(photo by Gwen Pemberton) the BA YFIELD b by Gwen Pemberton ugle Huron's Architectural Conservancy The Architectu Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) was incorporated as a Society in 1933 for the preservation of the best examples of the ar- chitecture of the province and for the protection of its places of natural beauty. Its periodical, published quarterly, titled "Acorn" provides a comprehensive over -view of successes and failures in conservancy. The Huron County Branch of ACO grew otit of 'a small group of people who organized a "Save the Jail Society" when the future of the abandoned County Jail in Goderich was in some doubt. Their interest spread to other Huron historic buildings. Sinceil thfthe Branch has. greatly increased in numbers and has brought several outstanding speakers to the County. Many of the meetings have been . held in Bayfield at the `Little Inn'. On Thursday evening last week, a large audience had the good fortune to hear Anthony Adamson co-author of "The Ancestral Roof" and "The Gaiety of Gables and } author of, "Toronto, No Mean City". Mr. Adamson is chief design consultant for Upper Canada Village. In his opening remarks he expressed pleasure that con- servancy in Huron County "is bubbling away'". His illustrated lecture on `Ontario Courthouses and Town Halls' was most thorough, covering elaborate buildings erected in Kingston,, Cobourg, Stratford, Toronto and London in the early days when ambitious towns `made maknificent bids' to become capitals, engaging the tnost alt promineri architects to build the most prestigious edifices. , Later in 1849, when counties replaced districts, scores of little buildings sprang up as township offices without the benefit of architects and consequently with very mixed styles. Upstairs in the town halls were assembly rooms where many churches started. They 'were usually next door to inns and not by chance as liquid refreshments were Welcome particularly on election days. His knowledge of the history behind the buildings and the architectural styles, his, love of his subject and his frequent humorous asides : added 'up . to . a. delightful evening. lie ,eonunended the town of Paisley in par- ticular for its successful restoration of its town hall and other buildings although it has a small population of only a few hundred people. He ended his lecture .with a few distressing examples of `For Sale' signs on Town Halls. Kelvin Jervis was Mr. Adamson's able assistant at the projector. Mrs. Dorothy Wallace, president of Huron County ACO called on representatives from the towns of Clinton, Goderich, Seaforth, Exeter and Bayfield to report on progress in efforts to conserve significant buildings. Mrs. Wallace attended the ACO Council meeting in Niagara -on -the -Lake and suggested that an invitation for the spring meeting of the Council from the Huron County Branch might be in order. It was reported that the ACO pictorial display "New Life for Old Buildings in Huron County" is currently in Seaforth Public School and will be placed in the ii©W/I CEN� SPECIALS Oct. 12th -Oct. 2lst. „ft!. r 1.0 OFF)\\, •JEANS *T-SHIRTS *CORDS *TOPS *OVERALLS *SWEATERS •DRESSpA,N1'S All caniisldl if Nicole Hansel & Greta!

Tiverton arena closes The Tiverton arena will be closing its doors just as the minor hockey and figure skating season get underway. According • to the Kincardine News last week it is unknown when or if the arena will be reopened again. The Tirvertom council alas• learned�t,:°fro.M11;? the: Ministry ''of Labor that "the arena cannot be used after the first snow fall in its present con- dition." While B.M. Ross and Associates of Goderich are working on the problem,. it was suggested that a monitoring system be set up to determine the ac- tual snow load and wind velocity. To make the arena safe the ministry says that all the truss work would have to be strengthened with plate's and additional bolts. Less major repairs were also cited. St. Marys may have to construct another water tower within the next seven to 10 years, the St. Marys Journal -Argus told its t eaders in its Oct. 5iition:' ,i '' ' PUC manager R'on Carter told the council that the tower had been repaired so many times that it just wasn't worth any more major costs. He also noted that the present tower soon wouldn't be large enough to accommodate the town. He suggested setting up a sinking fund to help with the costs of erecting a new tower, expected to cost $500,000.
