THIEVES` MARKET - Ernie Rentz, proprietor of Thieves' Market,
relaxes between customers in an old comfortable rocking chair behind
the counter, reading a rare book. This week a customer bought his en-
tire collection of books but many other interesting items remain.

Because the residents of the

Each contributes his share to the

the farm chores are all the

Ten acres of land surroundi

of Crestwood and Crestview,

recognized ,for their homemade

Residents are encouraged to
identify with the community and
participate in community ac-

Industries", further development
of home industries and crafts is in
operation. They have a large
demand for the picnic tables
being built. Plans are also un-

A need - a dream - and finally
reality! This is the story of the
three storey "twin houses"
located on the north side of No. 7.
highway just west of Elginfield,
Early in 1970, Ruth E, Bacon,
social worker at the London
Psychiatric Hospital was faced
with extreme difficulties in
rehabilitating some of the
patients back into the community
through the then existing
resources. It was recognized that
a new program with a fresh
approach was desperately
needed.
After careful study and
planning, "Meadowcrest" came
into being in the spring of 72, A
"family" of twelve persons
ranging in ages from the mid-
twenties to mid-sixties moved
into a large, comfortable farm
home situated on the south side of
the Nairn Gravel Road, just east
of McKichan's corners. The
house is leased, but has been
specially renovated to fit the
needs of the program,
Here at Meadowcrest persons
who have been patients at the
hospital, but who no longer
require the hospital setting, yet
for various reasons are unable to
return home, come together as a
family and live active, produc-
tive lives under the care and
guidance of houseparents,
As a pilot project,
Meadowcrest was continuously
watched. Its success was noted,
and in December 1974 a second
family of fourteen persons moved
into the newly constructed home
known as Crestview, This is the
first of the large "twin houses"
on No. 7 highway just west of
Elginfield. Late in January 1975,
the third family was born at
Crestwood - the second twin home
found beside Crestview. Thus the
three homes complete the Crest
program.
The homes are operated by a
Board of Directors made up of
eight interested citizens, and are

Rock, Country, Easy Listening.
windows above. The sign reads,
"Thieves Market",
"What is it?" everyone
questions. Some wonder if they
even dare enter! And this is just
what proprietor Ernie Rentz
projected when he artfully
renovated the old, historic
building on Main Street in Ailsa
Craig recently.
He prefers to draw his
customers into the establishment
through curiosity rather than by
attracting them through the
conventional means of attracting
them by window displays.
But even as one intrudes into
the dim interior, one would
possibly find, it a bit difficult to
label his wares. Items abound to
delight almost any collector's
heart.
In one corner stands a bucket of
buttons. Beside them sits a box of
quaint old, velour hats. On the
shelves are stretched out
fascinating old printing blocks of
every description while tucked
away in yet another corner are
historic deeds. Glancing upwards
one spies a wooden model which
was somewhat of a mystery.
"Oh," replies Ernie non-
chalantly,"That's a model of an
unfinished building that was used
in a court case".
Throughout one finds several
rare and valuable items.
Included is a set of instruments in
a beautifully lined box. "It's the
equipment for the artificial in-
semination of mares," Ernie
asserts. "And judging from the
box the instruments are in, it
probably dates back as far as the
1860's."
Ernie himself was born in
Manitoba, but left there with his
family at the age of eight, After
several years of travelling about
and working at a wide assort-
ment of jobs, he operated a used
bookstore in Thunder Bay.
London attracted him, and for
three years he continued in the
book market there until moving
to Ailsa Craig recently,
He has skilfully transformed
the old building on the north side
of Main Street which a number of
years ago was occupied by
Meadows Grocery Store. The
shop is open on Saturday and
Sundays only, leaving time
during the week for the owner to
hunt out new and interesting
items to add to others' collec-
tions,
