About courts, Huron archives, local
To the editor:
The article under the
headline. "Society advised
to start work on an
Archive." in your
September 30 edition is in-
formative, but misleading in
that the readers are left with
the impression that there is
no control location for
Archives materials at the
present time.
We do have a Huron Coun-
ty Archives, as you will see
if you read the sign on the
public library building at 66
Waterloo St., Goderich.
Professor Philps' message
was that there is no suf-
ficient accommodation for
all the documents and other
historical information that
should be gathered together
in one location in Huron
County.
When the Huron County
Historical Society was form-
ed in 1964. three of the objec-
tives stated in the Constitu- available, as far as may be
tion were: feasible, to those wishing to
do historical research. Mrs.
Muriel Mack, the first presi-
dent, with the assistance of
Mrs. Tait Clark and the late
Mrs. Robt. Simpson, and
many others throughout the
intervening years, have
ceaselessly pursued these
objectives.
1. To bring together those
persons who are interested
in preserving the history of
our County and its people
and to stimulate interest in
our local history.
2. To discover, collect,
classify and preserve any
material concerning the
history of Huron County'and A room at the Huron Coun-
its people. ty Pioneer Museum which at
3. To make this material first was quite adequate and
where the staff were most
co-operative was the initial
location of the Archives.
But, as the historical
materials accumulated,
.those quarters became too
small and in the spring of
1980, the County council
provided a vault and room
space in their library
building.
There, in the vault and the
Canadian Room, you will
find a great variety of
historical information:
Assessment rolls and Collec-
tors books: school registers;
old jury lists; Women's
Institute Tweedsmuir
books: Directories,
gazetters and atlases; legal
documents of various sorts;
material on the townships,
villages, towns, churches,
cemeteries and families;
and much, much more.
Researchers come (or
write) for help from many
points in Canada and the
United States and, as
Professor Philps stated, it
would be best if all
documents, papers,
registers and historical
booklets pertaining to Huron
County were in one place in-
stead of being scattered here
and there.
This should be an ultimate
goal. attained only by the co-
operation of all concerned.
In the meantime, we do
have an Archives staffed by
volunteers and, if all
townships. villages, towns
and others having historical
materials would give the
Huron County Historical
Society a list of their
holdings it would be of great
assistance in providing
researchers with the infor-
mation they need.

and interested spectators
gathered at the Brussels
Stockyards where owner
Bruce McCall had made the
facilities available for the
event. Lawrence Beane had
arranged all publicity, and
donated the ribbons for the
show.
In the morning Jim
Coultes of Wingham, retired
from farming but still buying
and selling cattle, judged the
calves. After looking over
the 15 animals he said,
"These are good calves, and
presented well, considering
the top 30 or so are heading
for Toronto. These children
are too young (for the
Queen's Guineas com-
petition) or don't want to go
to the Royal yet."
In the under 1050 lbs.,
Allan Pym, RR 1 Centralia,.
had the champion and Kevin
Deitner, RR 1 Ethel the
reserve. The calf of Scott
Townsend, RR 4 'Seaforth
was declared champion, and
Mary Gibson's RR 5 Clinton,
reserve champion in the
1050 lb. class. For 1150 and
over Julie Townsend, RR 4
Seaforth placed first and
Robert Gordon, Belgrave,
had the reserve champion.
Allan Pym's steer was
show grand champion, and
Julie Townsend was
awarded the reserve
champion ribbon.
MPP Jack Riddell post-
poned Thanksgiving dinner
at his brother's home in
Grand Bend until sup-
pertime to act as auctioneer
for the afternoon sale.
"I don't mind taking a
drive on such a beautiful
day", he said.
The sight of young people
parading their 4-14 calves
reminded Riddell of the days
when he was in 4-11, and a
calf he had looked after for
months was sold for meat.
"No one likes to part with a
pet", he recalled, "but girls
are more emotional. Boys
accept it as part of the
business. However, I hated
to see my first calf go. If you
had your way, you'd just as
soon load it and take it back
home."
In his opening remarks
before beginning the sale,
Riddell commended the 4•
Hers, and those who
arranged the show and sale
"to give 4 -Hers, an alter-
native way to sell calves
when restricted by age, or
demands of university or
other school and can't take
time to go to the Royal."
With the warning "I
haven't done this for eight or
ten years" Riddell picked up
the mike and called for bids
on Allen Pym's grand
champion calf.
He had not lost his touch.
All 15 animals sold above the
going market price. Pym's
calf brought the top price of
$106.5, the lowest successful
bid was 79.05, with an
overall average of 86.82
cents for the sale. The show
champion was purchased by
Veal's Meat Market.
Riddell couldn't resist
thanking everyone for the
"liberal" bidding.
Ag rep Stan Paquette
commented later, "The
response from buyers was
quite good, encouraging, and
i hope for bigger and better
next year."
Letter to the editor:
I note with interest that
the Ontario Unicef Com-
mittee has declared the
week of October 24-31, 1981,
to be UNICEF Week For
Safe Drinking Water.
During this week UNICEF
will promote citizen
awareness of the United
Nations "International
Drinking Water Supply and
Sanitation Decade, 1981-
1990". and I am more than
pleased to wish the Com-
mittee every success on
behalf of the Government of
Ontario.
The goal of this U.N. -
declared Decade is to
eliminate by 1990 the threat
of death and disease which
presently endangers the
lives of 500 million children
in the developing world. The
provision of basic
necessities such as wells,
pumps and pipes will
guarantee safe water, a vital
contribution to the health
and well-being of these
children in need.
I urge my fellow Ontarians
to join with me in offering
encouragement and support
to UNICEF during UNICEF
Week For Safe Drinking
Water. Your generosity can
ensure a healthy future for
children less fortunate than
our own.

