4Brussels Post
BRUSSELS.
ONTARIO
$400 is being awarded to the reader of a weekly
newspaper associated as a member of the Canadian
Community Newspaper Association who best
describes in his or her own words just what the
weekly newspaper means, to him or her.
The written expression of frank opinion on
"Our Hometown Paper" should be at least 250
words but not exceed 700.
Objective is to encourage readers of CCNA
Weeklies to think about what their weekly means to
them, their families, their lives and their
communities, and to set these thoughts down in
straightforward language. Polished literary
expression is not sought. The judges will be
interested in simple, clear exposition that indicates
an awareness by the reader of the role of the
weekly in the community.
Entries will first be published in the member
paper.
Judges will not look for excessively high praise
for the local weekly; they will study the judgment
and understan,ding by readers of the function of the
weekly. This could‘come from a weekly of any size,
large or small.
This is a' unique award since it is offered not to
member papers, Ttheir staffs or regular staff
contributors [they are specifically e?wludedJ , but to
the reader of a CCNA weekly who best describes
in his or her own words just what the weekly
newspaper means to him or her.

Huron jail
opens
The Huron Historic Jail at
Goderich will open to the public
for its second season Of tourist
operation on May 17 at 10 a.m.
The 1975 attendance goal is
15,000 visitors.
The highlight of the summer
season is expected to be the July
5 declaration of the site as a
Federal Historic Monument by ,
the Ministry of Indian and
Northern Affairs, when a plaque
and momument will be unveiled
at the site during the official
ceremonies which are now being
planned.
The Huron Historic Jail Board,
which operates the site in
co-operation with the Huron
County Council, is enthused
about the new season,
particularly in view of last year's
financial operations.
1974 Revenues totalled
$7799,52 which includes general
admissions and $1207.60 in
donations.
Expenditures ,totalled
$3127.26, leaving a working
surplus in excess of $4600.
The Board has struck a
balanced budget of approximately
$16,000 for 1975.
Harry Bosnell has been
retained as the Jail Administrator
for the 1975 season. Under his
direction, during April, a number
of changes and improvements
have been made. The Governor's
house has been further restored
with the downstairs area
receiving the attention at this
time. The building is being
furnished under the direction of
Dorothy Wallace, Refurbishing
Committee Chairman, in
consultation with Dorothy Duncan
of the Provincial Ministry of
Culture and Recreation.
The facility will operate with
the assistance of 8 area young
people who have received
approval for an 9FY grant project
called "Rehabilitation 1840". The
project includes exterior
maintenance, preparation of a
research document based on the
available archives of Huron
County and the original records of
he Canada Company Which are
oused in Toronto, and acting as
hosts for the public during the
eason's operation. All activities
will be undertaken in costumes to
e-create the lifestyle of the
1840's, the time of the original
onstruction.
It is hoped that the summer
eason will present a schedule of
pecial events at the jail site.A
umber of theatre presentations
are under discussion. A group of
Huron County artisans will
exhibit their arts during the
ummer in the main courtyard.
s an added attraction, the site
ill be a stopping point for a
outhvvestern OntarioAntique car
ally. A summer schedule will be
ublished as soon as all dates are
nalized.
