The large turn -out at the nomin-

_an..... agreeable surprise. It looked
to us as if the num-'b`er w`as on

year's record turn -out. If the;;
voters will turn out on Monday,•
December 6, in the same fine man-
ner as they did last year, Goderich
will not have as much to complain
about in, the way of lack of interest
in civic affairs as have most muni-
cipalities.
We liked the plug Which
C. M. Robertson gave to the
Jaycees for the splendid work
they have done in various
ways in Goderich, one piece
of which work was in connec-
tion with the new street signs.
If this organization were not
active in Goderich, the town
would lose by it. May it con-
tinue to be as virile and active
as it has been.
Then ,there was the man who
had been frequently reminded to
do his Christmas shopping in his -
own town—to patronize local mer-
chants. He went to the hospital
for an operation and was asked
by the doctor if"he preferred gas,
chloroform or ether. So indoc-
trinated had he become with the
horae town angle that he auto-
matically replied: "Just give me a
local anaesthetic. • I believe in
patronizing home industry.

the establishment has been a dry

tells of her visit to the store as

There are boxes after boxes of

There are boxes and •boxes
of antiquated underclothes, for

There are garments, which we

There are blouses of fine voile,

Contest Assured F
Remainder •Counci
John E. Huckins was returned by acclamation as Mayer of
Goderich for a fifth term last Friday night after Councillor Reuben
Besse decided not to qualify as a candidate for the mayoralty:
• They were the only two candidates proposed for the. chief
magistrate's post at the annual municipal nomination meeting
attended by an almost -capacity crowd in the Town Hall auditoriuxm.
Will Be. Contests Q;
No Interest
In Zoning?
Contests are assured, however, soon have its zoning plans com-
for the remainder of seats on pleted, MayoraHuckins said. He
Town Council. pointed out that one of the first
things a potential industry asks
is if the town is zoned.
Two candidates, John H. Graham
and Joseph • Allaire, are contesting
the post of reeve. Mr. Graham
has been reeve foe the past three
years, while Mr. Allaire has been
deputy -reeve for the same length
of time.-.
Two members �t• this year's
council, Ernie Fisher and Elliott
Drennan, will contest the .position
of depute -reeve.
Eight men were nominated and
all qualified for the- six council
seats. They are Frank Skelton,
Reuben Besse and Frank, Walkom,
all of whom are councillors this
year; John Vincent and C. M.
Robertson, both councillors last
year; Joseph Snyder, John Spain
and James M. Donnelly, fall new-
comers.
Both seats on the Public Utilities
Commission were filled by acclam-
ation. Thomas Taylor and Rod
Johnston, both on the PUC this
year, Were given acclamations for
a ,two-year term.

Only other nominee was Bryan H.
Ainslie, for St. George's Ward, but
he did riot qualify.
Mr. Blackstone fills the seat
made vacant en the board by the
retirement of John H, Lauder, ,who
had served for 12 years. The
other three trustees were on the
board this year.
When nominations were 'erased
at the meeting, James A. Campbell
was named chairman of the meet-
ing.
The large crowd in attendance
came as somewhat of a surprise
to those running for office, since
there were no main issues to be
discussed, such as there were last
year.
Mayor Huckins, reviewing the
past year, said that four years
ago when he offered his services
-as mayor, he made the statement
that it was hard to `understand
why Goderich "didn't seem to be
going anyplace,"
Industry Important
"At present," the mayor said,
"the industrial situation is the
most important subject. He
pointed out that the Purity Flour
Mill was almost non-existent and
the Goderich Organ Company was
non-existent. "It's a calamity .. as
far ,as I'm concerned."
He noted that in 1951, with the
co-operation with ' the Junior
Chamber - of Commerce, an indus-
trial commission was formed and
members of the commission at-
tended' conferences with the idea
of "selling" the town.
As a result of efforts, the' mayor
said, Sheaffer Pen Company of
Canada, • Ltd., came to Goderich.
And with the arrival of the new
industry, he said, the town now has
51 new rental homes, .about 100
families who make their living at
the RCAF Station in Clinton live
here, "and they spend their
money in Goderich.".
He said that if these factors
.were taken out.of town the work-
ingman and • businessman would
suffer.
The mayor pointed out also that
in 1945 the population of Goderich
was about 4,500 and now had
reached 6,000. "I want you to
understand thoroughly what the
councils of the past. four years
have been doing," he said.
He noted that the town's assess-
ment had increased by almost
$1,000,000 to bring in a large
additional revenue. Last year, he
said, expenses were increased
about $14,000 but the same tax
rate was maintained, "This year
the assessment has been increased
by about $500,000 and we hope
we can carry on without any in-
creases in taxes."
He said that about six weeks
ago he had a "lead" on new in-
dustries When he spoke with a
representative from Canada House
in London, England. "He was
looking for industrial sites," the
mayor said,,,,;"and he •assuredme
we would hear, from him within a • to
reasonable length of -time." . able ,.time
He mentioned that in the near ; during the busy Christmas
shopping season, • it will. save
'you the frustration of wonder-
ing

