Why is Max Ferguson hitch -hiking from Toronto to Halifax? Sim-
ple—because . "The Rawhide Show" will he back for another season
on ,e .CBC Tram -Canada network and ,it will ortiginate from Halifax
instead of Toronto this year. It's no secret, of ° course, that Fer-
guson has a lot to do with Rawhide --a-lid-hit-boys; -all -the- different -
voices on the show are done by Max. The little gaffer, above, is not
one of Rawhide's "boys". He is Ferguson's son Scott. The rent of
family has also moved to Halifax but, we are told, they took a train.
• A survey of dancers at the Gode-
rich Pavilion is being nriade ..by
Roy Breckenridge, proprietor of
the "Pav," commencing Saturday
night.
A questionnaire is being given
to each dancer to be filled out and
returned to the management. This
questionnaire seeks the answers to -
sunk questions as: Do you like a
small or large orchestra? Do you
come to ;the dance alone, as a
couple or in a group? . If in a
group, how many are there in the
party? What age group are you
in? .Where do you come from?
At present, the management estim-
ates that by far the larger num-
ber of the dancers at the 'Paw
are from out-of-town rather than
from Goderich. Results of the
survey will be made known later.

what unless new ways and means

GODERICH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16th, 154
Mayor Advocates Check Of Property,
Dredging North Side Of Local Harbor
Ownership of property on rho
south side of Goderich harbor
came in for discussion at . last
Friday night's meeting of Town
Council, along with discussion eO
improvements needed at the north
pier.
The property discussion was
started by Deputy Reeve Joe Al-
laire, who suggested that Ottawa
should be queried on the owner-
ship of the land.
Mayor J. E. Huckins told council
that he had met with F. K. Mc-
Kean, District Maxine Agent for
the Department of Transport,
Parry Sound, in Goderich recently
and they discussed the harbor situ-
ation together with Town Solicitor
J. K. Hunter. They looked over
the entire harbor area, he said.
_...."But- i- feel- that... in. _ vieeke of the
St. Lawrence Seaway proposals we
should, be tprotecteel and know
which areas we own," the mayor
said.
Need Improvements
He ' added that L. E: Cardiff, MP
for Huron, had written to former
Transport Minister Ohevrier draw-
ing his attention to improvements
needed at the harbor. He said Mr
Cardiff had received a letter of
reply from the minister saying
that work' atethe harbor was being
considered.
Mr. Hunter and R. G. Sanderson
manager of Goderich Elevator and
Transit Company were preparing a
brief on harbor work requests to
be submitted to Ottawa, the mayor
said.
"I think it's expedient," Mayor
Huckins stated, "that the north
side of the harbor be repaired.
Dredging and sheet piling are
badly needed."

tee in a report last Friday night

REABY?
A Goderich army officer is on
his way home from Britain heading
a 12 -mean unit which has been
studying the Brigade of Guards
there.
For the past three months Maj.
Murray -MacDonald, son of Mrs. A.
MacDonald, Brock street, has been
directing the fact-finding group.
While in Britain he was decorated
with the Member of the British
Empire award for outstanding ser-
vice in Korea.
The group has, been studying
facts cif parade-aquare life as ex-
emplified by British Guards and
their findings will shape the blue-
print of the Canadian Guards, now
in the shape ..of, organization.
MacDonald says the new regi-
ment, regarded as largely the idea
of Lt. -Gen. Guy Simonds, chief of
the -Canadian Army General Staff,
will enable the army to place a
greater emphasis on some of the
peacetime fundamentals of soldier-
in.g;, including discipline and drill.
No Time
"This hasn't been possible in
Canada since the end of the Second
World War," said MacDonald in an
interview before leaving Britain.
"We just haven't had time to turn
out the really smart soldier you
saw 'between the •Wars.".—T .T
MacDonald's group, comprising
seven officersand five non-cominis-
sioned officers; 'has spent some
three months at Caterham, Survey,
where recruits for the Grenadier,
Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh
Guards take their initial training.
"Our aim"" will be perfection,"
said MacDonald, commandant -de-
signate of the Guards depot to be
established at Petawawa, Ont.
"That's the way we've gat to make
our name, starting as we are from
scratch. But we are ,confident
Canadian soldiers can reach the
standard of the Brigade of
Guards."
WARNING, STOP SIGNS
REQUESTED BY POLICE
A warning. sign marking the ap-
proach to the intersection of Bay-
field road and Britannia road was
recommended by Chief Constable
F, M. Hall in the report of the
Police Committee to Town Council
last Friday night.
The intersection has been the
scene of several accidents in the
past few years.
The Chief Constable recom-
mended that a "Dead End" sign be
erected on Highway No. 21,' Bay-
field road, 600 feet from the inter-
section of. Britannia road: •
He recommended also that stop
signs be erected on streets enter-
ing onto Britannia road, and that
trees at the .intersection of len-
nett street,and Highway No."21 be
cleared to provide better vision.
The requests were referred to
the public works committee for
consideration.
Payment of fedeiral family allow-
ances acid- universal old age pen-
sions cost between $13 million and
$14 million a week.
Rental controls end in q!adejeb
today, according to a by4aw given
third reading and passed by Town
Council last Friday night.
The by-law rescinded one passed
earlier this year which adopted
rental controls after the Provincial
Government had dropped them in
March. •
First and second readings to•,the
ruling were given at Town Coun-
cil's August meeting.
Council made the move after
feeling was expressed by council-
lors that the controls were not
needed now Unit there were two
rental housing developments and
there appeared to be ample accom-
modation in the, town.
When it vas decided to adopt
the controls earlier , ,this year,
council was named the 'rental con-
trols --ruling hoard,- --No- written
cbnbpiaints were received, Wife
ever, from either tenants or land-
lords. •
