Over 10,000 Mark With this issue the Signal -Star introduces a new dress --the headings on the front page stories. Notice how they stand out bold and black. The difference can best be noted by comparing the front page of this week's Signal -Star with the front page of any previous issue. The new type is known as "Grotesque" and arrived this week from Sheffield, England. Such type heading is made in only two other places in the world -at New York City and Antwerp, Belgium. The addition of this heading type completes the front page dress -up, both Signal -Star linotypes having been equipped last January with new fonts of Erbar Bold which makes the most legibik news type on the market - today.

Huron County Museum on North street continues to be one of the main attractions for visitors to Goderich. lbLast month, 21 schools from vari- ous parts of the province, includ- ing several classes from Goderich c ` Public School, journeyed to the museum to tour the building, see the relics on display and bear from Curator J. H. Neill some of . the interesting history of the county. In all, a total of 528 pupils paid a visit to the tourist centre during the month. During the past two years, according to Mr. Neill, 70 -sehnofs-or-•classes have toured..the_ museum. On Dominion Day, Mr. Neil wel- comed the 2,000th visitor for 1953 to the historic centre. He was George Wilson of Espanola, a member of the R.C.A.F. The total number of visitors during the past two years, to the end of June, is 10,162. With the two summer months yet to be recorded, it seems likely that the museum will exceed its 1952 total of 6,162 visitors The year 1952 was the second year of operation for the museum; in 1951, the year it was first open to the public, there were about 2,000 visitors.

BLUE WATER BRIDGE HAS HEAVY TRAFFIC FLOW Ontario, and especially ecsall the shore of Lake Huron, is becoming more and more a vacation spot for tour- ists from the United States. As an indication of the heavy tours t traffic coming into Ontario, withl.ny of the visitors headed for Hilton County areas, the figures released by the Michigan .state bridge commission indicated that 25,979 cars had passed over the Bluewater Bridge during and im- mediately preceding the • July 4 holiday. I ,AT' THE WATERFRONT' •i1 It's summertime again, and hundreds of swimmers are heading for the Goderich waterfront to take advantage of the warm water and weather, More United States visitors are coming here -and not only by car.

They came from as far away centres as Chicago, Port Clinton, Ohio; Detroit, St. Clair Shore, An- chorville, Grosse Pointe, Pontiac, Richmond, Mich,; Mt. Clemens, Toledo and Findlay, Ohio. All the visitors are happy to see the newly-hardtopped south pier. Only "kick" they seem to have is that they can't seem to get a weather report here. Shipping was active during the week' with the Forestdale and the Sandland arriving on Dominion Day. The Hudson arrived last Friday. Sunday was a busy day as. three freighters, 'the Starbuck, Soodoc and Imperial Cornwall came into port. The Superior was steaming her way here late yesterday afternoon.

Douglas S g s q uir es of Nile played the piano before the service; and dur- ing the offettory, Miss Olive Blake sank a solo, and Howard Blake and Tom Blake sang a duet. Conservatives Will Remove Sales Tax Says Diefenbaker "Canadians have been overtaxed $40 -per person during °the last seven years and we believe the time has come to relieve Can- adians of an unjustifiable, over - burdensome amount of taxation," declared - John Diefenbaker, Pro- gressive Conservative stalwart, ad- dressing a mass meeting in Court House Park at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Mr. Diefenbaker visited Goderich in the interests of Elston Cardiff, Conservative candidate,for Huron, whom he described as "a tower cif strength" at Ottawa, a watch dog in the interest of better markets for farmers and a representative who would "never be on the gide of wrong." The Goderich Girls' Trumpet Band 'headed a"` cavalcade of cars onto the Square and to the band stand where H -.M. Ford was chair- man of the meeting. Mr. Ford called upon Mayor J. E. Huckins who' extended civic' greetings to the visitors. Mr. Cardiff then intro- duced Mr. Diefenbaker. A banquet was held at the British Exchange Hotel at 6 p.m., under the chairmanship of Elmer Bell, Q.C., of Exeter, president of the Western Ontario Progressive Conservative. Dr. K. E.

"The Conservative party has now an appointment with destiny," said Mr. Diefenbaker, as he related the national grievances which he said should be rectified by a new government at Ottawa. "You are being taxed on the needs for your home which we propose to remove," said Mr. Dief- enbaker referring 'to the "hidden" sales tax of ten per cent. He de- plored the loss of the farm markets iQ Britain and expressed the fear the Liberals planned to remove the floor prices on agricultural pro- ducts. Mr. Diefenbaker said agri= cultural prices in Canada had drop- ped "12 per cent in the past year yet the cost of items which farmers need had gone up 5 per cent. •- He deplored the fact that since 1945, although 800,000 immigrants had come to Canada, five have left Canada of every eight that have come in that time. All-out production of agricultur- al needs, development of northern Canada and stopping "one of our major exports -our educated young people," was called for by Mr. Diefenbaker. 00 LA LA I Having achieved world-wide notoriety as a ballet' dancer, Helene Charissb, originally of Paris, France, but who now conducts a school for 300 ballet dancers at Indianapolis, In- diana, is at Goderich aiming at another mark. This time it's in the realm • of figure skating. Although it's her first year to skate, she threat- ens never to leave Goderich until she can do a "figure eight" perfectly. Member of a family of eleven children, her mother insisted on all her children rigorously kerning ballet dancing in Paris during the first world war to take their minds off the terror of Paris being bombarded. • The entire family was brought to the United States later by RKO vaudeville and have made names for themselves in Holly- wood, New York City and throughout the world.
