J. Herbert Neill founded the museum in 1950 and ran it until he was forced to retire due to ill health in his 79th year. Most of the items in the museum belong to the people of Goderich and most of these people strongly object to the moving of the museum. Heather Larsen and Angie Good interviewed Mrs. Eileen Palmer and asked her some questions: Q: Why are they moving the Huron County Museum to Vanastra? A: They seem to feel the Wilding is structurally unsound. Q: Why do they want to move the museum? A: They need more space and the building has no sprinkler system. Q: What could the total cost be of repairs, the new building and the price of land? A: It would cost about $75,000 for buying the building and about one to one and a half million dollars for repairs and renovations. Q: What alternatives are there to the move? A: The alternatives are to: 1. repair, renovate and bring up to standards the existing museum or 2. to build another museum in Goderich. Q: What do people with objects in the museum feel about a move to Vanastra? A: A lot of the people object strenuously. Choir There has been a great turn -out for the senior choir. Hopes are high for a Spring Concert. Our new songs are sounding better all the time! - -Craig Smith. The primary choir for Grade 1, 2 and 3 started Wednesday, October 6. There was a great turn -out and they will be singing throughout the yearon different occasions to en- tertain students and parents. School purchases computer By Heidi Fillmore and Angela Millian The school, has had the privilege of purchasing a Pet Commodore computer that will be used for drills and instructional games by different classes. Grade eight went on an ex- pedition to the Maitland Block in Hulled Township to collect pine cones and to the Pinery near the school. They collected five burlap bags full of cones. The class also learned to identify con- iferous and deciduous trees. On Tuesday October 5, Mr. Jewitt and Mrs. Bere held an Brookside Broadcast orientation meeting with volunteers in the staff room. They talked about school procedures and volunteer preferences. They received a tour of the school. We thank all the volunteers for coming to our program. Mrs. Debbie Heslinga, the co-ordinator for enrichment in Huron County, met with the teachers in the library on Tuesday. She. showed a film strip and explained what is being done to develop an enrichment program in Huron County. Mrs. Worsell's grade 3 and Mrs. Bere went to the Clin- ton Conservation Area on Tuesday. They took the Fitness Trail and collected leaves, nuts, etc. On Thursday, October 7, the annual Soccer Tourna- ment was held in Goderich. Brookside Public School" brought home two pennants in the senior boys and junior girls categories. On Friday, October 8 Mrs. Cameron's Grade 2 had a vegetable dinner topped off with pumpkin tarts. Mrs. Carroll's class made pumpkin cookies on Friday. The children learned to read the recipe and all had a hand in the making. Mrs. Young's Grade 1. made apple place mats and apple people. On Wednesday, October 13 the school held an Open - House for parents to view their children's work. It was also an opportunity to meet the teacher .of the class your child attends. Mr. Jewitt showed slides of his trip to Germany this summer. The presentation showed dif- ferences between Canadian and German school systems. The open house was well at- tended. Huron farm and home news -Life expectancy of tile drains There are a lot of opinions on how long drainage systems should last. In On- tario we don't really have too many facts about the useful life span of tile drains. Unlike most investments, tile drains can't be monitored or looked at very easily. You can find a break or washout, but you really can't measure general tile performance very well. There have been several studies in the United States. Estimates on drain life ex- pectancy range from 10 to 100 years. Work done in Ohio by Dr. Warren estimated drain life at 10 to 15 years, but found that some systems failed in as few as five years. The drains that failed in Dr. Warren's study were generally in unstable soil conditions that caused shifts in grade or alignment; col- lapsed tubing; pulled joints and plugged outlets, pipes and manholes. In 1978 there was a study of 95 tile mains in Williams County, Ohio. The tiles rang- ed in age from 1 to 76 years. Of the 95 systems, 12 needed repair and six needed replacement. The other 77 systems were working satisfactorily. A study of drain maintenance showed that 25 percent of tiles less than 10 years old had been repaired. Of tiles 11 to 20 years old 66 petcent had been "repaired. All tiles over 40 years old had • either been repaired or need- ed maintenance. Trends in drainage in Ohio Random systems are be- ing replaced by evenly spac- ed systems - usually plastic. In most cases the random systems were still working when they were replaced. _ The random tiles were generally felt to be too far apart and too shallow. Random systems are still being installed to drain seepage areas and solve "wet spot" problem in fields with several soil types. They're much the same as us in the fact that few farmers have drainage maps. Service is often com- plicated by difficulty in fin- ding headers and mains or knowing what size of tiles are in various.locations. Some contractors are pro- viding aerial photographs of drainage systems. Pictures are more likely to be saved than maps. The fact that a quarter of the relatively new (one to 10 years old) tile drainage systems examined needed repair came as a surprise. If the same thing 'is true in On- tario, I'm sure that a lot of farmers are not getting a good return on their tile drainage investment. Tile drain service Drain inspection needs to become a more routine chore. Most problems occur at junctions or abrupt changes in grade. Outlets are another problem area. A drainage map makes for quick inspection of possible problem areas. New service for • tile drains • Hugo Bontrup from R.R.1 Brunner is starting a new service for farmers. Hugo, on a recent trip to Europe, saw a machine used for cleaning drainage tiles. He will be custom cleaning and servicing drainage tiles as well as marketing the machine to other people. Demonstrations will be available. - Copied .from. Perth. County Farm News - Art Lawson • Sam Bradshaw, Engineering Assist.

Ontario Farm Assistance Program Have you applied or en- quired about the Ontario Farm Adjustment Assistance Program (O.F.A.A.P. )? This program provides an interest reduction grant on floating rate bank loans of up to five percentage points. If you have a $100,000 authoriz- ed line of credit at the bank at 17 percent interest, your interest reduction for the coming 12 months could be $5,000. Instead of paying $17,000 in interest you would actually pay only $12,000. That's reducing your bank interest cost by 29.4 percent! (5/17x100 equals 29.4 per- cent). The interest reduction grant can reduce interest rate by a maximum of five __percentage -points-dow•n-to-12-- percent. (At the moment, in- terest rates are on the way down! ) T'woIStired and siafty. -Huron County farmers have already made use of this pro- gram. Others planning to ap- ply should do so right away, because the applications have to be processed before the end of the year. Application forms are available at the bank. When completed, the application is reviewed jointly by your banker and a member of the local Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food farm management staff. - Don Pullen, Ag. Rep.
