Halter Kenyon's remarks conc,~rning the historical significance of the Miller Site, Council was interested in knolvil1g whether or not the r,Iuseum Board still felt it necessary to preserve -this site.

He agreed to discuss the matter further with Hr.. Walter Kenyo:1 and report. back tJ the Board. 8. CANADIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION _ The CBC had been in -touch '¡'lith the Curator, r--lrs.. Hay, as 'dell as the Secretary concerning their desire to use the Church on the Museum Grounds for an upcoming CBC production. The film is a drama centred around a Scotish settlement in the late 1700's and much of the story centres around a Church similar to the one on the Museum Grounds. The film- lng is to take place during the month of February. The CBC had asked for permission to paint the walls at the front of the Church as ·the \Alhite plaster would not permit accurate fiL~ing. In addition they wert interested in having the doors on the Church installed and would requre these by the 1st of February. Evidently the correct decoration of the Church entailed the painting of black strips approximately one half inch '¡¡.¡ide in the formation of blocks 16" x 8" against the \Alhi,te plaster. Obviously this would not serve the purpose of the CBC. It:. was agreed that l'lr. Cook negotiate -.;ÿith Mr. Hugh Spencer-Phillips of the CBC concerning the entire operation with a view towards obtaining some form of compensation for the use of the facilities. This could t~<e the fO~1n of publication of History In Action Day celebrations as \Alell as perhaps the completion of the decoration of the Church itself. 9. HORK CRElii - The Chairman presented a proposal for relocating a number of the displays in the Museum \Alhich could be carried out on the day in February when the wODc crew was in attendance. T11ere were varying opinions as to the type of \AlODC that should be carried out at this t~~e and it was suggested that members of the Board consider the matter for the next meeting. 10. ~lIRIHG - - Nr. Cook showed the Board a diagram of the HUSetlffi Grounds on which he had indicated the wiring requirements. The Board was satisfied with the proposal and agreed that bk. Cook proceed on the basis outlined. - j ···3- 11. }\CC2SSION CARD - i·117S. Earle mentiƒ"led -chat future cataloguing should be done througn -the use of an accession card which she ex- plain-ed to the Board. I-t ;,vâS agreed that she proceed on t.his basis and hav'3the necessary cards printed. 12. PRINTING- Nrs" Earle ex;?lainecl that it >,<lOuld be difficult to come up '--lith a reasonable fact sirnilly of the existing letter- Ì12ad 0.3 the copy -that ""ould be photographed was itself a CODV. It. \Vas suggested ·that the matter be put in abeyance ì.1n-cil the spring at ""hich tim-a new photographs could be obta.ined and the new letterhead designed. With regards to printing in general it was felt that this business should be placed locally provided there was no large quantity involved which would necessitate calling tSliders ~ 13. SALZS D2SK It ,;',as pointed out that a strategically located sales desk could contribute in large measure to the revenue of the Board. It was hoped that with the re-arrangement of tl1e HUSelli'TI Building proper that such an outlet could be established. Ort Dotion the meeting adjourned. Dt~'I'ED-·' ;) Chairman Secretary
