The Huron Historic Gaol will soon be opening its doors to visitors for the sixth season on April 7 and is to offer a new method in self- guided touring. as well 'as three new features. The new method consists of a very concise tour brochure that directs the visitor's eye to hand printed; easy to read signs that are posted at all points of in- terest. The use of the signs allows the story of the gaol to be told in more detail. This eliminates the necessi- ty of trying to read a long story while coping with cell doors and circular stairways. It also gives each indiiddual the privilege ' of spending as much time as he wished in any area of special interest to him. The infor- mation contained in the new tour brochure, signs, and booklet is based on the result of extensive research and documentation done by students under various government grants. Assistance has also been received from many members of the community and the Signal-Star. ' All of this has been in process for the last three years and it has taken many hours of rewriting and editing by historian and chairman of the board, Mrs. Citizens' committee wins in first round Studies show that the crop yield could drop 50 percent. Durand says that his group did extensive research into air pollution. After the group ,was formed the provincial government appointed the royal com- mission to look into the matter. "We believe the commission was appointed because of our noise," Durand says. Durand cites a 1973 example of damage from air P-04tion. He .say,s„ there was an excellent crop of beans, coming that year, when a southwest breeze- went over the county for three days. This breeze brought a steady amount of pollution from the Detroit- Windsor-Toledo area-. Yields that year were cut in half. Durand says that he is also concerned about the social effects of industry in the area. "I've travelled all over the world and I think we're living in a Garden of Eden here," he says. He says that industry will spoil the rural character of our excellent small towns, Durand points out that only two and, a half, percent of land in Ontario is valuable for farming, while 93 percent of Huron county is valuable farm land. He says that industry should be put in areas with less desirable soil for farming. Durand went on to question the need for more power generating stations. He says that Qntario Hydro supplies United States with electricity while spoiling our air and soil. Durand is very concerned with alternative sources of energy. He has helped his son build a solar heated home, and he is currently researching 'the use of gasohol made from corn. CLASSIFIEDS For All Your N ds HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY Barry & Shirley Southcott From Your Friends From Clinton Dorothy Wallace and employees of the gaol board, Group tours for all age groups can still be arranged by appointment and these will be conducted by a well- qualified guide. In addition to the new method of touring, there are three new features to offer. On the third floor will be a courtroom in keeping with the period 1839-1846 when ,County Court was held there. On the second floor will be the• gaoler's apartment fur- nished as it was when the gaoler lived in the gaol until a cottage was built to house his family. Also on this floor the bathroom will be restored to its original state, plus equipment that was • added through the life of the gaol. Curator Harry Bosnell says that he hopes to con- tinue restoration in this way and eventually portray the entire life of the gaol rather than restore it to the 1839, era. 'For example, when complete, the four cell blocks will each show a definite period in the 133 years that the gaol was in operation. The flea market will operate again each Sunday and Holiday beginning May 18 and continue until mid- October.

Philip Durand of RR 2, Zurich, chairman of the Huron county Power Plant com- mittee, said that his group advised the Royal Com- mission on Electric Power Planning not to put a ther- mal generating station on the shores of Lake Huron. Last week, Dr. Arthur A-Forter641P4Pilof ttie,$5 million royal commission, told the provincial government not to put a power plant on Lake Huron south of Kincardine. Porter advised Ontario Hydro to consult the people of the area before making any decisions on major developments. Durand sees Porter's advice as a major victory for his group. The Huron county power plant committee was formed in 1974 to fight major developments and in- dustries. Members of this group are from 18 different organizations and municipal governments. Durand says that in 1974 Ontario Hydro proposed a coal generated power plant at Blake. This would have taken several acres off his farm, which is located about seven miles south of Bayfield. Durand was chairman of the white beans marketing board at that tiine, and was concerned about the effect industrial development would have on the soils and climate. Durand says that a coal generating station would give off sulphur dioxide which has a drastic effect on the yield of white beans.
