None was acted upon after Thursdays final debate, butcouncil called upon the town to "provide spe- cial parking stickers to be issued to members of county council and courthouse em- ployees." This was the recom- mendation of the property corn - committee, presented by Reeve A. D. Smith of Turnberry. An earlier committee report had proposed only to ask the town to provide "adequate parking facilities" for persons attend- ing the courthouse. New ideas: Erect an ad- ministrative building elsewhere; Hold one -day sessions in other towns; Carve enough from the border of courthouse park to give county council its own parking. "We have given this very serious consideration," Chair- man Smith said of the parking sticker recommendation, "be- cause it is a very serious mat- ter to county councillors. The more you talk to former coun- ty councillors the more you find out there was sonic agree- ment or verbal arrangement made that we were supposed to have parking in Goderich when this building was put here. However, we came up with this recommendation, that county council and officers he given stickers and the priv- ilege of parking on the Square. "Since that time, 1 have re- ceived suggestions from a num- OVERNIGHT FREIGHT We haul to and from Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchen- er, London, Stratford arid Woodstock.

The suggestion now is that we make this an admini- strative building and build it some other place where the parking problem won't be so great, "Another is that we follow the pattern in Bruce and rotate meetings between towns, es- pecially December and March which are one -day meetings and for which other municipal- ities feel they could provide parking accommodation. "I am not suggesting these alternatives, but I offer them for your consideration, because it is a serious matter, and we think some consideration should be given the council and em- ployees of this building, be- cause I am told the payroll in this building amounts to 8250, - 000 to 8300, 000 a year, which is a nice little industry for God- erich. However, as I said the other day, we are not going to get into an argument with God- erich and tell them what to do, and the committee felt it had to come up with some other plan." Reeve Glenn Webb said he was concerned with people who have court business at the court- house - lawyers and witnesses involved often for more than two hours. Mr. Smith said that matter had also given the committee concern but they could not come up with an an- swer, because they did not know how to speak for these people. Mr. Haskins said he believed) the town has the privilege of holding court there, which oth- er towns do not have, and may- be they could consider that. Reeve Agnew, Clinton: "It would be a good idea to move around, and if you want to come to Clinton we will give you free parking, We do that for the magistrate's court, right in the centre of the town, If you are considering these things, don't forget Clinton . be glad to co-operate." Deputy Reeve Jewell, God- crich:" I appreciate very much the suggestion the gentleman has brought, As I said the other day, we are very happy to have the courthouse here, and as far as I am concerned I will do my very best," Mr. Smith remarked, "Someone suggested we take more land off the inside of the park and make another car ring or so, added to the width of the Square." The warden replied, "The town is proud of courthouse park and would not likely want to change it, but no doubt they would consider it," NEW POST OFFICE OPENED MONDAY WROXETER--Monday morn* ing marked the opening of Wroxeter's new post office in the former poolroom with the new postmaster and this wife, Mr. and Mrs. John Clarke, commencing their new duties.

GOOD RELATIONS It is important that a child should have good relations with others in the same age bracket. If he gets along well with his contemporaries and learns the give and take of team play, he will have a happier childhood and grow up with a greater sense of security than one who is not popular with his classmates. Parents should not try to make an in- dividualist of a youngster by insisting that he wear unusual clothes and being too strict in the matter of his choice of friends.
