(Shelley McPhee photo) Genealogists study the past The Huron County Branch of the Genealogical Society has had an active ,and productive sununer..At• the September 2nd, meeting, it was reported that the membership had mushroomed during little over a year to 192! Most of these,menabers live outside. Huron County, one as far away as Hawaii - proving that many people the World over `have roots in. Huron County and are interested in its history and background. The librarian was able to report that we had had many family history booklets and some church and town histories donated since our inception, and these are all most welcome. .It was decided that we would make every effort to obtain such printed histories so that they can be used as reference materials by people trying to trace their roots here. If anyone knows of any person or organization who has published such a history, please encourage them to send a copy to our archives. We are already handling a number of queries from people who live at quite a distance and want to find out more about a specific area in Huron County. Such references Could be in- valuable to our organization. Since our treasury is quite low we would hope to have these donated, but would consider purchasing them if necessary. , First, and foremost, we have to know about 'the existence of such histories and would ap- preciate it if readers would notify us about new, or old, histories; (482-7167 or 524- 90n). The guest speaker at the July meeting was Doh Read, a member from the Ottawa area He brought along a copy of his newly published family history book, Our Family History 1600-1980, andexplained the format and background of the ex- cellent xcellent work. Members were most interested in his comments on the costs of publishing such a booklet, and the advantages of, using an ISBN number and copywrite protection. An evening workshop was held July 22nd at the Huron County Library in Goderich.' Bill Partridge, county librarian, gave an outline of the genealogical and historical materials available at their offices and also the variety of microfihn resources available by or- der.

A team of five students, working under a Summer Works' grant, is nearing completion of a survey it has made of public buildings and private businesses. In the remaining three weeks of' summer, the students will assemble the facts and -figures they have collected to produce a guide which the handicapped can use. "Like a phone book," says project manager Stewart Huyck. The survey covers ap- proximately 1,400 building in towns, villages and hamlets in Huron. Focusing on the features of buildings im- portant to a mobility - impaired person, the survey supplies information about door. widths,.'aisle mobility, parking, steps, curbs, and washroom facilities. After a building was surveyed,. a description of its facilities was sent to the manager. Mr. Huyck said 'de prepared for the Handicapped about 10 per cent of all managers phoned about corrections. The Huron Day Centre for the Homebound, in con- nection with the Action League for Physically Handicapped Adults in Huron (ALPHA -HURON) will distribute the guides to handicapped residents in the county. Mr. Huyck estimated there are 350 handicapped residents in Huron. One thousand copies will be printed, and 50 copies will go. to the March of Dimes. The remainder of the guides will be placed in libraries in Huron County, across Canada and the United States. Mr. Huyck says a library in Montreal has requested a copy. The copies in distant places will be for the benefit of han- dicapped people planning a visit to this area. Copies will also be available at the Canadian border, and in- formation centres. The cost for producing the guides is not covered by the grant, so Mr. Huyck hopes the production cost of $3,000 can be covered by ap- proaching towns in the county and asking them to help foot the bill. Service clubs may also be ap- proached. All donations to the guide will be mentioned in it, and will be payable to the Huron Day Centre since it is a registered charitable organization. Donations will be tax deductable. Mr. Huyck has found organizations and businesses generally helpful, but sometimes defensive. "Many think we're con- demning their building but we're not. We're trying to help." He said any business which wants information on making a building more accessible could contact The Redd i -Chef in Seaforth is converting for easier accessibility for the han- dicaUttPti Tt rnnsnite.1 Mr Huyck on obtaining grab - bars for its washrooms. Project workers are Mary Jane Scott, Brucefield; Mary Peck id, Clinton; Sherry Robinson, Bluevale; and Lydia Schuurman, Clinton. For any information concerning this project, call 482-3451 ext. 259.
