pyjamas for the Children's Aid

flannelette was on hand for the
members to take _home and cut
out and sew.
Mrs. Bessie Moore Conveners
of Agriculture and Canadian In-
dustries introduced the guest
speaker of the afternoon. He
was Peter Ivey of London who
has purchased the Gled hill
Woollen Mill and the Pfrirrirner
Feed Mill at Benmiller, and has
aroused everyone's curiosity
with his undertaking. Mr. Ivey
thanked Mrs:''More for inviting
him and he said he would try to
give us an outline of his plans or
his dreams for the two buildings
afore mentioned.
Mr, Ivey first came to Ben -
miller 45 years ago as a young
lad with his mother to buy
blankets at the Mill, and then
he came back again a few years
ago and saw a "For Sale" sign
in front of the Woollen Mill, so
with his sister Joanne as a part-
ner he bought the building and
later also—Purchased Pfrftmer
Feed Mill.
Their dream to' renovate the
Woolen Mill 'and make it into a
Country Hotel, a place tike
England old Country Hotel,
where a person can go for a
weekend and get away from it,
all. He said the . 90 year old
building is in.very good shape,
and renovation is quite,easy.
The old barn board construc-
tion will be kept to mix with the
country setting: The main floor,
will have a lounge and a dining
room, and about 12 bedrooms
on the upper floor each with its
own bathrootn. Mr. Ivey stated
that the place will not be a
Public place but membership
will be available.'
To make the place a big Con-
vention Hall was never his idea.
The Pond he said will be
stocked and private fishing will
be allowed.As, for the Pfrimrner
Mill, there are many thngs.Xhat
can be preserved there,
especially the big Turbine, he
said. He plans someday in
'generating his own power and
heat both buildings electrically.
He also dans on making living
quarters for the staff needed for
the operation.
Maybe a Craft room will be
added especially Textile Craft.
and he says it is not too feasable
but perhaps someday there may
be a Benmiller blanket
produced ' again. Providing he
can find someone to operate the.
looms.
Many things can be done he
said but it all takes time.
Mr. Ivey said he was grateful
for the opportunity to share his

was ready to answer any
questions put to him.
- The, first questioner asked if
he would remove the high fence
around his property. Mr. Ivey
said no, but that he would lower
it, as it does look a bit like a
concentration camp."
"When will he have open
house?" About May 1973 is ex-
pected and he assured the ladies
that they would be invited to
tour the building, as a group, as
soon asit is safe to have visitors.
