for quite a while yet since her
research work is to continue
throughout the winter months
also. Built as •an ice breaker,
she' will have little difficulty in'
getting in and out of Goderich
harbor during the winter or
through the ice fields of Lake
Huron.
Lakeshore residents have not-
iced some weird goings-on this
summer as the specialists aboard
the Porte Dauphine recorded
flora and fauna of this area and
also charted the water currents.
These mysterious movements in-

earth 'must be covered with
something and how lovely it
would be to have a flower garden
along there, similar to the one,
along Springbank Drive in Lon-

This would cost more than
,plain grass, but I've been think-
ing perhaps people with flower
gardens could donate plants.
Then, since wreaths last such a
very short time, perhaps little
plots, -'in loving memory could
be planted, and be a more last-
ing tribute. Almost everyone
has a particular "memory flow-

tain people or things to mind.
