"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.

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. William G. Davis 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 231 Algonquin Drive Huron Park, Ontario 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.
