Members of Kitchenerâ€" Waterioo â€" Little Theatre Monday night apâ€" proved a new nameâ€"Tempo Theâ€" atreâ€"and learned of plans to give the theatre a new home. No decision has yet been made (a fiveâ€"year study is now under way) but it is generally felt that most, if not all, the shoreline at the new lakes should be preservâ€" ed for public use. When the Conestogo and Belâ€" wood lakes were created by the old Grand River Conservation Commission. it made sense to lease the shoreline fer cottage lots and get some return for the If and when five new dams are built, they will create five new lakes or reservoirs. And even though the demand might be there, the authority is unlikely to lease all the land at these lakes for cottages. It leases out about 800 cottage lots at both lakes. One of the biggest land owners in the vacation home business is the Grand River Conservation Auâ€" thority. The authority owns ail the land around Belwood Lake, near Fergus, and Conestogo Lake, morth of Elmira. The vacation home business is & big one. And it‘s likely to get bigger as society becomes more affluent and transportation routes to and from resort areas becoame After a number of approaches, the owners finally accepted a conâ€" ditional offer of $92,500. The ofâ€" eess Street quarters, the former Hayes Advertising building at 56 King St. North torme in recent weeks, has viewed a number of buildings in the Twin Cities and finally decidâ€" ed that the one most suitable for the group‘s purpose is the buildâ€" ing directly across from the Prinâ€" tre "has progressed to the point where expansion into a small theâ€" atre of its own is the password to survival." bers who attended the meeting. A brief distributed to the group claimed that the Kâ€"W Little Theaâ€" Colin Gorrie, the group‘s new artistic director, outlined the plans to the more than 30 memâ€" They also learned they had a pr ‘blem: where to get the great deal of money necessary to make these plans come true. The estiâ€" Imated cost of the project is $163,â€" 000. A campaign â€" actually a vaâ€" Fiety of campaigns â€" is in the planaing stage.

Police patâ€" rolled 10,483 miles. Seven persons were injured in 11 accidents in which property damage was estimated at $7,825. Airborne OPP nab speeders Provincial police resorted to aircraft patrol again this week to nab speeders along Highways 7 and 8. Fortyâ€"one charges were laid as a result. But with the population exploâ€" sion, greater affluence and ease of travelling, it no longer makes sense to lease lots to a tiny perâ€" centage of the population while mand from the public at that time. There were fewer people in the area, and owning a cottage was a luxury the average man couldn‘t afford. In answer to the suggestion that the Twin Cities won‘t need an amateur theatre building when Kitchener‘s Civic Centre and Waâ€" terloo‘s Marsland Centre are built, Gorrie pointed out that neiâ€" ther will be able to supply the fullâ€"time home the group needs. The Little Theatre now functions almost every night of the week for eight months of the year, price of $92,500, $40,000 will be needed for renovations to the building. Legal fees, existing liaâ€" bilities, fund raising campaign costs and a contingency fund will boost the total amount needed to $163,000. This leaves the group barely a month to raise, or at least get pledges, for a substantial part of the necessary funds. Part of the fund is to come from the sale of the present quarâ€" ters, which have already gone on the market. Members will be askâ€" ed to make personal pledges and to approach their friends. The major part, however, is expected to come in the form of gifts from individuals and businesses in the Twin Cities. fer has a 60â€"day limit, which exâ€" pires early in September. the purchase a threeâ€"year program is being started this year to resurface and improve the 25 miles of roadway at the two lakes. In addition to the questionâ€" naire, the authority has written to _gll cottagers informing them The questionnaire asks cottagâ€" ers their views on privacy, boatâ€" ers, â€" fluctuating water levels, quality of water in the lake, eroâ€" sion, road maintenance, preferred activities, facilities available, freâ€" quency of visits etc. As part of its overâ€"all study on cottage lots, the authority has sent out a questionnaire to all coltage owners at Belwood and Conestogo Lakes., When the authority was formâ€" ed in 1966 it inherited Conestogo and Belwood lakes with their leased lots from the old conserâ€" vation commission. The authority generally feels that the shoreâ€" lines of the new lakes should be developed into public beaches and recreational areas so that all the public is served. If there are any cottage lots, they will be only a few and will probably be designed in clusters rather than strung out along the shoreline. the rest of the population has to make do with small public The group will incorporate as a nonâ€"profit organization under the name Kitehenerâ€"Waterioo Theatre Company. Gone is the word Little, which has been with the group since it was organized in 1934â€" one of the first such amateur companies in southern Ontario. The name Tempo Theatre was not clear for the group to use in its incorporation, but will be used on the building and all publicity material as well as in the fundâ€" raising campaign, and related facilities, as well as a bar, coffee lounge and green Gorrie, an architect as well as theatre director, working with arâ€" chitects Horton and Ball, has preâ€" pared preliminary plans for conâ€" verting the Hayes buildingâ€"used originally as a garage and more recently as a warehouse â€" as a home for the theatre group.
