On May 6, 1964, a meeting was Aeld in Goderich which resulted in the•formatiof, of the Society under the sponsorship of Huron County Council. The first executive meeting was held in the board room of the Court House in Goderich on June 1, 1964. The first "open meeting" was held in Carlow Hall, Colborne Township on October 16, 1964. This year, on May 17, after two decades in existence, the Society will return to Colborne Township for its anniversary celebrations. These celebrationswill include a presentation by A.Y. McLean, former editor and owner of the Huron Expositor in Seaforth and an Honorary President of the Society. The aim of the Society is to continue collecting the history of the past andpresent for the preservation of tomorrow. This history is collected in many different forms, including books, family trees, photographs, tapes, etc. All of this material is stored in the Archives located in the Huron County Public Library at the corner of Waterloo and Elgin Streets in Goderich. Researchers are welcome to use this material and in the past have come from 'all over Canada and the United States to do so. The, first location for the Society's Archives was at the Huron County Pioneer Museum in Goderich.

When County Council bought 'and' "renovated the former Pentecostal Churchin Goderich, they made new quarters for both. the Huron County Library and the Huron County Historical Society Archives. The official opening took place in 1980. Mrs. Le Roy ( Ethel) Poth of Bayfield, who has been a member of the Society since it was founded, has served as Archivist for the past five years. It is a big job and Mrs. Poth has decided to resign from it Vcause she feels that she "just can't do it justice any more". Living in Bayfield means travelling - quite a distance to and from the Archives, often on short notice, to retrieve information for the curious and she must rely heavily on the Assistant Archivist, Mrs. Guy Emerson of Goderich, to run to the rescue instead. As a former school teacher, Mrs. Poth has always been fascinated by history and when she heard that a county historical society was going to be formed, she says she rushed right over to the inaugural meeting. She was elected as a director at this meeting and served the Society for 16 years as the membership chairman. Others elected at this meeting included J.H. Neill (founder of the Huron County Pioneer Museum), honorary president; Mrs. W.D.

Clift and Mrs. W.D. Rutherford. Today, the membership of the Society numbers between 175 and 200 but Mrs. Poth says it is in need of "younger blood". She hopes the new trend of searching out one's - roots will help get more young people interested in history and joining the Society. Besides seeking new members, the Society is always on the look out for historical information of any kind for its Archives. "We're very interested in donations - anything that involves history, whether it's on industries, people, businesses, schools or clubs," says Mrs. Poth. She explains that everything which is brought into the Archives is first recorded in an accessions book and then catalogued for easy research reference. When the location of the Archives changed from the museum to the library, 65 cartons of material had to be moved and Mrs. Poth estimates that at least ten times more material has been collected since then. • Among this material, one can find old jury booksdating back to 1852 when Huron, Perth and Bruce Counties were all one; township assessors and collectors books dating back to the 1860s; old school, . church and cemetery records; and numerous family trees. One such family tree, written by T.W. Denomme, is entitled "Our French Canadian Ancestory".. It covers the years 1631-1982 and offers historical detail on more than 22 families who settled around the St. Joseph area. It includes many names which are still familiar\ in the area; names like Aubin, Bedard, Corriveau and Rau. ersary TIeArchives! also contains the -sera of historian IOW* Campbell, a ormer^ Seafor, asldl!it who now lives In Huronvlew; old' copies of the Huron Eltor dating from 1873-1920; old copies of the Gia derichSigtral-Star, and a collection of OntarlObistory as well as •Canadians.. Mrs. Poth says many history collections, including the writings of Goderich historian W.E. Elliott, go to universities which Can afford to pay for them. So, if researchers can't find what they are looking for in the county Archives or library, they are often referred to these universities. Each year, the Huron County Historical Society produces a soft -covered volume detailing certain aspects of loci history. These Huron Historical Notes, as they are called, were started by the late Mrs. Tait Clark and taken over by Mrs. Fordyce Clark. This year's 20th volume will feature pioneer doctors. Each volume is free to members of the Society and can be bought by libraries, universities and individuals. A complete set of all 20 volumes can be purchased for $59. Besides preserving historical information and aiding researchers, the Huron County Historical Society also tries to promote an -interest in history among school children. This is done by holding an annual essay contest on historical subjects and offering prizes for historical models at Agriculture and School Fairs. The Society holds four general meetings and several business meetings each year. The general