Librarian Yvonne Porter
advised that a
"Genealogical En-
cyclopedia" had been pur-
chased for the library and
the family tree "From
McGinnis to McInnes" had
been donated by Annie McIn-
nes.
Queries were read from
persons searching for:
Johnston; Ebach (Ibach);
Fraser/Gordon; Mar,-
tin/Bowles; Cunnard; Gar-
diner/Callighan; Allen/Ir-
vine; and Litte. Anyone hav-
ing information on any of
these families was asked to
contact Nancy Kale at 345-
2908. Nancy noted that
several searches had been
quite fruitful and of great
assistance to those re-
questing this assistance.
Fund Raising Co-ordinator
Carole Robinson, who is
resigning at the end of
September, again requested
that a volunteer be found to
act in this position. Anyone
interested, should phone
Alison Lobb at 482-7167.
The following positions
have been filled by
volunteers: Zehr's tapes -
Roberta Linskill of
Goderich; mystery prize -
Grace Johnston, Goderich;

Elaine McKinnon reported
on the progress of the 1871
census recording. She noted
that she still needs someone
to record the names of head
of household from this cen-
sus for Stanley and Usborne
townships. These will then
be indexed for the entire pro-
vince and available for use
by researchers. Anyone with
a bit of time to spare who
would like to assist Elaine,
may drop her a line at Ford-
wich, Ont. NOG 1BO.
Chairman Alison Lobb
noted that we had not had a
member speaking on their
own family tree for quite
some time and anyone in-
terested should contact her.

Typing credit for summer
school recommended
BY
STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
The computer age is affec-
ting the education market,
including summer school.
Huron County Board of
Education's summer school
principal Robert Parr,
reporting at the board's
September 6 session, recom-
mended a half credit for typ-
ing be offered at summer
schools in the future. The
matter will be considered by
the board.
P_arnsaidthe keyboards of
the computers are similar to
typewriter keyboards and
mastering the typewriter is
essential for today's com-
puter programs. He in-
dicated a student who has
knowledge of a typewriter
keyboard can put a program
in the computer in about a
minute while it takes about
20 minutes for the salve task
by a student who is not
familiar with a typewriter.
A math teacher at Central
Huron Secondary School in
Clinton, Parr said a decision
to carry a half credit in typ-
ing has to be made prior to
students filling out option
sheets in the spring.
Summer school is now a
remedial school which has
"no ability to offs new
credits" said Parr.
Emphasizing his point, the
CHSS teacher said 120
credits were "saved" at the
1983 summer school.
"Sixteen students are
eligible to receive their
secondary school diploma
now," added Parr, noting
these students wouldn't have
been able to receive their
diploma without summer
school. However, no student
may take a course they
haven't taken previously.
Statistically, the 1983 sum-
mer school at CHSS did well,
said Parr. There were seven
elementary classes with 84
students, 10 secondary
classes with 144 students and
one English as a second
language class.
Acknowledging past
criticism that summer
school credits are easy, Parr
said the 1983 summer school
had an eight per cent failure
rate.
"Credits were honestly
earned," said Parr.
Festival season announced
On Saturday, September 3,
senior company member
John Neville, on behalf of Ar-
tistic Director John Hirsch,
announced planning to date
for' the Stratford Festival's
1984 season. Simultaneously,
Neville's feat of adventurous
enterprise marked the fall
season's launch by taking
the inaugural flight in a
"seven storey" hot-air
balloon tethered on the
Festival grounds.
In his remarks, Neville
outlined program planning
for the new season as
follows: Five productions
will appear on the Festival
stage in contrast to the four
main stage offerings this
season. Two shows will be
revivals of current suc-
cesses: Love's Labour's Lost
from the Third Stage and one
other production from the
later season openings.
Production Director Cecil
O'Neal noted, "The Festival
Is pleased to revive produc-
tions of proven audience ap-
peal, but the policy of
revivals is also appropriate
given the demands on pro-
duction facilities - which will
be under renovation during
the winter and spring of 1984
at both the Festival and
Avon stages."
A Midsummer Night's
Dream and two other new
productions will complete
the main stage repertoire.
A new production of Iolan-
the will join the Mikado and
Gondoliers in revival to
create an exuberant lyric
theatre celebration. This will
be the final year the Festival
undertakes,the production of
Gilbert and Sullivan
musicals. All three of these
productions will again be
directed and choreographed
by Brian Macdonald, design-
ed by Susan Benson and
Douglas McLean, with
musical direction by Ber-
thold Carriere and lighting
design by Michael Whitfield.
It is anticipated that a
dramatic offering will com-
plete the fare at the Avon.
Neville took special pleasure
in announcing the continuing
commitment of the
Festival's Board of Gover-
nors to the Young Company
at The Third Stage, which
will again present two pro-
ductions.
Hirsch's unavoidable
absence from the Festival
was related to the comple-
tion of this planning process.
"I very much miss being
here to share in all the ex-
citement", commented
Hirsch, "and I especially
regret missing John Neville
carrying off all the
ceremonies with his distinc-
tive wit and aplomb. He has
my thanks."
The concluding planning
for 1 Ia. will be announced at
the end of September.
Huron County". With such
Interesting speakers and
such a variety of topics, it is
hoped. that this workshop
will be even more successful
than m previous years.
The mystery prize for the
evening, two silver toned
leaf dishes, were won by
Yvonne Porter of Goderich.
Karen Harman of Bayfield
was the speaker for the even-
ing and her presentation
focused on pedigree charts.
Karen Noted that when she
had called the library re-
questing books dealing with
pedigrees, they had referred
her to the local veterinary
clinic as! they would have the
best information on
purebred animals! Karen
advised that although we
still refer to these charts as
pedigrees, they are now
commonly called ancestral,
or ancestry charts. These
charts give an overall view
of your direct family line and
are used in conjunction with
family group sheets which
give a compact summary
and details of each family
group.
A few important points to
follow when beginning your
chart are: 1) use pencil as
this can be erased easily if
corrections are required; 2)
use each person's full
original name - for women
this is their maiden name; 3)
give day, month and year for
all dates as much as possi-
ble, using the name of the
month rather than numerals
and not reducing the year to
the last two digits as this can
lead to confusion in future
centuries - was '83 meant for
1883 or 1983?
On an ancestry chart you
begin with yourself and work
backwards through your
parents, their parents, etc.
Fathers are always noted
first, with mothers second.
The numbers for males are
always even (except number
1 which is yourself,
regardless of sex) and
females are odd numbers.
There are many forms of
ancestry charts - some are
arranged into trees or fans
and are very decorative. The
easiest to read are the or-
dinary line chart type and
these can be extended in-
definitely without any trou-
ble.
For many years, family
histories were more or less
limited to those from
wealthy backgrounds. Today
this has changed.
Reconstructing the family
tree has become the
favourite leisure activity of