ing whaf to

g
will increase our possibilities," he over the gift suggestions o'f
predicted.. Goderich. merchants.
Assist Pensioners If you are erre +wlio bra'
The mayor told the ,atXdience : been in the "habit .
Despite the fact that a draft of
the proposed zoning by-la•w for
Goderfch, together with a draw-
ing showing these zones, has been
en display in the Town Clerk's
office since Monday, not a single
citizen up to Wednesday noon had
gone in to look at it.
An announcement in this week's
issue of the Signal -Star and also,
last week said a copy of the pro-
posed by-law would be on display
in the Town Clerk's office from
November 29 to December 7. • And
also that a. public hearing would
be held at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday,
December 7, at the Town Hall for
the• purpose of hearing complaints
from ratepayers as to the details
in the' proposed by-law.
As a town official has stated, it
is not likely that many will 'come
in 'to see the proposed by-law, yet
when it eventually becomes law it
will be a different story. They
may find that they are unable to,
proceed with certain plans they
have in' regard to building and be
quite disturbed when they learn
they are not permitted to do as
they wish. They will say, "Well,
shy didn't they tell us about it.
I never knew this would be a law."
Moral: if you plan on building
or making any, change, make it a
point to look . over the proposed
by-law on -zoning now available for
public inspection at the Town
• Clerk's office. Now is the time to
register a complaint --not after it
becomes law.

wonien in attendance at the meet-

two years and chairman of the
fire committee, he reviewed the
work done by the committee.
Reeve Graham said he felt that
if his record would not elect him
again, "then there's nothing 'I can
say." He pointed out that, he had
been conscientious and if re-elect-
ed he would continue that policy.
J. E. HUCIUNS
who was returned as mayor by
acclamation for a fifth term as the
result of nominations last Friday
night.
Deputy -Reeve Allaire, who has
served' on council for the .past six
years, pointed out that he had
been the instigator in attempts to
have a ick placed on the new
Court House in Goderich. He
said he had served on the historic
committee of Huron County Coun-
cil, the co mittee in charge of the
Huron County Museum, and also
on Town Council's industrial, pub-
lic works and finance committees,
Councillor Drennan, who served
this year for his third time on
council, pledged to do his part in
the development of Goderich.
Councillor Fisher gave a review
of accofnplishments of the public
w-orks-..soninittee; •o•€ ewhiehehe✓--is#
chairman this year, and said that
he was "willing to learn" as much
as possible about municipal work.
Work of the parks - committee
was reviewed by Councillor Skel-
ton, while Councillor Walkom re-
viewed activities of the special and
police committees, paying tribute
to... the Jaycees for their work on
the street sign project. He said
he had heard "bickerings" about
the police department, but that he
was behind the police set-up 100
per cent. -
Mr. Vincent spoke briefly, paint-
ing out he had served three years
as, a councillor, and Mr. Snider
declared his 'intention to run for
office.
Mr, Robertson, who said he fav
ored more industry<y and lower
taxes, told of work done by Alex-
andra Marine and General Hospital
Board, on which he was council's
representative last year. "If town
councils were as anxious and as
careful as the hospital board in
trying to scrape along on as little
as possible, your tax rate would
be lower," he said.
In a brief appearance on the
'platform, Mr, Spain accused Mayor
Huckins and Deputy -Reeve Allaire
of having been "strike-breakers"
a number of years ago. "I'll be in
there fighting for the majority,
not the few," he said.
"I'm dead serious in my effort
to gain a seat on council," Mr.
Donnelly said. He pointedout
that although he had nolengthy
municipal career, what he lacked
in experience, he hoped to make
up in his ability to work.
A review of -the Public Utilities
Commission accomplishments was
given by Mr. Johnston. He said
that a number of new electrical
services had been installed, Napier
street lines had been- rebuilt and
additional transformers installed.
He . suggested that in the near
future, something would have ' to
be done to correct problems with
the sedimentation basin for the
town's water supply at the harbor.
None of the school board
trustees were present to address
the audience.
Shipping in and out of Goderieh
harbor increased sl:iglitly during
the past week and rumor around
the waterfront has it that 14 boats
will winter here: - '
