STRATFORD 10' DISCOUNT ON... ueen For the Day honored by club Madeline Burchill was honored as Queen For the Day at the Goderich and District After Five Club on May 27. Madeline had brought the highest number of guests over a few months time period and, for her efforts received many gifts including a dozen roses, cologne, chocolates, a facial, a cookbook, the Stonecroft pin and several gift certificates. Barb Hodgins sang two songs that she had written. Holly Cawfield of Brampton,was the speaker and her humor and charm was well received by the audience. She stated that in her early years she was naive enough to think that because she born in Canada she was naturally a Christian. Later, one summer Holly made herself a promise that she would do two things: 1. Find out if there is a God and 2. To get herself a boyfriend. That summer she met a young man who was in chiropractor college and he was a Christian. That summer she also met her future hus- band and he explained to her many things about Christianity and that a Christian is so- meone that has a personal walk with God and has asked forgiveness for their sins. Holly became a Christian and said that people said to her at that time, "Oh! She'll grow out of it." It has been a number of years since Holly made that committment and she said, "I've learned you grow in it." The After Five Club will meet June 24th at Saltford. o All appointments booked from now to June 14, 1986 Including advance bookings for July & August.

"We wanted to see where people were coming from and to see if we were spen- ding money on advertising in the right place. The biggest surprise was that peo- ple are hearing about the jail through word of mouth," he says. While . the greatIA number of people (294) visited the ,jfrom Southern On- tario and the Golden Horseshoe, 113 people were from the United States and 22 were from other countries such as Yorkshire, - England. While 159 people found out about the jail through word of mouth, 113 ' others just decided to stop as they were driving by and 86 learned about the jail through area advertising. "This is valuable information since advertising gets more expensive every year," says Erb. • • Those surveyed said the most in- teresting aspect of the jail is the Gover- nor's House while the jail cells were next in line. "Many people had never seen an actual jail cell and the. impression left is quite strong (small, dark, uncomfortable). Others alluded to the long passageway leading into the jail and the sense of doom and confinement the whole place evoked. Some thought the house helped brighten these feelings so they left on a positive note," says the survey results written by Sylvia Bate. The curator says that hard -to -read signs mentioned in the survey will be replaced. And, though the survey suggests that 4 1 more guides should be posted, Erb says because summer students programs are tightening up, he will probably be receiv- rg less rather than more help this summer. Nine students were employed at the jail last year but Erb expects to receive fun- ding for only five or six this year. "I've only heard back from one program and we were turned down. It's never been easy to get funding from SEED (Student Employment Experience Development, a federal program) but we've never been turned down before," he says. He says he's still waiting to hear from four other provincial programs including Experience '86 and Ontario Youth Employment. "We've got three on staff right now and we hope to get a few more but we're still going to be open," he says.
