Only 24 more shopping days until
Christmas.
Ile responding to the toast to the
ladies at the' Huron County Ward-
en's banquet Thursday evening,
Mrs. R. E. Pooley of Exeter humor-
ously quipped, "Although most of
us have been married for quite
a long time we ladles `are happy
to have ,a date to go out with our
husbands somewhere besides to
church. on Sunday mornings?'
She expressed amazement that
the councillors were unable to re-
turn to their homes each evening
but said she had been assured that
it was necessary to have "an even-
ing session to speed up the work
In moving a toast to the ladies,
Reeve John Nediger of Clijpto:l
said it used to be that the county
council sessions offered an oppor-
tunity for the men to get away
from the ladies for a few daye but
that present day communications
had put a crimp on this. Vesting
ly, he said that with the possibil-
ity of the council sessions being
on TV in the future it was felt that
the ladies . might just as well be
invited now to get a "look in" on
what's doing for they would- any-
-way when TV came.
Other evidence of women's,. in-
fluence on county councils carne
from the remarks of Warden Alvin
W. Kerslake who remarked,
"Ladies have a lot to do with the
way county councillors carry on
their work. .. Many of them go to
their wives -to ask advice on what
they should do about certain
issues. If, they go to them • too
often, things at county council
might be changed. Boy, won't
that be the day!" w _.
Move over, men! Get ready for
the influx of women county coun-
cillors in the future!

Land Trade
Cornpleted
A trade of land between . the
Goderich Public School Board and
the Town of Goderich was complet-
ed by Town Council last Friday
night in the passing of a by-law.
The land obtained by the town
in the trade was necessary for the
building of 26 new rental homes
in the Gibbons -Blake street ana.
It is situated at the extreme 4south
of the Public School property. '
In exchange for the approximate-
ly two acres obtained from the
school board, the town conveyed
to theschool about an acre and
one-half immediately east of the
school, which gives access to 'the
Bavfield road.
In addition, the town obtained
33 feet along the westerly side of
Gibbons street from Raglan to
Blake, making Gibbons now a 66 -
foot wide street.

MISSING DRIVER
Police had a mystery of the
missing motorist - on their
hands last week -end.
The mystery started at
o'clock last Saturday morning
when a Local garage oPerator
was called to the south pier
where a car was "teetering" on
the edge of the dock.
The driver had gone over
the railway crossing and failed
to turn either left or right on
the dock. As a result the
front end of the car rested
only inches -from the water.
But when police reached the
scene .the driver was not
around. So, when the tow
truck had hauled the car to

Mayor Offers Explanation
Of Current ArenaQuestjon
Following is a letter from Mayor
J. E. Huckins received yesterday
in which he comments on cdn-
troversy over arena operations:
Editor, Signal -Star.
Sir,—May I trespass upon your
generosity to ask for space in your
Goderich Signal -Star to make a
certain degree of explanation con-
cerning the present controversy
centering around the Recreation
and Arena Council. Ate our -regu-
lar Town, Council meeting on `Fri:
day, November 20, Councillor
Fisher rose to ask for certain in-
formation concerning the opera-
tion of our newlyformed commit-
tee. At that to I stated that I
believed that 'owing to the many
rumors and apparent confusion
amongst our citizens I would make
a public statement in an effort to
allay any concern the public may
have on account of the many re-
ports appearing in the press.
First, let us not lose sight of
the fact that our Arena is owned
by our citizens, built by the citi-
zens, and oerated by a committee
appointed by the Town Council.
The Town of Goderich had the
first artificial ice arena between
the city of London and Owen
Sound. We are still the largest
urban municipality (except Sarnia)
in that area. I believe our splen-
did Arena can be traced back to
the days when our Junior "C"
champions under the sponsorship
of Ivan Louzon brought -us such
unpredecented publicity that our
citizens realized the need of just
uch a set up as we now have.

ada Week which could this season
eclipse all expectations.
Now it seems we Fare «getting
same publicity we are not very
proud of, resulting in some confus-
ion amongst our people. ' About a
year ago your Council began to
consider the matter of setting up
a Recreation and Arena Committee
jointly to operate acid 'supervise
all recreation in the Town of
Goderich, under the rules and
regulations as set forth by the
Department of Education, under
which we would benefit quite con-
siderably financially through sub-
sidies paid by the department.
We were already spending the
money, but as. we were not organ-
ized according to legislative, plans,
we were throwing away a subsidy
in the neighborhood of $4,000:
