consisted of the Little Theatre's

“Tilfle Theatre Plays Enjoyed

A weekend evening program
anducted by the Kinnaird Little
‘Theatre recchtly, was well re-
ceived by a huge and enthuslas-
tie district audience,

The singing of “O' Canada",
accompanied by Mrs, J. E, Wal-
lace, got the show on its way.

Mrs, Pat Dougan introduced
‘thie plays and expressed her de-
light at being able to announce
a somewhat novel addition to
the usual Little Theatre showing.
This was, of course, the presenta-
tion by the grade 4 children from
‘Kinnaird Elementary School.

The program rolled on to

the first play, entitled “Before
the Flood.” This proved to be
quite humorous at several points
but at other times, sections were
partially Jost to the audience,
The setting was adequate and
simply done, which was as it
should be, Special comment
should be given to the “dutch-
door” arrangement, which was
situated centre back on the stage.
This was quite effective.
Propertles, such as food and
drink were noticeable. and added
to the d

picture. Costuming for. the men
was good, but perhaps a little

Should feel proud of their ach-

festival-entry for the West Koot-
enay Drama Festival, entitled
“No Wecds for the Widow.” This
play proved to be quite comfcal
and at the same time, quite dra-
matical,

too colorful on the women.

Make-up on the entire ‘cast
and here again, especially on the
men, was extremely well done,
even down to the skin coloring
on the legs and arms. A bouquet

formances. Though action was
sometimes slow, the actors did
wonderfully well in portraying
most exacting charcters, Joan
Johnson, as the maid was most
convincing and enjoyable, Virgin-
ia Wa)lper, as always, was at her
very .best and proved most ver-
satile. Her husband, portrayed by
George Jackson, was equally as
good, though sometimes caught
with the wrong emphasis in
lines, Gwen Sommertleld as Mrs.
Preston and Margaret Whitelock

should have their arms wide
open, Ella Walker, portraying
Noah's wife, Hannah, was very
good and she looked quite auth-
entic in her costume. She made
good use of her “punch” lines,
Noah, played by Wally Walper,
was quite convincing and lived
up to what this district has
grown to expect of him.

The family, consisting of the
three sons and their wives, cer-
tainly upheld Kinnaird Little
Theatre tradition of fine perfor-
mances. The most notable of
these six, perhaps, being Ham,
played by Jack Bainbridge and
Meribal, played by Delores De
Rosa. They both seemed to fit
right into character and display-
ed genuine interest in their parts,
Nathaneel, played by Henry
Hyson, was as he should be, an
old man, and from all appear-
ances seemed quite so, A’ bit
over-played though. Tirzah, por-
trayed by Dorothy McKenzie,
gave a lively and spirited per-
formance and-was very much en-
joyed.

The directors of this play,
Efleen Hughes and: Dorothy Mc
Kenzie, deserve a great deal of
commendation for the work they
did with this large cast, and they

snKinnaird Forum Set
ey For Tues. On Water

COUNGIL NOT HAPPY WITH MUNICIPAL GRANT

_A public forum meeting will be held in Kin-
naird next Tuesday, May 5, to discuss‘the pro-
posed new water works bylaw.

The bylaw has been designed to cover ex-
tension of the present system and some por-
tions in need of renewal. The cost is expected to
be. $185,000. .-

Approval of the bylaw has. been’ obtained
fromthe Inspector of Municipalities and from
the Provincial Health Office. .

Village Chairman, Carl Loeblich says “there
is ‘definitely cause for concern.on the present
system. as it now stands. ‘This is. substantiated
by the great number’ of leaks in the system
which have: appeared i in the past month. The
condition of ‘the pipe on the highway and on
the upper bench is deplorable.

'“If the bylaw doesn't pass” Mr. Loeblich
said, “he doesn’t'know how the present systern
will get through the summer, let alone next
winter.”

: When asked ata the increase in water rates
would be, he said, ‘‘in the neighbourhood of
$40 per year for each property owner,’ * and he
‘if the bylaw did not pass there

would be no alternative but to increase the
rates about that amount or possibly more to
maintain the old broken down mains.”

“=F aly details on the facts OF the? dade. wilt be
brought out at the forum meeting next Tues-
day. *

Voting will take ‘plats on Thursday, May 7
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. §

Village clerk ‘P. A. Smibert has been ap-
pointed returning officer'for.the ballot.

Mr. Loeblich was asked what he thought of
the Provincial Governments decision to pay the
Municipal Grants in 9 installments (this year
the Village of Kinnaird gets $20,880) and he
gaid “it has embarrassed the Village of Kin-
naird: financially.””. “We had planned on ‘¥e-
ceiving one third of this money almost immed-
‘liately, and now we ‘will have to make arrange-
