thesuccessful summer at, the•
Jail, during which Mord than
8,000 visitors had toured it, the
president, .Joan Van Den
Br'oeck, informed the meeting
that a letter of support pfor the
Van Egmond Foundation con-
cerning application for a grant
.to help with- its restoration
project had been sent.
A discussion, of plans for the
coming year resulted in a
decisio.n to hold four meetings,
each in a different centre ie the

of newsletters containing items
of interest to conservationists.
The members were urged to
send to the secretary, Mrs.J.W.
Wallace, all material on con-
servancy' projects both within'•
and without the county which
they could gather.
Mr. James Doig iii Seaforth
was the speaker of the evening.
He told the meeting 'of the

the industry and .farming of•the
area through industrial
_displays and a farmers produce
market in the square. A tractor

.also tabled as legitimate attrac-

The committee also took into
'consideration—the feasibility of
sttaging such events as cycle
races; car •rallies; regattas,
canoe and kayak races, local
'homes tour,'an -air fly in and a
steam train as well as
providing such services as an
