Irvine announced today. OHRP provides per capita grants to Ontario municipalities to administer directly as loans to homeowner occupants to repair their houses to ail. acceptable municipal minimum standard. Goderich Township has been allocated $8,547.00 at this time, Mr. Irv.ine,. said, which represents 25 per cent of the total 1975-76 funding designated under OHRP for the municipality. The prime objective of the program is the ,correction 'of Vanastra flub u The Vanastra Gun Club held' their final, shoot of the season last season, and a newcomer, Ed Britnell of Goderich, had a perfect day in the shoot, hitting, all 25 birds. John Greidanus of Clinton • and Greg Potter of Goderich tied for second spot with 23 hits each, and Paul Middleton and Mery Batkin of Clinton, and Lloyd"V'enner' -of 'Hensall were next with 22 hits each. The top shooters were followed by Glen Mogk of Bornholm, Pat Heenan of Seaforth 'and Don Wise of Clinton with 21 'each, Ashley Gilbert of Goderich with 18 and Randy Middleton of Clinton With ' 16. In a special shooting doubles, where' two birds are released at once, Greg, Potter of Goderich and Pat Heenan of Seaforth were the top shooters, hitting 16 out of 25 birds.

"Goderich Township is to be congratulated for its initiative in moving quickly to implement this program, which • ensures the continued usefulness• of needed existing housing." ° ''� The maximum amount of an OHRP loan, as determined by .,. I.46•� the local municipality, is $7,500, less any funding from other home renewal program. The municipality is also responsible for determining the rate' of interest charged on the loan, from zero to eight per. cent,' and what portion of the loan.will be "forgiven", end therefore need not be paid back. OHRP extends. home renewal possibilities to owner occupants in any municipality in Ontario, urban or rural, which has, adopted either a minimum housing standards bylaw or a resolution setting such stan- dards. HURON HISTORIC TAIL Hit ' J'1 B d Huron County Council vetoed municipal re=structuring a few weeks ago. Who knows what might have' happened if the `'`Tiger" had still been around. What would he have to say about the'municipal boundaries that were set so longago? The stUdy sessions of the 1975 council must have borne some resemblance. to the struggles of the late 1830's when Tiger Dunlop and the other fathers of local government fought for local autonomy with the Government at York. They were challenged by the then' Provincial Government to show that they could earn the right to govern their own affairs. A government• centre, was required, comprising a jail, a -'court facility; and a council chamber. Dunlop and his cohorts accepted 'the challenge. The result of .their efforts was the Huron Historic Gaol. Being . a somewhat frugal lot, and not wanting the taxes to be too high, they made a composite plan..Much to the,dismay,of the local clergy, they eliminated the third -floor chapel from the jail' plan, and built instead, a combination courtroom and council chamber. It is thatroorn that th•e Huron s ori ar oar wants restore to its original,con- dition. ` It will provide a`, •riew focus at this propular tourist ':site and point..more clearly to the .original purpose in having .the building constructed. It is a , big job, and the research required is still largely incomplete. The building is giving many clues, however. By examining the base -boards and the floor, one can tell the location of the prisoners' dock, the jury's box, and the • judge's. platform. By. studying" the walls, the placement of railings -and other fixtures can be -determined. Behindithe now -plastered walls are the 'telltale signs of -huge chimneys for large box stoves. By studying other chambers of the same period, the furniture and furnishings can be determined. . . It is a big job: But itis well worthy - of the attention and support of Huron County today. Our heritage is rich and varied. Today's citizens and tomorrow's generations will be more aware of i.ts importance as the work at this, historic site and other similar ventures throughout the old Huron Tract proceeds.
