T -A photo WI explores world role For women's institutes, it was "back in '97 when women's lib began" and the role of women in society will return next year as the cross - Canada theme of the rural federation. Janet Hiepleh, president of the Federated Women's In- stitutes of Ontario, said Wednesday that in 1983 the 50,000 institute members across the country will focus on "where we (women) fit in- to the world today." She said issues to be explored include To the Voters of STEPHEN TOWNSHIP I have enjoyed the last two years on council and look forword with more confidence to the privilege of serving the Township as councillor for the next three years.

Hiepleh, .of RR 2 Springfield, was guest speaker at the 68th annual convention of the London Area Women's Institute. About 350 members from the 123 branches in Middlesex, Elgin, Perth, Huron and Ox- ford counties signed up for the two-day meeting at the St. Marys Area Arena and Com- munity Centre. The 'quote came from a song performed at the con- ference by members of the Auburn Women's Institute - referring to the establishment of the first women's institute at Stoney Creek, near Hamilton, on Feb. 19, 1897. Although institute members have not been as brash as the stereotyped bra - burning feminists, Hiepleh said they have long been in- volved in issues important to the rural communities where they' live. She said the in- stitutes continue to follow in the footsteps of Adelaide Hunter Hoodless, who in- spired women attending a meeting of the all-male Farmers' Institute of. South Wentworth in 1897 to set up their own group. "Our role is still to develop happier and more useful citizens in the community and that has never changed," Hiepleh said. Thae institute motto, For Home and Coun- try, still holds true, she said, because a nation cannot rise above the level of its families." • Hoodless is remembered in - Canadian history `\as the woman who made domestic science (and its later off- shoots) an integral and seem- ingly commonplace part of the education system. Hoodless took up her banner after her 18 -month-old son's death was blamed on con- taminated milk. Ridiculed in the press and from some pulpits "as one of the despised new women," Hoodless made women's in- stitutes her primary tools in the domestic education of women. The institutes eventually spread across the country and then overseas, so that in af- filiation with other rural women organizations, the Canadian federation is now part of the nine -million membership of the Associated Country Women of he World. Women's institutes are still enowned for their home ooking and fine sewing and re sometimes seen as old- ashioned and un- ophisticated, but members aintain the basic impor- ance of these skills. Bradnock, an institute ember for more than 50 ears like her mother before er. said "that's where I arned my livelihood— ewing." The spunky senior Mizen said she has been sew - g professionally for more an 25 years. a skill which t bread on her table after ✓ husband died.

A petition with 2,500 names of school children opposed to the moving • of the museum, currently in Goderich, to Vanastra was presented to Warden Harold Robinson by Heather Larson, 11, of Goderich. The well composed 11 -year-old, along with a spokesman for concerned citizens of Goderich, Dr. Tom Jasper, spoke to county coun- cil at its October 28 session. There were about 15 people from Goderich in attendance at the session. For its part, county council approved two more studies regarding the museum. One, a structural study of the pre- sent museum. will be done by B. M. Ross and Associates of Goderich. The Town of Goderich will pay $2,000 for this study, an expenditure the town has approved. The second additional study, to be done by Museum Programs Collaborative, a ' museum and art gallery con- sulting firm, will carry out a preliminary investigation of the suitability of the former Telecommunications School in Vanastra to house a museum. A report to country council by the special committee made up of property and development states, the cost of $2,000 would reduce the cost of a full scale feasibility study if carried out in the future." Students.get post secondary scholarships Huron County students in post secondary school studies will receive $200 scholarships from the county. ' Huron county council ap- proved the scholarship list at its October 28 session. Joanne E. Wood of Wingham and Brian R. Ray of Seaforth, both students at the University of Western On- tario will receive $200. Two Goderich students at the University of Waterloo,' Bradley Hamilton and John Trebish will each receive a Huron County scholarship. Terry Baker of Hensall, a student a Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology will also receive a 3200 scholarship. .Three Huron students at the University of Guelph will receive scholarships. They are Christopher Meier of RR 4 Brussels, Bevan Shapton