The answer, in the ease of Mrs. E. C. Phillips, is that she ivas "both thrilled and beeteen-lrearted." Mrs. Phillips, the former 1415r Stewart ,was a girl a 10 when she left Goderich ie 1894. That was the last ehe was to see of the town until last week when she returned at the age of 72. As a girl in Goderich, she lived with her grandfather, Hugh Hamil- ton,. on West street. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Stewart. Many older residents of Gaderich reeall that Mr. Hamilton wa's lib- rarian of. the Mechanics' Institute in the days before Goderich had a public library that was known as such. Townspeople went to the Mechanics' Institute to read books and peruse "old country" news - 'papers. It waslocated on the second floor in the first Nock on East street. "I was ibrokenhearteda; said Mrs. Phillips, "when I learned that the old Court House was gone. I also missed the old Knox Presbyterian Church where my grandfather used to take. me. I can still remember ITini giving me mints to keep me from 'becoming too reatlees while a service was going on." She has vivid recollection's of the old Court House clock, by which she used to time heaself When she' was practising on the piano. It's a pity, .she laments, that they didn't build the new Court House exactly like the old. There are some consolations, she CANCER - ES CVEZABLE Many ceees of cancer cnn be cured ;f caught iu tiene.

Even after 02 5reors, soave of the old Goderich houses lOok "1 wanted to cline back for 5.0 years or more," said Mrs. Phillips, who added, "Now I'm having the time of -my liter Sunset Hotel Ad Her return visit came about this way. She was visiting her daugh- ter in Birmingham, 'Michigan, when she saw an advertisement for the Sunset Hotel in the paper there. She wrote the hotel and received a very . courteous reply from H. C. Williams, Who advised her that tae season would be oVer soon. Her daughter helped her pack and she was off to Goderich. During her 62 years away from this town, she had always treasured a photograph of eigtht Goderich girl friends and herself. it was taken when Katy Read, one .of the girls, was departing for Africa with her parents. Mrs. Phillips believes that 1(aty's,father was an engineer. Most of the friends in, the pic- ture are still living. She met one of them here the other day and taey remembered each other and the times they had had together in the 1890s. As far as is known, only two of the original nine still make their home in Goderich. Coincidentally, on of them, who now makes her home in California, was in Goderich last week at the same time as Mrs. Phillips. But Mrs. Phillips did not know this until' after the other lady had departed for California again. Meanwhile, Mrs. Phillips, still thrilled about her "homecoming," has been approaching almost every- one who looks like they might be old enough to remember her or her family. She has talked to some who remember things about her family that she didn't know herself. 0 0 0 Nurses Of Health Unit Are Placed yos,tinsAs_ have been .annoenced for two nurses who recently joined the staff of Huron County, Health Unit. Miss Glennys Mowat, who comes from Woodstock, will be stationed at Goderich, while Miss Sara Goert- zen, who hails from St. Catharines, is going to Wingham to serve that area. There is still an opening on the staff. The board recently accepted the application of Miss Ethel Ting- ley, of Ottawa, but she decided not to' come. She gave illness in her family as the reason for changing her mind. . „. eeseeeeteee• • ,t1r, • N ft_ PETWEEN - YOU AND LOSS!

This was the keynote of Can- adian Weekly Newspaper AsSOCi- ationPresident—Lo,hn Vapnes opening address before the needy 500 editors and publishers who assembled at Murray Bay, Quebec, Wednesday of last week to de- liberate the problems and signific- 7ance of weekly newspapers on the Canadian scene. "The non-metiopolitan news- papers contribute in great measure to the stability of this nation," the Davidson (Sask.) Leader editor said. "We must not overlook the tremendous significance of our combined efforts 'in both reflecting and moulding public opinion and public attitudes from coast to coast."

But they warned that weekly editors have grave responsibilities in their home towns. The convention, held this year at Quebec's luxury Runnier resort, Manoir Richelieu at Murray Bay, has became known as "Canada's biggest family party." Although the three-day convention had its share of serious business sessions, the general atmosphere was one of congeniality. Many of the 400 delegates ar- rived wearingegay-Alcasetteestaak- ing caps. They found bellhops, waitresses and elevator operators similarly attired as the hotel staff joined in the spirit of the get- together. William Draaer, editor of the Wetaskiwin (Alta.)
