In memory of Barbara Phair and Lillian smi th The memory of two fine people will continue to grow and flourish at the Scugog Shores Museum, a place that was dear to the hearts of both of them. In a simple, yet dignified and touching ceremony at the Museum last Sunday afternoon, Lillian Smith and Barbara Phair were remembered and honoured by fami- ly and friends. Two small trees, recently planted in front of the Museum's Greenbank House, were dedicated in their memory, trees that will serve for many years to come as a living reminder of the good, the generosi- ty and the decency that characteriz- ed Lillian Smith and Barbara Phair. Lillian passed away last February and Barbara last October. Both had been devoted volunteers for the Scugog Shores Museum located on Scugog Island, just east of Port Perry. This is the first time that trees have been planted and dedicated in honour of persons closely associated with the Museum. The location of the two trees in the opposite corners of the garden in front of the Greenbank (Lee) House is of special significance as both Lillian and Barbara spent endless hours working in that house which offers visitors a fascinating and realistic glimpse of pioneer life in this part of Ontario.

May sth Comverted Yvonne Christie, a member of the Historical Society and Scugog coun- cillor for Ward 1 said the dedication of two trees is "a practical thing to do in memory of two wonderful women.' Jean Nodwell, a long-time and dear friend of Lillian's told those gathered for the occasion that Lillian was 'absolutely unselfish," the kind of person who would see a need and offer to volunteer to help any way she could. She noted Lillian's countless hours of work to improve the health of Susan Durward, a young woman seriously injured in an accident several years ago. And she said that Lillian and hus- band Roy were familiar figures in and around Port Perry selling raf- fle tickets for any number of worthy organizations such as the Diabetic Association and the Historical Society. Her work for the Museum was well kn. . "She did everything very well, whether it was painting or guiding or craft demonstrations, or sewing anything from curtains to aprons to a corner for a covered wagon." Mrs. Nodwell closed her tribute by calling Lillian a "very unusual and inspiring woman." The tribute to Barbara Phair was given by Claudette Brock who call- ed her a "loving, dedicated, tireless being of great physical and spiritual strength, a very dear, dear friend." Mrs. Brock noted that Barbara had been associated with the Museum and the Historical Society (Turn to page 6) Town Hall 1873 holds annual director meet Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, Town Hall 1873 closed the '85-86 winter season with the annual board meeting. Held last week at Emiel's, this meeting gave each of the Hall's several committes the opportunity to report the year's undertakings in detail. High-lighted was the program committee under the chairmanship of Margaret Van Camp. The sellout '85-'86 subscription series was reported as a complete suctess, having begun with the Famous Peo- ple Players and ended with Moe Koffman's gala concert. The '87 series looks equally promising. The Hall also saw physical changes, with an extension to the stage being build and storms being | installed on all upper windows. Considerable use of the Hall has been made throughout the operating year, not only by its resident groups- -the Scugog Choral Society, the Borelians Community Theatre, and the Diet Workshop--but also by oc- casional rentals as well. All of this necessitates continuous maintenance by the Hall's ap- pointed Directors, notably Mort Symington. on maintenance and David Sparling and Gord Lee on property. Bookings are handled by Lynn Relf and promotion by Brad Heintzman and Ray Nash. The Annual Meeting closed with the election of officers and commit- 815 King St.W.
