Huckins will run for a fourth term of office this year, he' told the Signal -Star this week. Although he has not signified his intention to run again at a council meeting, the mayor said he would definitely contest the office at the December elections, when asked by the Signal -Star.

A new Street is plan- ned to be opened from the new extension of Blake street north to- ward the Public School, with a turn -around at the end of it. Eighteen more houses will be erected on this new street. The site was chosen after a study of the town to determine where the new group of houses could be located. Town Council requested the houses several months ago and already over 70 applications to rent the homes have been received. On a visit to Toronto last week, Mayor J. E. Huckins requested quick action on the project and the planning and development de- partment decided to send repre- sentatives here to speed plans. Make Survey At present, Town Engineer B. M.

Have you ever realized the amount of favorable publicity brought to Goderich by the Goderich Girls' Trumpet Band? The amount is definitely beyond the conception of the average citizen. Have you ever felt, as you thrilled to their impressive performances, that you would like to do something to help them in order to show your appreciation? Do you know that numerous new girls are seeking to get into the band and ,plans are now proceeding to make it a bigger and better band than ever? That the band officials have had to buy more trumpets, drums, bell lyras and 18 new unifordis? That -the total cost will be about $2,000? That the girls hold band practices three nights every week in order to have an outstanding band for next season? It takes money to finance such a band as is planned. The girls are willing to work for that money. They plan to have a collection of WIRE COAT HANGERS for which they have a market. Would you take a few minutes to look through your clothes closets, cellars and attics for wire coat hangers you no longer need? The girls will call from house to house to pick them up. The canvass will start immediately and Wind up on Monday, -November 9. You can help Goderich. and the girls by doing your part. Please help, won't you? Should you care to go beyond this and further help with small cash- donations, all well and good. But the target for the present is the collection of the hangers. , Would you please have them ready when the girls call?
