SOME ANSWERED
1—QUESTIONS—
Why is there no clergy in
—the Baha'i Faith?—
For the first time in history the
Message of God is written by the
Prophet in His lifetime. Mankind is
becoming educated in all countries.
Self investigation of truth is the
first obligation for this age. The
message of Baha'u'llah contains
specific laws and principles and a
specific structure for an elected
administration.

"IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA"
482-7103
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
It will cost $151,500 to keep the Huron
County Pioneer Museum running this
year, 4.9 per cent more than last year.
The museum's '1986 budget was approv-
ed at the February session of Huron Coun-
ty council, but is still subject to a final
review by the county's executive commit-
tee. The council reserves the right for a se-
cond look at all department budgets in
case there hasto be cutting from expenses.
The museum's largest expense is for
salaries and employee benefits. A total of
$93,600 has been earmarked for salaries,
plus $17,800 for employee benefits.
Administration costs, such as telephone
and other Offiee expenses as well as
maintenance, take the next largest chunk
of the 1986 budget. Over $12,000 has been
set aside in the budget for administration
and $13,200 for maintenance.
The largest contributor to this budget is
the county of Huron. It will pay $97,500, up
just over $5,000 from last year's levy of
$92,875.
The museum expects to make $16,000
from admissions this year, up from $15,000
budgeted for last year. The province of On-
tario is expected to contribute another
$30,000 and the museum's gift shop is
budgeted to bring in $5,500.
The rest of the money will be made up in
donations and membership fees.
Van Egmond Foundation wants
closer ties with county museum
The Van Egmond House Foundation is
looking for closer ties .with the Huron
County Pioneer Museum.
As the museum gears up for its major
capital project, the reconstruction of the
museum building, the foundation has ap-
proached Huron County council's museum
committee with the idea of working
together.
The Van Egmond house, located in
Egmondville south of Seaforth, receives
about 900 visitors a year. It was noted that
the mortgage on the house is paid off and
the foundation is able to meet routine ex-
penses such as heat, light and
maintenance.
The only restored residence in the coun-
ty is looking for a close relationship with
the museum and professional guidance
and administrative assistance.
• The county agreed "in principle" with
the working relationship. The museum's
project director, Claus Breede will con-
tinue to meet with the foundation to work
out how the two groups can set up the rela-
tionship.
