THURSDAY, AUGUST 22nd, 1967 BOTH ARE UP Two of the Main entertainment events of the summer season in Goderich have been held and both have been unusually successful from various standpoints. The Goderich Trade Fair, sponsored by the Kinsmen Club, c'oneluded Saturday night with an attendance surpassing that of last year and also more and better booths by exhibitor.. 'Tile water sports day program, sponsored ,jointly by the :Milia Club and the Goderich Lions Club, '.as seen by a total estimated atteudatiet' of around -1.00() people to hove the event into the category of a major entertainment of au "up and coming- calibre. “oderieh's ileo service club, --the Lio11. and the kinsmen -can take a bow for their fine promotional work in glorifying these aforementioned annual events. In the rase of the water sports day program, It i. the (lode - rich Aqua Club tt-Ilieh has done all the spade work in establishing this affair. Nott- under dual sponsorship, the water sports day has been given the added organization and support by the Lions Club which necessary to put the affair over in the planner in which it Should he.

It is understood that the Ontario Boating Federation prefers t0 run off their races one after the other without any- thing in 'between to interfere with their sched- ule. however, we understand plans are al- •eg, ly under way to make some changes next year whereby some other type of water •sports might be injected into the afternoon speed boat racing program to give the affair the diversity it needs from the standpoint of all- round public entertainment. But come what may, the feel' confident you'll be seeing a bigger -and -better water sports day program here next year. The attendance this year left no doubt that tPi(' public likes it. While there were vac•al,nt booths at the Trade Fair last year •anti its future looked a bit shaky last fall, this picture was changed this month. All the booths were tilled at the Trade Bair last week. On top of this more than half of them have Signiflisd their intention to return again next year. Looks like these two annual events -the third annual for the water sports clay and the fourth .111111teal for the Trade Fair -are ill. - THE GODERIOH -SIGNAL-STAR • There was a large crowd of spectators, considerable smoke but negligible loss when fire broke out in the millwright shop on the premises of the Upper Lakes and St. Lawrence Transportation Com- pany about seven o'clock Monday evening. The fire is said to have started as a result of one started carliet• that day to clean up olds_ material around the building. The millwright Shop is seem in im- mediate foregroupd while what was known as the old cooperage shop, torn down some time ago, is at the west end of the building, commenc- ing at a point to the rear of the Wo.. mat sstandinganit1�nC 911 r1q,_ -Y had een molishing the millwright shop and' it was the timbers and old lumber in it that provided food for the fire.

Belliveau has a feature article in the current issue of The Toronto Star Weekly on 1:. P. 'Taylor. The multi -millionaire Taylor is just about the greatest promoter of varied business as Canada has ever known. In- •eidentally, he is indirectly associated with the rock salt Imine now .under construction in Goderich. It would be interesting to have Mr. Taylor come to Goderich •some time and address a service club meeting here. We imagine that if he said what he really thought he could give some rather revealing predic- tions on the industrial future of Western On- tat'rio, for example. • • • a "There has been no decrease in the sale of cigarettes in Goderich as a result of many atrtieles of late connecting cancer with exces- sive eigare,tte stroking. A survey of local tobacco stores reveals that if there has been a drop-off in cigarette smoking on the part of St000 leen due -.t he scare, it has been more than matched IV. the increase in cigarette smoking on the part of women. Another trend noted is more smokers turning to cigars and the o1(1 maxim about "What this country needs itt a good five cent cigar" is truer today than ever. The September issue of Reader's /1?tgest contains an interesting article on the rating of the various popular brands of Can- adian eigaret.tes. it emphasizes that the pre- sent filters on cigarettes are not, particularly effeetive. It..seems it's going to take a lot. of wearing to eut down on the cigarette habit.
