VAST AREA!
The area drained bythe Ama-

Harry' Haytery R.R.2, Dash-
wood, was appointed Monday to
fill the vacancy on the Huron
County Board of Education
created by the resignation of
Jack Riddell, Rat 1, Hay.
Mr. Riddell was elected on
March 15 as the Liberal member
in the Ontario' Legislature for
the riding of Huron.
Mr. Hayter, a turkey farmer,
will represent the townships of
Usborne andSltsphen, as well as
the Town of Exeter. Clarence
McDonald of Exeter is the other
representative for this area.
The Board meeting was atten-
ded by a delegation of three from
Howick Township -- Douglas
Bunker of R.R.2, Harriston;David
Neilson of Gorrie and James
Robinson of Fordwich, a Howick
Township councillor, who wished
to get the view of the Board on
a proposed new community centre
to be built adjacent to Howick
Central School.
• The spokelsman, Mr. Hunker,
chairman of the building com-
mittee for the centre, said the
committee was interested in two
building sites -- one of which
was on the property of the How-
ick Central Sdhool. The school
is situated on a 40-acre piece of
land.
Mr.Bunker suggested that if
the centre were to be built ad-
jacent to the school it could be
used as a sports centre for the
students at noon hour, recess,
etc. so that the facility could be
used as much [as possible. He
stated the committee was inter-
ested in obtaining eight actes.
Mr. Dunker said the site for
the centre would be on top of a
recently built track at the school,
however, the committee would
relocate the track to the opposite
side (west) of the school.
Mr. Bunker inquired about
grants that might be available for
the centre if, used by the school.
Trustee J. P. Alexander of
Wiryham .asked Bruce Robinson,
principal' of the Howick Central
School, who was an observer at
the board meeting, if the school
was in need of more recreation
facilities. Mr. Robinson replied
that the auditorium facilities
were Satisfactory but that the
community centre presented ex-'
citing possibilities for hockey,
broomball and other such sports
if the arena was close enough
to be used during school time.
D. J. Cochrane, Director of
Education, said that There "was
no legal imprlimel to s a
venture affd rttat "11 7044 be ng
done moire and more.
An ad hoc committee was
named to investigate the proposal

The Cromarty Farmers Club
store at Cromarty is being de-
molished. The building was sold
to. the- County of Perth in 19'73
and then sold to Ted Harburn to
be removed. It has had a var-
ied occupancy since it was, e-
rected nearly 100 years ago.
The main building is 40 feet
by 24 feet with 16 foot posts on
it with a timber frame. The
building was built on a stone
wall 20" thick. It was covered
with 1 inch lumber and later co-
vered with asphalt brick siding.
Built in 18'79 by Joseph Hog-
garth, it was used for a wagon
and carpenter shop. The build-
ing replaced one that was des-
troyed by fire in December 10,
1878. Despite the• time
the building was ready for busi-
ness by the following February.
By the end of 1879 George
Miller had taken over the busi-7'
ness and used it for several years,,,,
as a wagon and carriage shop. In
1889 it was fitted for a store and
dwelling house by GeorEe Miller
t.nd It was rented fora General"
'Store to Adam Case. •
Jim Hyslap had the store a-
cross the road and he rentbd the
store for a year and hadit closed
up and then a year later it was
opened again as a store by Fred
Coleman. He was followed by a
Mr. Zimmerman who only stayed
for a short time. From 1893
until 1996 George Miller oper-
ated the store himself later sell-
ing it to James BroWn who car-
ried on the store untilSeptember
1907. During his occupancy the
present kitchen was moved froM
the west around to the north
corner.
