The �yal Ontario Mem
known as the ROM, bo
Canada's largest public m1m
and a major research, ihatitutlon
Its beginnings can be traced bac
to 1833 when Cham Fothell,
member of ' the '' .Legi;lativ
Assembly ` of ;Upper Canada
sought the talent,of
"Lyceum of Natural History an
Fine Arts in the City of:York".
However, it was notuntil 1
after F'othergill's death, '`that
provincial .muse was estab
lisped in the Normal and Modd
Schools (npw the site of Ryerson
Pollyte niicai Institute). On Apr'
16, 1912, the Legislative
Assembly of Ontario passed- the
' act which created the Royal
Ontario Museum.
Originally, it was five separate
museums-jthe Royal Ontario
Museums of Archaeology,
Geology, Mineralogy; Palaeonto-
logy and Zoology all sharing the
building which is now the west or
rear wing of the ROM. Each, mu-
seum had a separate director.
Background of the,Museum
would be incomplete without a
mention of the first Director of
the Royal Ontario Museum of
Archaeology, Charles�Trick Cur-
relly. A graduate of V;ictoxia
College, Currelly embarked on a
trip to Europe in 1902 with a
collection of Roman coins" that
had been given to him, and an
introduction to a member of the
staff of the British Museum,
where he was taken on as an
assistant archaeologist. Through
his field work wish the British ..
Museum, he managed to. make
purchases which were later sent
to. Victoria College.
In 1905, he returned to Toronto
for a visit and to. make clear to
scholars and politicians that the
projected museum ought to
belong to the university. • This
received official sanction and

for purchases, but no' salary or

Ontario Hydro has held inter-
views with Huron county people
to find out if they approved or dis-
approved the proposed new
power station in Huron County..
However, they did not give any
information as to the consequ-
ences a power plant would have
on the jobs and taxes of the
people in Huron's towns 'and vil-
lages, from- Wingham y through
Goderich down to the south. As a
result, if my information is
correct, townspeople generally
were in favour of a power plant.
• I will give here . some of the
drawbacks that a power plant
will have onour towns, as exper-
ienced by the people in other
areas, who were suddenly con-
fronted
onfronted with a great industrial
development, which they initially
welcomed with a' great deal of
joyous .,expectation.
In Bruce County about 8,000
persons work on the Douglas
Point project. Let's assume that
in Huron County it would be 4,000
workers. The average family
being 3/ persons, it would re-
quire housing, schools, recre-
ation facilities, restaurants and
store expansion, sewers and
water for 14,000 people. Hydro
would pay some of this, but the
greater burden will fall on all
Huron taxpayers, that is you and
me.
The London Free Press re-
ported that a belated study on
Bruce County shows that it will
cost the surrounding municipalit-
ies $24.5 million. The study says
that the Douglas Point station
will have an adverse effect on
nearby municipalities for the cost a
of providing additional services. i
Our county council would be s
well advised to initiate a similar
study, so we, the taxpayers, will
have a better idea if there are any a
benefits in this type of develop-
ment. When the plant is com-
pleted there will be, at the most,
1,000 people permanently . em-
ployed. The cost incurred for the
3,000 families that leave, will be
all wasted and • the empty
facilities have to be abandoned or
kept up ' with your and my tax
money.
Another side effect felt in
Bruce was the closing of small
plants which couldn't compete
with the wages paid the power
plant workers. As a result many
were laid off and, in the case of
older workers, '(45 and up) very
difficult to find a new job.
If this Huron plant would be
started in the next five years, it
would affect workers who are
now in their late thirties. This
again, will hit your pocketbook,
for that is where welfare is
coming from. I know that real
estate people will probably frown
on this letter, for they are the
only ones who stand to profit by
industrial expansion of this kind.
There will also be a few farmers
who will receive premium prices
for their land. This however will
be limited to a very few whose
land is needed for the plant site
and for the needed subdivisions
for 4,000 families.
If it goes like Bruce, there will
be a ban on development within a
five -mile radius of the plant,
which locks this land in
agriculture and the farmer who
owns this land is locked in a low
price. Probably lower than
before, or who wants the risk of a
nuclear plant or the smoke of a
coal-fired plant on his doorstep?
I could bring forth many more
rguments, all against a power
plant in Huron County. What we
hould have is an independent
tudy of all the effects on our
money and our life style. AFTER
this study we should be asked by
n independent group if we want
thisployeesplant,' not biased Hydro em-

again is devoted to laboratories

signed and built:
Although the Museum is al-
ready short of space, its collec- -
tions ' are constantly increasing.
Much material is obtained
through gifts, exchanges with
other museums and by purchase.
The' fourth method of obtaining
material is through field expedi
tions. Many of the staff members
of the Museum have been, or are
on field expeditions all over the
world, collecting, new specimens
for the life and earth. science
departments, or acquiring arti-
facts from past cultures.
Throughout the year, the Royal
se Ontario Museum, conducts a
wide variety of activities: exhi-
on bitions, lectures, films, concerts,
literary, readings and special
events. The Museum is also in-
volved in the publiOation of
books, on a wide range of sub-
jects, in the fields of art, ar-
chaeology and the sciences.
The Royal Ontario Museum is
located at' Bloor Street and
Queen's Park, in the heart of
Toronto. It is easily reached by
st bway {Museum Station), or the
Avenue Road <bus. Although, they

Adult admission is 50 cents
during the day, free in the

citizens and students are ad-

An ideal ' way to learn more
about the background of
galleries, exhibitions, ' artifacts

tours, which are informative,
interesting and relaxed.
A comfortable restaurant
serving hot meals and snacks is
located on the main floor by the
Armour Court, and the Dinosaur
Den children's cafeteria is on the
lower level. There are three
shops filled with unique items
from around the world. The Book
and Gift Shop, located at the
main entrance, features jewel-
lery,, pottery, weaving, books and
many unusual items. The Mini
Shop, on the lower level, features
treasures for children, while the
shop in' the McLaughlin
Planetarium stocks astronomical
books and aids.
The Royal Ontario Museum is
the sort of place where you can
browse about at your leisure for a
week and still not see all there is
to see. It is an intriguing ex-
perience. A trip to the Museum is
not only great fun but also an
educational delight to be remem-
bered for the rest of your life.
