The Huron County Branch of
the Architectural Conservancy of
Oatarie (A.C.O.) haS given final
approval to a proposal for future
use of the former Huron County.
Jail. That proposal has been
filed with the Town of Goderich.
The A.0 .0 s suggestion calls
for a "multiple use tourist at-,,
tractibn". It noted that the
"very architecture and age of the
i building alone lend t much value
for such a proposal,' as does its
original use, and these combined
with a number of attractions we
propose adding' to the building,
could make. a self sustaining fu-
ture for the historic structure."
yesterday, most Americans
died from sudden, short-term
diseases. Only decades ago there
was no effective drugs for tuber-
culosis or pneumonia. But to-
day - most people die from
diseases that last for years.
American—medicine has 'not
adjusted to the reversal, says
Dr: William H. Glazier at
Yeshiva University in New York.
"The system," he says, "is in a
better position to take care Of
the patient who is so incapacitated
that he has to be in a hospital
bed than the patient who is ill
but more or less able, to go about
his normal business."
Chronically ill patients now
constitute about 85 percent of the
people who, are ill in this country.
But • few medical people are
trained in long-term management
of chronic illness or in home
care.
part- of the problem, says
The A.C.O. briefen goes on
to discuss the propoS 1 in detail
under the topics of "the proposal
itself, the economics, and the
administration of the project."
It suggests that the entrance
corridor, g because of its very
shape, with long unbroken walls,
could serve "ideally as a gallery
in..which could be displayed paint-
ings, newspaper clippings and,
photographs of or about the jail
and its history." 0 '
"Such a display, located in
this way, would serve as an ideal
introduction ,,to what the visitor
was about to see throughout the
remainder of the building," the
proposal said.
Dr. Glazier is the system itself.
The system is passive; it 'does
not go into action until a patient
visits a physician or a, clinic.
By this time, the illneSs--such
as emphysema which takes years
to develop--may be far advanced.
Cures are not possible for most
chronic disease; treatment is
aimed at relieving distressing
symptoms, such--as breathless-
?ess in emphyiema.
Dr. Glazierrecommends var-
ious ways the medical system
can reach out - to people to try
to change their lifestyles and thus
prevent the "man-made" chronic
diseases that are caused by
cigarette smoking, overeating,
overdrinking, lack of exercise,
and environmental pollution of
all kinds.
People themselves can take
the first step by adopting life-
styles that help ward of chronic
diseases.
"One section of the cell
blocks," „the 'proposal suggests,
"might be set aside for the mu-
seum of- penology suggestion
which was brought up when a new
use for the jail was first dis-
cussed some time ago,"
"We understand help is avail-
able for this .project from ,the
Provincial Government in terms
of exhibits, if not in terms of
finances, and such offers should
be followed up with a view to of-
ferihg as much variety in dis-
plays as possible to prospective
visitors," the proposal said.
The former court room on the
third floor would provide ideal
space for an arts and/Or crafts
gallery. in which to display the
work of local and regional ar-
tists, the A.C.O. suggested.
The proposal also suggests
that ,,if financing could be ar-
ranged the 'room would be well-
suited to refurbishing as it was
when court and Huron County
Council 'met there during the
1800's." •
The A.C.O. proposal noted
that the courtyards have already
proven they can be put to useful
service, at least in the case -of
the larger one, where outdoor-
theatre for Goderich had Its debut
and met with considerable suc-
cess.
"Other courtyards," the pro-
posal noted, "might be pressed
into service as outdoor tea gar-
dens, a playground for youngsters
whose parents might be involved,
with other activities in the Struc-'
ture, an outdoor art or 'Similar
display area and so 'on.",
"We should not lose sight of
the fact that the former gover-
nor's mansion, which now houses
the Children's Aid SoCiety, is
part of the jail and with new fa-
cilities for the C.A.S. will be-
come available for new uses as
well," the proposal noted. ,
It then went on to suggest
the most ideal use for the man-
sion would be a refurbishing pro-
ject which would outfit the home
in the period of the early 1900's
when it was in use as originally
intended..
