Depressed by a eport to the Gordon Com-
mission, an Ontario newspaper warns that tre-
xriendous urban growth is "sucking in vast
hordes of Canadians," Facing the full ¢oti-
ditictils of city life, it continues,' "we must
work out v♦'ays to live within these human
ant -hills as sensibly as we can," in this eon-
h,ection, Reforms Minister Dymond notes that
urban conditions often bring' crowded living
quarters, opportunities for unhealthy leistire
activities and other depressed standards of
living. "
The other side -of the picture is. that
people do not have to live in large -urban
centres; most Canadians don't. The six most
populous cities sheltered, at the time of the
1956 census, just 1i`"�..of.th-r Dominion total.
Government statistics classify as urban all
incorporated cities, towns and,. villages, some
of ,which are as rural • as can be. Ontario has;
324 such "urban" centres, the great majorit-

ICJ? G9BRt1IDGE, April 21.—,Mr.
and -A t ,Tames Moore and baby,
of Detroit, have . been visiting with
Mrs. Martha O'Neill and family for
the past week:
Miss Betty Becker is visiting with
her cousin, Mrs. Louis Hogan, and
family- IMrs. Hogan spent last
week -end with relatives in Tor-
onto:
'Mr: and -Mrs: A: 1tartnran, of
Kitchener, attended the funeral of
the late -Mrs. Monk, of Goderich,
and visited with the—Clifton Austin
family on ' Wednesday of last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Garvey and
fittle granddaughter, of Toronto,

Mrs. Jack Kineey,,of Detroit, and
Mrs: Jerry Dalton, of Parkhill, are

Miss Margaret.Foley, of Strath -
ray, Miss Franc.es4Gilmore, of Lon-

don, were other visitors at their
homes.
Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Perry and

Huron is one of a dozen or so Ontario
counties without a city. Its towns happen to
be 'surrounded, as the member for North Mid-
dlesex said at the PC convention in Clinton,
by "some of the finest farming country to be.
found in Ontario.',' Their dependence. upon
agriculture was stressed by several speakers
on that occasion. Said Charles McNaughton,
chosen as. candidate for the Legislature :•
"There is no community to which the pros-
parity of agriculture means more."
Goderich, however, must confess to being
urban. Alone in the county, it is so classified
fur electoral purposes and its voters' lists are
compiled by enumeration. Besides, it is at
times an asset to be urban. I)r. E.' A. Mc-
Master, of Seaforth', dis issing at Clinton the
1.300 -heel hospital to be erected on the shore
of. Lake IHu.ron, pointed out that it "can ofily
be in the vicinity of Goderich, because it must
be near a large centre."
A CHILLY DIVE
Donning their ' frog suits,
Bruce and Allan MacDonald
dove down through. some 24
feet of chilly lake wa' to
locate a .break in the fog horn
cable at the Harbor on Wed-
nesday of last week. The.
break was located beside the
south breakwater. The ice
an¤ts had broken the
cable. The Department of
Transport has temporarily re-
' paired the break in--order-that
the fog horn might be avail-
able to give warning to lake
craft when necessary.

45 Years Agit
W. Proudfoot, MGA for Centre
Huron, createda sensation in pro-
vincial ' political 'circles' by sub-
mitting serious charges of corrupty
conduct against - the premier and
the provincial, secretary. The
charges were in connection with
the dealings of 'a private firm and
the governihent.
If you are afraid to laugh, don't
go to 'hear the Menesetung Canoe
Club Minstrels, warted The Signal.
Those who 'had seen- a preview of
the show predicted there would
be packed houses for the two -night
appearance at the Opera House.
251 Years Ago
For the first time in history,
the Town of ' Goderich and Town-
ship of Colborne were in separate
provincial ridings. The town was
placed in South Huron riding when
the 'ridings of North Huron and
South Bruce were amalgamated
into Huron -Bruce.
After 'writing off $4,969 for de-
preciation, the local hydro -electric
system showed a net loss of $1,193
for 1932. A surplus would have
been shown if the local commission
had not been required to make
payments on account of New York
exchange on provincial bonds.
Some 40 district men—farmers,
merehants, clergymen, mechanics,
retired gentlemen, etc.—gathered
at North Street United Church to
,discuss the current economic situ-
ation. Dr. Mortimore, of Auburn,
presided. Rev. W. J. Patton, of
`B'bnniiller, was praised for his non-
denominational efforts in relief
work.
15 Years Ago •
Captains Beatty and Sykes, ship-
pers of the Algorail and Algoway,
did not exactly defy the "Friday
scourge" when they ,cleared from
this port shortly after the noon
hour on Friday to" start the season.
As an appeasement to the 'super-
stitious members o% their crews,
they broke the "jinx" the day be-
fore by moving their "boats from -
their winter berths to the end of
the piers, headed out into the lake.
And so they were "on their way"
on Thursday—not Friday.
Turing a visit to Goderich, Col.
George Drew, leader of the Pro-
gressive Conservatives in Ontario,
made some interesting- comments
on hydro. The opposition leader
said: "There should be a uniform
rate. Municipalitieshereabouts
have long since retired the cost
of transmission lines."
An April 16, the town snow-
plows were out to clear the side-
walks- after a heavy, snowfall.
