which either already have or else plan to locate elsewhere, chiefly in cities. It is eOntidently expeOed, however, that one

"We think the international situ-

FORMER GODERICH GIRL
GETS USED TO ENGLAND
Writing from London, England,
to The Signal -Star, Jean Wright
tells about "A Goderich girl, form-
erly Miss Winnifred Shepherd, now
Mrs. Earl Killgore, living in Glou-
cester Road, London."
When the family first arrived
in July, 1950, Lieut. -Col. Killgore
was with the Joint American Mi
itary Advisory Group. 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