The A.C.O. also suggests in
the propbsal that parts of •the
mansion could be used to house-
the Huron County Archives where
they would be readily available
and "housed in a library which
itself is' of historic importance."
"Portions, of the mansion are
also suitable for us meeting
areas for any group o aniza-
Hon§ in Goderich who find it
difficult at times to loc , e meet-
ing places," the proposal noted.
The A.C.O. said In their brief
that a great deal of ' financing
could be realized, through the
various government grants now
available to individual's, groups,
organizations and municipalities.,
"Staff to man the project
could be hired under Opportuni-
ties for Youth or Local Initiative
Programs," the A.C.O. suggests.
"Similarly staff to undertake the
necessary renovations might be
hired in this way."
"Funds to cover the materials
needed however, and the engi-
neering studies necessary, seem
to be another question," the ACO
admits.
To operate the facility under
such a multi-purpose system the
A.C.O. suggests in their brief
that it be managed as a public
-operation by a nine member
board.
This board, according to the
proposal agreed to by the A.C.O.
last week, would be made up of
two members of Goderich Town
Council, one representative tobe
the reeve or deputy 'reeve, one
member of the Goderich and Area
Planning Board, two 'members of
the Architectural Conservancy,
one member of the Goderich Re-
creation Board, one member of 45.
the Huron County Historical So-
ciety, one • member of Huron
County Council (being the chair-
Man of the • council's.. property,„,
committee) and one architect
who would act in an advisory ca-
pacity and would be appointed by
the Historical Jail Board. • -
The Warden of the County and
the Mayor, of the Municipality
would be •exofficio members of
the board.
All members of the board,
under this plan; would have one
vote, with the exception of the ad-
visory architect who would only
act in the capacity of advisor
where matters involved the
structure itself.
Appointments to the board
would be reviewed every two
years so that the selection of
representatives would coincide
with civic elections.
The board should be autono-
mous in its decision, the A.C.O.
proposal' says, but would report
regularly, through, its appointed
members, to the various groups
and elected bodies who hold an
interest in the jail and its opera-
tion.

A MAN FOR OUR TIMES -
(By: Julia Eckert MacLean)
(A Seaforth native Mrs. Mac-
Lean pow is a teacher and
free lance writer living in
Sudbury).
On Sunday, September 23rd,
at Toronto St. Michaels Cathe-
dral, I saw a Man of God ..
I touched a living Saint!
Cardinal Mindszenty
Primate of Hungary - Martyr
for the 'Faith - Blessed of the
people - celebrated Mass and
received the resounding'welcome
of thousands' of his friends of
every nationality.
As wave upon wave of
applause rose and swelled to a
roar we bowed down to receive
the blessing of this great man
and my mind went back in time
to the year 1948. I am again a
schodT child of twelve and the
papers are full of the trial of
Cardinal Mindsienty of Hungary!
Torture- - brainwashing -
martyr - suffering . . . all are
familiar words used to describe
the agony of this hero of Hungary
who suffers 'under atheistic Com-
munism.
' The prayers of my classmates
and myself rise to heaven from
the school chapel and we pray for
his release. My understanding of
the situation is limited. ',realize
only, that a man is being perse-
cuted for his faith and suddenly
all the petty, juvenile complaints
I ever expressed against the
rules 'and regulations of boarding
school seem trivial in the face of
Jilts great man's suffering...and
for the first time thiS selfish,
egotistical, s elfc entred youngs-
ter looks outside of herself and
feels compassion for another.
Her mind fantasizes and she plots
a way to free Cardinal Mindsz-
enty. She will find a way to
help him and find him . .release
hire. . .relieve him of his suffer-
ing. No obstacle Will be too
big. . . .anything is possible ..
for having never known adver-
sity in her short life, she cannot
clmprehend failure.
She daydreams of a day to
come when she will be able to
"Do Something" . . . . to help
this martyr- . . . this Man of
God.
Months pass by. Cardinal
Mindszenty is condemned to life
imprisonment. Front page pic-
tures burn their way into the
child's mind. "0 God! That
they should be so cruel" "surely
God will damn them". "That
they should treat one of "our"
people in such a way". (I am
very Roman Catholic and fail
to see that, in his suffering,
Cardinal Mindszenty belongs to
all the people.)
