ON THE SQUARE
AND ....HERE AND THERE
Labor Day is .Monday for adults
but for School children- it is ac
tually the following day, Tuesday,
when the call back to school desks
for another term will be sounded.
We're back to work after a brief
Week's holiday. Made the colossal
mistake of going to Detroit where
a steady 97 degree temperature
caused us to "throw in the sponge"
and head back to Goderich after
four days of enduring , the heat
there last week. By comparison,
the lake breeze -bathed temperature
of Goderich late last Friday night
after arriving from sweltering De-
troit, was heavenly. Never so glad
to get back to Goderich beforq
Realize how lucky one is to live
here.
When our wrist watch stopped
on arrival at Detroit Monday of
last week we evert blamed that on
the heat. Went to Hudson's Store
on Woodward Avenue to check on
the cause. We were told the watch
needed cleaning. How much? It
would cost $6.50, the man said.
"$6.50!", we said, quite surprised,
then mentioned a considerably
lower figure which we ,said we paid
to have it cleaned the last time in
Goderich. "Why that's the price
for cleaning a watch I charged
when I left Goderich for Brantford
in 1908," said the man. We didn't
know the prices back in 1908 so
we took him at his word but didn't.
leave it for cleaning anyway be-
cause it wouldn't be done "for
three' weeks" and we didn't want
to stay in Detroit for even that
number of days and melt away in
the sun. The man who waited on
us turned out to be a former Gode
rich resident, George E. Thurlow,
manager of the jewelry repair
department at the J. L. Hudson
Company. When he learned we
were from Goderich he took time
out to recall former days at Gode-
rich and even went so far as to do
u temporary job- on the watch to
make it run again—and with no
charge for same—because we were
from his old home town of Gode-
rich.
Received a press pass from the
Detroit Tigers Baseball Club and
had a top notch seat- behind the
home plate. Saw New York Yank-
ees Tuesday afternoon of last week
toy around with -the Tigers in a
scoreless series of innings. Then
the Yanks turned on the heat in
extra innings and mechanically
came home in front by a 6-4 score.
More interesting than the pre-
cision playing ball game to us was
the varied collection of spectators
and the type of comments • they
hurled at the players and umpires.
Learning that there was a bene-
fit performance for Howard Car-
roll, a Detroit Yachtsman visiting
Goderich on Saturday and who
didn't even know Howard, handed
Bert MacDonald three dollars to
turn over to the cause. Bert also
said a boatload of people came up
from Detroit Saturday purposely
to attend the benefit performance.
It's seven years now since the
writer of this column came to
Goderich. We recall that one of
our first assignments was to 'cover
a band tattoo at Agricultural Park.
The band tattoo here on August
20 recalled that night seven years
ago. Before we came to the Huron
County seat from London we were
told there were many bootleggers
in Goderich. Then, of, course, we
associated Goderich with ships
bringing in cargoes of stuff to
Goderich. The association of these
two must have made an imprint
on our mind. When we returned
to -the Signal -Star office to write up
the band tattoo account we wrote
that one of the numbers played by
a . band was "Inward Cargo. Ac-
tually, however, it was the Scot-
tish number, "Invercargill" but we
put entirely too much "Scotch"
into the title. Incidentally, the
band .tattoo this year was 'a most
creditable one and both Goderich
bands did themselves proud.
This week the Goderich Summer
Figure Skating School said fare-
well for tho. season—and we hope
it's just for the season—to Gode-
rich. We hope they will be back
again with us next year, although
no definite announcement has been
made to this effect as yet. Asking
several of the girl skaters how
they liked Goderich, tliey replied
at first they found it somewhat
quiet hut as time went on they
grew to like Goderich ver, much.
Tfie attendance at the Ice Revues
was not as large as had been ex-
pcctrd by Mr. Lew Elkin, versatile
director of • the school. At Strat-
ford last year the figure skating
school revues started off with
small public attendance but as the
season progressed the crowds grew
larger, finally ending off with ca-
acity houses. The 'same thing
happened at Goderich except that
the crowds were not capacity ones
on the last lap. Such summer. en-
tertainment is new to Goderich,
however, and it takes tipie for the
people to realize how entertaining
and refreshing it is. By next seas- !summer pitt on an excellent exhibit•

Mrs. N. Clairmont Wins
"Good -Will" Contest
Amassing . a stupendous number
of votes -4,611,550 to be exact—
Mrs. Norman Clairmont won the
Goderich "Good -Will" Shopping
Club Contest athich ended at noon
on Saturday, August 22. Mr. 1R.
