MAY 7 , 1981 Homem The Town and Country Homemakers are hoping desperately for donations to help them purchase the Vic- toria Street building in Wingham in which they have their offices. Otherwise, the group faces a move to a new location early this summer. Bev Brown the new board chairman of the homemakers' organization, said the group has until early June to' raise the $10,000 needed for a down payment. The owner of the house the group has been renting since December has received an offer on the property, she ex- plained. The Homemakers have been gi'en first option to purchase it, provided they can raise the required funds. Ironically, the group. had just decided during a board meeting last week to set up -a° building fund aimed at even- tual purchase of the proper- ty, she noted, but it hasn't yet had time to accumulate any capital. She said the current loca- tion is a "nice, private, quiet office" and has a lot of ad - •vantages. There had been suggestions the group could move from Wingham to the new county health building going up at Huronview, Clin- ton, but that would be in- convenient. and also the group wants to retain its in- dependence, Miss Brown said. She added that as a result ers need y of their service the Homemakers have made a lot of friends throughout the county, "and feel if they knew our predicament they would try to help." She said the group needs some kind of a commitment by its next board meeting, May 24; otherwise it will have to start looking for an alternative location. The Town and Country lant21et1)nirerc i'; 'i nrh'Rte a.r non-protit organization which provides a variety of homemaking services to per- sons who need them. Last year it employed 80 homemakers who served nearly 1,500 clients in Huron County. Donations are being solicited from Huron County businesses and residents to help with the purchase. Because the services of Tniivn .1,, } country el Homemakers are available to every resident of the coun- ty, the Board hopes to receive donations from private citizens as well as businesses. Each donor will receive a tax deductible receipt.

Their pilot project was Westfield Cemetery, a small, now -abandoned burying ground in East Wawanosh Twp., and blessed with sunny weather, they :were able to complete the physical transcribing on the tomb- stone information that day. However, here the job begins rather than ends, cemetery coordinator, Alison Lobb, noted. "Now We have a map of the graveyard with the in- dividual tombstones marked on it and numbered, and we have all the information from the stones copied down. Next we must try our best to locate burial records and cross check our infomation with these. It is quite obvious that there were »anyolder graves now without markers in this cemetery, and our earliest burial records start in 1900," she said. "Once our report is ready - complete with maps, tom- bstone data, and an alphabetical index - we will send copies to the local township council and to the provincial and federal ar- chives for the use of researchers who may live at some distance from Huron County yet who wish to trace their relatives here," Mrs. Lobb sa id. "We would also like to have a history of the cemetery to include with this Members of the Zeta Omega chapter from Clinton of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority were presented with the ritual of the jewels at.a founders' day celebration held last week in Mitchell.
