ctyports Give Storage
or Final Grain Lo.acs
The Port of Goderich is men-
tioned ,prominently' in a ' ship-
ping article by F. K. McKean,
B.Sc` of Parry Sound which was
published recently on the lin-
anoial page of the Regina
Leader -Post, in which he dis-
cusses the,use of the Bayports
for winter grein storage.
"What happens to those last
shiploads of grain which leave
the lakehead elevators in mid-
December through newly fornix
ed ice in the harbors and banks
of fresh fog on Lake Superior?"
he asks, and then goes on to
answer the question: "
"These last ships of the sea-
son must go to the Bayports-
Goderich on Lake Huron, Owen
Sound, Collingwo.bd, Midlan'l
and Port McNicoll 9f Georgian
Bay. At that time of year the
lower Seaway channels, and
sometimes even the Welland
Canal between Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario, are closed by
winter. But the men in control
would make no other choice
even -if -they -could,- for_ the Bay -
ports, with their adequate elev-
ator capacity and facilities for
handling grain- for local _con-
sumption or shipment oversea,

Tired - of the long hard

It may help to think back s
bit as Mrs. Burton Roach of
Goderich has been, t_o the win-

three months of the hardest
winter seen ine these parts 'for
a long, long time:
At that time Mrs. Roachwas
