Barn Raising -
It was felt that ~)out $500. had been saved by having the
Gas Barn raised at this event.
So far Mr. coo1~ had not been able to ascertain why the
~(iwanis had failed to provide the refreshments as promised.
Mrs. Earle voiced disapproval of the report on the Barn
Raising in the Toronto Daily Star. She felt that, in
future, reporters should be asked t:o get their inforIDa tion
from Board sources to prevent such erroneous matter being
published again. v7hilst agreeing that such a policy should
be followed, other Board members felt that a letter of
thanks should be sent to Miss Anne Wanstall asking her also
to pass on the Board's gratitude to the Star for giving the
Museum the publicity.
A letter of tharu~s for his leadership at the Barn Raising
is also to be sent to Mr. Morley Symes.
5. Histor¥ In Action,-
It was suggested that t1r. Marshall query whether it would
be possible to place a temporary sign some distance from
the Musew« to attract attention on such special events as
History In Action.
Mr. Cook suggested that games be organized for this year's
event I such as pin-driving I which had proved very popular
at the Barn Raising. After discussion it was decided that
this would be feasible and that lO¢ a pin would be charged
and that Mr. Miller should ask Mr. Art Hall to make mallets
for sale at $3.00 each and to run this activity.
