M.P.T---Urges Delegation On Area Unempl�ymen' Spirited discussion Of the local unemployment situation took place in MacKay.. Hall Saturday night when Elston Cardiff, MP for Huron, spoke at a special meetiog spon- sored by Blue Water Lodge No. 1863, International Association of Machinists. Many members of the union nor-' mally work at 'Dominion Road Ma- chinery Co. Ltd. here but - were laid off several weeks ago. On ac- count of the large number - of laid - off members, the union; arranged some time ago for Mr. Cardiff to come here to discuss what could be done: The MP told 'ills audience that his hand might be strengthened if Goderich would send a Small dele- gation to Ottawa to see Prime Minister Jahn Diefenbaker. The delegation • could' 'i'm'press' the P►VI with that fact that it is trying to promote Canadian -manufactured goods for Canadians, he suggested. Mr. Cardiff felt that the PM, who is opposed to over-depend- 'ence on the United States,, would - give a sympathetic ear to this line of argument. - Just what the federal govern- ment might do to help the local situation was not defined at the meeting, though there was some discussion about effo%ts to lower duties on local products exported to 'the U.S. - . Buy Canadian J. K. Sully, general manager of Dominion Road Machinery 'CO. Ltd. guest. He at the meeting. was at g asked Mr. Cardiff if the federal government could be influenced to promote a "Buy Canadian" pro- gram similar to the "Do It Now" program that is being promoted Across the nation -. currently. Mr. Cardiff said that„ a govern- ment plan to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $245,000 to $265,000 on the local harbor has been "on the go" for some time. (In January, 1957, it was,. announc- ed that the federal goveenment had ear -marked' $100;009 ,for dred,. ging and $80,000` for repairs to the breakwall at Goderich harbor.) Mr. Cardiff expressed the hope that something can be dofie to give more protection to small fish- ing boats which are based --here. With some direction from °Town Council, a portion of the govern- ment allocation might be diverted to improvements to Snug Harbor, he suggeseetl. Mayor Ernie C. Fisher comment- ed: "Mr. Cardiff, I'm glad you said that. Just last night, we passed. a resolution that more money be spent on ,.the harbor and Snug Harbor." • • Housing Project During the question ° period, J.

'As soon as it heard° the rumor, the commission' went into action and endeavored to trace it. Fin- ally, a few days ago, the corrimis- sion received a letter from K. M. ':Mitchell, administrative assistant of Canadian Kodak. Mr. Mitchell wrote: ,. .. "The information you have re- ceived, indicating that we are con- } sidering an expansion program that would require a move to another location, is incorrect. We have ample acreage at our present site. (in Toronto) to- accommodate any expansion which may be neces- sary in the forseeable future." In addition to contacting „_the company, the Industrial Commis- sion made an exhaustive check of other sources county officials, banks, railways, etc..—to see if there was any basis to the rumor: On Wednesday of this week.

At the University Hospital, there were no mattresses for the beds. Mrs, Easter, herself, did the plan- ning for desks, drug cupboards, etc. The RAF gave them khaki cloth.

The Assessment Act was check ed after Reeve Donnelly asked how the piping would be assessed. Mr. Fleming indicated that . the gas may- be brought into town in a -six or eight -inch pipe and distributed within Goderich via four -inch pip- ing. Four -inch piping would be as- sessed at, 55c per foot; pipes from 6" to 6%" are assessed at 98c per foot ,and 2" pipes are assessed at 17c per foot. There are 44 miles of streets in Goderich _it was staled. The Union Gas representatives said that their company would be pleased to buy natural gas ha Huron County if it becomes avail- able in sufficient quantities. Councillor C. M. Robertson ask: ed if Goderich consumers would be charged the same rate for na- tural gas as users in Mitchell and other district communities. "1 would think that you would, be charged exactly" the same rate," replied Mr. :Gee. This would be uie to the Ontario . Fuel Board, which sets the rates, he stated - Following up Councillor Robert- son's obertso'n's question, Reeve James Don- • nelly explained to the -Union Gas representatives that Goderich has bad an unhappy experience with Ontario Hydro (Goderich • is charg- ed more for electric power than are other centres on the same line). -Standard Rate - Mr. Fleming stated that the gas rate proposed for Goderich is the same as that ,. for Stratford, St. Marys, Kitchener -Waterloo and Guelph. 1f natural gas can compete with hydro , iii Mitchell and if the same price - is maintained in Goderich, where hydro costs more than in Mitchell, Reeve Donnelly - asked it this meant that gas . would be under -selling hydro in Goderich The Union Gas representatives were not able to give a definite answer to this. .As to how widely the gas would be distributed ' within Goderich, Mr. Fleming indicated that mains would be laid wherever the com- pany can find a reasonable number' 'of otential users. Gas appliances would be ser- viced free, Council was told. The cost of service would be included in the basic rate charged to users. As much local labor as' possible would be used in construction,. said Mr.:Fleming. Texas Is Source The company is at present secur- ing its gas from Texas, but ex- pects xpects to buy gas from the Trans Canada Co. within a year or two., Mr. Fleming said that natural gas is noxi -toxic; that is, it doesn't get into the bloodstream ala man- ufactured gas does. However, na- tural gas is still lethal. - "If gas is escaping, you can smell it in a second." resassured Mr. Gee. „ Mr.. Fleming said that an ex- perienced plumber can install gas appliances. In most communities, where Union Gas distributes ria, tural gas, the firm maintains arra outlet where appliances are sold. The cost of the public hearing will• be paid by the company, Council was told. Mayor Fisher estimated that the PWIr 1111 .4,000 per ar in taxes on the piping provided service is ex- ended to all, streets. I/ Name Proposed Police Commission •MAYptt,, B. C.
