First exhtbit
features firarms
For the next 12 weeks, the
general public in Huron
County and school children
in particular, will have
access to soipe veryspecial
exhibits from the Royal
Ontario Museum (ROM) of
Toronto.
"Discovering the ROM" is
a series which will include a
total of six exhibits to be set
up at the. Goderich library
branch for two weeks each
•jpr viewing during regular
:olibrary hours.
The first exhibit, entitled
"Lock, Stock and Barrel",
was set up last Thursday and
will be on display until
October 5.' The subject of this
exhibit is gunsmiths and
firearms from 1850-80. As the
exhibit points out, gunsmiths
and firearms were once
essential to life in 'Canada,
particularly to explorers,
pioneers and the militia.
The second exhibit will be
on the War of 1812 and will
run from October 7 to 19. .
The third exhibit is entitled
"Flourescent Minerals" and
will be on display from
October 21 to November 1.
Set up with assistance from
the ROM's Department of
Mineralogy and Geology, it
focuses on- flourescent
minerals displayed in a
special "black light" en-
vironment.
The fourth exhibit, on
display from November 3 to
15, is entitled "Pipes of the
Iroquois". Among the most
prized possessions of the
Iroquoian -speaking peoples
of southern Ontario were
their smoking pipes. Made of
such durable materials as
clay and stone, these pipes
are the best surviving
evidence of the artistic
vision and technical ac-
complishment of the
Iroquois culture. Drawn
from the collections of the
Department of New World
Archaeology, the exhibit will
feature 22 pipes and pipe
fragments.
The fifth exhibit is one of
the museum's newest and
most popular. Entitled
"Gods of Ancient Egypt", it
will be on display from
November 17-29. It will
feature 16 original bronze
sculptures dating from 500-
600 BC.
The sixth and final exhibit
is entitled "High Stepping"
and will be on display from
December 1-13. Drawn from
the ROM's • Textiles
Department, it will feature
34 shoes and boots tracing
the development of elevated
footwear to the spike heels
and platform boots of
modern times.
Paul -Andre Beauregard,
extension services project
officer with the ROM, says
each exhibit offers a general
introduction to a specific
subject.
"If we can reach children
so that they will come into
the library on their own and'
research the subjects fur-
ther, we will have suc-
ceeded," he says when ex-
plaining the- purpose of the
exhibits.
Another purpose, says
Beauregard, is to get some of
the ROM's exhibits to those
people in smaller com-
munities who may not get a
chance to view them in
Toronto. A5 well as the
Huron County library
system; the current exhibits
are being rotated to libraries
in Stratford, Guelph, Kit-
chener and Cambridge.
All of the schools in Huron
County will be receiving an
equal opportunity to view the
exhibits along with a slide
show presented by
Beauregard on Thursdays.
His presentation is geared to
Grade 6 level.

Paul -Andre Beauregard, extension services project officer with the Royal Ontario Museum,
was at the Goderich library last Thursday to explain a series of ROM exhibits which will be
set up at the library over the next 12 weeks. Here, he looks over the first exhibit on gun-
smiths and firearms entitled "Lock, Stock and Barrel". (Photo by Joanne Buchanan)
Beauregard is presently
putting together an exhibit
on the "Fur Trade in
Canada" which will cir-
culate nationally. In honor off
Ontario's Bicentennial, the
ROM is also developing a
national exhibit on "Family
is free with the entire project Heirlooms" which will begin
being funded by grants froth circulating next spring.

Canada and Outreach this exhibit, it will be shown
Ontario. only in larger centres.
OPP increasing seat
belt law enforcement
In a directive sent to every
OPP detachment, OPP Com-
missioner James Erskine
pointed out that the proper
use of seat belts has a direct
relationship to the
seriousness of injuries
received in accidents. He
told OPP officers that en-
forcement of the laws
demanding occupants of a
vehicle wear seat belts has
great potential for reducing
deaths and injuries in traffic
accidents.
Under Ontario legislation,
the driver of a motor vehicle
and any passengers 16 years
and over may be charged if
they do not use a proper seat
belt assembly. The driver is
also responsible for making
sure that anyone in the vehi-
cle above the age of two and
under 16 years wears the
proper restraining devices.
