Architect Leonard Huget tote 'council an addition to the pre- sent court house at Goderieh is not feasible. No provision was made at the time the present building was erected for an additional storey or two.

Earlier this session the pro- perty committee informed coun- cil that a $500 option had been taken on a property located at South street, Britannia road and Picton street, owned l:er the town, two blocks south of the court house.

Mr. and Mrs. Warren spent the latter part of July in „Nor- way, and the pictures taken there were shown on this oc- casion. From Bergen, second largest city, with a magnificent harbor, the visitors were taken up the coast as far as North Cape, within .sight of the Rus- sian border, and into many of the fiords with -which that coast abounds. They called at Tromsoe, Harstad, Trondheim with its long fiord, and Oslo, the capital. In the latter city they visited the museum, with several ships of Viking origin preserved, and also saw an 800 - year -old church of Oriental architecture, a relic of the Vik- ings. The Evangelical Lutheran church is Norway's state church, Mr. Warren explained, and is under the Minister of Churches s.and Education. Its -clef gar.

Ben Corless, Manager Goderich Branch Bank of Montreal This 'is my personal re- port to you olrl what the dol- lars 'you entrusted to us did in 1961. It must start with a `.`thank you" for the trust which you — and three million fellow Canadians — have shown in the Bank of Montreal, by depositing your savings with us. Throughout 1961 your bank kept that money working;._ hard for private inctfviduals and for -the community as' a whole, through loans and investments. Mitch of than money went to people in all walks of life. to finance purchases of 'all kinds. It went to small andfiarge busi- nesses, expanding their operations. It helped crl-ate new jobs, it assisted farmers to improve their farms... built new schools and financed researeh and educa- tion . . . it paid for new roads and community modernization. Every section of the country, and people in every walk of life, benefited by the money Cana- dians entrusted to the B of M. Clearly, in 1961 these doposit-dollars of yours did a double job of work. They helped to build your future, and they did a big job in helping to make for abetter future for Canada as a whole.

Haysorri, Bell Tele- phone manager here, said this. week that about._ 35,770 copies of the 1961 directory will be distributed throughout the area served by the Stratford-Gode- rich directory. Telephone users in Goderich will receive 2.9511 _copies of the - 1961 telephone book, compared with 2,800 a year ago. ' "Use your new ''cfi'reet6fy,' Mr. Haysom : said. "Continued use of the old one may lead to wrong numbers since the new book contains - many- --hew-'--and-- changed listings." Mr. Haysom said that a good way to avoid confusion and wrong numbers ' because of changed and new listings is for. each subscriber to bring his Blue Book of Telephone Num- bers or other personal lists of numbers, up to date and. to consult them before placing a call. Extra copies of"the Blue Book, in two sizes, may be ob- tained from any Bell business office. A feature of the front cover of this year's directory is a sketch of the harbor here'.. This draw- - ing replaces the illustration of . the Shakespearean Festival Theatre at Stratford, which 'ap- peared on last year's book. The Stratford-Goderich djree tory also serves Hensall, Clin- ton, Mitchell, Monkton, Seaforth, Tavistock, Listbwel and St. Marys.
