ExPenditure The total expenditures for this Health Unit amounted ta $113,102 which was $9,514 less than revenue. Two grants- one from the Provincial Depart- ment of Health of $48,700 and another- a National Health grant of $13,214 plus $6.371 de- rived from plumbing inspection fees, leave the United Counties to pay $48,700 »for its health service. Some of the difficulties which this Health Unit has to face is shown by the work in supervis- ing children's homes. One no- table example of this is the home aperated by Mr. and Mrs. R. Whyte of Bowmanville. In January, 1955, some 30 chiid- ren were ini the home, but at the end of the year this nurn- ber had grown to 75. The Health Unit flot only had to supervise the home from a health point of xiew but it appointed its legal counsel, H. R. S. Ryan, Q.C. to make a vis',t there and ta advise the Medical Officer of Health on the legal aspects involved. i SHELL FURNACE OII USERS GETSONITOR PROTECTION WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE..

Crlticism of Schools Some criticismn was mete out to some of the new school particularly in regard to ligh! ing which proved to be inadc quate. ln other cases water sur plies proved ta be incorrectl installed.

Our success bas stimulated a new interest on the part of the gen- e- eral public in the Arts," said is Peter Bennett, the Festival's ;h Managing Director. .d Mr. Bennett was guest speak- e- er at the Women's Canadian th Club on April 15 at their final [s meeting for this season. Prior e ta taking the position at Strat- ýh ford, Mr. Bennett, who was i. born in London, England and -is a graduate of Oxford Univer- sity, served in the United King- dom Foreign Service for 12 years, travelling widely in Eu- rope and the Middle East. He spent four years in Ottawa as Secretary in the United King- dom High Commissioner's Of- fice and the U.K. Information Office. At the end of that time, in 1950, he remained in Can- ada, taking a position with tbe Robert Simpson Company. Building Unique The new theatre building at Stratford which will be ready for this season which begins July 1 and runs for ten weeks to Sept. 7 this year, is unique in architecture. It has causeal excitement among architects in the United States as well as Canada, particularly for its fluted copper roof which in style somewhat resembles the tent which it is replacing. The building is on the tent site, using the concrete work which was there, -but more aisies have been put in, and ta bring up the seating capacity, a balcony bas been added which seats 858. The total number of seats is naw 2186. No seat is farther than 70 feet from the stage, and there are no pillars to obstruct the view. No More Whlstles The building will be sound- proof, thus eliminating the train whistles which caused r5om'i weird punctuation in Shakes- peare-"we now have Mr. Don- aid Gardon on the Board of Gavernors,"1 Mr. Bennett said in a humorous aside. A further comfort will he the complete air conditioning which the building will ulti.- mately have. For this season there will only be a circula- tory system, owing ta the com- plicated duct work which bas ta be completed. The Promenade inside and outside will allow people ta circulate mucb mare easily dur- ing intermissions, and hr will also be a refreshment cen- tre. "It is a building wbich al Canadians cao be praud of," Mr. Bennett said. "Words can- not adequately describe it. Came and see for yourselves." To Extend Use It is the plan of the Festival management ta make use of the -building for a longer season, OBITUARY JOHN BROWN tbough it will not be feasible ta extend the festival into the winter -because of Stratford's location in a snow beit. In the splendid workrooms, it is plan- ned ta carry on a costume bus- iness other than for the Fest- val's own use, possibly supply- ing the National Ballet and others. Another hoped for develop- ment will be a permanent drama school now that quar- ters will be available. A sum- mer school bas been held up ta now. "We feel a permanent school would be another con- tribution we could make ta the cultural growth of Canada," Mr. Bennett said. Prestige For Canada The Festival bas put Strat- fard on the map and braught tremendous prestige ta Canada. By carryieg the Canadian re- putation road thraugh travel- ling campanies dcveloped through Stratford, It is hoped this will be further enbanced. The reception of the Festival campany at Edinburgh lest year was most gratifying, Mr. Bennett stated. "We must enlarge our hori- zons, however, poat being con- tent ta rest on aur laurels. We want ta maintaîn and increase the high standard we have set." Samething big may grow out af this Festival, he went on. Canada is in a unique position ta try and bring the United Kingdom, the U.S. and Canada, including French Canada, ta- gether in the theatre, drawing the best from each and weld- ing them together, so that we will have something second ta none in the worid. The intro- duction of French Canadian ac- tors in Henry V, and the Mol- jere plays last year, were a step in this direction which proved most successful. It is also hoped ta film more of the plays. Oedipus Rex bas already been done. Fund Response Mr. Bennett spoke of the Ira- pack of the Festival on Strat- ford itself, one not insignifi- canit resuit being the employ- ment of 175 ta 200 people dur- ing the season: increased trade and new industries. He also spoke briefly of the campaign for funds to which, industry, banks and other establishments in Canada have contributed generously. This attitude, he feels, is a direct resuit of the success of the Festival at home and abroad. "We naw bave al- niost $1,250,000 out of the $1,- 500,000 needed for the building. The Federal and provincial governments have been very generous, contributing $250,000 each. But we welcome all gifts, large or smaîl." This Year-- The plays this year are Ham- let directed by Michael Lang- hamn with Christopher Plum- mer in the leading role, and Twelfth Nîght directed by Ty- rone Guthrie in which the ex- citing Irish actress Siobban Mc- Kenna appears as Viola. Out- standing artists will be heard in the music portion from July 31 ta Sept. 6, in both classical and jazz realms. There is as well a film festival, an exciting art exhibit, history of the thea- tre and book exhibition. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. M. Roenigk and thank- ed by Miss Mary Jewell, IThree Couii To Annex 1 Three notices of intent to annex were brought to theet tention of the United Counties council during a meeting at the new Northumberland - Durham Counties building, recently. According to information provided Port Hope has asked annexation of parts of Hope and Hamilton Township; the towvn of Loganville will annex a part of Darwin Township and Trenton plans annexation of a part of Murray Township. Larger Grant During the same meeting the County of Wentworth asked support on a resolution to peti- tion the Provincial Government to contribute 75 percent on con- struction and maintenance costs for county roads. Purpose of the resolution was to relieve high taxation on real property within the various counties. A letter accompanying the resolution copy points out the Government agreed to subsi- dize 50 percent of the cost of County road work in 1926. The subsidy bas not been raised since that time. Wentworth County officials are taking the view that county roads are now carrying a high percentage of non-local traffic and the in- creasing costs of catering ta i Bowmanvllle dies Towns Prop erty such increasel traffic requires further Government support. This resolution was handed over to the Roads and Bridge Committee for consideration and possible action. Seck Better Roads A number of letters were read fro'm municipalities and organizations within the Cour- ties calling for improved local road conditions. Several refer- ences were aimed at the road leading in and out of Wark- worth. Payment on a $40,000 build- ing grant to the town of Co- bourg, originally scheduled to be payed ini three annual instal- ments starting in 1956 and end- ing in 1958, is in order for this year, Counties clerk, Ken Sy- mon, told Council. Requests for 1957 grants front the Northumberland 'Music, As- sociation and the Junior Police Games Committee are undr consideration. Air.
