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.

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

Homemakers are available
to every resident of the coun-

private citizens as well as
businesses.
Each donor will receive a

estfield Cemetery studied
The Huron County branch
of the Ontario Genealogical
Society began the mammoth
task of transcribing the 101
known cemeteries in Huron
County last Saturday, May
2nd. 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

Saturday morning. Rain
date will be the following