L. Taylor, of Galt, who conducted
the contest through the medium
of the Signal -Star, commented that
of the 40 towns in Ontario and
Quebec where he has put on the
same kind of a contest in past.
years no other centre has ever
had a winner with such a eom-
manding lead over the other con-
testants.
As winner, Mrs. Clairmont re-
reived a new television set from
Wilf Reinhart Electric and Tele-
vision. "Just a month before the
contest ever started," said Mrs.
Clairmont to the Signal -Star, "my
husband and I were talking of
how nice it would be to have a
television set but we felt it would
be beyond our 'means for at least
the next ten years."
Asked how it felt to be the
winner, Mrs. Clairmont said, "It's
marvellous. We were so surprised
at such' a. landslide. Although, I
live in town I found the rural
people by the hundreds helped me:
I found votes turned in for me
from Lticknow, Hensall, Auburn,
Dungannon, Colborne Township
and ever so • many rural centres.
I even received votes from as far
away as Kitchener and Ottawa.
"On • Saturday night ever . so
many people stopped me on the
Square — people whom I never
even knew—and congratulated me.
It sure has been like a great tonic
for both me and my. husband, Nor•
man, to win.
"A contgot. like this sure opens
your eyes on how kind people can
be. In addition to those, who
brought me many votes there were
many people who brought me small _
numbers of votes but it wasn't just
the coupons that people whom 1
never knew before brought in but
the fine feeling their gestures
brought to me."
Mrs: Harold Doak,. South street,
rolled up" a substantial total of
1,645,700 votes' to place second.
She also turned in the largest
number of new Signal -Star sub-
scriptions, 37' in all.

Unique Floral Clock
Is Strange Invention
Maybe Rube Goldberg thought
he was the only one who could
think up weird inventions, but J.
H. Neill, curator of the Huron
County Museum in Goderich, could
give Rube a run for his money.
Mr- Golllberg, who is famous for
his drawings of inventions featur-
ing little animals running on tread-
mills, sliding , doors and various•
-other contraptions,.might learn a
few new tricks if he had a look
at the floral clock Mr. Neill has
in operation on the lawn of the
museum. •
He.. doesn't rely on little animals
to keep the clock going, but Mr.
Neill has used parts from various
machines -- and the clock keeps
perfect time.
The floral clock project was
started about five years ago- while
Mr. Neill was living at Gorrie.
In his spare -time he worked away
at the mechanism, attached it to
an electric motor" and adjusted the
works until it kept time.
Metal Flower Pots.
When he came to Goderich as
curator of the Museum, Mr. Neill
brought. the clock with him and
decided he'd install it on the
lawn of the historic centre. • Over
the past three years, he has made
metal flower pots in the shape of
numerals and this year he got the
clock in operation once again and
planted the flowers around the face
of the timepiece.
But it's the mechanism of the
machine that astounds visitors.
An electric motor is about the
only orthodox piece of machinery.
From the motor the machine works
through a cream separator which is
connected to the rear end of a
Model T Ford. "The remainder
of the gears," says Mr. Neill, "are
made of parts of bicycles, sbwing
machines and windmills."
In operation from 9 a.m..to 9
p•m. each day, the unique clock has
attracted hundreds of visitors to.
the museum.
"Some of the people from .town
are using it to set their watches,"
he says. "They stop their cars at
the curb, dash across the Iawn and
'check the clock several times each
day."
Next year Mr. Neill plans to put
a different design of ' flowers and
intends to keep working at the
clock until he gets the most at-
tractive flowers possible.
YOUTH INJURED
-A Goderich youth was taken -to
Alexandra Marine and General
Hospital for X-rays Tuesday to
determine if any serious injury'
had been caused in an accident in
which he— was involved Monday. -
The youth, William Kirkey, driving
a bicycle, collided at the intersec-
tion of Victoria street and Huron
road with a car driven by Arnold
Hodges, of Port Albert. No charges
were laid. Constable A. Summers
of the town detachment, Ontario
Provincial Police, investigated.
