GODERICH County council members ar- riving for the September ses- sion found arranged at rear of the chamber a half-dozen different types of surface and underground s hel ters-- con- crete, metal or sandbag--such as recommended by the provin- cial emergency measures au- thorities. These were not subject of discussion in detail. It was explained that the new county co-ordinator, W. Stuart Forbes, who addressed council briefly, would have a detailed report for the November session. "The co-ordinator is moving along nicely," reported Reeve Milton Oesch, Zurich, chairman of the committee, "and doing a good job in the circumstances. This is still more or less a controversial subject, but the people of Huron are gradually recognizing that this is some- thing we cannot throw away." "I am very happy with the attitude of the executive com- mittee," Mr. Forbes told coun- cil, "and the people to whom I have spoken in the past two months. We found the organi- zation under Mr. MacDonald was very good, but the imple- mentation rather poor, for various reasons. We have pro= gressecl to the point where we Councillors Emerson Des- jardine, Orval Wassmann and Reeve Stewart Webb were a- gainst the move. Councillor Coles: "Well, I don't understand your consis- tency, gentlemen, You want to open up the Bend in the winter, yet you won't take advantage of this opportunity to encourage cottage-owners to come back for that weekend." Mr. Coles also scolded the council for not supporting him on this motion, when he had supported them on some pre- vious move. Councillor Desjardine; "You don't go along on somebody's motion, just to get your own through, Each motion stands by itself.'' ' Coles: "Oh, it's done all the time." " Not by me it's not," said Desjardine. TO LAY SUIT Building inspector William Rendle asked for direction with regard to a structure put up on a lot owned by Mrs, Ida M. Eccleston without a build- ing permit. The village decided that a charge would be laid, G RAND BEND Guaranty of $700 from Crowe Construction Ltd., Picton, is being requested by Grand Bend Council, before the firm will be permitted to dump fill on the beaches, Crowe obtained a contract for dredging the river and har- bor mouth nearly 18 months ago, and so far have not completed have appointed most of the heads of committees. "Our budget is very small, and makes the work that much more difficult, and it will take that much longer to do. How- ever, we will do the best we can, "The shelter is a controver- sial subject--strictly aperson- al need, if you feel you should have it; if not, nobody can make you put it in. However, this EMO has been kicked about a lot, and we need your participa- tion, and if you can help us in any way we will be glad," Charges pending in injury accident "We are here," said Mr. Taylor, "to honor one of the great men in the local museum movement in Ontario. Mr. Neill, away back before many people realized that material should be gathered, and in the depression years when nothing of that kind was going on, realized the need for it and has made a wonderful collection. I do not know any other place in Ontario where so much has been gathered. In other words, the Huron museum is unique in many of the things it has saved. Mrs. Metcalfe, who visited Goderich in 1956 to attend a historical society works hop, was impressed then with the work of Mr. Neill, who has now "collected for you an amazing background of your past. He has done for this county what C. T. Currelly did for the Royal On- tario Museum. The only other collection I have seen on a par was in Dearborn, Michigan, the Ford Museum, done with a great staff." "I are very much surprised," said Mr. Neill in responding. "I have been at it for 2'7 years, and I am very thankful to you for honoring me in this way. There have been two things down the years, difficulty and pleasure, and I know thousands of people are given great pleasure in going through the museum." PUC manager dies at Zurich Milfred Adam Schilbe, 62, manager of Zurich PUC, died in Victoria Hospital, London, on Tuesday, October 8. Surviving are two daughters: Mrs, Russell (Doreen) Tie- man, Exeter; Mrs. John (Sheila) Teevins, Grand Bend; two sons, Ray, London, and Hubert, Zur- ich; one brother and two sisters. The body is resting at the Westlake funeral home, Zurich, until Friday when services will be held at St. Peter's Lutheran Church at 2 pm. 1-luron St, and the third con- cession of Stephen. Damage amounted to $300. The same