Company plans to stage the Donnelly trilogy, Shakespeare's Hamlet and a local play. vel to be written, but based on interesting local mcidents. The story about the in- tamous Donnellys, due to its length, was written in three parts by the Canadian writer, James Reaney., and has received unanimous praise by the press as well as the public. The work is dealing with the story of the Donnelly family who lived in southern Ontario in the 19th century. The family were Irish immi- grantsinvolved ina feud near Lucan, Ont. They became known as the Black Don- nellys and a legend grew out of their lives and the brutal "murder of James Donnelly, his wife and five children in 1880. The trilogy during the past few months has been staged by the Tarragon Theatre on Bridgman Ave. in Toronto. The first part had the title, "Sticks and Stones', the second "The Saint Nicholas Hotel" and the third "*Hand- cults" which had its premiere performance Saturday. Below are a few short quotations by wellknown Canadian theatre critics fol- lowing the premiere of the second part "The Saint Nicholas Hotel" in Novem- ber, 1974; Urjo Kareda, Toronto Star, "Filled with delights. It is wholly original. There is nothing else quite like it." Herbert Whittaker, Globe and Mail, **Reaney has fallen in love with the notorious family from Lucan.....The actors at the Terragon Theatre have brought a great deal of charm to these unruly lives."

"As far as anyone knows, that dog could have been . rabid," he said. *'Yet I can't seem to get a hold of anyone to do something about it. The dog, as far as I know, could be after some kid -right now." When Mr. Jennings came home from a trip to Toronto this weekend, he found the dead birds scattered all over his "property. Neighbour John Davis said that he helplessly watched a large, black and white dog Sunday afternoon systematically kill the chickens. Mr. Jennings said the birds had been pened up before he left, but that the door to the pen had been torn open by the dog. Two geese, valued at about $12 each, were also killed. But it isn't the 81 cents a pound that he'll loose on the chickens that worries Mr. Jennings. He's tried to call the township's animal con- trol officer, the Health of Animals Department in Bowmanville, and even the police. } The only place he got an "answer was at the Whitby Ontario Provincial Police Detachment and according to Mr. Jennings, the OPP told him there is nothing they can do, and suggested that he not touch the dead birds. With at least four other confirmed cases of rabies on theisland, Mr. Jennings feels no chance should be taken and thinks someone should be out looking for the dog. Mr. Jennings said that although he hasn't complain- ed before about the 'huge packs of dogs" running all over the Island, he plans to start. "As far as I'm concern- wy A $450 cheque was presented to Mrs. ed," he said, 'this is no longer just a local problem, it's happening all over the place. I'm going to try to get something done, if I have to go to Queen's Park todo it." g I'L hab | Madge Lindsay, field co-ordinator for the Ontario Heart Foundation's Durham, Peterborough, Victoria and Muskoka district, by the students of Port Perry High School.
