By Sharon Dietz Huron County Council decided at its June meeting last Thursday to apply for a Wintario grant for the building program to replace the Huron County Pioneer Museum. Ray Sentchmer, curator of the museum, said he would prefer a steel structure to Jr. Citizens six years old The Wingham Junior Citizens celebrated their sixth birthday on the weekend with a special . dinner for working members of the group, climaxed by a huge, delicious birthday cake. A dance at the Armouries extended the celebrations, with the building decorated with streamers and balloons. The only sad note was that none of the adults invited was able to attend. The group first came into being June 28, 1975, and Adrian Keet, one of the organizers, reported that curbing of vandalism was one of the reasons for its formation. In the past six years, he noted, vandalism has been almost non-existent in Wingham while other towns still are plagued with it. He suggested the Junior itizens are at least partly responsible for this and deserve the support of the community. He added that the Junior Citizens are grateful to all who have supported them in the past, and offered their thanks at this meeting. replace the present building and will be submitting a sketch with the Wintario application. A decision to replace the present building was made by the county's property committee when part of the roof collapsed at the museum last winter because of the heavy snow. The problem is not detrioration rather poor design. Applications for capital ANNE CAMPBELL Anne Campbell, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Rob- ert Campbell of Frakes Street in Wingham, grad- uatgd from Fanshawe College on June 20. She received her diploma In Early Childhood Educa- tion and Is employed at the PLUTO Day Care Centre in Cambridge. 4 grants are being received until September 30, 1981 •so word • of acceptance of Huron's application will probably not be, received until 1982. Scotchmer said the 'property committee con- sidered several factors in Making its decision before deciding to replace the present structure. The com- mittee considered that the county already owns the land where the present museum is located. The urine museum has recently been established in Goderich and will be operated in con- junction with the pioneer museum. It would be costly to move the locomotive at the museum to another location and Scotchmer is not in favor of establishing a village -type museum because he feels the area has several already. Scotchmer hopes the „building program can be phased over'several years to permit the museum to remain open to 'the public during construction. He outlined several ad- vantages to a new structure including environmental control which will permit the museum to remain open all year round. Presently, the main exhibit area cannot be heated during the winter months. Scotchmer observed that having the museum open during the winter would be advantageous for school children to tour the museum during the school year. He also anticipates the new structure will have 'display rooms and lecture rooms which the present Museum lacks, as well as Vault space for archival materials. :nee da the Oa am and District "1•:d intends to sed amend - 'bile Hospitals uld give the erable power the running of last Wed - bard authorized ack Kopas to Of protest to the provincial -epresentatives pitario Hospital Was one of the the board at its W goes against the supervisor to run the hospital, leaving the board completely powerless.

Huron County Council replanting 1,000 trees By Sharon Dietz Huron County Council recommendedto its development committee at its June meeting that a minimum of 1,000 trees be planted when the committee issues an order to • replant trees. For some time now, council has been concerned about the number . of ap- plications for exception to the tree cutting bylaw; which have beenbrought before the development • committee. The comm i ttee's June report showed they considered seven applications this month. Stanley Reeve Paul Steckle told council it seems people want to extend themselves as far as the bylaw permits. In many cases when the committee permits a farmer to remove a lot of trees, they request the farmer to replant 100 trees. Mr. gtedde. said he questions whether 100 trees are worth planting and what ensures the trees will live, he asked. Mr. Steckle commented he appreciates the concern of farmers that large machinery does, not operate well around trees, but he said he is also concerned about the problems of erosion and top soil blowing away, Tom Cunningham, chair- man of the development committee, pointed out that the bylaw is explicit; if trees are encouraged to die through neglect or some other reason, the committee has the power to order they be replanted again. Cunningham went on to say the new ruling may prevent the replanting of trees in some cases, If there isn't room to plant 1,000 trees, said Cunningham, it is possible the committee will recommend none be planted. Reeve Steckle observed planting the trees six feet apart in rows six feet apart would permit 1,800 trees to be planted per acre. He said he doesn't find the new ruling out of line in this respect. wants togetint of puhnipgti"'" ; 01P__' V1.01!..„4:' r'7t-!4411,S, ' • hospital. feeling,l.

Volunteers needed for study on breast cancer The local unit of the Canadian Cancer Society is looking for a busload of women between the ages of 40 and 59 who are willing to take part in a national study • to aid in the detection of breast cancer. The study, being carried out at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, is aimed at determining over, five years whether breast x-rays ( mammograms) can detect breast tumors soon enough to reduce death among middle-aged women. A bus has been booked to go to Mount Sinai from Wingham on Oct, 13 and the society hopes to find enough volunteers to fill it. In all, the $9 -million study is seeking 90,000 healthy volunteers from across Canada. Half will be given mammograms for five years; the other half will have physical examinations alone. All will be taught to examine their own breasts properly. To date 7,000 women from Ontario have volunteered for the study. The selection of those candidates to have mammo- grams is done by a computer programmed to matoh the women in each group. Study results should 'give doctors More information about who runs the higbest risk of developing breast cancer, so future screening programs can be aimed at that group. Women volunteering for the project must have passed their 40th birthday but not their 60th, must not have had a mammogram in the past year, must not be pregnant,. must not have had breast cancer and must be willing to return to Mount Sinai once a year for five years. The exa mina t ion , which takes only about 15 minutes, will be split i nt o morning and afternoon shifts so the women can use most of their spare time for shopping or touring the art gallery and other attractions. The research program is being supported by agencies including the federal • Ministry of Health and Welfare, the National Cancer Institute, the Ontario Ministry of Health and the Ontario division of the Canadian Cancer Society. . • ••, • The campaign may soon be available in Hamilton as well as Toronto. It is being publicized through the media as well as by family doctors, employers including the Hudson Bay Company, the T. Eaton Company and a number of life insurance • firms. Interested women Are invited to call Louise Welwood at 357-1809. It is hoped that through programs such as this, cancer can be beaten.
