Inn to get renovations
MITCHELL - The Perth
County Council and the
City of Stratford have
agreed to go ahead with
renovations to the
Fryfogel Inn and to
purchase the Thompson
Museum.
The decision came
after months of dispute,
started last June when
Stratford council reneged
Fight housing
WINGHAM - The 56
member Business
Association in Wingham
is throwing its support
behind several members
who are fighting a
proposal to build apart-
ments in a section of
Cruikshank Park.
The group is not op-
posed to the seniors'
housing project, but are
against the proposed
location for the
development.
The only argument in
favor of the park site,
according to the Business
Association, is that it is
close to the downtown
area. However, they
foresee a lot of problems,
such as parking and,
complaints about noise
from normal business
operations in the area.
Main opposers, Fred
McGhee and Bobi
Crawford, feel that the
proposed site should
remain as park land or be
reserved for future
commerical development
rather than be rezoned
residential when .::other
suitable land is available
for the housing project.
The Business
Association plans to send
a letter to the Ontario
Municipal Board, stating
their objections and Mr.
McGhee and Mr.
Crawford are in the
process of getting legal
advice.
Arena rates
increased
ZURICH -Users of the ice
at the Zurich arena will
be charged about eight
per cent more for the
upcoming season.
The village . recreation
board agreed to raise the
rental rate for minor
hockey and figure skating
from $22 to $24 per hour.
Other groups renting the.
ice will be charged $27
instead of $25.

on an agreement to
restore 'the 135 year old
'inn, saying they didn't
want to be burdened with
another large capital
expense. Meanwhile, the
county council was leary
of buying the museum.
In a recent meeting, it
was decided to cut the inn
renovation costs by
$129,000, `leaving the new
total cost of the project at
$359,770.
In exchange for this,
the city proposed that the
county agree to a joint
venture to buy the
museum. This was ap-
proved and the cost to
both councils will be
$70,000, with the federal
government paying the
rest of the costs.
Inn renovations will
include an addition and
the museum, which
contains 17,000 pieces of
farm equipment and
home implements and is
considered one of the
finest in the world.
Schools
well used
KINCARDINE - Schools
in the Kincardine area
lead a full existence, day

A recent survey con-
ducted by The Kincardine
News has shown that

are completed, most
schools remain active,
often being open five
nights a week free of
charge for the use of a
wide variety.of non-profit
groups.
At the high school in
town, meeting time is
booked four nights a week
for activities from
sewing to photography,
from furniture re-
finishing to bridge.
At the W.E. Thompson
Public School, the
facilities are used for
ham radio clubs, dog
obedience classes and
flying ground school, to
name a few.
All of the other
elementary' and secon-
dary schools in the area

schools contacted by The
News offer free facilities

profit groups and on the
weekends, a charge is.

Fire Prevention Week
goes up in smoke
CLINTON - This year's
Fire Prevention Week,
went up in smoke and
flames in Clinton.
During the designated
week, September 25 to 29,
the Clinton vounteer
firefighters battled four
blazes, one which left a
woman dead and a
second which destroyed
an area farmer's
livelihood.
On October 10, Muriel
Burley, 53 of Goderich
was pronounced dead
after she was pulled from
a blazing house trailer at
a mobile home park in
Clinton.
The first fire death in
Clinton in more than 20
years was blamed on
careless smoking com-
bined with alcohol abuse.
Mrs. Burley died of
carbon monoxide
poisoning and smoke
inhalation, from the
heavy smoke and fumes
that filled the blazing
trailer.
The– owner of th
trailer, Hedley Prouse,
62. escaped from the
flaming structure, and
had to be restrained by
neighbors after he tried
to re-enter the trailer to
save Mrs. Burley.
A total of 325 pigs were
killed when a burning
barn collapsed in a heap
in an October' 14 fire. The
fire, which levelled a
barn Belonging to Terry
Taylor, two miles east of
Clinton on Highway 8,
could be seen 10 miles
away and losses in the
blaze may run as high as
$65,000.
When the Clinton fire
brigade arrived at the
scene, the structure was
engulfed in flames and
only a few pigs managed
to escape. The loss was
only partially covered by
insurance.
During Fire prevention
Week. the Clinton brigade
put out a blaze which left
$10.000 damage to a
garage and its contents.
In another call, a fire got
out of control in a new
van, and it was com-
pletely gutted.
