The battle for downtown Stratford continues
While the world knows Stratford as a
theatre, visitors to our city know Stratford is
a community. People live here, working and
playing, not separated from the pleasures
and concerns of the world amend them.
kesiden s are concerned that Stratford
remain a place of human scale. of architect-
atal quality and adequate park space, a city
for tlseir own enjoyment and to he shared.
Viisit&!& to Stratford might take for
granted that the late Victorian and early 201h
century architecture. w obvious to Oe
visitor as an attractions of being there. holds
a special place in the hearts of local
residents. but they'd be only partly right.
no preservation and enhancement of the
city's core has not been easily accomplished,
indeed it has been achieved only after
numernus battles with de, elopment inter%
ests, some won. some lost. Three bahks in
the past year have redesigned one of our
train downtown t•Ftersetctit Y's. ret Tering it
indistinguishable from a Mississauga mail.
In the early 0's it was a small group of,
citizens who headed off the council of the
time when the intent was to trade off our
unique city hall for a high-rise hotel in the
market square.
In 1915 a slightly larger group organized
themselves as Heritage Stratford and inter-
verted in front of tate Ontario Slur ccipak
Board (at great personal asst) to prevent the
derrolitirsrn of the Gordon Block. That smail
gra:ap was right, and the entire community is
richer for having taken their advice. (lace
again a few citizens are painting out the
obvious, the folly of tearing dorm one of
Ontario Street's oldest buildings (especially
at the height of the tourist season).

Late spring and early summer are times of
the year associated with increased human
contact with wild aninnaN. This includes
spee.ies,which, as many of your readers will
kr o . carry rabies. In Huron County the
rnajor carriers of rabies are fox and skunk,
They may easily transmit this disease to
rattle, horses, dogs and cats.
A major warning of rabies in an animal
will be unusual behavior. For a wild animal,
this means that it may lose its wildness and
be easy to catch or to play with. A tame, or
domestic animal, might become Wild and
aggressive. •
While there is no dramatic increase in
rabies in this area, many people have caught
wild animals, particularly young foxes. Some
of these have later tinned out to be rabid and
have placed people at great risk of getting'
rabies. I would caution farmers 'to tie very

PEI TION
The above petition with more than 1,5W
signatures was first offered to ••Stratford's
city council on June Ill. In an unpredented
move council refused to grant a hearing to
the presentors in a 5 to 5 vote, denying them
s right they had thought guaranteed by law.
This action by council has precipitated a
local storm of controversy including letters
and editorials condemning council's actions,
supporting, the group of concerned citizens.
or birth.
The opposition to the hasty demolitions has
been spearheaded by the Life Arts Found-
ation (L.A.F.), a group whose aim is to
provide Stratford with a 'theatre, concert,
and recital hail for the use of roml
perfortt7ing artists and thus audiences.
While the group recognizes that the building
mould be perfectly adaptable to its purpose
(4€3 by IW by 20 ft" high onobst-tutted space
in a structurally sound building). L.A.F.
believes 'the decision for use of the
publicly -owned building should reflect the
steeds and views of the entire community.
OVER i'lEi IMOPMENT
Although a preliminary study done by the
developer indicates a market exists for the
We and scale of development proposed (a
mix of parking, com1,r"ercial and residential,
it,dud'ing luxury condominiums). we doubt
that it's a strong one. There are plenty
examples of overdevelopment in Stratford,
and no shortage of retail or residential
space. While sorne may, fee& the city's
lackitrg in luxury accommodation, the spend-
ing power of the community`s being eroded
on other fronts. and many of us are
concerned about having to spread our ret&il
and rent dollars to make good questionable
investnients.
"Counctls, planning boards or planning
sub -committees are normally made to feel

How raid you celebrate Citnada Day?
BY JM BEER
On July 1, Canada celebrated its 113tif_
birthday. in Ottawa, the day was eompfe•
rnented- by speeches, fireworks and a
special color guard that marched in front of
tete parliament buildings. Other cities and
towns celebrated with fairs and day long
activities dedicated to community involve-
ment. in Seaforth, there was nothing.
In view of what little recognition was
given to Canada bay in the area, this week
the Expositor Asks, "what did you do to
celebrate Canada's birthday and do you
feel more could have been done in the
comtnun ty?"
"I was busy that day," said Noll
Beuerman of R.R. 4, Walton, who aslaed
when it was.
Although he said he had done nothing to
celebrate, Mr. heuerman said he felt a day
to celebrate was important. I
