HURON I-IISTORIC JAIL
Refurbishing a house with the correct 'period' fur-
niture is a difficult_ choke. It is both time-consuming and
expensive. •
The refurnishing at the Historic Gaol is proceeding
very quickly, however. Four rooms have been completed
and the kitchen of the Governor's House is well under
way. One of the upstairs bedrooms has receive i the
stripper and lye treatment to take all the woodwork back
to its original condition; the furniture is ready to go in,
but, a work party tp apply the wall covering has to come
first.
The Board has received furniture from four main
sources. Interested citizens throughout the County (and
at least one American tourist) have donated pieces•which
are suitable for the turn -of -the -century atmosphere being
re-created.
Others have made furniture available on loan. Our first
major lender was Mary ,B. Howell, who helped get the'
refurbishing project off the ground just prior to the 1974
opening of the historic site.
A third source has been through the Provincial
Government Museums' Branch. That connection has not
only given us leads on hard to find furnishings, but also
'established the necessary ties ` vi0 other historic site
boards throughout the Province.
The Toronto Historic Sites Board, for example, has
provided, on long-term loan, a massive roll top desk from
the late 1$00's for use in the Governor's office in the gaol
proper. It was originally located in Montgomery's Inn,
Toronto, but, was especially suited for use at the Huron
'Gaol.
The final source, of 'course, has been to purchase items
,as needed. Dorothy Wallace, chairman of the Refur-
bishing Committee, follows up all the ,,leads. It not only
takes her to dingy basements- and back sheds, but also
'putsher in direct competition with professional bidders
at area auction sales. Her efforts have contributed in a
major way towards the successful refurbishing program.
As with the other work at this federal historic -site,
there is still a long way to go. The Board has undertaken
a°major fund raising campaign. To succeed it requires
the support of many Huron County citizens. Funds, are
coming in, .but very slowly. ,
If you want to -make a commitment -to this project inT
Huron County heritage, your tax deductible donation can
be mailed to the "Huron Historic Gaol Fund", Ed Od-
dleifson, Bayfield.

Hitch -hiking is legal in non-
urban areas of the province,
but it can also be lethal, Cpl.
Meyer noted. The increased
number of assaults on both
hitch -hikers and drivers is
evidence that young' persons

dangers of•.hiteh-hiking and of
the precautions . to take if
hitch -hiking is necessary, he
added.
