"That's far boo fast for the
Square," warned Magistrate D. E.
Hoare& gas he fined Paul M. age -
ton, of Seaforth, $12.00 for driving
around Coderieh's main business
area at 38 mph.
Stapleton° • who pleaded not
guilty, said he didn't think he was
'going as fast asthat. Constable
H. D. Hobbs testified that he had
followed the Seaforth youth's car
closely for two or three blocks
around the Square on Sunday,
Se+pte Ober 2, at 11:35 p.m. Since
it, was Labor Dayeek-made there
was a fair amount of traffic, the
officer stated.
The magistrate expressed ,sur:
prise that a car could euccessfully
navigate the turns of the Square
at ithe speed whien the accused ,had
been travelling. .Constable Hobbs

at 70 ntph on hiSlway K. He was
clocked •rear the entrance to Gode-
rieh by Provin jai Constable Harold
Highton.
Finding that there was not suf-
ficient evidence of negligence to
warrant a conviction, Magistrate
Holmes dismissed the case of Uar. i
vey Park, of R.R. 1, Wyoming, who
was charged with careless driving,.
The charge had been laid fol-
lowing a collision on highway 8,
just east of Goderich, on August

There are two different historic-
al books which either the owners
have no desire to part with
or else they are becoming unusual-
ly scarce. For several weeks now
there has appeared an advertise-
ment in the classified section of
the Signal -Star offering to purchase
either or both of these books.
To date, only one answer has come
in,—that of a copy available of
Bet'.den's Atlas of Huron County
of 1.880 but not the one of 1876
that is being sought. The other
book sought is "In the Days of the
Canada Company."
Just how many copies of either
of the aforementioned books are
Mill available in this district is not
exa•etly krrovere bt teindlicaii°oncs are
that they are comparatively scarce.
As a result the economic law of
supply and demand comes into force
and a minimum price of about $25
is placed on the cost of the book,
"In The Days of the Canada Com-
pany.
Miss B. B. Taylor in the London
Free Press refers to these books
and finds, after speaking with a
book dealer, that they are "as
scarce as hen's teeth."
The New Historical Atlas of
Huron County (Illustrated) 1879
has a "patrons directory." Unfor-
tunately, not all the residents of
the period are found. But it is
realizedthat at Messrs. H. Belden

Gracious Homes
Perhaps not since the time of
the publication of these works, cer-
tainly not within many memories,
have such spick and span "resi-
1 dcnces," such noble stook, such
landscaped lawns and spacious farm
buildings appeared agywhere
rural Western Ontario
Many of these places had names,
the custom of the old land persist-
ing in the new. llemories were
still tender and the.are reflected
in "Afton Lodge in Ashfield, and
"Hensal'l Grange," a touch of York-
shire transferred to the Township
of Hay. Some .of the townships
were n.ameT after Canada Coimpany
directors, one of whom was Tucker
Smith. "Danby Hall" was William
Fowler's home there in 1879. By
the perspective employed in these
i'-,'.ustrations it is possible to .see
right over the whole farm, build-
ings and all to watch a train puff-
in; along •fie Buffalo 'and Lake
Huron Line. "Cherry Grove" in
Hulett and "Maitland Bank" in
Grey were amang the new names
chosen to match the newly -cleared
country.
Villages are marked on these
gni:ps which' no longer exist, or are
a mere ghost at a cross -road, where
sometimes 'a .shop or school will
keep the old name alive. And

There are whole pages of port-

was still young. It was only 50
years since the Huron road ave nt

The Atlas is a factual work, but
a bit of romance has been permit
ted in the illustration's. Ladies in
the pelisse -and -pannier vogue sof
the period drive high-stepping
teams to town, handling the rh
bons like experts. Every house has
its grove of trees. perfect in size,

apple-pie order.

Towing "three coiril�s in the
fountain" at Rome ... enjuy;ing a
French banquet which had so many
courses that it took two and a
half hours to finish ... trying to
find the right Jack White among
the hundreds listed in 'the London,
England, telephone book
These are Just a few of many
interesting experiences which Jkfiiss
Leslie Leitch, of Goderich, had in
a three -months' whirl around
Europe this summer. She arrived
home September 7, sur'prisin r her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Leitch,
who weren't sure just when to
expect her.
She left Goderich .again last Fri-
day for Miami, where she intends
to make her home for a while.
There, ,she will study for her M.Sc.
degree and teach mathematics six
hours weekly at University of
Miami. Her parents accompanied
her on the .trip tiown to Miami.
Leslie was overseas as an ad-
ministrative officer with No. 1 Air
Division Headquarters, RCAF, at
Meta, France. 0a week -ends, she
found it possible to visit many
European cities, including London,
Rome, Paris, Verdun, Versailles,
Heidelberg. Cologne, Bonn, The
Hague, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
She also saw part of Belgium and
Luxembourg,
In London, she stayed with Jack
White and his family. Mr. White
was in the RAF during wartime
and .was stationed at Port Albert
for a while. He visited often at
the home of Leslie's parents, who
then lived in Chesley.
"And," said Leslie, '`don't think
I didn't have trouble finding him
in the London phone book!" It
seemed to her that the number of
J. Whites in London must be at
least equal to the total population
of Goderich.
Europeans Friendly
The European peaple were
friendly and she met many Can-
adians, so she seldom had time to
be lonely. In Luxi,-,nbourg, she met
Dan Jolley, who was in charge of
the girls' band here at one time.
He was playing with an RCAF
band when she saw him.
Frohn Tier student—clays, she -rad
some knowledge of French and
German and she found that this
helped her out. Many' people on
the ..continent also, spoke English,
so language was seldom a difficulty.
"The Germans in particular have
been very industrious in rebuild-
ing," Leslie commented. "And
some of lire new buildings in The
Netherlands are the most beautiful
I have ever seed anywhere. In
Rotterdam, the heart (if the city
has been entirely rebuilt and they
have done a wonderful jab."

The meals were cut tending. On
one occasion in. France, ,she and
her companions were treated to a

snails by picking them out of the

Near Mollie, she was Impressed
by a trip through the catacombs,
which were used by early Chris-
tians both as burial grounds and
as underwound; places of refuge.
In the Italian . eaputa1, she indulged
in the famous custom of tossing
three coins in Trevi Fountain.
She and her companions camp:
ed outdoors a great deal and she
remembers one experience in par-
ticular. They camped for the night
in a field which they believed was
isolated. In the morning they
awoke to ,find themselves the sub-
