Only at the Stratford Festi- val would such undertakings as changing scenery every evening and also within minutes between scenes, be attempted or succe ss- fully acooemplished. The appar- ent enthusiasm aild dedîcation of everyone connected with the plays makes this possible. As entertainment the three plays are a delight and warraht attendance. The young artists are well schooled in their parts and have 'in most cases an insight la their role. This, along.with the techniques in staging, lighting and sound effects and the fact that manry of, the players are from the local area makes the productions a .must on anyone's list, Crities of the daiiy press have giv en the festival good to excel- lent ratings and found littlc to fault with the presentations. For an evening'ýs entertainment the Festival is providing for the rest of titis mntli this high cal- ibre of theatre as they. present "Billy Bud", "The Admirable Crchton" and "A Man for Al Seasons". We can, without res- ervations, recommend any of these plays. No Paper JAug.,22 Due to holidays there will be no paper published next week,, Thursday, August 22.

Work At Orono School Mr. Douglas Moffat, principal euf the Orono Public Sehool, re- ~quested of the Clarke Public Sch'ool Board, the reasonsfor the delay in the construction of' the General Purpose rooin at the Ci- ono Sehool and also wbat consid- eration had been given to other requested improvements made by hlm for the Orono School. 1He al. so wanted to know what arrange- ments had been made for the holding of physical education for the Orono students this year. Mr. Moffat pointed out that in March-of 1966 hie had requestcd that the 'Board consider the bpilding of a General Purpose room in Orono and that the rest of the school be brought up to a good standard with interior painting, fixing of hanging plast- er and other minor repairs, along with better playground facilities. lHe said this request was againi repeated in 1967. Mr. Moffat was supported by a delegation of fifteen from the Village of Orono. According ta the minutes, and Mr. Moffat, the Board bad decid- ed in 'November of 1967 to build a General Purpose room i ý9rono. A second phase of the plan was teo bui1ld an addition -,either at Newfonville or Lock- harts while the third woulc-' be an addition at one or other of the above, The fourth_ phase of the plan was for the coinplete're- construction of a new school at the Orono site. Mr. Moffat asked. what had been the holdup, la the General Purpose room and pointed out that the Armouries would not, this year, be available for use by the school. What facilities had the Board arranged for this, he asked. Mrs. Barlow, chairman of the Board, stated that it was impos- sible to say wben the Geieral Purpose room woulçl be complet- ed but did outline what bad been accomplished to date. Nothing had beeh done in the matter of providing other facilities for phy- sical education nor had anything been done to improve the play- ground area. Mr. Best did state that con- tact had been made for the in- teirpainting and plastering but that nothbg had been com- pleted in this wark or even start- ed.
