A petition signed by Clayton H. Ed-
ward, Thos. Swarts and Wm. L Fes -
gait. arcing that a bylaw be passed
regulating taxis within the town limits,
was accompanied by a letter from F.
Doaneliy setUeg forth the situation
from the standpoint of the petitioners.
It was pointed out tbat the petitioners
are engaged In the operation of taxis
as a business all the year round, and
they desire protection against the com-
petition of persons who operate only L
the summer months. They sat that
the number of licenses granted he tr
stricted, and that licenses be iesaef
only to those who are prepared to MN

A telegram from the Bell Telephone
Ou. asking tbat the council make a de -
codon by September Lt regarding the
Company's proposal to reconstruct Its
lines In the east end of the town, so
that the work may be completed this
fall, gave rise to another discussion
the cost of poles to be used jointly for
telephone and Hydro purposes.
Councillor Humber referred to au
opinion given by the Hydro engineer
In favor of joint use of the poles. The
Telephone Company was willing to put
up all the required poles at its own
expense—It was the council that ob-
jected to a double line of poles, result-
ing in the suggestion for joint use.
Councillor Humber ventured the
matter to committee of the whole
council.
A letter from the Heaton Publish -
Ing Co., Toronto, with reference to the
Heaton Handbook, was sent to the
Mance committee.

reached one way or another.
An exchange ensued between Coun-
cillors HuOkins and Humber, the form-
er stating that tbe reason the work
bad been held up was that the similar
work In the west end of the town had
not been well done—the Company had
"put a row of lead pencil. down West
greet." He thought the Company
should pay the entire cost of new poles,
Instead of asking that Hydro pay half

"Wake Up, Goderich!"
Suitor The Signal.
Sir.—What is the matter with God-
erich? While other towns have been
holding their reunions and other big
days, Goderich has been sitting quiet ,
all 'summer. This is the first year '
i can remember- and I'm no chicken
—when we did not have a Ilominlon
Day celebration. The horse races
brought a crowd to town, but horse
racing appeals to only a section of
the people --It doesn't take the place
of a real community day with every-
body Interested.
We try to get summer visitors here,
and when they come we do nothing to
give them a good time. We're am
deed se Inst year's calendar. Why
couldn't we hare a day of water
sports- a regatta or whatever you
want to call It? 1t won't pay, they
sey. Well, doe's it have to pay?
Would not the merehante donate
prise.? and there would not he much
et her ex peiftae.
if not a regatta, let's have a carnival,
athletic .ports. a tattoo --anything to
show the world w. re alive and to give
our visitors some entertainment.

There is hope for tbe fears of the
younger geueratlon. Not i are with-
out a sense of decency, as .the local
chief of pollee evidently was led to
believe by his observation of scantily -
clad bathers at the beach.
On Sunday Bert MacDonald, man-
ager of the bathing hoe at the beach,
rented a modern "cutaway" suit to a
young man. In a few momenta the
chap returned aid, In an embarrassed
tone, *eked for another suit. It
wasn't too small, but he wanted one
that covered more of him, he explained,
■s he pointed to the scarcity of mater-
ial In the back snd sides.
Those hearing the request. tbe ma-
jority of whom were attired only In
trunks, excused Bert his banging jaw
and popping eyes as he went on the al-
most hopeless tisk of unearthing an
"old;tlmer" for the youth.
LIVE WIRES BEACH PARTY
On Tuesday afternoon and evening
the Live Wire Group of the C.G.I.T.
of Knox Presbyterian church held a
party at the beach, under the super-
vision of their leader, Mrs. A. Taylor.
After a period of swimming a camp-
fire was' lighted and a wiener roast
was held, while happy reminiscences
of Camp Klntall were exchanged. The
party was cloned with the eiugiug of

Grievous Are the
Troubles -of Youth
?rank Vines, Despite gni --meas_
Record, Too Young for a
Pilot's License
Contestee t0 press report., Frank
Vises. fifteen -year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. G. Vines, Pic•ton street has
not been grounded by the liepartment
of Civil Aviation. "We are the ones
who are grounded," explained Mr. and
Mrs. Vines, who pointed out to The
Signal that "Canada's youugeat avia-
tor" merely has been checked up too
far as taking passengers 1s c'onc'erned
and be must stay within the three-
mile limit st London while flying solo.
Prauk bas more than one bundred
hours In the •ir, and almost ninety of
ensu--wera.aolo. ..tie __tbf. 'e-
nearly enough hours In the air for a
eommerclil pilot's license, which he
will not be able to take out for aa -
other four years. Neither can be take
out a pilot's license, as he Is two
years under the minimum age of seven-
teen. And this In spite of his veter-
an experience.
Frank erllhatte be has travelled
1,800 mile. on erose -country trips. Re-
cently he had breakfast at London,
dinner in the officers' mess at Camp
Borden and supper at Hamilton, then
returned to London the same day. It
Irks lath his parents and the young
ace to think that there are so many
licensed pilots with so mueb less ex-
perlense than has the youngster. Age
seems to be the chief stfpulatlon.
Mr. Vines sported his disgust as be
warmed up to his subject. He pointed
out that a man, or anyone over seven-
teen, merely has to have two hours
solo. cut a figure eight, spin and land.
and he gets his pilot's iteense, whereas
Frank bas nearly 100 solo hours and
has not even scratched a plane. In
addition, he has won several contests
over older and more experienced pilots.
"It'. time they made some drastic
changes In the regulations and re-
qulrements. to keep abreast of the
times." said Mr. Vines, senior. "it's
as bed as Goderfcb's 1907 bathing reit
