She spoke of her early childhood, spent mostly in the City of West- minster (London proper), and of the interest she developed in things historical. It was very hard indeed, she said, to spend one's time in the shadow of the Houses of Parliament, of the British Museum, the Tower, Buckingham Palace and countless other With the breakup of Lake Huron recently the fishing season has resumed at Bayfield, and all fishermen are busy pr paring and setting netsfer the run, which started late last week.

We've moved next door as of April 1st., we are located one door north of our previous location tascinating and historical landmarks without developing a very real interest in them. One of the older museums mentioned by Mrs. 'Owen was the London Museum - one of her favourite places, where she had, as a schoolgirl, first seen the vest worn by King Charles I on the day he had his head chopped off. The Museum was moved at the outbreak of war but the memories still remain. One of the most vivid ones being that of the Queen's doll's house which was perfect in every detail and included a tiny workbox con- taining a minute pair of scissors that actually cut cloth. Mrs. Owen talked about the Natural Hi,Story Museum in South Ken- sington and the War Museum whic,h was of such interest ,to her after all the stories her father had told he about how he had won the first World War single-handed,• although she had since learn/ed that Canon Paull of Layfield had actually helped him. She then told or visits to the Victoria and Albert Museum and of seeing many of George Bernard Shaw's original Manuscripts, many Of which were in shorthand, in the manuscript room of the British Museum. She moved out of the city of London and told of various Museums visited in the New Forest and other rural areas. She talked about Salisbury Cathedral and how it came to be built, about Canterbury and the many well-known spots in that area. Mrs. Owen now came to the main topic of the night - the Weald and L)ownland museucnwhich is quite unique in that a Mr. Armstrong, in 1967, got the idea that there were altogether too many old buildings being destroyed and, in some cases, an entire ar- chitectural style lost. No one seemed to care about these old buildings which -were-'nor the type that might baken over by the N ional Trust because , they had belonged/to great people, but rather shepherds' cottages, charcoal burl ers huts and barns and mills that were no longer in use and in ;danger of being pulled down. They were able to acquire 40 acres of land which were given to them by the Edward James foundation and set up an open airs museum. They bought up and moved a number of old buildings which were earmarked for demolition and proceeded to reassemble them in their new location. In all cases they tried very hard to rebuild with either the original materials or, if these were too badly damaged, with material that was so close to the original that it is now difficult to tell the difference. Mrs. Owen had prepared a very in- teresting display showing these buildings, in sketch form, and the general layout of the 'village' in which they were assembled. This differs from our own Upper Canada Village in that the buildings do not necessarily conform to one particular style and range all the way from farm houses with their barns, to old water mills, cottages and what we would refer to as driving sheds. The styles range over several centuries and the village includes a good deal showing the arts and crafts of different eras. This is purely private enterprise run by volunteers and without any funding other than what people donate. After the meeting, Mrs. Owen was thanked by Vina Parker and everyone was asked to sign a card which was to be sent to "Friends of the Museum" society in England. Refreshments were served by Doris Reddoch and her com- mittee. 15 needlepoint Jean Dunn and Charlene Porter taught 15 women needlepoint in three sessions recently in the basement of St. Andrew's United Church.
