AND•.. —.HERE HERE AND THERE Butter in particular and dairy products in general are being featured all November in Canada - wide advertising by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. The number of inquiries receiv- ed from industries seeking loca- tions in what bas been termed "the forgotten area of the Pro- vince" has "trebled" since Nation- al Carbon located at Walkerton and Sheaffer Pen at Goderich, ac- cording to J. E. Turnbull of the Ontario Department of Planning, and Development, who visited here last Thursday. The drive-in theatre now being built on the south-east outskirts of Goderich threatens the revenue of the Goderich Baby Sitters' Union. Since young couples can take along their baby with them in the car and gain admission for the price they would have had to pay for a baby sitter, or less, it looks tough for the baby sitters. The theatre will even be equipped with plug - ins to warm up the baby's bottle. The engraving of the Square at the top of this column was made from a picture post ' card. The Signal -Star has been looking around for another such post card with an aerial view of Goderich but finds none are available. They were on sale about two years ago. If any of our readers have a post card of an aerial view of Goderich we would like to borrow same to make a new engraving. It must be in black and white and quite clear, however, and we have .seen none of this particular type about. Lakeside Produce on Hamilton Street made the unique offer of a dollar prize to the ' youngster drawing the best soap picture on their store windows on Hallowe'en. Miss Betty Beacom was kept busy most of the afternoon and up ta closing time at 8.30 p.m. Saturday judging the art and then rubbing them off to make room for other artists. Buddie Robinson, Britun- nia Road, and Bonnie Allen, Ham- ilton Street, finished in a first place tie, and each* received one dollar. Buddie's picture was that of a boat and Bonnie's that of a witch on a broom. A Kansas schoolboy's description of an editor was as follows: " I don't know how newspapers got into the world, and I ,don't think God does, for he ain't got nothing to say `about .these in the Bible. I think an editor is the missing link we read of, and that he stayed in business until after the flood, came out and wrote the thing up, and- has been "kept busy ever since. If the editor makes a mistake, folks say he ought to be hung; bit if the doctor makes mis- takes, he buries them and people don't say nothing because they can't read Latin. When the editor makes one, there is a big lawsuit and swearing, and a big fuss; but if the doctor makes one, there is. a funeral viiiith flowers and perfect silence. •A doctor can use a word a yard long without . him or any- body else knowing what it means, but if the editor uses one, he has to spell it. If the doctor goes ta see another man's wife; he charges for the visit, but if the editor goes, he gets a charge of buckshot. Any college can make doctors to order but editors have to be born." OVERHEARD ON THE SQUARE —"I wish he would remember that theman who never made a mistake never made anything." CREDIT UNION GROUP HOLDS OPEN MEETING First step toward formation of a community credit union in Gode- rich was taken Tuesday night at an open meeting in the Town Hall.

Mr. and Mrs. John Thorpe and family of Chatham, visited in town over the week -end. 100th Year—No. 44_ GODERICH, ONTARIO, .TH ' DAY, NOVEMBER 5th, 1953 Subscription icsaisa- M C.P.R.

O'Brien, as- sistant Curator of the London Art Gallery, criticized the work and mentioned that .Goderich was be- coming well-known for its interest in art. She noted a marked improve- ment in the paintings shown this year. She mentioned also that a still-life composition by Mrs. Hind .had a professional -like touch. There were exhibits of weaving by Miss Rose Aitken, Leather -carv- ing by " Miss Mary Buchanan, and needlepoint by' Miss Durnin, Miss Ivey Blay and Miss Rose Aitken. : Mrs. Lise Pysaniuk's clever head of Reeve John Graham in Colborne Township clay drew favorable com- ment from the many who attended the .exhibition. the jobs of police chief and three legiate Institute and later gradu The Hallowe'en masquerade dance of Beta Sigma Phi at the 'roderich Pavilion on Friday night brought a strange eollec tion of eostumes.

The death occurred at Windsor on Monday of Mrs. Clara Margaret Keane. wife of Harold Frederick Keane. She was 40 years of age Mrs. Keane was a daughter of I. Ernest Robertson, of Goderich, and the late Clara Eliza Robertson. Her mother passed away on October 19 and. the late Mrs. Keane attended her mother's funeral at Goderich on October 21.

But the snowfall was not unusually early. Two years ago tomorrow, on November 6, 1951, for instance, Goderich was blanketed by a snowstorm which lasted for close to two days. Last year, however, Old Man Winter sat back and rested as one of the mildest winters on record was experienced. No snow was seen until late in December. Yesterday's snowfall was not very heavy, just a driving wet flurry that lasted for about 20 • minutes and melted on hitting the ground. Later, at about 10 a.m., hail fell for about a 10 -minute period, and through- out the day the wet snow fen intermittently. 4 Goderich's new swimming pool in Judith Gooderham Memorial Playground is rapidly ' nearing com- pletion and is expected to be fin- ished before the end of this month. .General contractor for: the work is a .Goderich firm,: David Ross Construction Company, and sub- contract work is being done ;by a number of Goderich firms, all. using local labor. . Work an the pool was started a number of weeks ago and Was held up slightly for_about a week due to a delay in receiving fitting& The fittings, however, coming from-- United States firm, had been 1 shipped to another pool under con- - struction in California. When the urgent need for the material arose in, Goderich, the United States firm rerouted the shipment from California and had it sent here. Modern Slated' to be one of the most modern pools in Canada, the pool is the gift of Harry W. Knight, of Toronto, a former resident of Gode- rich. Work on the project has been done entirely under the superin- tendence of a consulting engineer. Every drop of cement that was poured was supervised carefully and tests were made constantly. As a result, the engineer who supervised the cement work, who came to Canada from Poland,- says it is the finest cement he has seen since he came to this country. When completed, the sides and bottom of the pool will be sanded to a glass -like - finish. Even the overflow gutters along the edges of the pool will be sanded smooth, Lighting One of the outstanding features of the project is the lighting sys- tem. - I Twenty-eight underwater lights will provide illumination for the I pool and will create a novel effect I when turned on. 1 But the lights present a problem. ;They are a special type and have a !filament that burns with intense !heat, so that the lights must be cooled by water circulating around them all the time they are lit. .If the lights "are turned on for five seconds without '' water around them, they will burn out. At the end of t -he pool nearest the bathing house in the' park., there will be a stairway into the water. In addition, there will be five .ladders. Shallow end of the pool will be the west end. Wading Pool.. The, wading pool, built at the park a number of years ago, will be connected to the main swiin- ming pool for filling and draining purposes. Previously, the wading pool was filled and drained period- ically. The new pool will have a filtra- tion system which will keep fresh water circulating all the time. in fact, water in the pool will be changed completely every six hours. Cement work on all the shallow end of the pool has been completed and workmen .started to pour cem- ent at the deep end on Tuesday. When steel mesh has been received for the floor, the cement work will be done there. -4 Former Teacher Receives Medal Miss Mabel Powell, a former teacher at Goderich District Col- legiate Institute, has been made the. • recipient of a Coronation Medal.
