COUNTY TO AID IN COST OF HISTORY A history of Huron County, to be published in booklet form, has been undertaken by Professor James R. Scott, of Seaforth, and will be under­ written by Huron County Council, it was decided last week at the January session of the county council. Appearing before the council, Prof. Scott pointed out that Huron has an important story to be told. A writer and lecturer on creative writing at the University of Western Ontario, he reminded council that Huron was the original county in the Canada Company, Professor Scott said that three histories of Bruce County have already been written, while Huron has not had one. Previously a report of the historic committee was presented to council, recommending that a history of Hur­ on County be commenced, The report estimated that the work would take 5 years to produce, and asked the council to guarantee a sum of $1,000 per year for that period, to cover the cost. The report said that there was also a demand at the Huron County Mu­ seum for a booklet to be sold to visitors. Arrangements have already been made with Professor Scott to undertake this task at an estimated cost of $2,500. It is believed that the cost will be recoverable through sales of the booklet at the Museum, Library Board Wants Bookmobile to Visit E.
