Wood • from page 2 None -the -less a few doses of fresh air soon cured my breathing ailment, to the point I was almost returned to normal. Given a bit more time I was able to straighten out the kinks in my body - caus- ed of course from being bent over a board all day, and have the semblance of normali- ty as well. The cupboards aren't exactly to the point yet they should be - there are still those nas- ty little paint particles that have become so imbedded in the woodgrain over the years nothing short of a shotgun will get them out; there are those impossible to reach but easy to spot areas between the countertop and dishwasher; and of course there is the trim. Sometimes I think mom and dad would've been better off to buy new cup- boards - or else move. When the kitchen is finally completed it will probably take them months, maybe even years to do a proper clean up.

Refreshments and socializing Wilma Oke retires • from page 1 going to business college in London. After graduation she was a secretary at the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, a position she loved. In 1941 Wilma married Orville Oke, a war veteran who worked in the purchasing department of Westminster Hospital. The couple moved to Seaforth in the 1950s where Mr. Oke took up the position of Postmaster. He died from a heart attack in 1983, two years after Wilma had also ex- perienced heart problems and undergone a bypass operation. Together the Okes had two daughters - Mary (Mrs. Mitchell Moore), a librarian in Hamilton and Elaine (Mrs. Ray Baker), a teacher in Mississaug . Wilma has three grandaughters, Alonna, 10, Adrienne, 6, and Kristin, 5 A fourth grandchild is expected any day now. Museum followed.

They make the community a better place to live. • .. ..a...... .a .2.4 3 .14 kfl Part of Wilma's retirement plan rails for a bit of babysitting, but she has other things in mind as well. A member of the Lioness Club, the Seaforth Community Hospital Auxiliary, the Seaforth Horticulture Society, Northside United Church and as secretary for the Huron branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, there will be plenty for her to do. She already puts The Volunteer, a four- page magazine for hospital auxiliaries in Ontario. She has co-authored the book Tuckersmith Memories, and intends to work on a history book of Usborne Township, which is where her husband originated. Otlir plans include completing her own family tree. "I don't know how the years slipped away so fast. I don't feel any, older in many ways than in the past." • from page 5 theatre, the temporary exhibit hall will also be a community facility, said Breede, available for showings by local artists and groups. Bringing in travelling exhibits, Breede said, along with continually rotating the display of the museum's own exhibits, are elements of the plan to encourage repeat visits. "We want to get away from the idea of 'Oh, the museum? I was there seven or eight years ago,"' he said. In addition to the public viewing galleries, the museum will now be hous- ing the Huron County Archives and a research room for the public will be available for people studying family trees and other projects. Non-public areas have also been includ- ed in the renovations, such as a darkroom, restoration room, conserva- tion workshop, loading docks, increased storage space and exhibit preparation workshop. Ironically, the renovations actually decrease the total square footage of the museum, from 42,000 square feet to 40,000. However, Breede notes, the renovations allow for "a better use of space." "The museum has always enjoyed a reputation of being terrific. Now it can provide the collection with the kind of home it deserves and give museum -goers the kind of museum experience they've come to expect. It's a shot in the arm that's badly need- ed," Breede stated. FUNDING STILL NEEDED The old museum building had a history of structural problems (a section of the roof collapsed in 1972) and in 1983 a feasibility study was done on the possibility of moving the collection to a building in Vanastra. This suggestion "caused an outcry in Goderich," explained Breede, leading eventually to the decision, in 1985, to salvage the old schoolhouse and keep the museum on the present site. The County of Huron has committed $1:15 million to the project and a further $1.17 was obtained as a grant from the provincial government. In 1985, the county applied for a $1.15 million Federal government grant and to date, this grant has not been confirmed despite several meetings between museum officials and federal government representatives. I personally feel we will get the money, but in the meantime, it's costing us money," said Breede of the delay in approval of federal funding. The "best possible scenario," said Breede, would see the federal money come through by Spring. If this happens, he said, the entire project could be•com- pleted by 1990. Without the federal money, he said, "it would take at least another four or five years". Whenever the project is completed, it is certain to make the museum a showpiece for Huron County. "I believe it will be one of the finest community museums in the country," Breede declared.
