"We have to come up with good viable uses between now and September 1," said Glenn Buck, a leader of the group. At that time they plan to sit down with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) to sift through the proposals and come up with a presentation to the ministry. The ministry, through the On- tario Heritage foundation, would then authorize a study to look at the building, decide whether the Results of hay competition Following are the results of the hay corhpetition in the Field Crop competition, sponsored by the Howick Agricultural Society: Oscar Kieffer 100, Mark Hard- ing 83, Ron Shelley 75, Ron Mc- Michael 73, Russel Ruttan 70, Elmer Harding 68, John Van de Kemp 67, Joe Winkel 67, Holger Feldskov 65, Rick Fines 65, Bart Scherpenzeel 64, Warren Fines 60.

If results of the study are favorable, there is a good chance funding would become available to begin work on the restoration. Most of the study's cost would be borne by the ministry and the MVCA, but the municipality might be responsible for about 20 per cent,of it, Mr. Buck said. This share is tied to the extent to which the community benefits from the proposed uses for the facility, he noted, with the com- munity having to shoulder more if it wants a library or a meeting hall than if it decides in favor of a museum. Suggestions already in include using the mill for a museum, library, meeting hall or centre for outdoor education, Mr. Buck said. His group is looking for additional proposals and •is hoping to excite community interest in the project. The group, which as yet has no name but may become the Gorrie Historical Foundation, got its start following an MVCA-spon- sored meeting on the mill April 21. At that meeting people in- terested in preserving the his- toric structure were invited to form a group to begin work on the project. About 15 or 16 did, and since that date have held several meetings. Mr, Buck feels this is not a true indication of the level of com- munity support for keeping the mill, however. He noted there is resentment against the MVCA, particularly over the matter of the dam which washed out several years ago, and people are reluctant to support projects championed by that organization. With a local group handling the project, he predicted, more people will step forward to help out. He and Peter Keil have been holding discussions with Ian Des- lauriers, resources manager for the MVCA, and have reached an agreement that if the renovations are begun, a steering committee comprising three members of the Gorrie group and two from the MVCA will be charged with over- seeing the restoration and the future uses and maintenance of the mill. Since the heritage foundation will deal only with a govern- mental body, all requests must be channelled via the MVCA, Mr. Buck explained, but the com- mittee would give the community some control over the project. He is hoping people will come forward with ideas .and support, he said, since, "If we don't have enough public particpation we're going to lose the mill, and that's the last thing we want to hap- , pen " At the April meeting, an MVCA spokesman estimated the cost of restoring ` the mill at $40,000- 5150,000. The lower figure was for structural renovations only, while the upper one represented restoration to full operating condition. ✓/ in the Iibrary �-.x*max COLLECTING RARE BOOKS FOR PLEASURE AND PROFIT by Jack Matthews This is the most complete and up-to-date volume available on acquiring, enjoying, and selling rare books, from fifteenth cen- tury books to modern first edi- tions.
