Attendence up at Heritage Museum
While many of Ontario's
museums are cam. plaining
about a 10 percent decrease
in attendance for 1980,
Lambton Heritage Museum
reports an increase of about
1,127 visitors over the
previous year, up about six
percent.
In his annual report,
curator Robert Tremain
says that Amercian gasoline
shortages early in the
season, and a wet September
cut into the off season
tourist traffic, yet good
attendance over the summer
increased the total.
A portion of the museum's
visitors came by bus. Tre-
main says that a total of 108
busloads of senior citizens,
school classes and clubs
from all over southwestern
Ontario were given con-
ducted tours of the museum
in 1980.
Almost half of these
groups asked to take part in
the pioneer craft program,
where visitors make butter,
dip candles or split cedar
shingles.
According to Tremain, a
core group of dedicated
volunteers made such a
program possible. Dressed
in period costume, they ex-
plain to the children the
process of making natural
dyes. or demonstrate the art
of spinning.
In the fall of 1980, the
Lambton Country Board of
Education included the
Lambton Heritage Museum
as a formal part of the grade
five local hisory curriculum.
Tremain says that this of-
ficial reccommendation will
bring additional school
groups in 1981.
Tremain says that the two
special event days hosted by
the museum in 1980 proved
very popular. About 900
visitors came to the Antique
Gas Engine Day on May 25.
Then on August 10 another
1500 visitors enjoyed the
Heritage Craft Show and
Sale.
Due to the success of these
days, Tremain says that
they should become annual
events. However, the
success presented a new
problem. The present park-
ing lot and highway access is
not adequate to handle the
large crowds. Accordingly,
Tremain says that a new
access is to be installed this
year.
Plans to expand the
special event days to include
quilt shows and antique auto
rallies are being made.
Tremain also listed
another special event in his
report. The wedding of
Joanne McKellar and Bert
Vandersluis took place in the
Mary Ellen Chapel at the
museum on May 31.
Several new displays were
added to the museum in 1980.
The largest project was a se-
cond farm machinery
building. Exhibits in the ex-
isting farm machinery
building were cleaned up and
Eleven living reasons for
choosing Shur -Gain Pig Starter.
Improve the odds of keeping all the pigs in those big bonus litters.
Feed Shur -Gain Creep Feed and Shur -Gain Pig Starter—they provide
a number of vital advantages such as:
Good Taste. Shur -Gain tastes good. Little pigs commence eating it at
an early age and so help themselves to more vital growth essentials.
High quality ingredients. Little pigs stomachs are small. The high
quality ingredients of Shur -Gain bring maximum balanced nutrition
with every morsel consumed.
Wide range of medications. Select what medication, if any, is best for
your situation. Shur -Gain offers the widest range available.
Proven performance. There is no other pig starter that has been used
by so many hog producers. Yet Shur -Gain Pig Starter and Shur -Gain
Creep Feed are constantly being tested for ways of improvement.
As yet, they're still winners. You'll be a winner too when you choose
Shur -Gain Pig Starter to help make the most from your big litter
opportunities.

restored. Tremain says that
the infestation of the powder
post beetle is a recurring
problem in the implement
building. which must be con-
tinually treated and
monitored.
In the main building,
several new displays have
been set up. They include
churns. china, military
paraphenalia, old lighting, a
stuffed bird area and the in-
dustrial history of Lambton.
Tremain says that several
large funding requests sub -
mitred by the museum were
well received and approved
by various levels of govern-
ment and private cor-
pora tions.
Four students were hired
for the summer with a $10,-
300 grant from Canada
