Hiring of a new recreation dir-

Arena was debated on Tuesday
night by Goderich Recreation and
Arena Committee, but no choice
was made for the post.
The committee decided earlier v
this inontl`i to advertise for a per:
son to take, on the dual position
after the term of Lorne Wakelin
as arena manager expired and de-
cision was made not ,to re -hire
Don Emms as recreation director.
25 Applications
The committee considered a
total of 25 applications, most of
which came from persons who had
no previous experience in man-
agement of an arena and recrea-
tion direotion.
Meanwhile, the committee agreed
to investigate some of the appli-
cants- with experience in the hope
of hiring someone to fall the pos-
ition irf the near future. -

committee, submitted a report to
members of the group showing- a

CANNON TO GO
The old World War One cannon
in Court House Park is slated to
be removed. Earlier this month,
Mayor J. E. Huckins said at a
Town Council meeting that the
cannon was falling apart and there
was danger that children playing
on it might be hurt. He said Tues-
day a check had been made with
the Canadian Legion grid that
group does not have charge of
the
cannon. The big field gun will
possibly be moved to Huron County
Museum.
The present heat wave, in
Ontario was "just comfortable"
for two visitors to Goderich
this week.
Murray A. Ross, of Clermont,
Florida, stopped in at The
Signal -Star office on Monday
afternoon on his first visit to
Goderich in about 20 years.
"Say, this weather's just
great;" he said. I don't mind
it at all."
Delivered Papers
Mr. Ross, ' who used to be
a delivery boy for The Signal
•'before he left here about 50
years ago, had been in Chicago
last week on business and he
and his wife decided to pay a
visit to Goderich.
He stayed with the publish-
ing business and for many
years :operated a publishing
firm in Chicago. He still has
controlling interest in the firm,
and makes a trip to Chicago
from Florida once each year.
"The town hasn't changed
too much," Mr. Ross said, "but
I'm certainly ,.glad to see it is
starting to, grow. It's a good
sign of progress."
When Mr. Ross worked as a
. delivery boy after school,
editor of Tie Signal Was the
late ' "Dan" McGillicuddy,
whose son, Owen Ernest, died
two ,weeks ago in •Toronto. He
recalls that at one time "Dan"
McGillicuddy was running for
a public office and the children
had composed a rhyme which
went something like this: "Old
Dan McGillicuddy is good
enough for anybody."
- Dress Properly
A visitor to The Signal -Star
office yesterday was a mission-
ary from India, Rev. O. M.
Getty, who claimed that heat
was no bother as long as
people x dressed properly in
light clothing.
"On the coast of India where
our Baptist mission is located
there are two temperatures,"
Mr. Getty said, "hot and hot-
ter." Because of the terrific
heat, be said, people change
their clothes several times and
take about three baths every
day.
Mr. Getty is at bi sent in
Godeeieh as missionary leader
at the Baptist .Hermosa Junior

of Goderich an -Lake Huron.
This Sunday mcirning he is
slated to be guest preacher at