day, Edward B. McManus, 33, Waterloo, lost control of his car on No. 83, east of Exeter, and struck a tree in attempting to avoid a vehicle which made a left hand turn in front of him. Saturday, Wayne Harrison, 22, Centralia, hit a hydro pole in the village, causing $700 da- mage. Friday, Leonard Miller, 26, Kitchener, backed his car into the ditch where it rolled over just west of Zurich: near No. 84 highway. Miller missed his turn as he was proceeding west and was backing up to the inter- section. STILL IN HOSPITAL Miss Meta Salter, James St., is in South Huron Hospital with a broken pelvis and head la- cerations suffered when she was struck by a car Wednes- day night, Oct. 2, near the intersection of Main and James. Miss Salter was crossing the street behind a parked truck when she was struck by anorth- bound car driven by Neil Stan- lake, 33, Sanders St. She was thrown some 20 feet north of where the car came to a stop. Hoffman's Ambulance, Dash- wood, took the injured woman to hospital. Constable Karl Mc- Naughton investigated. Invitations to local trades- men to bid on changes and to suggest changes to the heating system of the village hall had been sent out by Councillor Coles. Only one answer was re- ceived to the three invitations. William Sturdevant advised that he had no intention of taking part in this on an invitation basis. He advised getting an en- gineer in to plan changes to the system if required, and then calling tenders when some de- cisions had been reached. The matter was left in the hands of the property committee. Court of revision will beheld on October 28, with all mem- bers of council forming the court. Councillor Ian Coles has ask- ed that the clerk make a survey of various areas in which gov- ernment grants may be avail- able; and suggested that thought be given to a recreation area as a centennial project, for which federal grant money would be available. He chastised the recreation committee: "They have no meetings, at least they don't ask me to them". Coles and Wassmann are council repre- sentatives on the recreation committee, Coles said, "Grand Bend should act on a metropolitan basis. If we lend our facilities to the people of the area, then we should expect some help from the area in developing and supporting them," The clerk was authorized to send a letter to the postmaster general with a copy to Walter Foy, MP for the area, to dis- cover what steps are being taken with regard to construct- ing a new post office in the village. They will ask why the post office was taken off the 1963 federal budget. the job. since last December the south beach area which was used for dumping in 1962 has been unsightly. Speaking to a representative of the Crowe firm at the coun- cil meeting on Monday night, council insisted upon the guar- anty before they would permit the firm to dump gravel and sand from the river bottom, on either of the beaches. If the areas are not cleared to the council's satisfaction by Dec- ember 15 of this year, then they will use the $700 to com- plete the work, Council has proposed that Crowe can dump on the north side of the pier, and truck the fill away from there, IN GIBBS PARK Four more residents of the Gibbs Park area have register- ed their objections to any changes in the entrance to the Park. John McInnes of the Im- perial Hotel, who now owns the land fronting on the MainStreet, is proposing moving the present entrance west, so that he can erect a six-lane curling' rink on the site. ELECTION PLANS Council refused to support a suggestion made by Council- lor Ian Coles for an advance poll prior to the municipal elec- tion this December, Mr. Coles contended that without an ad- vance poi called for aSaturday many of the cottage-o wne r s would be disenfranchised, "They can't get time off from their jobs to come to Grand Bend to vote," he said, "And they can't get here after work before the polls close." Assured by the village clerk Murray A, DesJardins that the advance poll would cost in the neighbourhood of $20, Council- lor Rollie Grenier favoured the move. "For that cost, it's worth it", One man was injured and damage exceeded $5,000 in a rash of accidents this past week. Two animals were involved in the crashes. Charges are pending against Robert R. Thompson, 19, Clin- ton, whose car collided with an- other driven by Clayton Laing, 50, Harriston, on No, 83 high- way, two miles east of Exeter Friday. Laing, who was travelling east on the highway, was struck broadside