(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Volunteers come to the rescue at Huron Museum This past spring, for the veru first ti,... group of about 30 volunteers from_ across the county became involved with the Huron County Pioneer Museum in Goderich. The volunteers came to the rescue when, due to budget cuts and uncertainty about the museum's future, the usual four guides and one custodian could not be hired. Assisting the four full-time paid staffers at the museum, the volunteers gave guided tours to school groups; repaired some of the museum's artifacts; did research work; served refreshments on the lawn to certain tour groups; and held a couple of craft seminars for area children. Presently, they are working on a float to enter in Goderich's Santa Claus parade and they are planning a pioneer weekend to be held at the museum next August. They also hope to have a Bi -Centennial project in the works soon for next year. "The whole purpose of the volunteer group is to promote the museum and get more community involvement," says Bonnie Dunn, the group's chairman. xt , WINTER SPECIALS!

She says a lot more volunteers are needed and would urge anyone interested in joining the group to call her at 524-8903 or museum curator Raymond Scotchmer at 524-9610. Mr. Scotchmer says even though just the bottom floor of the museum was open this past season (May 1 to October 31), the regular paid staff would have had a great deal of difficulty handling the workload without the assistance of the volunteers and he looks forward to the continuation of the group. To that end, a meeting was held in Goderich last week to evaluate the work of this past season and to plan for next year. give yourself a lift! in one of our fine cars vans trucks. $21 95 prices start at ■ INCLUDING FREE 100 KM *weekly & weekend rates available .20' van truck available, • 12' van truck avail. 70 -ii -111.1 Air 11,11110 holida i,' rent-s•car system 524.8411 STRICKLANDS 334 HURON RD., GODERICH NEWBORN NEWS DRENNAN Allan and Susan are very happy to announce the birth of -their daughters, Sarah Lindsay, 6 lbs. 13 oz. and Amanda Victoria, 6 lbs. 7 oz. on November 2, 1983 at St. Joseph's Hospital, London.
