gratitude of Canadians of Dutch descent in the
Goderich area, for the sacrifices made by the
Canadians in the liberation of Holland. It should
also convey to the younger generations who
have never experienced the horrors of war, that
freedom is precious, something to cling to,
something to fight for.
As a Dutch Canadian, I am proud of the
initiative of the people of Goderich, and I can
only hope this manifestation of gratitude may
live on in the generations yet to come.

Museum- en
BY JASON AINSL.IE
The Huron County
Pioneer Museum has
been open for business
since May 1. For those
who have .never toured
the Museum, there are
four floors holding over
12,000 exhibits depicting
early pioneer life in
Huron County and Upper
Canada.
And for those who, are
familiar with some of the
artifacts, there are two
new reasons to revisit the
Museum.
One new addition to the
list of attractions is a 19th
century candle making
apparatus. This machine,
which is still functional,
has the ability to produce
over ten candles at once.
.In -.-da ys--gone_.by_, the.__
candles were made by
repeatedly dipping a wick
in hot tallow. Tallow is a
lard -like substance ob-
tained by, cooking beef or
sheep fat to a liquid.
Today, parafin wax is
used in the demon-
strations says museum
Curator, Raymond
Scotchm er.
The other new exhibit is
a rope making machine,
