can find no authority for the 1:1useum to seJ.l memberships
to the public. In -the discussion that followed mention
was rn,3.de of the Art Gallery in Oshawa v-lhich has sole member-

facilities.

70 INDIAN DIGGINGS -
As a :>:esul t of IvIr. 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. It ''las
suggested that the possibility of erecting a plaque on
this site might suffice. Mr. Parkin mentioned that there
vlere a nUlP.ber of similar sitE;s in the TO'i-vnship ~¡¡hich are
no·t knovm to the public. He was '>'lOndering whether these
should be identified. 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.

11. }\CC2SSION CARD -
i·117S. Earle mentiŒ"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.
