AND .. • .HERE.• AND THERE
An Irish •gentlemna'n from
,Chicago spent Monday and
Tuesday in the . Signal -Star
office.
Courteous, genteel, yet firm to
the letter, James R. Kelly, auditor.
for the Audit Bureau of Circula-
tions, finished the audit of the
Signal -Star circulation list on Tues-
day.
No one ever ' knows- just
when the "ABC Auditor" will
arrive but he does arrive at
the Signal -Star office for regu-
lar periodic checks on Signal
Star circulation. The exact
day he will come is • as un-
known as when the "school
inspector will arrive at the
'school or when the travelling
bank inspetctor will arrive to
check things over at a local
bank. -
The report Kelly makes for
the ABC is the yardstick by which
advertisers, both ' national and
local, in- the Signal -Star are. pro-
vided' with paid circulation figures.
The Audit Bureau is a non-profit, a- degree; ' - annual increase of $200

Further discussion on a change
in salary schedule offered .' two
weeks ago to 'GoderichPublic
School teachers by' the sch el
board will likely be held at the
March meeting of the board next
Wednesday night.
Harold Shore, chairman of the
board, said that a meeting between
members of the board's school
management committee • and the
teacher -board relations committee
was' slated to have been held yes-
terday afternoon.
In a letter to the board, Miss
Margaret E. Mason, convener of
the teachers' committee, said that
members of the staff werenot sat-
isfied with adjustments offered in
the salary schedule. The letter
suggested that the two committees
should meet.
The beard, at its February .meet-
ing, granted an increase of $300 in
the maximum figure of the salary
schedule from $2,900 to $3,200.
It was decided, however, that no"
change would b'e made in the
minimum salary; allowance of $100
per year for experience up to $400
would be made and teachers at
present receiving the maximum'
salary would receive annual in-
creases of $100 Until' the new
maximum is reached. The changes
would not be effective` until Sep-
tember of this year.
Teachers had requested an in-
crease in the 'minimum salary from
$2,200 to.$2,400; an increase in the
maximum salary to $3,800 without

enced
xlperi•en,ced circulation auditors,
who regularly visit all ,publish- •

tive audits al their circulation
records. The information from
these audits is then issued in
reports which are available to
advertisers:
These reports are available to
merchants in Goderich who adver-
tise in the -Signal -Star or to nation-
-ally known firms who advertise.
Happily, the figures show a con=
tintial climb in paid --circulation.

No, it's not a picture window overlooking the shores of Lake Huron just south of Goderich—but it's a reasonable fascimile thereof. You'll
find it in the new Club Grill on Kingston Street which is to open early in March. A unique feature of the restaurant's layout is a huge
seashore picture in color—some 15 feet long and six feet deep—part of the installations of Erskine Supply. A portion of the main floor
of the old Victoria Opera House is being entirely renovated as the locale^of the modern, new restaurant of Mr. and' Mrs. J., C. Banter.
