LIVE HERE AND LIVE LONGER.
Always known as a healthy place in which
r
to live, Goderich is apparently telex1ill, even
more so' This observation is based on statis-
tics reeently compileei by the town.
Population figures are divided up into age
groups, the last group tieing age 70 and over.
This group gives the longevity of the c•itizetis.
Of the 5,884 Goderich residents listed in
the 1956 assessment rolls, 10.3 iwr centor
609 people, to be exact, were 70 years and
over. By ^coniparisoii, there were, in 1950,
some 9.8 per cent of its citizens 70 years and
over; out of a population of 4,991 in 19i0
there were 490 who were 70 years, and over.
In the intervening years, the percentage
figure -has been up and down but never so
high as this year. ']'like town age groups
figures have been ec►utpileil only since 1950.
The age group from 20 to 59 is recog-
nized as the .`working 'group"—those sten and
women who are normally- employed at that
age. In 1956, this group was 46 per cent or
2,732 persons of the total population of 5,884.
In 1950 it was 4-8 per eent or 2,420' persons
of a population of 4,991.
Getting down to the young fry—aged 4
or under—there ,Fere 610 in 1056. Back in
1950 the number was 484. The peak was
reached for this group in 1965 when there
were 620.
Here are the age groups and the slumber
in them for 1956: three years and under, 474;
age four, 136; age five, 116; age six—seven,
239 ; age eight—nine, 209; age ten—thirteen,
392; age fourteen, 77; age fifteen, 94; age
sixteen-- nineteen, 295; age twenty to fifty-
nine, 2,732; age sixty- to sixty-four, 2351 age
sixty --five to sixty-nine, 276 ; age seventy and
over, 609.
By looking over the aforementioned list
you can pick out your age group and tell how
many more there are in .town in your age
group to keep you company. It's surprising
stow fast you'll move, you will find, from one
age group to the other over the years. Be-
fore you :know it you'll be in that last group
average for Goderieh's longe -
wishing you every sueeess in
to boost the
vitt'. Here's
reaching it.
VILLAGE HOSPITALITY
--When the- iecasioti arises, villages can
display -an amazing amount of hospitality.
This was debmonstrated at, the village of Dun-
gannon when the Dungannon United. Church
observed its 101st anniversary.
Years ago, Dungannon had as many as
three hotels. But there are none there today,
a situation made eotntu@n in. villages through-
out Ontario since the advent of the motor car.
the comlilete lack of hotel accommoda-
tion, however, was no barrier. whatsoever in
looking after -.the many visitors who came,
in somoionstairees, considerable distances to
attend te church anniversary. ,Some came
just for the day- ; others for a week -end of
ve-tidies to the .village -that' was mire they
home village. t, welt] t ..o be c3ittriPi: gal_

those who needed it ; and •meals. in...vj, is ;-arta•
farm homes forthose who, after. an absence
ut litany years, -my longer-- felt the knew'
any present day residents sufficiently well
to go to their homes. But there were no
strangers there as far as the church people
were concerned. They saw to it that
tors wetit -to district homes for meals on
Sunday. •
Typical of the hospitality was the invita-
tion expressed from the pulpit by the minister,
Rev. George D. Watt, who said: "Visitors
who have not yet a place at which to eat at
- noon or evening or who wish' to remain over-
night may see me after the service when this
accommodation will be arranged.. In faet, if

And it vas---justt.-like that. Such refresh.