by the Thompson ve- hicle, which had been proceed- ing south on the second con- cession of Usborne. Laing's vehicle then went into the ditch and hit a tree broadside. The Harriston man suffered a ruptured left lung, fractured left ribs and skull and other injuries. Sunday, Paul Cronyn, 30, RR 1 Clandeboye, struck a calf on the second concession of Usborne, south of 83, causing $200 da- mage to his car and killing the animal, owned by Thomas Yellow, RR 3 Exeter. Thursday, at Kirkton, George Milton Day, 43, Cedar Spring, struck an animal believed to have been a deer. The car suffered $300 damage but the animal left the scene, Tuesday, cars driven by Pat- rick Glavin, 37, RR 2 Crediton, and 'Wilbert Edwards, 37, Ex- eter, collided at the corner of GB Institute recalls horse, buggy days Continue study of Usborne site Usborne school area board still has not reached agreement on the site for its new $190,000 central school but investigation continues. At a meeting last month, Board Chairman KennethSimp- son and former chairman Harry Dougall were authorized to look at all possible locations throughout the township. The two-man committee sur- veyed a number of sites Mon- day and Wednesday evenings this week. The board previously was deadlocked 2-2 on sites, one near the middle, the other close to the west side of the township. By MRS. WELLWOOD GILL GRAND BEND At the Grand Bend WI meeting in the town hall on September 26 several interesting and hurno- A former Exeter man, Regin- ald S. Parsons, and his wife of Janesville, Wisc., r ecently completed a 26-day trip of over 9,000 miles into Alaska, Yukon and British Columbia. Highlights of their trip were the 1,067-mile voyage up the "inside passage" op the steam- er princess Patricia, touring the ports of Prince Rupert, Ketchikan and Juneau, andland- ing at Skagway, Alaska. At Skagway they began ae un- forgettable trip along the "Trail of the '98" via the White Pass and Whitehorse railroad over the St. Elias range, one of the highest ranges on the North American continent, following the trail of the gold seekers into Whitehorse, Yukon, the ca- pital, and then on by bus to Dawson City, Yukon. After panning gold near the Klondike River of the Cripple Creek Mining Co. Ltd., and visiting the many interesting buildings and reminders of Gold Rush days, they hoarded Wein's Airline to Fairbanks, Alaska, across a vast and lonely land, following the mighty Yuk on River. After visiting in Fair- banks, they boarded the Alaska railroad to Anchorage by way of Mt. McKinley Park. Their tour of this magnificent Park was most rewarding as they not only saw the 20,300' Mt. Mc- Kinely Peak, highest in North America, but they saw it from base to summit, a sight only seen once in four days on the average. They also saw several moose, dozens of dell sheep and caribou, and a large grizzly bear, all in their natural habitat. Out of Anchorage they tra- velled in a sternwheeler boat down the great Tanana River, largest glacial river in Alaska, if not in the world. Along this river they saw the Athabaska Indians in their summer hunting and fishing areas. Their flight from Anchorage to Gulkana, Alaska, via Cor- dova Airlines was over the Chugach Range with its many snow-capped peaks and gla- ciers, with fresh snow glitter- ing in the sun. A round-trip busride down to Valdez, Alas- ka, on the gulf of that name, was very spectacular in that the road ran alongside four giant mountain peaks of the Wrangell Range rising up out the valley from 12,000 to over 16,000 feet or more. This same road went on through Thompson Pass of the Chugach Range, with its high waterfalls, its rugged peaks, and glistening glaciers. The busride down the Alaska Highway all the way to Mile- post 0 was fascinating and very beautiful. Perhaps the high- point of the journey was the never-to-be-forgotten trip via The Pacific & Great Eastern railroad down across the wilds of British Columbia, along the great Fraser River Canyon, the very high and rugged Cascade and Coast Ranges into North Vancouver. And finally, they visited one of the most beautiful cities in all Canada, Victoria, the pro- vincial capital of British Col- umbia, with its old English charm, its old English homes, and atmosphere; and at its bor- der, the world famous Butchart Gardens. COUNCIL —Continued from front page be established with the con- dition that a doctor's certifi- cate be provided, if called for. Councillor Ross Taylor, a member of the finance commit- tee, objected