Mr. Hopkinson died in a plane crash not far from the airport nine years ago and his family took' over operation of the airport business. Reeve Paul Carrol of Goderich had claimed the runway and other facilities at the airport have been deteriorating and he had no doubt it would "fall apart" by. 1986. He said he was not prepared to propose any solution now, but the matter needed further action. Minutes of the fact hinditfg meeting niade public last Tl ui s - day named the Hopkinson estate as registered owner of the airport and noted several liens against the property. Cruickshank family interests of Wingham were said to have made a valid offer to pur- chase Sky Harbor, with the promise to maintain it according to the county's conditions. The family is the former owner of the 0 Wingham CKXIX radio and tele- vision facilities. No other details of the liens or purchase offer have been released An offer by the Cruickshank family of Wingham to purchase Sky Harbor Airport at Goderich was not considered in a recent meetingat Goderich to deliberate the future of the airport by a committee of Huron County Council. In a letter to Goderich Town Council the committee for county planning and development stated. conditions under which the county sold the airport to the present owners in 1961 are being met and no further action would be taken at this time. Located on a high plateau just north of the Maitland River valley at Goderich, the airport is considered vital to the growth of the town and is of interest to most -cominunities-in--the *county,.._. The question of the airport's status and ownership was re- ferred to the development com- mittee after a, "fact finding" meeting held at Goderich . two weeks ago. • Huron County sold the airport How's Your Nearing?

Some localities in southwestern Ontario run as low as 44.9 cents on regular grade with the price coming up about a cent every 30 miles this way from Sarnia. The increase is brought about, some say, by the cost of distribution from the refineries there. Gaso- line unshipped at Goderich does not seem to reflect any saving at the retail level as far as could be ascertained here. Dealers are reluctant to talk about gasoline prices and cer- tainly don't want to be quoted. There seems to he a lot of feed- back from customers and nobody appears to ,be laughing. Dealers here generally claim no support from suppliers for any reduction in prices, and any re- duction is an immediate loss of revenue to the local operators, regardless of what might be done in gas wars elsewhere. Under the circumstances, the best bet is , .o check the 'car- buretor, ° clean and space the plugs, overinflate the tires by two pounds and hope for the best.
