T -A photo Want smaller Pioneer museum Exeter's two representatives will be looking for a compromise solution when Huron county council meets Thursday to make a decision on the Pioneer museum. The two were supported by a mo- tion of their council, Monday, after Reeve Bill Mickle said he would at- tempt to have the museum scaled down to about half the size of tha, be- ing touted by the committee which wants Huron to spend about $2.5 million on a plan to replace the cur- rently closed museum in Goderich. Members of Exeter council agreed with Mickle's concern that county council had failed to consider the responses they received from the county's municipalities during a December poll. The results of the poll were "over- whelmingly negative" towards the costly proposal. Mickle explained, but "the response of the municipalities has been ignored". The museum committee has sug- gested a 55,000 square foot facility. while Mickle will suggest this week that it be reduced to something around 24,000 square feet. He said federal authorities noted that the size of the proposed museum was more than twice that of museums in other municipalities. Mickle said there would be con- siderable pressure on county council members to adopt the large-scale pro- posal. Ile read from the Goderich paper that a telephone campaign has been undertaken to gain support for the project as detailed. "It has to be down -sized," Deputy - Reeve Lossy Fuller commented. "It's the only way to go". Councillor Ben Hoogenboom said he was concerned over the large an- nual operating cost expected and said he would like to see Goderich picking up more of that cost as that town benefits most directly from the Summer schedule The Huron Country Playhouse, as most know, is located just outside Grand Bend on the Stephen B Line. In addition to a 600 seat theatre, the com- plex also includes a smaller cabaret styled theatre (150 seats) and a lob- by with refreshments and concession booth. The Playhouse schedule is now be- ing finalized for the summer of '85 and there are still some dates available when the facility is not in full use. Because Huron Country Playhouse is a non-profit, community funded organization it is hoped that local groups will take advantage of the complex.' Catered meals can be pro- vided, or perhaps meetings followed by theatre tickets might suit your par- ticular group or organization. Past events held at the Playhouse by local organizations have proved most successful. If your group re- quires further information please call Heather Redick, 238-8337.

When we got back Mr Ealgeson was there with some cake. She also brought her little baby. The next day we had a dentist come in and talk about teeth. We also had a hearing test. One day Constable Marshall came to the school to talk about safety. Joel Siebert and Kevin Carson The students of Mr. Weido's class had a fantastic and enjoyable time durng Environment week.

While noting that preserving heritage is important, Councillor Gaylen Josephson said that support for the initial proposal is out of the question. He said he could support the compromise plan suggested by Mickle. Josephson was critical of the coun- ty's dismissal of the municipalities' position. He questioned why county council had bothered the municipalities for their opinion on the matter if those opinions weren't go- ing to be given any weight. Councillor Dorothy Chapman said she found it frightening that after the majority had said no, there was still the possibility they would have to bow to the wishes of a few. Times -Advocate, Morch 6, 1985 Page 15A Farm equipment dealer attends historic meeting It was agricultural history in the making last week in Las Vegas when Case IH dealers from around the country joined forces for the first time. Bill Becker of Dashwood and area's new Case 111 agricultural equipment dealership, V.L' Becker and Sons Ltd., joined nearly 2,200 other dealer principals for the formal kick-off of the expanded J 1 Case agricultural equipment operation. On January 31, 1985, the U.S. Justice Department gave the final green light to Tenneco Inc.'s purchase of International Harvester's agricultural equipment business, which has now been merg- ed into Tenneco's affiliate, J I Case, headquartered in Racine, WI. A high point of the dealer meetings was the unveiling of colours and graphics for the new Case Interna- tional product line. Displayed on a Case IH 2096 tractor, the new graphics feature a major IH hallmark -- the characteristic IH red. The new logo retains the best of both traditions, putting the two established logos side by side -- Case IH. This fresh look will soon be a familiar sight across the continent. "There was a terrrific feeling in the air," said Bill Becker. "The entire Case IH dealer organization was ex- cited -- excited to see the equipment, excited about the new look, the new logo, the new colours -- and excited to be a part of the new Case IH Agricultural Equipment dealer network. "Our Case IH dealers can offer the most complete product line in the in- dustry, backed by the financial strength of Tenneco," he said. Case IH dealers participated in in- tensive training seminars on product features such as the Case 111 In- telligence Center, CDC engines and power transmissions. The seminars also profiled equipment lines in- cluding combines, hay and forage tools, planters and tillage equipnnen(. In addition to product information, dealers learned of new financing pro- grams, warranties, parts availabili- ty and other information vital to farm customers. "I think our customers will be Playhouse given grant Huron Country Playhouse has been awarded a $33,000. operating grant from the Ontario Arts Council.

The Playhouse will be making fur- ther announcements on a regular basis now that the operation is in full swing for this year. delighted the way things are shaping up," said Becker. "Both Case and IH warranties will be fully honored, parts availability will be excellent -- and Case financing, warranties and service will just be outstanding," he said. New Case 111 dealers carrry two - and four-wheel drive agricultural tractors up to 400 gross engine horsepower. plus a full line of plan- ting, harvesting, tillage and other agricultural equipment. The equip- ment line reflects the technological expertise of two strongly innovative companies. Early Riser Cyclo Air planters and Axial -Flow combines offer un- paralleled productivity and efficien- cy. The Case IH Intelligence Center, standard on most tractor models, is the industry's most comprehensive electronic monitoring system. New Case state-of-the-art diesel engines, already featured in the Case - 96 Series tractors, will gradually be phased into all the company's agricultural and construction equipment. Case is a worldwide manufacturer and marketer of construction and agricultural equipment.