meetings are held in as many different locations throughout Huron County as possible. The Society is often aided by the various Women's Institutes in setting up halls or other locations for these meetings and providing refreshments. Memberships m the Society are $4 and can be obtained from membership convener, Mrs. John Anderson, R.R. 1 Hensall NOM 1XO or secretary -treasurer, Mrs. M. Batkin, General Delivery, Clinton NOM 1LO. Museum Day at Pioneer Museum BY BERTHA McGEE Museum Day is May 18 at the Huron Coun- ty Pioneer Museum, 110 North Street, Goderich. Bring in your items of historical interest, to be . identified by Bill Fox, a member of the Ministry of Culture. Com- munity participation in the museum is being encouraged. The next . meeting of the museum volunteers will take place on May 14 at 10 a.m. in the Assessment. Building board room. Anyone with the time to spend helping with projects atthe museum should come to the meeting. Twenty volunteers visited the Wellington County Museum near Fergus on April 27. They learned that the volunteers there are very organized in teaching the historical facts of that area. The Huron County Pioneer Museum volunteers are helping ' to do pioneer demonstrations, research specific subjects 'and have. educational. kits ready to introduce programs to . the school children. The volunteers will work with a member of the school board to present their programs at the Museum to the teachers of the county. Each subject presented will be unique to Huron County, such as the. history of salt' mining, pioneer life, rural settlements and agriculture here in the early 1800s. They will provide students with a variety of ex- periences of life in historic Huron County. Come to the Museum on May 18 anAY see what the Museum can do for you. Archives established at playhouse This year marks the thirteenth anniver- sary of 'the opening of Huron Country Playhouse. During the past years, each season's programs, posters, brochures and other records have been diligently filed away in a variety of boxes and cartons and then largely forgotten until a few short mon- ths ago. Current Huron Country Playhouse General Manager, Heather Redick decided to establish a permanent archive which would be dedicated to preserving the short but very important history of the Playhouse. The new archive extends back to the first move from Toronto of the struggling Toron- to Gate Productions to Grand Bend and the first great clean-up of the Huron Country Playhouse property. It includes pictures of the first opening night in the old tent and various plans for permanent buildings before' construction of the present theatre auditorium. But there are gaps - sometimes huge ones that have not been filled in. This is especial- ly true of the first season in 1972, and for no known`reason. the 1974 season as well. People who may have stashed away old programs, posters, flyers, photos or other memorabilia are asked to contact the Playhouse so that staff members 'can con- tinue to fill in the history. Any donations of items, especially from the 1972 and 1974 seasons are more than welcome. $200,000 grant for libraries Close to $200,000 in Wintario grants has been awarded to 39 Ontario libraries in- cluding the Huron County library, . to pur- chase language books, materials' and equip- ment for the disabled, the Honourable Susan Fish, Ontario's Minister of Citizenship and Culture, announced recently. "Thirty-nine public libraries from across the province have received $188,822 to pur- chase materials that will enable them to bet- ter serve their local residents," said the OVERSIZE I RUBBER BOOTS SHOES I GOOD UtLECTION LADIES'... to Iso t3 I MEN'S - LADIES' MIN'S ...: to sIze 14 CHILD'S- SOTS' SAFETY BOOTS 1 WIDE SHOES MIN'S -LADIES' I MEN'S - LADIES' MANY I ASSORTED STYLES STYLES S��G�`�S 2 STORES IN DOWNTOWN LONDON 120 DUNDAS 330 CLARENC AT MARKET AT TOR minister. "These funds will enrich the col- lections of local libraries 'with materials especially for use' by francophone; multicultural and Native communities as well as materials ' and equipment for the print handicapped." The Elgin County Library System, for ex- ample, will receive $19,395_ to purchase materials to serve its local Native, disabled and francophone populations. The Sudbury Public Library received $5,000 to expand its collection of materials produced in Croatian, Polish and Ukrainian, and to purchase large print books. The Huron County Public Library in Goderich will receive $20,000 to purchase French, German, Dutch, and large print and talking books. "Ontario's communities are changing and libraries are changing with them," said Ms. Fish. "These grants will enable these facilities to purchase materials to allow them to better reflect the nature of Ontario's diverse population." HURON COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION Huron County Board of Education has agreed to appointing a committee to study the issue of French immersion. Each high school area will have one parent representative on this committee. Parents who are interested in serving in this capacity are asked to indicate their interest 13-y writing to the director of education no later than May 25, 1984. Said Tetter should contain name, address, telephone number, high school area in which they live and reasons for wishing to serve. Address letter to: R.B.