Months turn into years. Card-
inal Minds zenty is no longer front
page news, but he comes often
to the mind of the child who is
growing and learning. "Where
is he now?" she wonders. "What
is he\ doing? Are his jailors at
all kind? Does he sit alone in
some small damp cell?" . . . and
her heart 'cries out "Help him 0
God. Help him." Now when
things don't -go her way she offers
it up - - - for him who gave up
so much... and Cardinal Minds-
zenty becomes her hero!
Then• comes 1956. The child
is now a woman and Hungary is
again front page news' for her
_people have risen up against their
oppressors and have made a bid
for feedom. In the heat of the
fighting brave young Hungarians
break into the building that holds
their Prirnate`prisoner and rush
him to the safety of the American
Embassy in Badapest. But we
in the free world, forgetting that
"we are our Brothers' keeper"
let Hungary fight her own fight
and the revolution is crushed by
Russian forces.
And yet my heart exults - -
"He's free 1 Cardinal ,Minds-
zenty 'is free?" And that child
of long ago seems to stand out-
side myself and is happy with
me. "Now he will come" I tell
myself. "This Man of God!
This Saint of our times! This
Martyr for the faith' Now he
will come".
But no. He refused to leave
his -native Hungary, knowing pre-
sence there gives to his people
the strength they need to endure
their own oppression.
And so the years go oh and
Cardinal Mindizenty becomes a•
source of hope and faith to all the
world - - -and to that child of
long ago he becomes, more than
ever, her special hero.
And now it 1.0973 and Car-
dinal Mindszenty is to come to
Toronto, for .through the inter-
cession of the Pope arrangement -
have been made for his safe pas-
sage out of Hungary and he is to
come to the North American con-
tinent to help his people celebrate
-one thousand' years of Christia-
nity.
The child who has become a
woman too must go to Toronto for
she has an appointment with a
Specialist at a 414edical Clinic
there. "She will go one day
early" she tells herself, "and
attend Sunday Mass at St.
Michael's". "Perhaps she will
get a chance to see her hero."
Thus it is that I kneel in 'the
old Cathedral, waiting for Car-
dinal Mindszenty to enter and
say the 12.10 Mass. The church
is crowded. People line the aisles
and crowd both sides of the altar.
The choir loft le 'filled ancrpeblire
overflow the Cathedral out onto
the lawns and sidewalks.
I wait in expectation, and that
child of twenty-five years ago
kneels beside me in anticipation.
Suddenly he is there . . .
dressed in gleaming white vest-
ments over a green surplis., On
his head he wears 'his Bishops
hat and in his hand he holds the
Shepherd's Staff. He is Messing
the people and as he passes up
the aisle their hands reach out
to him and tears stream down
their faces.
My heart thumps against my
chest and pulses against my
throat. He is 'coming closer. I
go down on my knees as, he
raises his hand in blessing. 'He
is so close and his eyes are dark
and piercing. He looks directly
at me . my liand goes out to
touch his sleeve and his fingers
brush my cheek . . . "0 God,
. . . I am not worthy". . .. and
bowing down I start to cry. All
around I hear the sobs of
others visibly moved and the
Cathedral is charged with a
magnetic quality impossible to
identify.
I look up. Cardinal Mends
zenty is approaching the Altar.
The people stand and their voices
rise in one tremendous roar of
welcome. , Tears run down their
faces and hands clap against each
other in a never ending crescendo
of welcome. Beside me an. old
Hungarian woman sobs aloud.
A young girl in front of me,
obViously second generation,
weeps into her hands. Grown men
cry like children and with no
shame or embarrassment wipe
at their eyes with big white
handkerchiefs; . . and over and
over and over again that roar ..,
of thousands of welcoming voices!
,The Cardinal raises his hand
again in blessing and his arms
reach out with love and affection
toward the people. Then he
turns and kneeling at the foot of
the altar, he intones in Latin
the prayers for the beginning of
the Mass, "I will go unto the
altar of God, to God who giveth
joy to my youth," - - - and
bowing down, my heart cries out,
"Welcome Cardinal Mindszenty)
