In a letter from Korea, Sgt.
S. E. McAllister, writes to
Huron Body and Fender Shop,
Goderich, as follows: "Having
lived -at Goderich some , 20
years and still getting the
Goderich Signal -Star over
here, 1 noticed where you
people were dealers for Volks-
wagen- cars. I have spoken to
several soldiers who drove
them in Germany and intend
buying one when I return. 1
will be living at Camp Borden
when I return to Canada but
Goderich is still my horne
town. Was wondering if you
would be so kind as to send
the the particulars of the car,
including price and terms. If
you would do this I would be
very grateful."
TO MAKE NICKEL OUT OF
NICKEL
The nickel is going to, be made
out of nicker again.
A proclamation in The Canada
Gazette said the Mint will start
issuing five -cent- coins made of
nickel January 1, 1955.
Nickel is nothing new in. the
nickel. But five -cent pieces have
been minted from steel fox the last
three years to conserve nickel for
defence purposes.
The proclamation said the supply
of nickel for coinage purposes now
is adequate.
The design will remain the .same:
Uncrowned effigy of the Queen on
the obverse side; a beaver, two
maple leaves, "5 cents," "Canada"
and the date ,on the reveitse side.
Like the present nickel, it will have
12 sides.
For the mathematically inclined,
the nickel coin will have -a stand-
ard weight of 70 grains, measure
.822 to .824 inches across the par-
allel sides and .836 to .838 inches
across the angles,

Dismiss Impaired
Driving. Charge
Charged with driving a farm
tractor while his ability was im-
paired, Harry Feagan, of Wingham,
pleaded not guilty and heard the
charge dismissed by Magistrate D.
E. Holmes in court here last Thurs-
daThe offence was alleged to have
taken place in Clinton on June 17.
Counsel for the accused, Frank
Donnelly, argued' that the statutes
were conflicting as to whether a
farm tractor was 'a motor vehicle.
Magistrate Holmes, however, ruled
he would • epnsider the tractor a
motor vehicle.
The tractor was involved in a
collision °with a car driven by
Douglas Ileal, of the RCAF, Clin-
ton. Heal said that he thought
the tractor was stopped as he ap-
proached .itt but as he got along-
side, ,it pulled out and struck the
rear fender of his car. Chief
Joseph Ferrand, who investigated,
said he could' smell beer on the
accused's 'breath.
Feagan claimed he was driving
the tractor for a friend." He said
an oil can fell off. the vehicle so
he pulled- to. the side of the road.
He said he did not see the Heal
car approach.

WHY PUNISH CIVIC -MINDED
(The Eganville Leader)
A man puts his good money into
run-down property, improves it,
and. the assessor tames -around.
And the more the nnproves it, the
more taxes he will have to pay.
Now this man's taxed efforts to
make his" property look better may
add a few dollars to the public
exchequer, but does it pay in the
long run if for fear of greater
taxation a whole community de-
cides to forget about improve-
ments, except to see that the build-
ings don't fall down, that the roof
doesn't leak.
Admittedly, an improved proper-
ty is'a more saleable property.
Admittedly, , there are men of
money who would buy up all the
old ramshackle properties they
could' buy, improve• them with an
eye to the market. To such men
more taxes don't mean anything
for in selling the properties they
get all the extra taxes back and
more;
But in most cases, where a man
likes his home and tries to keep it
laoking._neat _and- trun,._.wh rl_. g
doing that without any thought of
selling it for big money, but more
from civic pride than anything else,
we don't see why he should be
punished for it. Rather he should
be encouraged, his neighbors
should be encouraged, and pretty
soon. "the -whole uillage_.or...town_ will
look more inviting, more interest-

the teacher and each pupil received
a pencil .as a souvenir. After '-a-
noon dinner, the first stop was- at
the Dominion Salt Co, Ltd., where
they were ,each presented with a
box of salt. A visit to the grain
elevators followed.

and then climbing 70 ' steps, they
had 'a perfect view of Goderich
harbor and surrounding country.

After stopping again for light re-
freshments, the party left °for
home.

last week were pupils ' from the
Kettle Point School and from S.S.

THE VOICE. OF
• TEMPERANCE'
Alcoholism has made the head-
lines very frequently of late.
"OPEN DISCUSSION ON ALCO-
HOLISM MEETING FEATURE."
That was a reference to the Can-
adian Conference on Social work
being held in Toronto in June.
Members of the legal and medical
professions, a prison psychologist,
a clergyman, ,an educator and a
social worker each described his
trtehod of meeting .problems posed
by alcoholics: Vary recently 'the
Society for Dentistry for children,
meeting ,in Toronto, had Dr. Bell,
medical „ director sof Toronto's
Shadowbrook Health , Foundation,
address them` on alcohplism. The
same speaker gave a lecture on the
same subject last fall in Convoca-
tion Hall' at a meetinlg sponsored
by the Royal Canadian Institute.
The people at large are evidently
awakening to the gravity°' of this
health menace. ,Alcoholism is the
fourth most deadly disease in the
world, according to the flndin9s of
the World , Health Organization.
France, a beer and 'vifine country,
ranks second in ..the number of
alcoholics .per 100,00Q of popula-