to council making a decision before receiving a recommendation from commit- tee. Boyle: "We asked for it six weeks ago." Taylor: "We've had the con- dition for 16 years. A few weeks won't matter." After the motion passed, Boyle said: "I'm happy now. I'll shut up for the rest of the year." NO LOAN PROGRAM After some discussion coun- cil felt it could not take ad- vantage of the federal govern- ment's new municipal loan pro- gram which provides for a 25% forgiveness of debt for public Works projects completed by March 1066, The loan outline was referred to the PUC which may be able to benefit from the fund in con- nection with some of the major projects it is contemplating, In other business, Approved participation by Mayor Simmons in a new CKNX- TV program entitled "Your Mayor Reports"; Endorsed decision by the roads Committee to pave Ann St. from sidewalk to sidewalk front Main to Carling and pro- vide a 20-foot surface from Carling 'to the CNE with an asphalt gutter; DiScuseed relief of bad road conditions and dust problem on No, 4 at the south end; Authorized Supt Janie a Pais- ley to arrange for repair of the town hall clocks; Approved purchase of three signs identifying the sewerage WOrkS, as required by the OWItC; Granted building permits to Mrs. Gloria O'Dell, Andrew St., a garage; Miss .Lily Grab, Vie-- tone, carpOrt; Tony RelOuw, house On ThOttiaS St.; Cordon Kirk, Anne St., siding; iiatn Middleten,AndreW, siding, Learned trent AAP that re-pair Of the pillars at the arena cost $1,900 and granted the board $2,000 to cover this OXa Penae, rous replies were given in ans- wer to the roll call, "A Story or happening of horse and buggy days".

Mrs. Carmon Lovie, histori- cal research and current events convener, was in charge of the program and gave an interesting paper on "The origin of some of our everyday foods". Com- ments on motto were given by Mrs. Harold Wainer, "All things are changed and we change with them". Resolutions were read.

Mr. and Vifs, Jerry Nading (newly weds) have moved to Green Acres., Agreement issue County council carried with- out debate a property commit- tee report in which mention was made of a new "agreement form relative to articles left at the museum." Later in the day it brought protest, and some- thing in the way of a demand that it be withdrawn, from Cur- ator J. H. Neill. Regarding the agr e em ent form drawn up by the county so- licitors, Reeve Iltan Haskins' report stated: "We are con- cerned with articles which have been either lent or donated by people who later in life pass away. Sometimes it happens that these articles are then claim- ed by relatives, and suddenly the articles become valuable. To offset this problem we have arranged for agreement forms which should cover these var- ious situations." "A clause in one of the pa- pers to be filled out means trouble," Mr. Neill said in his oral report to council. He read: "The said objects shall be the exclusive and absolute property of the museum, and may be lent or placed elsewhere or dis- posed of in such manner as the museum may deem advisable.' Some donors had declined to sign this, and one load of ar- ticles had to be left. Another prospective donor, when he heard the wording, said "no hell with the museum." "This museum had been built with good-will and trust," said Mr. Neil, "We know where there is a lot more stuff, but I leave this matter with you." lie estimated that of 6,500 exhibits perhaps 1,000 are on loan, The likelihood of lenders claiming the articles is slight, he said. As an instance that did occur, one family got back a cradle, wanted for great-grand- children, Mr. Neill reported more than 20,000 visitors up to date, and $4,500 revenue. The building is completely full," he said, and "it is for you to decide about More room. Vandalism hasbeen considerable; more than in all the years I have been there," Reeve Smith reported that a plaque in memory of Gavin Green is being erected at the museum, Mr. Green left a sum of money to the museum, and it has been used in reconstructing the office area. Mr. Smith, who attended the Ontario Historical Society con- vention MS year, reported that "there are certain people who are anxious to form a Buren County Historical Society." The matter is under consideration by the wardens and personnel committee. cuRkrott HONORED At the afternoon aeasien, Curator Neill was presented With the first honorary life Mernbership 'O'er bestowed by the Ontario HiStorical Society.
