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. OPP looking for poster to show hitchhiking dangers The Ontario Provincial Police have launched a province -.wide search and are offering a $200 reward for a ter -in a student contest. anted is a crime prevention poster stressing the dangers involved in hitch -hiking.

Hitch -hiking is legal in non- urban areas of the province, but it can also be lethal, Cpl. Meyer noted.
