Dear Mr. Ellis:
On behalf of the Goderich
Bissets, Men's Softball Club, I
wish to express our sincere ap-
preciation for the excellent
space that you provided in your
newspaper, for the weekly ac-
counts of our softball games
this past summer.
We would also like to thank
you for running the little notice
for back copies of the Signal -
Star which we were trying to
obtain. We have received over
40 calls from people who saved
their newspapers and had the
various copies that we wanted.
Within the next month or so,
we are planning to hold a din-
ner and dance for the team axed.

ipal nomination meeting is only about
four weeks away. F'riday, November 24.
to be exact ! It's not ti>c, soon to do son le
thinking, about -it. °
Citizens in most other municipalities
are not unlike those of (=oderich in the
matter of giving due considoration-'-to
matters 'OT a WinnicipaT nafirre. For ex-
ampie, The Exeter Times -Advocate scums
.things up nicely regarding Exeter which
also, applies „to Goderich and scores of
other municipalities.
Says The Times -Advocate: "Too' oft-
en, municipal elections in this area have
been a case pf finding enough candi-
dates to fill the posts. It's on record that,
more than once, municipalities have had
'to call second nominations to secure snffi-
eient representatives.
`1 s this an example' .of. the -gray . we
cherish the freedom we've fought on num-
erous occasions to maintain, the same

payers; these days. Yet most town, village
and township councils are handling hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars every year.
That kind of Money is easy to spend, but
ills not so easy to spend vrisel, p rtie-
iilarly when there is, so much for which it
can be used.
"With sewerage systems, subdivision
development, municipal planning, capital
budget forecasts and many ,other import-
ant eonsiderations facing most councils, it
should not be a question of filling the seats.
The concern 'should be to elect the best
men available.
it's not too soon for citizens in
every municipality to begin thinking about
their responsibilities in this -department.
Let's not leave it until the day after nom-
