I have just returned fro'r,'n help
ing at •Bruce • County • Museum,
which, as you know, ' is. being set
up .in •'the old school. '• at South-
ampton. Of one thing I'm; , sure,
most of you will have little idea,
,of.the work• involved.. The:,;,coni.
mittee and curator have -scrubbed
and varnished and polished .,win
-lows, cleaned showcases • from
drygoods' stores and „barrooms
and :gr`oery; 'stores, carried` in
load after load of furniture and
impleinents and.; iron. Kettles' and..
churns, ° With the help of , occas-
io:nal cleaning . `,bees' from Wo
men's Institute ''groups.
Personally, T find.it''very
ficult working there ..:, at ,least
such .;prosaic .jobs as. cleailirig
lshowcases: .Thereare , so . very,
m
very. any= in'teresting:v'things all
around.. that it takes a great deal
of ' will-poiwer to stay with the
cleaning equnprnent..
• Just before I came': array I took
. a. quick `look-see' .around , the dif-
ferent rooms. Not only is there
an -amazingly interesting Collet-
:tion::of old things arranged; but
it .,Seemed to me that, the . base-
Ment is full of things to be clean-
".ed . and • brou.ght up'' .before 'the
grand open'ing'.on. : July' lit: And
L, knew' that, , out .'on `• the back
steps;',a great variety of iron pots
and kettles, freshly washed, . and
oiled, was drying 'in:- the sun:'
Among them was --"one of the Most
interesting pieces in -the museum
an ' `pop -ower '•pan-=
a muffioldn paironn, ,you know, andlike'
each little muffin was the shape
of a ,fruit, apples,pears, 'peach'es.
I'11, warrant they turned out some
delicious_p overs ._in' their day:,
How • anyone could bear to part
'With that article, .I ° couldn't ' un-
derstand: '
Also,.;freshly scrubbed; .on the
back walk: was an old bath .tub

as I sit .at my typewriter with

quife –clearly; _ v�liicl `I think
