The spirit of those two well known lines of poetry is lost if one takes time to examine the structure of the 135 year old Huron Historic Jail. The sturdy walls themselves are a tribute to the craftsmen who erected them in the mid-1800's. Using stone from the Maitland River Quarry, near Goderich, the builder, William Day, erected the two foot-thick walls on a footing located eight feet below the surface of the ground. As well as making escape by tunnelling a virtual impossibility, the design has assured the stability of the structure for many generations to come. Although there has been some cracking, and some mortar decay, a recent examination by Federal Government officials re-assured the Huron Historic Jail Board that the walls have reached a state of "equalibrium" and little further deterioration is expected. - That does-n't eliminate • current problems, however. The jail walls need three remedial measures. The necessary work is for the most part, labour-intensive according to Jail Board officials, and,•costs are thereby quite high. The most important task is to "monitor" the walls for further movement or shift. This 'will be accomplished by inserting a number of glass rods through the two.foot thickness adjacent to existing cracks. As long as the glass remains intact, the walls are proven 'to be stable and no further remedial work is required. Secondly, the wall caps need coating with a synthetic material to prevent water seepage. Many years ago, they were covered by a three-foot stone thatch which caused water to run off. However, that thatch was removed from most of the walls. Finally, much of the mortar needs re-pointing. The Huron JailBoard is raising funds to do these repairs. Donations can be sent to the Board c/o Ed. Oddleifson, Bayfield. CASPER®THE FRIENDLY GHOST '44‘ Unicef Canada CHILDREN'S FUND UNITED NATIONS ( ALL MY FRIENDS WANT TO HELP!

This is where the Expositor readers come in. Mr. Newlands wonders if any readers recognize any 'of the designs that were found. He says opinions on their use range from making decorations for the sides of earthenware pots, to decorative tiles for around fireplaces etc., to making plaster decorations on walls and ceilings. According to a plasterer in Toronto' whose firm has been active since about 1885, the molds SAMUEL MACLEAN The death occured on October 2, at Seaforth Manor of Samuel MacLean, 82.

MIDDLETON Robert H. Middleton passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital in London on Tuesday September 30, 1975 in his seventy-third year. Mr. Middleton was a pharma- cist and operated drug stores in Hensall and Exeter• for several years. On several occasions since his retirement he had relieved at Keating Pharmacy, Seaforth. Surviving are his wife the former Gertrude Robertson- Currie, a son Robert of Wingham, a brother George of Birmingham,. This week archeologist David Newlands of the Royal Ontario Museum, who for the past two 'summers led a dig at the Huron Pottery site in Egmondville, asked the Expositor to ask our readers to help the museum. On their dig into what once was the basement this summer, the crew from the ROM found a number of interestingly shaped clay molds. Because there is so little Walls of jail need help were not used for interior plaster Mr. Newlands asks that local work but for exterior decoration people keep their eyes open and on buildings, let/gim know if they have seen The man said the molds were decorations that might have been used to create decorations that made in the molds, either inside were called bank art, ornate bits or outside any buildings in the and pieces on the outside of brick area.

Mr. in the great fire of September Newlands sayS to keep in mind 1876. that the molds, are the "negatives" and the designs would appear as "positive" raised decorations. Mr. newlands thinks that some of the products that were made in the molds at the Huron Pottery (one of the molds they found is signed by J.B.Weber and dated 1877) must still be around the area, on pottery or on the walls of old houses in the neighbourhood. In the interests ,of increasing our knowledge of early Canadian industries and local history Mr. Newlands is hoping that someone can help solve the mystery . If anyone has seen any of the designs in the photographs in the area or knows or can guess where they might have been used, they can write to David Newlands at the Royal Ontario Museum, Canadiana Building, 14 Queen's Park Crescent West, Toronto 5, Ontario Michigan and two grandchildren. Mr. Middleton was predeceased by his first wife the former Jean NJ. Woods. After resting at the, Bonthron Funeral Home in Hensall, funeral service was held Thursday, October 2, from St. Paul's Anglican Church with Rev. George A. Anderson officiating. Interment was in Bayfield Ceme- tery. WILFRED HOEGY Word has been received of the death of Wilferd Hoegy who died on October 2nd in South Bend, Indiana.
