With clearance space overhead Sometimes dan- gerously aogerously low, it was decided some time -ago to close up the tunnel so as to avoid possible mishaps.- Then, this year came a petition to have it re -opened to facilitate the movements of anglers in_boats travelling from the harbor to the river, In reply to such a, request, Mr, A. Y. Young, Deputy Min- ister of Transport, wrote the following letter to Goderich Town.

These choirs were under the direction of Mr. Herman'vde Jong. Mr William Bettger accompanied on the organ. " The anthems sung by the in dividual and combined choirs with renditions by the male quartette climaxed in the pre- sentation of 'Gloria" by Farmer and "And the Glory of the Lord," by Handel. The male quartette composed of Messrs. Glen Lodge, Richard Watson, Lorne Hyde and Ralph Henderson sang, "How Great Thou Art" with arrangement by H. de Jong and "All Hail The Power" by Ellor.

Car- diff, M.P., has also made repre- sentations in .support of your. request. A thorough investigation into this matter hasH now leen com- pleted. This investigation has indicated that it would not be feasible to re -open this tunnel in its present; dimensions, be- cause of. its dangerously -low overhead clearance. Evidently, it would only be possible to use the tunnel safely during periods of low water. "Two alternative suggestions have also been considered, and these involve, firstly, raising the roof of the exist' g tunnel, and, secondly, the destruction of a completely new// tunnel. Aside from the high cost of (hese alter- native solutions, which would be difficult to justify in any -case, each project would involve the removal of three lines of railway track and the cutting of the roadway to the Sifto Salt Co. Such action on our part would undoubtedly result in strong ob-• jections from the railway and the Salt Co." "Moreover, our investigation has shown that no significant hardshi fl ' has resulted to small - boat owners, From 'the closing of the old tunnel in 1955. In fact, we have been informed • that the consensus of local opin- ion is against opening of this tunnel. "In these circumstances, there- fore. I regret that it will not be possible t3' approve this work." MISS IDA WHITE IS SPEAKER AT WMS The W.M.S. meeting of Knox Presbyterian Church saw Mil: C. Straughan presiding in the absence of the president, through illness. Miss MacArthur reported -12 hospital calls and 34 home calls. Mrs. J.