Studies conducted in On-
tario have found that the
number of people wearing
seat belts has declined
drastically. After their use
was made mandatory in
1976, the usage rate was 76
per cent. More recent
studies by Transport Canada
have shown that the present
rate is about 49 per cent, a
reduction of 27 percentage
points.
"There are two ways of
getting more people to wear
seat belts," said Commis-
sioner Erskine, "they are en-
forcement and education.
The OPP officers on traffic
patrol will be increasingly
vigilant in laying charges for
these infractions.
"The education side of the
issue will be addressed by
OPP Community Services
Officers. The officers will
emphasize the use of seat
belts whenever they talk to
community and' school
groups through the pro-
vince."
Hullett waterfowl habitat
area exaanded for 1983
The portion of the 2,198
hectare Hullett Wildlife
Management Area ( WMA)
designated exclusively for
waterfowl and other
migratory game bird hun-
ting has been increased for
the 1983 season, Naturdl
Resources Minister Alan
Pope said recently. -
• The minister added that
the whole habitat improve-
ment project at Hullett is ex-
pected to be completed a
year ahead of schedule.
Once, the $1.5 -million pro-
ject is completed at the end
of 1984, the WMA will include
779 hectares of prime water-
fowl habitat in an area which
previously had no major
staging areas for migratory
waterfowl.
The success of the Hullett
WMA project, Pope said, is
due to the combined efforts
of Ducks Unlimited and his
ministry.
The project is already
reporting positive results,
Pope noted. "Several new
species of ducks are taking
advantage of the flooded
areas and more ducks can be
expected in the near future."
The Hullett project is one
of the largest of its kind in
Ontario. To date, a total of 25
kilometres of dikes have
been erected parallel to the
South Maitland River. Ducks
Unlimited has spent $1.2
million so far on dike con-
struction and maintenance
and to date has developed
over 243 hectares of water-
fowl habitat.
The current regulations
divide Hullett into two hun-
ting zones.
Zone A is for waterfowl
and other migratory game
bird hunting only, and
hunters must shoot from
designated locations. One-
third of this zone is a sanc-
tuary area for the birds. This
year, 166 hectares of addi-
tional waterfowl habitat was
created including 121 hec-
tares of hunting area, and 45
hectares of sanctuary.
In Zone B a combination of
upland game, including
pheasant, grouse and rab-
bits, and waterfowl hunting
is permitted.
As the marsh area is in-
creased, Pope said, Zone A
will increase in size and Zone
B will be reduced. The
Overall effect will be to pro-
vide more breeding and
staging areas for waterfowl,
and more hunting oppor-
tunities for sportsmen.
This project is the result of
an agreement signed in 1979
Heliport gets 'licence
between Ducks Unlimited
and the Ministry of Natural
Resources which called for
Ducks Unlimited to fund con-
struction and maintenance
jor the development of
marsh habitat on the
ministry's wildlife manag-
ment area at Hullett.
"The work of Ducks
Unlimited and my ministry
in places like Hullett is felt,
not just locally, but all along
the natural migratory route
of our wild waterfowl ' —
throughout Canada, the
United States and Mexico,"
Pope said.
Ducks Unlimited, a
private agency funded by
Canadian and U.S. sport-
smen, funds waterfowl
management projects
across Canada. Between
1974 and 1982, it spent $7 -
million in Ontario on 119
wetland conservation pro-
jects involving 8,560 hec-
tares of land, more than half
of that Crown -owned.
I.ISTOWEL - A 24-hour
heliport service is finally
available to patients of
Louise Marshall Hospital in
Mount Forest. The heliport
itself was completed in the
spring but due to a Ministry
of Health regulation
requiring a warning light to
be placed on the com-
munication tower on the roof
of the hospital and delays in
having the light installed, the
service did not receive
ministry annroval until Sent.
20.
Hospital Administrator
Stanley Middleton expects
that making the heliport a 24-
hour facility will greatly
increase the number of
emergency airlifts per-
formed each year.
"Once we're on 24 -hours it
might be used 30 or 40 times
a year," he said.
Mr. Middleton estimated
that 12 or 14 air lifts have
been made in the last 12
months.
