(T -A photo) the Hullett helps ducks by creating marsh. areas LONDESBORO Dore Shobbrook, editor leade r J Ducks, muskrats and other marsh living wildlife will be able to thank a lot of people, including Hullett Township, for creating a natural home for them. At a special meeting held on September 15th by Hullett Township council, a bylaw allowing the closure of sideroads in the township for use by the Ducks Unlimited wildlife sanctuary was passed: Some of these roadways will be dyked and turned into a wetland area for the Hullett Wildlife Area. Concession 4 . and 5 from lot 7 to 20 in- clusive, and Sideroads 10 to 11 and 15 to 16 from concession 3 to. concession 6 will be affected by the closure. Council passed the bylaw after a third reading. The work being done is part of a three phase plan that will see 1,714 acres of land developed in the next three years in Hullett. Township in cooperation with the ministry of natural resources and Ducks Unlimited, a non-profit group. George Radford Construction Ltd., of Blyth is one of the firms involved with the construction of dykes for the flooding of marsh- areas. The smallest area to be flooded is 59 acres, and the biggest will cover a 550 acre parcel of land. This will create a natural wetland habitat for ducks, muskrat and other wildlife associated with marsh areas. Art Carr and Jim Hammil from the Ministry of Natural Resources, along with Art Gaston from the Government Services Ministry were present at the meeting to discuss the road closures with council members. Drain work continues At their regular September 21st meeting, council agreed to call tenders on the Murray -Lamb Drainage Works repair and extension work project. The rip rap in Middegaal's portion of the drain will be completed this year. A motion was passed giving an extra year's extension to the Seraphim Sub- division. The additional time allowance was.requested by Mr. Nick Seraphim. Hullett Council has supported a resolution from Minto Township, which demands that the provincial and federal governments take corrective and defen- sive action to combat the increasing high numbers of bankruptcies on small, farms and businesses. At their September 5th meeting, council approved building permits for Hugh Flynn, barn; Doeke Buffinga, silo; Ralph Datema, barn and C. Finch, porch.

Hospital gets TV medicine WINGHAM-- The Wingham and District Hospital hopes to be one of the number of Ontario hospitals to adapt closed-ciruit television to health care. The proposed new system given the name of Interactive Telehealth, would connect major teaching hospitals in the province to smaller, peripheral hcspitals by a microwave television hookup. Its major use would be in providing continuing education 'for doctors and nurses, bringing them into contact with the larger centres. As a result the Wingham hospital could improve its own abilities and the quality of medical care As well the system will offer consultation with specialists without having to transfer a patient long distances. The cost for the Wingham hospital is estimated at $15,000 for the television equipment, a similar'amount for the microwave hookup and annual maintenance costs of $2,000 to $3,000. 6 Mrs. Brown is a patient in hospital. There, she suffered a stroke this summer, but is improving. Her old friends in Constance and area wish her best wishes and a speedy recovery.

The students are studying Archaeology and Native Tribes and found this to be an exciting trip. orkshop for the past Attendance was up this year at the annual Huron County Genealogical Society workshop 'in' Goderich on Saturday, September 19th. An addition to the format was the presence of display tables of information data brought by the members for others to look at. There were bulletins from a variety of other family history societies, Irish parish maps, historical books, and family trees. This section was most enthusiastically received, and many members found items of particular interest to their research! Many members had also supplied pedigree charts to be displayed on the wall, and much time was spent looking these over for possible con- necting family interests. Dr. W. Harold Minshall, a past president of O.G.S. and familiar to many, spoke first on beginning in genealogy. He emphasized the need to start NOW by recording in- formation that relatives can give you, and suggested that it is more interesting if we find out background material along with the basic names and dates. Organizing your material well is essential, and he gave us a number of suggestions, although he concluded by noting that each person should be creative and develop his own system. After a delicious lunch served by our own members, Alison Lobb presented a report comparing the various methods and costs of publishing your family history material. Her em- phasis was on the need to ac- tually put your research 'material into print so that it is made more available to others in your family - and also to other researchers. Db not wait till you can prepare the complete and perfect copy. That time never com- es! There are inexpensive ways of publishing. Ed Phelps, the third speaker, was well known to most of us, at least by reputation, for he has done extensive work incollecting and preserving historical data of southwestern Ontario in the D.B. Weldon collection at the University of Western Ontario. He explained that :here is a proportionately larger wealth of material on Huron County than many of the others since it was settl- ed largely through one organization, the Canada Company, and since it ' was settled relatively late. He proceeded to enumerate the various records we could make use of and where we could locate these - a varied and extensive list! He con- cluded by suggesting that it would be of immeasurable value to present and future researchers if 'one central Huron County Archives were, built to act as a repository for many of the original documents . and preserve them safely.' This suggestion was enthusiastically receiv- ed by the genealogical socie- ty as they had already discussed such a project. The day was an un- qualified success and seem- ed to generate additional in - Turn to page 12 • Jim Pearson all of New Hamburg, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Newby, Brussels, Mr. and Mrs. Steven Newby and children Jason and Melissa of Cambridge, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Menary, An- drea, Glen, Kimberly and David of Newmarket.
