A son Murray predeceased him in 1962, The funeral will be held at the Huron does not go according to Huron's aspirations for this county, it will be because com- munications broke down between Toronto and Huron, "You'll have no one to blame but yourselves," stated Professor Horton. "You must work to make the government's planning correspond with what you want to see happen in Huron." He presented to council MDG's brief which has been sent to government - an appraisal of Design for Development Phase 1. He urged all councillors to become familiar with the document and to study its con- tents. During the day, the county's budget for 1972 was approved by council. It showed that additional county funds of $192,221 will be required this year. This would require a mill rate increase based on the old assessment system of 11/2 mills, The executive committee of county council reported that further study on the Van Egmond property near Seaforth shows that the Heritage Foundation grant of $12,000 is dependent upon the County of Huron taking title to the property. Council agreed that the county should not assume the respon- sibility for the title on the property, but added that a grant may be considered after the Van Egmond Foundation committee has been able to show clear title to the property and financial capability as to future programming. There was considerable discussion once more on the hospital grants system to be used in Huron now that hospitals in the county no longer require ad- ditional beds, but larger emergency facilities. After rather lengthy debate on the problem, decision was reached to pay 25 percent of all provincially approved building costs in connection with hospital construction in Huron County. Since the province supplies two- thirds of all approved building costs, the local municipality in which the hospital is situated will be faced with the problem of raising the remaining eight and one-third percent. It was further agreed that until such time as sufficient funds are SMILE AWHILE There's now a jukebox that spontaneously erupts with plaintive pleas to put another coin in whenever it hasn't been played for a while.

In other business, Huron County Council accepted an offer from the Ontario Department of Education to supply a summer children's program co-ordinator for the summer months at no cost to the county: and agreed to accept the proposal of the Western Ontario Regional Sports Conference to develop a sports association in Huron, provided funds are available from the provincial government so that there will be no cost to the county of Huron. - Continued from Front Page with a five-year plan for the development of the museum, you would have a pretty fantastic museum which would leave visitors to Huron County saying that if you are ever up that way to stop off to see the museum of penology." A maximum grant of $1,000 would be available to the museum, each year, Styrmo said, Museums don't make a lot of money, either, Styrmo reminded council. He said that 116 out of 120 museums in Ontario record a loss each year. The average income for museums is only about 40 to 60 percent of the gross cost of operation. The only profitable museums in Ontario are at Niagara Falls - and are privately owned. "But you would keep visitors to Huron County longer, they would spend more money in the com- munity, it would be an educational facility and, just maybe it would deter some potential law breakers of the future," Styrmo concluded, Reeve Allan Campbell of McKillop, last year's chairman of the property committee, warned council he planned to speak plainly. "If we keep the jail as a museum, the rope is around our neck and all they have to do is pull the trap," argued Campbell. He stated that Huron County's Pioneer Museum has a $36,000 annual budget and a $1,000 grant Bicycle tags go on sale All bicycle owners in the town of Exeter are reminded licences for their machines will be on sale Saturday at the Exeter town hall from 10 a,m, to 4 p.m. The police department asks that parents send a note, especially with the younger children giving the information necessary in obtaining a licence. The make, serial number and colour of the bicycle will be recorded on the licence and a record is kept at the police station which is valuable in case of theft or loss. Dogs The Exeter police department continues to receive calls regarding dogs running at large in town, Owners are asked to keep their dogs tied up. A fine will be levied if a dog is picked up by police. Accident Damages totalled $1,300 in the only accident of the week in- vestigated by the Exeter police department this week. Involved in a collision on Main street, near John were vehicles driven by James Smith, 37 Waterloo Street, Exeter and Sarah Needham, RR 1 , Ilderton. Constable Ardell McIntyre in- vestigated. Break-in Two persons were arrested early Saturday morning in connection with a break-in at Middleton's Drug store on Main street. They were later released and will appear in Exeter court, May 9, Nothing was reported missing during the break-in, Police report - Continued from Front Page enters investigated, one vehicle stolen and recovered, one fraud count, four assaults, He reported the department had 102 hours of overtime during the month, due primarily to the fact Constable Cairns was off sick for four days. Councillor Ross Taylor reported he had been at the library corner last week and saw several youngsters pressing the button to activate the traffic lights, but they then walked the wrong way. He wondered why they were pressing the button. "Just because it's a button," opined Mayor Jack Delbridge. Chief Day commended two members of the department, Constables Cairns and McIntyre for catching two suspects in a break and enter investigation, Saturday. He told council members the walki-talkis had come in handy too, pointing out that without them it was doubtful that the suspects would have been cap- tured by the two policemen. plus an intake of about $12,000 to offset the costs. "That's about $23,000 for the people of Huron to make up each year, insisted Campbell. "Can the people afford to keep another museum? Good Lord, how much more can we Aland?". 'Wingham - -Reeve Jack Alexander suggested that the building be sold to the town of Goderich for $1. "Let them provide us with some parking," Alexander recommended, obviously referring to the parking bind in which the county finds itself at the nearby Children's Aid offices and the assessment offices. "I'm disappointed in the at- titude of this council," said Reeve Harold Lobb of Clinton, "I thought this county was supposed to be a tourist area. If it is going to be a tourist area, you have to have something for the people to see. If we don't want it that way, we'd be better to make her into an industrial complex," "Mr. Campbell wants to speak plainly," challenged Anson McKinley, deputy-reeve of Stanley Township." I'd like to know how much Mr. Campbell would want for the jail if we sold it." "I'd like to ask Mr. McKinley a question," retaliated Campbell. "How many more museums can the county stand?" "I'd have to know what the one we have is worth to the county of Huron before I would answer that question," said McKinley, Harold Robinson, the reeve of hlowick, was not in favor of the plan to make the jail into a museum, He talked about the new health and welfare services the county now has, and added that in his opinion the county should spend money on "preventative medicine rather than on dead stone." The Goderich jail has two distinct claims to fame - although both may be considered dubious honors by many, The Huron County Jail was the scene of the very last public hanging in Ontario and is also the place where the now famous Steven Truscott, then 14 years of age, spent eight months in a cell waiting for the death sentence to be carried out. A third interesting fact about the history of the jail was brought forth by county clerk-treasurer John Berry. He said records show that the first meeting of Huron County Council was held on the third floor of the jail. "But they retired to the hotel uptown for the next meeting," reported Berry. "The records do not indicate why." The matter of the establish- ment of a Huron County Museum of Penology was referred back to committee for further study, especially in the area of proposed costs for the project. The next meeting of Huron County Council is May 26, It is likely the whole matter will be re- opened for discussion at that time.
