"How long can thy' 'boom
Last?" is the title of an article
in the Marsh 31st issue of Mac-
Lean's Magazine by Peter C.
.Newman, It `lists items fro u:
Centres across Canada ref eet-
ing "Fifteen years of unpre-
cedented prosperity."
One item deals with Gode-
rich as (follows: "So many citi-
zens of Goderich, a small
Western Ontario farming com-
munity, wintered in Florida in
1955 that they had their own
bowling league in St. Peters-
burg to continue hometown
playoffs."
A relative of a Goderieh man
holidaying at St. Petersburg
feels the above item in Mac -
Leah's is a bit far-fetched.
He estimates tnere is probably
a total of about 30 Goderieh
people and former Goderich
residents holidaying there. He
says he has not heard of them
,bowling to that extent but says
they go in for a bit of shuffle-
board. We will have to await
late Spring and the return of
the natives to learn how the
aforementioned bowling "play-
offs" turned out at St. Peters-
burg.

he joined The Herald, the little
city had received its city charter,

8,000 and had seen the great land
rush which turned "South Alberta
from open range ranch country to
a hustling dry -land wheat belt with
100,000 acres irrigated by the Galt
interests -to give it stability. "Watch
Lethbridge Grow" was The Herald
slogan in those stirring days.
