H. Neill, curator of Huron County Museum was voiced . by Town Council at its meeting last Friday night and decision was made to send a letter of recogni- tion to Mr. Neill. Mayor J. E. Huckins said that a surprising number of people had stopped at the information booth on the Square asking directions to the museum. Many people, he said, were interested in Mr. Neill's unique floral clock. A copy of the letter of recognition will be sent to County Council. A blue flame appearing on cer- tain pieces of land probably is due to methane, also called marsh gas or fire damp. If there are mines in the vicinity, it may be escaping from them, but also is forced by the decay of vegetation. Thank Goderich and District for your patronage of our 3rd Anniversary Sale.

The bearing was identified by Joseph Scott, whose farm is near the bridge, just northwest of Sea - forth, as being from the mill built by his father a little over a century ago. It is believed the bearing is made from South American hard- wood. The Scott family, a group of Huron County pioneers, settled the area in the 1830's and named it Roxboro after their home in Scot- land. It was in 1850 that James Scott built a mill where. the Rox- boro bridge now stands. For 30 years the mill was used by farmers in the area. Joseph Scott, whose son, Sam, farms the land deeded to Robert Scott by the" Canada Company in 1833, re- calls the time when the old mill operated day and night. When the water was low in the summertime, the mill was operated by steam: Presentation of the bearing to the Museum in Goderich was made by .Mr. Scott. ASSISTANCE OFFERED IN REBUILDING PLANS District farmers and residents of Bayfield came to -the rescue of the Bayfield Lions Club over the week- end after construction of the Com- munity _Centre in the village suf- fered a setback when roof trusses were crashed to the ground by high winds. Offers of money and services were made after the damage to the construction work on -the new building, located on the agricultur- al grounds, which is to be used as a skating rink and fair building. The project is being sponsored by the Bayfield Lions Club. The loss of money, time and labor will be offset by offers of district farm- ers to assist in rebuilding the roof and from several donations from visitors.
