COMMENTARY
Perhaps the most telling commentary on this toolish
game came in the editorial pages of thy Globe and Mail
Friday. It said:
"CTV was particularly anxious that its arch-rival, the
Global television network, should not share in the
proceedings. and for a time it seemed quite willing to carry
this vulgar brawl right up to the church steps."
Vulgar indeed, but it's dog cat dog. and as it picks up
speed it Iasi doesn t seem to matter whose fire hydrant

In light of the proposed new routes near us for Hydro's
new transmission from Bruce. and in case you may have
missed it. a highly placed official for the utility recently
made a visit to Florida for a rather interesting purpose
HOW TO DEAL

Why is it so critical that opposition be so effectively
dismaetledI What is wrong with the kacts f they eat 't be
relied upon to disarm the critics? How hopeful is the
farmer. anxious to protect as much of his property as
possible. of conipeting with a graduate of the SW course
(Hydro paid the fee and expenses) giving instruction• on
such "negotiating techniques?"
In the end, Mr. MacCarthy told the Globe. he expects
Hydro will continue to co-operate with tqe opposition. So'
why the program?
It's all just a little bothersome. especially considering
that the report of the course came originally from the
Mother Jones reporter who attended the program under a
false identity. Otherwise. those concerned about the
proposed new routes would know nothing of what they're
up against.
But one really needs to wonder why Hydo went to the
trouble.

Chief of Police
The hot humid summer
weather has finally arrived.
It can be a cause of Jong
sleepless nights for many of
our citizens. It also means a
time. of tired bodies and short
tempers. People have a
tendency to stay up late at
I night and drink a little too
much. We can become an
irritant to our neighbours.
The big cities have many
human relations problems in
the heat of summer; however
I am positive that cooler
heads will prevail in the
Town of Seaforth.
Please be tolerant of that
radio next door or the
neighbour who is on holi-
days. sitting in the back yard
..with--sonic-friends and-the
convirsation is a little loud.
When you are on holidays
please remember your neigh-
bour may. have to work next
day.
Bicycles are still going
missing; parents, please
check your children's bicy-
des and make sure they
'don't have some other per-
son's bike.

force was called upon to

Keep cool for summer
BY SHARON DIETZ
Huron County Council
decided at its June meeting
last Thursday to apply for. a
Wintario grant for-the build",
ing program to replace die
Huron County Pioneer Mu-
seum.
Ray Scotchmer, curator of
the museum, said he would
prefer a cement and steel
structure to replace the pre-
sent building and will be
submitting a sketch with the
Wintario application.
A decision to replace the
present building was made
by the county's property
committee when part of the
roof collapsed at the museum
last winter because of the
heavy snow. ,The problem is
not deterioration,rather poor
deSign.
AppliCations for capital
grants are being received
until September 30, 1981 so
word of acceptance of
Huron's application will
probably not be "received
until 1982.
Scotchmer said the proper-
ty committee considered
several factors in making'
their decision before decid-
ing to replace the present
structure. They considered
that the county already owns
the land where the present
museum is located. The
marine museum has recently
been established in Goderich
and will be operated in
=junction with the Pioneer
Museum. It-would be costly
to move the locomotive in
the museum to another loca-
tion and Scotchmer is not in
favour of establishing a
village type museum because
he feels the area , has several
already.
Scotchmer hopes the
building program can be
phased over several years to
permit the museum to re-
main open to the public
during construction.
He outlined several advan-

exhibit area cannot be heated

Scotchmer observed that
having the museum open
during the winter would be
advantageous for school
children to tour the museum
during the school year.
He also anticipates the
new structure will have dis-,
play rooms and lecture rooms
which the present museum
lacks as well as vault space
for archival materials.

The workshop will empha-
