Opening of new Huron County Museum earns record high attendance level East Wattmosh council The opening of the new Huron County Museum sent attendance at the museum to its highest atten­ dance level since 1969, Huron County Council was told Feb. 1. Attendance at the museum hit 22,324 in 1989, despite the fact the completed museum wasn’t opened until October. The attendance in­ cluded 1,143 to the Marine Museum. Claus Breede, director curator said the attendance was helped by programming such as the Christmas program for school classes with over 2500 students attending. Among recent visitors to the museum was Tom Hockin, Federal Minister of Tourism and Small Business who made a flying tour of the museum during his visit to Goderich to speak to the Chamber of Commerce, and went away with brochures to show his friends. Also visiting the museum in January were six Soviet scientists along with three translators and some Ontario Hydro officials. The group had been at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station and were brought down to see the museum. Mr. Breede called the visit “an incredible experience”.>|c * * * * The museum received a major,, donation of well over 10,000 nega­ tives from the family of a former Goderich photographer, a Mr. Henderson.

Final approval was given for a plan of subdivision for Lower Town Wingham in Turnberry township. This was, Planning Director Dr. Gary Davidson told council, the first ever plan approv­ ed by a county under delegation of authority over such matters to the county from the province. Such plans no longer have to go to the province for final approval in Huron. A resolution from the city of Cambridge opposing proposed legislation that would allow extra long trucks and trailers on provin­ cial roads was not acted upon by the county. Engineer Denis Merrall pointed out to the county road committee that transportation costs are an important input in the cost of goods produced or purchased in Huron because of the county’s remote location from major trans­ portation corridors. There is no evidence such long trucks will have a negative impact on county roads, he said. ***** McCutcheon Motors of Brussels was a big winner in tenders for various purchases by the road department. The Brussels company won out over five other bidders for the sale of three half-ton trucks and The game was salted away with 58 seconds left as Mike Bromley picked up his third goal of the game as he poked in Tim Lyon’s slow roller that was sliding along the Blyth Novices win Continued from page 35 remaining in the game set up by Amanda Anderson and Darryl Bromley.
