‘‘Too much rain?” Hank asked.
“Well in a way,’’Tim said. “I
was afraid if they saw me building a

animals lining up two-by-two.”
FRIDAY: Ward Black was talking
his usual true blue Conservative
politics this morning when Billie
Bean cut him off. “You’re so
politically biased I’ll bet there isn’t
anybody outside your own party
you like.”
Ward said that wasn’t true. In
factthere was a Liberal he liked
very much these days. When
pressed by Billie he admitted the
Liberal’s name was Keith Davey.

The archival collection of the

will move into the new Huron

controversy within the Society for
months over the possible move but

Sun to be in eclipse Friday,
if anybody can see it
If the skies clear up Friday
afternoon;Canadians will be in the
position to observe a rare cosmic
alignment which will result in a
partialeclipseofthe sun, easily
visible throughout most of North
America.
The event will begin at 1:50
p.m., when the moon will take a
slight notch out of the right side of
the sun, and will continue until
about 67 per cent of the solar disc is
hidden at 3:05. Then the moon
begins to retreat, leaving the sun
clear again at 4:16 p.m. At its
maximum, the sun will appear as a
dramatic crescent, and the reduc
ed sunlight will lower the tempera
ture by about five degrees,
--nie change in light is very
subtle, however, and may only be
noticed if the sky is clear.
The eclipse may be observed
safely with a pinhole projection box
and a mirror, a method with which
every teacher is familiar^ Serious
eye damage can resultfrom any
direct glance at the sun, and at
an overwhelming 27-1 vote in
favour of the move.
The museum had offered to
house the society’s collection in an
area of the museum which will
provide a 220-square foot reading
room, a 700-square foot stacks area
and a workshop for preparation
and preservation of new work to be
included in the collection.

The action and entertainment
marks the official kick-off for the
Clinton Public Hospital fund rais
ing drive. The effort is aimed to
help raise funds to build the new
obstetrical wing and renovate the
chronic care area of the hospital.
Tickets for both the car draw and
general admission to Casino Night

quantities.

victims are well aware of the
danger of looking directly at the
sun, but look anyway.

The collection is currently hous-
edinthebasementof the Huron
County Library headquarters in
Goderich. There are space limita
tions, however, and Marjorie
Emmerson of the Society’s archiv
es committee pointed out that
because the library building is
closed after five and on weekends,
many people wanting to do re
search in the archives are unable to
do so.
There had been some hesitation
on the part of some Society
members because of the fact that
once the collection goes into the
museum it will no longer be the
property of the Society. In addi
tion, Claus Breed, museum project
director, had said that for security
reasons, no one but trained
personnel would be allowed in the
stacks area, although he explained
“trained personnel’’ would in
clude regular volunteers with the
museum.
Mrs. Emmerson, in supporting
the move, pointed out not only the
greater access to the collection
under the museum’s extended
hours (particularly on weekends),
but also the greater care the
documents would have because of
trained staff to preserve them, the
greater security in the museum
and the proper climate-controlled
conditions.
The vote was taken at the fall
general meeting of the Society held
in the St. Helens Community Hall.
At the meeting a history of St.
Helenswasalsopresented. The
Society’s fall banquet will be held
Oct. 28 in Brucefield with J. L.
Wooden, author and teacher as
guest speaker.
