Nominati�n r
(Tpecial to Signal Star by Mrs C all Anglo-Saxon. Today, we have perience.
A. Trott) a large number of New Canadians, Deeves told the meeting that in
NITON, Nov. 9. --Close to 75
people Friday afternoon attended
the nomination meeting of the
Township of Goderich held here in
the town council chambers. Cli
tons Deputy -Reeve, NelsonTre
wartha, a Goderich Township tax -1
gayer, and former Goderich. Town-
ship reeve, was appointed to act
as chairman for the ratepayers'
meeting which followed.
In his chairman's remarks, Mr.
Trewartha referred to the town-
ship's healthy (financial status, with
a . "very substantial" 'surplus on
hand. "Our township is gradually
changing," said Mr. Trewartha.
"Just a few years ago we were
most of them from Holland. They
are good, law-abiding citizens, who
believe in farming in a large way,"
he said. He went on to say that
of the outstanding taxes owing in
the -township, he has been inform-
ed by the tax collector that none
of them are owed by New Can-
adians.
John Deeves, who has just com-
pleted three years as reeve, (He
has just completed his 10th year
on the township council), stated his
intentions to be a candidate for
warden, if successful in the run
for reeve against Clayton E. Laith-
waite, a 1957 councillor, who also
has many years of
municipal

spite of the tax rate having been
dropped by one mill, that the town-
ship experienced a surplus. "Our
council has done a good job this
year," he commented.
On County Council, Deeves serv-
ed on four committees --Forestry,
of which he was chairman; Legis-
lative, Agriculture, and the Good
Roads.
Huron County has 10 tracks of
land that are reforested with sev-
eral thousands, of trees, said
Deeves. A" Goderich Township
farmer, Tom Rathwell, has been
the recipient of a tree -farm cer-
tificate, which are now being a-
warded to tree -farmers who qual-
ify.
Reviews Work
Although the Legislative Com-
mittee was not a busy one, Mr.
Deeves said that the Equalization
Committee had a busy year. He
referred to the court case in which
the county was successful when the
Town of Goderich appealed its
county assessment rate.
Goderich Township was success-
ful in getting four miles of the
nine miles of hot mix laid this
year by the county. The fact that
a hot mix plant is now located in
the county makes the price of such
work more reasonable, he said.
He reviewed other activities of the
County Council, mentioning: that
five or sic miles of grading had
been completed; three large
bridges constructed; three large
culverts built at a total cost of
$8,000; in two more years' time
the •County Court House will be
paid for and when it is, the county
will be debt -free; that the County
Museum is a paying proposition,
but more space will be needed ally asked if any of the township
there in the spring; that the Child- residents, ever thought it fitting to
ren's Aid Society is doing a won-
derful job; that the farm at the
Huron County Home saw a profit
this year; that there are now 98
residents at the Home, of whom
60 are paying through Old Age
Pensions. "Road expenditure in
the county has certainly increased
and it will probably mean an in-
crease in mill rate, if people con-
tinue to demand better roads,"
he said. In conclusion, Mr. Deeves
told the ratepayees that it has
been 20 years since the township
has had a warden.
Clayton Laithwaite
Clayton E. Laithwaite, a 1957
councillor who is opposing John
Deeves for the reeveship spoke
of his work on. the Goderich Area
Planning Board. He has been a
member on this board, represent-
ing Goderich Township Council. He
48-50 pointed out the work has been
seetee a difficult and intricate. He review-
ed the activities of the 1957 coun= have capable teachers, whose sal

Mr. Laithwaite, recalling that it said, to increase the mill rate for
was over 130 years since his fore- school purposes, from 7.2 up to
fathers came to Canada, sentiment- .7.5, within the past couple of years,
due to the expense of moving
" pupils from No. 10 school to the
RCAF Station Clinton school (this
Contest
Slatewas due to overcrowding at No. 10).
In A new furnace is needed at No. 11
school, but it is the hope of the
board that this won't be eecessary
this winter. "Holmesville school
has been greatly overcrowded, arld
it might have been a real problem
had . it not been for a good capable
teacher," he said.
More Pupils
The general trend in school pop-
ulation, said the trustee, is an in-
crease each year in enrolment.
"Very few trades, or professions,
today are available without a grade
10 education, at least. Not all our
children being educated are going
to return to the farm," said Mr.
Welsh. He predicted that in the
not too -far-off future, specialized
teachers will he here to stay; that
is, a ' teacher will specialize in
,either senior, _or junior work.
"Whether we like it, or not, con-
solidated schools are going to give
us much to think about," he said.
"If we are going to give our child-
ren a good education, we are going
to have to brine our classrooms
together," he said.
4 question from the floor regard-
ing the installation of telephones
in the schools, brought the reply
that such a move would have its
good points and that it would be
practical in the classroom.
Wilmer Harrison, the township's
representative on . the Goderich
Hospital Board, reported that .the
new addition contract was for
$423.800..
Neither' Irvin Tehbtttt, represent-
ative from the township on the
Clinton District High School Board,
nor Barrie Walters, representative
on the Goderich District Collegiate
Institute, were present to report.
One Nand at the meeting was ;
Goderich Township's last warden,
Wilmott IIaacke, who -spoke brief-
ly. Greetings were extended from

build a township hall, as a monu-
ment to Goderich Township for&
fathers.
Walter J. Forbes, reporting on
his work as a councillor, strongly,
urged that a bylaw be drawn up'
prohibiting the dumping of cans,
stones, etc., on township roads.
Although the township has a muni-
cipal dump, Mr. Forbes said he
felt there_was the need for a sec-
ond one. He said he favored the
purchase of the second grader, as
it would prove to he a more use-
ful piece of equipment than a
truck. Stones and brush along the
sides of the township roads made
the cutting of weeds a . difficult
job, he remarked. He added that
when the roads are widened, _he,
would suggest that - "we should
clean up as we go along—remov-
ing stones and brush."
When the township mill rate • is
lowered, after the township's share
to the Goderich Hospital wing is
paid, Forbes suggested that this
money be used to fix roads and
"do" bridges. He felt that the
township bridges were very much
outdated—and that the actual cost
of reconstructing or replacing
them would see an 80% grant from
the government.
Relief Situation
Grant H. Stirling, a 1957 mine, -
calor, said that as the' township
relief officer he came to the con-
clusion that relief is "quite a head-
ache." "With the Ontario Govern-
ment paying a 60% grant, you do
the dirty work, and they'll tell you
what to do. But you can't see
people starving," he said. Cost
this year for relief has been $285,
and up until the present there has
been two families receiving relief.
Another has been added to the
list just recently, he said.
Referring to W. J. Forbes' sug-
gestion about a bylaw re dumping
of rubbish on side roads, Mr. Stirl-
ing claimed that when the side
roads were cleaned up there
shouldn't be any problem.
Mr. Stirling said there was a
need for 'fixing up the three rail-
way crossings in the township.
This should not prove to be too
costly as the Board of Transport
pays 60%, the railway company'
15%, leaving the township with.
Only 25'7 of the cost to pay, he
said. s.
Kenneth C. Merner, also a 1951
councillor, spoke very briefly. He
said that relief in the township
"might be a problem." Ire felt
the - council made a wise move
y7 en it repurchased a -second
,der.
