Goderich to wartime unity

All that remains of His Majesty's Canadian Ship
Goderich is her brass bell that hangs mute in a
corner of Legion Branch 109. Yet, it is a syr. colic
tribute to the unity of the people of Goderich with
its fighting services during wartime. A spirit of
unity that is almost inconceivable today.
The HMCS Goderich was one of over 50
Bangor class minesweepers commissioned
for the Royal Canadian Navy during the
Second World War. When it was learned
that a naval vessel was to be named `God-
erich,' the town enthusiastically rallied to
support its namesake.

a moving

The Huron County Health Unit re-
cently announced the cancellation of
H 1 N 1 vaccine clinics in Huron County
for the remainder of the week.
Monday afternoon, the Health Unit
said it would have to cancel scheduled
clinics in Exeter and Wingham this
week after the last of its available 9,000
doses of the vaccine were used up.
"We will reschedule clinics as we
learn more from the Ontario Ministry
of Health this week," said chief medi-
cal officer Dr. Nancy Cameron.
The province -wide vaccine shortage
has made clinic scheduling a moving
target. Last Friday, Cameron said the
unit was unsure whether or not they had
enough vaccine coming to open clinics
up to the general public.
"Clinics across Huron remain high-
priority only at the moment," Cameron
said Friday. General public
clinics in Goderich have
been tentatively scheduled
to begin Nov. 16 at the
Suncoast Mall, however,
Cameron added that the
health unit is waiting on
direction from the Ministry
of Health and Long Term