Dear Editor:
Each week after reading
my copy of your paper, I
often times pause and
reflect upon some of the
names of local and area peo-
ple which have been listed in
the Exeter court column. So
very many times I am able
to associate many of these
names to previous copies of
the local tabloid.
After determinlpg myself.
that some of these in-
dividuals are not just the
' victims of harassment by
some over zealous police of-
ficer, as is so often claimed,
but actually are the nuisance
or petty criminals they are
accused' of being, I follow
the agonizingly slow process
of our judicial system in ac-
tion.
An eternity passes, it
seems, before our learned
officials of the court are able
to reach a guilty verdict dur-
ing which time the
'defendant" has often been
released on his own
recognizance only to have
been apprehended and
charged with another viola-
tion against society.
The verdict reached, it
now takes an• even greater
length of time to prepare
some kind of pre -sentence
report, in which friends,
relatives, employers and
sometimes even clergymen
are asked to stand up and;
tell the public and the court
what a mistake it would be
to reprimand this individual
for his crimes,.
Again time passes... , (in-
decision,mistakes pondered,
more crime committed) and
finally after all the untold
hours of work and investiga-
tion by untold number of of-
ficers of the law and the
court, some judge or justice
of the peace, sitting behind
his bench, with all his
respectability (to us lesser
beings) does not even have
the confidence in the people
around him or the interests
of the general public in
mind, sentences our poor
persecuted individual to a
mere fine or minimal im-
prisonment.
After what usually has
been months already, he
even allows the individual
more time before he has to
pay his fine.
This Is a farce! ! !
It's time the public started
supporting the efforts of our
law enforcement officers by
demanding a faster judicial
process and at the very
least, a slightly more severe
punishment for convicted
felons.
Yours truly,
Jim Parker

To the editor;
In reference to a comment
by Mayor Shaw concerning
renting the new agricultural
building. "If somebody is go-
ing to make a pile of money,
out of it, then the board
Should share it."
Does he not know that
when a service club or other
organization sponsors a pro-
ject to raise money, 85% or
more of the profit has to go
back into the community.
Where does he think the
money comes from to buy
such items as the swimming
pool, bridges over the river,
the wading pool and play
ground equipment in Vic-
toria Park, the tennis courts
and some of the' money to
build the ball diamonds, the
wheelchairs, physio equipe-
ment etc donated to the
hospital and the recreational
facilities?
If the donating
organizations don't have the
money on hand, they have to
borrow it at the going rate
agricultural building, UNICEF
....
and try to raise money to
pay off the loan.
If the cost of renting the
facilities in this town
becomes too high, remember
within 10 miles we have two
arena's and large halls
which we can rent, if the
price is right.
I'm sure they would ap-
preciate the extra support
and funds to help pay their
beat and hydro. It would be
too if the Exeter Orien-
Clubs have
side of
bad
tated
to
go
out-
money.