MoreThan $1,200 ileilized
At Benefit Skating Show
Citizens of Goderich and vicinity
opened up their hearts and their
pocketbooks last Saturday night
as over 2,000 at the final skating
show in Goderich Memorial Arena
contributed more than $1,200
as a benefit for Howard Carroll,
popular Goderich man who was
injured recently in an accident at
the harbor.
For several days prior to the
skating performance, workers had
been out selling tickets and gather-
ing money for the big benefit night.
The total amount raised was the
result of the huge ticket sale and
collections made at the arena dur-
ing the show.
The " performance •culiliinated
nine weeks of training by over 80
students who attended the summer
figure skating school operated by
Mr. and - Mrs. Lewis Elkin, of Buf-
falo.
And the show was one of the
best seen at the local ice. palace
during, the summer.
One of the highlights was the
skating of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Rushka,
of Indianapolis. �he two skaters,
who were instruc ors during the
r
Kirali Skates.
Ede Kirali, the popular skater
who scored such a hit a few weeks
ago in a solo performance, was on
hand once again and put on a dis-
play of fancy skating which gave
an indication of why he ranks so
high among the world's skaters.
Young Elaine Richards, of Osh-
awa, skated in her comedy "Grand-
ma" role once again and -• proved
to be a crowd-pleaser.
The Goderich Chordsmen were
on hand to provide the music while
Mrs. Donald Rivers provided fine
accompaniment at the Hammond
Organ.
'The benefit night was made pos-
sible through the generous co-op-
eration of Mr. and Mrs. Elkin and
Officials of the Goderich Summer
Figure Skating School.
' Among the men who worked
hard to make the night a success
were J. H. Kinkead, E. E. Cranston,
Harold Bettger and Guy Emerson.
Special thanks was extended by
officials in charge of the event to
the many people wv�hit turned out
for the show and who bought tick-
ets and who contributed to the
collections. • ,

RISING TO THE OCCASION
"I don't know what I've ever •done to deserve this.
Goclerich is a pretty nice place to live in after all."
So said Howard Carroll to his wife after she told him
more than $i,200 hadbeen raised as proceeds from an ice
revue at the arena Saturday night for his benefit. ,In his
bed at Victoria Hospital, London, Howard fought to hold
back tears of emotion which flooded hisremaining eye, the
other eye having been removed as a result of serious injuries
sustained in a mishap at Goderich harbor a few weeks ago.
Official reports reveal Howard is now progressing
favorably although the severe injuries he received might well
have been fatal. He •will , return home soon for a short
'period of convalescence, after . which he will again go back
to hospital for further treatment.
The capacity crowd which attended the benefit per-
formance at the arena was touching evidence of the goodness
of heart of the people of Goderich and district. True,' the
hot weather and the fact that it was the last ice revue of
the season helped to swell the crowd. But the fact remains
that by far the larger number of people were there because
they had a genuine desire to express sympathy in a• tangible
way. Scores of others purchased tickets but, for various
reasons, were unable to.. attend. It was truly a magnificent
-gesture:
Howard Carroll gave unstintingly of his time and
effort to train the Squirts' hockey team last winter. Obviously,
he never - fully realized the extent -of the "appreciation for his
efforts on the youngsters' behalf felt by the parents and
relatives_ of these young boys and also by a host of other
admirers. This appruciatioirbroke out •into full bloom When
these people learned of Howard's unfortunate` mishap. A
movement was started which gathered spiced and spread out
into various channels to finally end with a resounding benefit
performance. -
it was a real credit to the people' of Gikt4rich and"
district.
It's Labor Day,,celebration time
again, and Goderich is looking for-
ward to one of the biggest cele-
brations as thousands of visitors
are expected to swell the popula-
tion of the town.
Once again, the big -morning
event will be the calithumpian
parade, featuring bands, floats, de.
corated vehicles and, clowns. •
The parade will form • up. at
Judith Gooderham Memorial, Play-
ground at 10 a.m. and will move
off headed by the Goderich Girls'
Trumpet Band, the Blue Water
Band and the Mount Forest Pipe
Band.
The marchers, floats and others
in the parade will move around the
Square and a large crowd is ex-
pected to be on hand to witness
the colorful event.
There will be prizes for the best
floaandts cars,dfarmers''eentries and best
fancy dress.
Children's Races
Following the parade there will
be a few speeches at the Court r.

the excitement will start for the
younger folk with the races sche-
duled to get underway after the
