The renovated museum will feature a number of galleries for public viewing including European, four theme galleries containing artifacts and information ot the urban, industrial and institutional growth of county, military agriculture, trans- portation and a domestic gallery as well as a "Streetscape" which will be a replica of storefronts at the turn of the century. Mr. Breede .says,a marine gallery won't be included in the museum as it was avoided on purpose as a marine gallery already exists at the Harbourfront in God- erich. The Marine Museum will be included in an admission package with the Huron County Pioneer Museum. Paul Thompson, a Goderich area actor, commented that the most fascinating part of the old museum was the "element of surprise and curiosity" that it had. He asked the museum committee if these qualities will be a part of the revamped museum. Mr. Breede replied that this goal will be kept in mind when the designs are finalized. "We'll attempt to keep the surprise element, the sense of discovery, as the visitor goes through the museum. We'll do the very best we can," said Mr. Breede. Barry Page, a resident of Goderich, asked thecommittee__how they will go about putting up .the signs to describe the artifacts, especially for people with poor eyesight or a low level of learning. At other museums, he said, the signs . under displays have been less 'than adequate. Each display will have three types of signs -under them, The first type will. simply state what the object is; the second sign will. go into a little more detail while the third. sign will "tell you everything you • would 'ever want to know" about • the' artifact, says Mr. Breede, adding the signs will be in bold face type. Mr. Page also enquired if the museum plans to be self-sufficient:. in the future and if it had a strategy to advertise for visitors outside of Huron County. • Currently, no museum. in Canada is self-sufficient, said Mr; Breede, as they tend to run at 70 to 80 per cent deficit. However, the county museum will try to generate 30 per cent of its own revenue. "The museum is for the preservation of the quality of life and to allow the people of the county to learn something about itself. We're not in the business of making money. We'll never cease to rely on government funding," he said. As for the marketing of the museum to those outside the county, Mr. Breede says the museum will actively promote itself by trying to bring in bus tours to the museum, especially from Michigan. Paul Carroll, an employee of the Huron County Board of Education, asked the committee about how the museum can be used by the education system in Huron County. A classroom manual will be developed for each of the galleries in the museum. Currently, the broad concept of the manual has been presented to the principals at the Clinton elementary schools. Also under consideration, is for a teacher from the Huron County Board of Education to work with the museum for one year in order to come up with new programs for schools at the museum. The executive committee of Huron County and the executive committee of the Board of Education have met to discuss the idea and the reception was very favor- able," said Museum Committee Chairman Dave Johnston. - Y• w• A Freddie and the James Gang provided the entertainment for the annual St. Mary's ' wish" Barbecue at Grant Chisholms.

In the Hur9n County Council story (July 9) on the funding for the expansion and renovation to Huronview, some informa- tion was missed regarding the Bounty's funding situation. $240,000, not $750,000 was set aside in the 1986 county budget for the project. The $750,000 represents the county's total financialcommitment to the project which will be met over a three year period - if the project. is 'to proceed.
