The White Carnation, the former Holmesville Cheese and Butter Factory, began operations in 1895. It operated as a farmers' cooperative and was sold in 1946 to the Carnation Company Ltd. The cheesemaking business was phased out and the factory became a milk collection depot for bulk milk in Aylmer where evaporated milk was processed. The receiv- ing plant operated until 1972. At that point the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, in an ef- fort to streamline operations, closed smaller plants. Holmesville, Fordwich and St. Marys' plants were effected. The building was sold to Bob Norman and Bruce Rathwell. The owners intended to turn the building into an auction house, but plans were altered, renovations begun and the old cheese and milk factory was transformed into a unique dining and dance hall. In 1977 the present owners, David and Sandra Orr, purchased the White Carnation. It continues to operate as a popular dining and private party facility, catering to wed- ding receptions and large functions. With designation as a Heritage Building, the White Carnation will be protected from any renovations or alterations that could change the historical structure. With a heritage designation, all renovations must be approved by the Ontario Heritage foun- dation. The owners may be eligible for government grants to carry out renovation work. In other business at their November 4 meeting, Goderich Township Council studied a request from Ray Desjardins, ask- ing permission to erect a house and barn on part Lot 31, Concession 3, a parcel of 18 acres. Council instructed Clerk Robin Thompson to obtain information from the Huron Coun- ty Planning Department regarding the status of the land and the legality of raising dogs as a farming operation. Several protests were received regarding the work being done on Lot 10, Concession 1 by L. Crich. Protests centered on the road building procedures and the ponding of water on Youngblut's property. The clerk was asked to contact Mr. Crich and obtain his schedule for the road building which had been approved at previous .council meetings. The tender price of $975, submitted by Gaetan Jacques, was accpeted by council for the sale of wood from one acre of proper- ty in the township gravel pit. Five tenders were submitted to council. Others were: Del Cook, $600; Don Lockwood, $500; Doyle Cullen, $425; Gary Preszcator, $400.
