we live in made them confused, mixed up, unable to see a future for themselves? Do they, in the threat of annihilation, try to grab all the experiences of life while they can, or in despair and the fear take their own lives, Having built a new home, one husband had an unusual way to avoid excessive fuel costs. When the furnace company called his office to sav they were sending a serviceman to adjust the furnace controls. the man said he would have to go with him. The caller said there was no need to as their people were capable and would have no trouble. The owner replied. "Your man would go crazy when he tries to adjust the furnace. The thermostat in the hall is a dummy for my wife to fool with, Only I know where the real one is hidden." • • • • • • • e • • • The Seaforth Legion donated $950 at its regular monthly meeting recently to various organizations and pee wee hockey.
