Thanks council I would like to thank the Village Council and Reeve for taking action Wood carvings 'displayed at Van Egmond House The Huron County Pioneer Museum is pleased to announce that for the first time in four years, an important collection of wood carvings is on public display at the Van Egmond House, near Seaforth. The collection was housed on the second floor of the museum which has been closed to public viewing for the past four years. The carvings by George June depict characters and scenes familiar to the artist in the 1930's. June was forced to retire early from farming due to ill health. He discovered the art of whittling to be a satisfying way to pass the time. His craft was self taught. His tools were elementary, with the most important being the jackknife. A large model of a trotting meet makes one want to cheer the highly animated horse and drivers on. The excitement of the event is evident in the detail of the figures in the grandstands. Several other models portray log- ging scenes; there is a bus station, rand buggies, coaches and wagons are pulled by Belgiums, Shire and Morgans. The harness for these car- vings is meticulouslydetailed to a particular style. The buckles were specially cast at a Whitby plant. Perhaps his masterpiece, is a table in- laid with quarter inch squares, some 52,600 to form an almost oriental design of dragons and figures. June's work entailed the need for great accuracy and there is, mainfested, fine skill and originality of thought. This collection is bound to gain acclaim as it becomes known. The display titled "Whittling Time Away" will be at the Van Egmond House throughout August and September. A last chance to see it will be during Ciderfest, September 28. on the dog problem we had all last winter in town. How nice it is to once again be able to put the garbage out the night before and not have to pick it up all over the place in the morn- ing. I notice most of the people on our block are beginning to put it out at night again, as well as around town. Thanks again and keep up the good work! !' Praise doctors There was never a word of praise for our local medical personnel Dr. Charles Wallace and Mrs. Vischer who so faithfully kept the office open for regular appointments during the doctors' strike. They are always there when we need help. Hope everyone enjoyed the nice warm Civic holiday weekend. Can you imagine? Just one more long weekend left and summer is done and the kids will be back in school. Sympathy May we offer our sincere sympathy to the families and relatives of those from town who lost loved ones this past week. Elzer Masse who passed away on Monday, July 28, Mrs. Rachel Amanns on July 27 and Mrs. Elsie McKinley on July 26th.
