committee to investigate the feasibility of tenants in the centre It would be prudent said Ald Ross Stephens to build civic centre in line with future growth for Barrie EXCESS SPACE Stephens nexation

centre not City hall Council could be leintl with potential bad will by accepting that motion said Ald Rucmper The city has already started to purchase the property in preparation for the proposal An earlier conceptual study was completed and presented to the Barrie public on the proposal The centre would be located on the site of the present city hall on Collier Street and would include new

The minister of transportation and com munications has promised ro Township coun ll that his ministry will conduct traffic study during the summer of 1980 to determine whether there is need for flyover on Highway at Concession In letter which was read to council Monday James Snow confirmed the study would take place as agrctd during meeting with council Ill tictober and said he would advise the municipality on decision once the study is completed ouncil has been asking for flyover at Con cession ii for almost two years as there are non lltlfll Concessions and 11 distance of about tour miles Residents who live north and south of Highway 11 between these two concessions have complained that they must drive this distance to gain access to the highway in both directions It they use Concessions and the barrier dividing the highway prevents them from crossing and turning and forces them to dirve in one direction only IKII llti The ministry has proposed to take traffic counts where Concession meets the highway on either side of the division but this will not give an accurate count said Oro Reeve Howard Campbell This will only record the cars whose drivers wish to go in the direction forced on them by the division and will not record those who are using roads parallel to the highway to gain ac cess to it by the flyovers at Concessions and 11 he said They will only be getting half the count These parallel roads are the Ridge Road and the 1516 Sideroad which run south and north of the highway respectively and to get accurate traffic counts the ministry will have to monitor the junctions where Concession meets these routes so as to catch those motorists who use them to reach the flyovers at Concessions and 11 Reeve Campbell said Because of the lack of flyovers traffic has in creased along the 1516 Sidcroad and much of the normal traffic along Highway 11 including trucks and service vehicles are using it as an alternative route or service road The township has also asked the ministry to pave an 11mile strip of the sideroad because residents in the area have complained about the amount of dust created by the additional traffic and describe it as health and safety hazard In his letter Snow said he had asked members of his staff to meet with the townships road superintendent to provide him with report on the merits of providing 80 per cent of 5200000 of the funding for the paving Once have had an opportunity to review that report will advise you further on this matter he said in the letter The project if it is to be done would take two years rather than one year he said 80 PETITIONERS Meanwhile group of about 80 area residents have petitioned the minister in sup port of councils request for flyover at Con cession The fourmile distance between Concessions and 11 is severe hardship to residents the petition said anduses up thousands of dollars in gasoline at time when conservation is priority The petition also drew to the ministers at tention residents concerns that the fourmile distance between accesses to the highway could cause delays to ambulances and fire engines which Could result in disaster Save Medicare petition

as prior of the Order of St John presided over the ceremony Ottawa Bureau Photo First fall production Dear Liar acting strong By DAVID AVANAGH rolltop desk simple dignified writing table and hatbox on stand form nearly the entire set for Jerome Kiltys Dear Liar Gryphon Theatres firsteven fall production The desk belongs to George Bernard Shaw the table to the actress Mrs Patrick Campbell and the hatbox contains the witty sarcastic loving fiery sometime sad letters exchanged during their forty year relationship The sim ple set is all Vernon Chapman as Shaw and Irena Mayeska as Mrs Campbell need to give us an inside look at the brilliant playwright and the actress who enchanted him The acting IS strong Chapmans Shaw is at times overbearing and acidtongued at times graceful and loving He cuts Mrs Campbell to the quick and then swears she IS irreSistible He flaunts monstrous ego but is capable of saying his most recent play is horrible When Shaw says All ask is to have my own way in everything Chapmans face has the right combination of petulance selfcongratulation and selfmockery Despite some fumbled lines Chapman brings Shaws intelligence complex ity and humanity alive Irena Mayeskas portrayal of Stella Camp bell is captivating She is not the verbal gym nast that Shaq is but is not mute slug either Maveskas Mrs Campbell loves battles coaxes rejects toys with and pleads for help from Shaw Shes more than match for him In Act she is middleaged actress at her careers height In one look Mayeska manages to give Mrs Campbell the sophistication sparkle depth and youthfulness that have so entranced Shaw As an old woman at fallen on hard times tired but still fighting The play traces the relationship of Shaw and Mrs Campbell from 1899 to Itile The First Act bristles with wit and repartcc and shows us Shaw and Campbell at their most energetic The act ends with the onset of World War Stellas suddcn marriage to another man and Shaws shocked sense of betrayal Act II contains fewer fiery exchanges bet ween the two but is nevertheless more moving Here we see them growing old struggling with illnesses and their complicated attachment Most of the poses and all of the illusions are gone Chapman as both director and actor seems more comfortable with the older Shaw His delivery is smoother than in Act and his range of emotions greater Mayeska continues her fine performance of Stella The final letters and thus the last part of the play reveal touching awareness of something strong and lasting between Shaw and Camp bell but also sense of something unfulfilled something missed In 1939 their cor respondence ends Shaws final letter contains one last tired bit of affectionate sarcasm and the statement that he is givng up producing because he is too old too old too old In some ways Gryphon Theatre has been dar ing in producing Dear Liar The script is strong but puts enormous pressure on only two actors The lines are many and complicated and there is little physical action to help end vey the emotional interplay between the characters Chapman and especially Mayeska prove equal to the challenge The few problems with tithing and muffcd lines will probably iron out as the plays run continues Morever for modern audiences the play is an ocean of words ur era seems suspicious of eloquence and often associates it with being excessive shallow somehow manipulative Perhaps we have all faced too many smooth hardsclls In this play we find eloquence that is playful witty glib at times but which above all is the vehicle for the feelings of two pas sionate people Monday nights audience seemed glad that Gryphon would try such play It will be per formed every night this week through November 10 at the Georgian College Theatre Vernon