of RR 1 Exeter and Mary Jane Visser of RR 5 Seaforth. Two collisions hit and run Only two minor collisions were investigated by the Ex- eter xeter OPP this week. both in- volving hit and run drivers. On Friday, a vehicle driven, by Gordon Wood. Huron Park, was in collision with an unknown vehicle which left the scene on the Crediton Road just west of Highway 4. • Damage to the Wood Vehi- cle was listed at 5400. The following night. a van owned by Doug Osgood, Ex- eter, was struck by an unknown vehicle on Oxford St. in Hensall. Damage in that one was listed at $500. Coiety council initiall authorized two studies, structural engineering and a operational cost study. Th engineering study indicated the building in Vanastra i structurally sound. At. its September session, council decided to wait for the opera- tional cost study before any final decision is made regar- ding the purchase of the building. Now that study will wait utrtil the MPC completes its study of the Vanastra Building. Several county councillors agreed suggestions received from Goderich citizens were "interesting". One such sug- gestion is for the county to purchase three historic homes adjacent to the museum for expansion purposes. "I'm not sure it is economically wise," com- mented Reeve Fred Haberer of the suggestion, but added, "it's something to look at." Goderich Reeve Don Wheeler said he is "pleased" with the steps the county has taken on the museum. He believes county councillors should have all information before them before a decision is made. "When it. (final decision) comes out in the final wash, everybody will have had their say," noted Reeve Wheeler and he couldn't resist adding, "we'll probably still have the museum in Goderich." Dr. Hasper said the main reason he was speaking at county council was "to make county council aware of the increasing public support" to keep the museum in Goderich. He suggested there are three stages of the issue and they are to make the public aware of the situation and public involvement which he says leads to the third step and that is public fund raising. He "cited the Town of Seaforth, as the proud owners of a new arena obtained utrougr public fund raising, a as an example of how people • can support a public building e with their pocket books. Speaking on behalf of young s citizens in the county, Miss Larson said Goderich is a nice . place to live and what makes it even nicer is the museum. She told county council the original school house was built in 1856 and stopped be' a school in 1949. Then in 1950 'it was founded as a museum and presently has over 1,000 artifacts. "I am disappointed in those who want to move the museum," concluded Miss Larson. The special committee also received a letter from Paul and Mary Carroll of Seaforth who in their concern for Huron County as a whole, ask- ed that the purpose of the museum be considered. That is, if it is to be for collection purposes, Vanastra isn't a Info book praised An information book com- piled by the planning and devel '8epartmeni of Huron Comet was praised by one of the national companies that receives it. A letter from the Canada Labour Views Co. Limited was read at the October 28 session of Huron County Council. The letter indicates the company uses numerous directories from various. parts of the country. "Yours is the most, infor- mative and interesting of the whole lot. It makes me want to pack up and move to Huron County," company represen- tative Mike Smith stated in the letter. The letter was addressed to Lori Vanstone, the secretary for the Huron County plann- ing department. She has worked for the county for four years and has continually up- dated the information. The book highlights such in- formation as municipal government, education, in- dustries and services. Ms. Vanstone said county schools, real estate companies and construction companies receive copies of the book as well as those interested in establishing in Huron County. Ms. Vanstone says about 150 to 180 are sent to companies in the United States and a few are sent overseas. The booklet has been in ex - 'stance for six to seven years. bad location, but if the Aur - pose is to share the county's heritage, the tourist traffic flow has to be considered. Alsd relating to the museum, the county will not file any objections to the Town of Goderich's applica- tion to designate the lands and buildings of the Huron Coun- ty Pioneer Museum as a pro- • perty of architectural and op. historical significance under The Ontario Heritage Act. After changes in the wor- ding in the statement of pur- pose and collections manage- ment of the museum, both documents were approved by county council. Deputy Reeve Robert Allen of Goderich who requested at the September meeting that the documents be tabled for further study,. acknowledged, that Goderich's committee of con- cerned citizens found the wor- ding changes quite acceptable.
