The letter continues with a description of life in England as the Killgores have found it. Concluding paragraph of the letter reads: Britain has never seemed strange to Mrs. Killgore, maybe because all her ancestors were British. "When I was small there were lots of cockneys in Goderich. My father employed some in his grain elevator busi- ness and the wives worked in the homes, so cockney isn't new to me."

Protests Closing Road to Beach In Colborne Township Following is a copy of a letter addressed to the Reeve and Coun- cil of Colborne Township and sent to the Signal -Star from a resident of R.R. 3, Goderich, with the. nota- tion, "I felt that the publication a this letter might be of interest to the taxpayers of Colborne Town- ship." It reads: The Reeve and Council of Colborne Township. Gentlemen: I have read with surprise your recent proposal to institute a by- law to close the unopened road allowance to the beach at Lot 1, Colborne Township. I do not classify this road in any different way to the other unopened roads leading to the beach. To my mind any one of these unopened roads has the same potentialities. For some years lake front property has been pur- chased on a large scale by private individuals svho have built their own roadways and are jealous of theirs,own, private thoroughfares ' It becomes incraasingly difficult for the public to gain any access to the public land on the beaches without subjecting themselves to the embarrassment of trespassing. Some years ago there was a ' great deal of discussion about ship who enjoyed summer picnics and recreation at the beaches and it was felt at that time that there should be some way for them to take advantage of the beaches without having to find their own ' way to them. In other words, it was felt that at least one -road in the Township should be completed; giving access onto the beach, Nothing more has been heard of that proposition and it is surpris- ing that the elected repretenta- byes of the residents of Colborne. Township now see fit to decide to close off what might be a very beneficial thoroughfare for the re- sidents of the ,Township. I believe that until such time as the Council decides on the opening of one road .keeping In mind what site 'could be opened with the least amount of sgork and ex- penditure - that no legal action should be taken by the Council to close any roads. I do,not think Wet the Council could conscient- iously make any such move until they have seen to it that the Col- borne Township citizens have un- restrained access to the recreation at their. own lake front. It should be possible for any I. family in the Township to decide I to spend an afternoon on the lake I and to be able to travel by public road to where.they can have eaf-4y access to the lake without having I to suffer the embarrassment of finding their way through the num- erous "Private" signs which quite of the lake front. rightfully protect such a large arca A.
