The main floor of the house, which includes a kitchen, living room, parlour and bedroom, will be furnished the way it was in the early 19th century. The Mennonite Historical Society of Ontario and Conrad Grebel College are looking after this aspect of the project. Its estimated cost is be- tween $5,000 and $10,000. Dr. Fretz says very few of the furnishings already acquired were bought from antique deal- ers. Many people, including descendants of the Brubachers, have donated furniture. However, the house is still in need of small artifacts, Half of the top prize win- ners of this year's actuarial examinations were stu- dents of the University of Waterloo. Prizes are award- ed to the top students writ- ing the parts I, 2 and 3 exams: the exams are con- ducted by the Society of Actuaries on behalf of the Canadian Institute of Ac- tuaries.
