It was not until the Labour
Day holiday weekend that reg-
istration of visitors at the mus-
eum showed .a substantial in-
crease. The attendance figure
stood at 21.102 as of Monday,
September 11.
A check of the registry book
indicates that people from all
parts of Ontario toured the pion-
eer museum located on North
Street, off the town square. Many
others were registered who had
come from the Maritime and
Prairie provinces, as well as
those who had journeyed from
bordering American states,
Museum Curator James Chis-
holm stated that a two-storey,
142-foot long addition, construc-
ted at the east side of the for-
mer brick school building had
just recently been completed.
The new section will provide
storage and workshop space for
restoring newly acquired antique
pieces before they are put on
