T1�e spokesman, Mr. Bunker,
chairman of the buildings com-
,mittee for. the centre, said the
committee was interested in two
*gliding. sites, one of which was
on the property of the Howick
Central School. The ',school is
situated on a 40 -acre piece of
land..; °
,Mr.: 'Bunker suggested that if
Om 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
ate.<as much as possible. He
sued the committee was in-
tetested in obtaining eight acres.
Mr. Bunker said the site for the
centre would be • on top of a
ecently-built track at the school.
IHawever, 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
Wingham asked Bruce Robert -
Son; principal of the Howick Cen-
tral school, who was an observer
at the board meeting, if the
school was in need of more rec-
reation facilities. Mr. Robertson
replied that the auditorium
facilities are satisfactory but that

ject by Professor James Scott o
Seaforth to update the history o
Huron County under the "Ex

vincial Government for grants t
students made available through
the Ministry of Education.
The project is designed to up
date the history of Huron County
from 1900 to 1975, The history o
the first 75 years of Huron County
was documented and made avail
able in a book commissioned by
the Huron County Council, "The
Settlement of Huron County" by
James Scott (Ryerson, 1986).
Now County Council feels it is de-
sirable to cover the next 75 years.
With a view to providing
summer employment for Huron
County students, one secondary
school student and four univer-
sity studentat, Huron Council has
sought the co-operation of the
Huron County Board of Educa-
tion which has the authority to
