New branch
under way
New Goderich branch office •
of British Mortga..ge & Trust
Company will be ready for ov-
cupaney this summer, W. P.
Gregory, •QC", executive vice-
president and M anaging di-
rector, announced this week.
Located in a commanding po-
sition on Highway No, S, at the
eatrance to the Goderieh busi-
ness district, the building's de-
sign is both striking and un-
usual.
.The interior of the graceful-
ly modern building will be
completely visible from We ex-
terior. Three curved limestone
walls, laid out in a triangular
pattern, will appear to float
over a 7'6" high continuous,
double-glazed, pluminu rn-
framed window.
Between the curved stone
walls, at the points of the tri-
angle, the glazing will run
from the floor to a 13-font high
ceiling,. Above these high win-
dows, a deep granite fascia
will link the curved stone ••
walls. So that the friendly
transparency of the building is
not destroyed, glazed walls are
used to divide We offices from
the main savings department.
Privacy will be insured by
soft, handwoven curtaining.

Citizens can help police in
three ways, says Patrol Sgt.
Saunders,
Both police and public would
benefit if witnesses realized
the importance of the tiniest
and supposedly most trivial
scrap of information, For in-
stance, knowing the age and
sex of the driver can be in-
valuable to police,
Some witnesses could help a
lot more if they would write
down what they see, especially
licence. numbers which are
harder to remember than
people think,
Witnesses should not disturb
the scene of the accident and
should prevent others from do-
ing so until police arrive. Bits
of glass, paint or metal are
invaluable to police when turn-
ed over to laboratory scientists
for examination. For instance,
scientists can tell from a sliver
of glass, left at the accident
scene, whether police should be
looking .for a North American
or European car and perhaps
the make of car.
