An overflow crowd of more thin
150 attended the annual meeting of
the Bruce County Historical Society
held Friday, October 17th in the
Knox Presbyterian Church, Walk-
erton.
The speaker was Geography
Professor .W. Fieguth, University
of Western 'Ontario, London. ,
His topic dealt with the import-
ance loCal history plays in enjoy-
ment of the environment. He
pointed out that outdoor recreation
needs variety and surprise and. that
people are fascinated with the past.
Recreation involves not only a
change in place but a change in
time. This is )vhere the preserva-
tion of local history plays' its part.
An area which one visits should
present an image that visitors can
take home with them. - Bruee
County has unique characteristics
of local .history which should be
preserved as a buffer against the
effects of mass media and 'large
scale organization. He encouraged
our preserving the landscape which
our children and grandchildren
would appreciate and cherish.
