"The students and myself
feel we are taking part in a
development very important to
the life of Canada," Ilarry Ball,
at Waterloo Iniversity staff,
said .in speaking to Goderieh
Rotary Club. Co;ordinator and
vocational' counsellor at the
University, Mr. Ball Ave' spec-
ial attention, in his address, to
the co-oPerative feature. e
"Waterloo," he said, "is th'"'
Only eo-operative university in
Canada," starting out with the
arts and scien,ces, then co-oper-
ative engineering courses. Now
the co-operative ideais being
expanded &o that weelieve post-
graduate courses, in engineer-
ing on the co-operative bases:
It is also being expanded into,
the arts field, In Septemper
the university will starta co-
operative .course in honor math;
emetics. Requirements will be
546% in niaths and science and
slanted .to computer work with
special reference to insurance
cempanies -and actuarial work.
' "This is only a beginning, and
L, am quite sure •„some of the
other universities are' going to
find that to look after kicreas-
ed registration of s,evererthons-
and 'they will have to go into
this thing. • The people at Wat-
erloo feel this is a realistic and
imaginative approach to the
probleins of registration." .
39 From Huron
Mr.r. Ball said there- are 39
Huron county students at Wat-
erloo, 19 in engineering. Gode-
rich has sent a half-dozen. •
' "Goderich has done very well

The spirited history of th•e
Goderich Elevator and Transit
.Company; a- company that foie-
ght its. way up 'through. two
fires add' drastically changing
condition's, was, outlined Feb-
ruary 13 to the Goderich Lions
Club by a past president Of the
club and the -com.pany'S acting;
manager, George, Parsons.
last year, Mr. _Parsons said,
the Company shipped, mOre than
two rnillion. bushels of grain
overseas out. of s total business
of 10 million bushels.
The comPany, started in '1866
, t

day, he said, •
The elevator's hjstory dates
to 1859 When the .Canada,Com-
pany deeded land on the water-
front for the Company, a group
of businessmen who hoped to
make geed with the preferen-
tial shipping rates to, the Unit-
ed States,
1/11872, Mre„Persone ,Said, a
start was made, on the present
eric ions
man:made harbor. By.1880 the
pattern of shippinwheat from
Chigago had broken down never
to resume. From 'that time',
the company etarted, 'bringing
in a strange hard wheat from
the Canadian West, by way of
the Lakehead. ,
•At.various tirrieS°, ,Mr. Parsons
said, the company Was owned
by one of the founder's of the.
Ogilvy Flour Mills, by the grain
dealers; James Richardson,' and
by- the Grand' Trunk Railway
Company, now part af Canadian
National'.,
..eleetroyed 'ethe wooden

the tOwnsneople, with the help
of the town council, organized
the preSept Goderich Elevator
and. Transit Company.
Again in 1905, the elevator,.
was ,destroyed by fire. This
time with a southerly wind, as
with last November's mill fire,
the, tcrwn was saved.,ifrom de-
struction.

and concrete, and reopened in
1907.
• Two years- lafer the growing'

a steel tower for 'faster grain
handlin.g. In 1923 and .again
in 1929 the elevator expanded.
• Today, the (31evator":directly
'serves nine counties and one
million people.
Mr. Parson's said the St. Law-
rence Seaway has ha.d.4'irtuaily
no effects" on Goderich's grain
trade since the elevator has
concentrated on domestic trade.
At the same tifrie, he said, the
SeVa)ftims...,414
elevator's business ,er er.
The trend,. he...said, "is. to
purchase more and 'more West
ern ,grains." Mr. Parsons tam
'mented the •East is 'finding it
difficult to keep up with animal
feed production.' He predicted
this would benefit the flow -of
Western wheat to Goderich.

Story of Guiding
The following Story Of

perience and thinking, he de-
veloped Scouting for Boys.
in 1909 as the 'fiilst Scout
Rally began; a 'handful of girls
appeared dressed vaguely like
their brothers, to the disguet
of -the boys and at first their
Chief. These. girls called them-
•selve.S Girl Scouts' and—asked
the Chief to inspect them. The
Chiet -decided: -thateethe-,
9hou1d have a name of their
own and called us after a 'fam-
ous Indian regiment, the Corps
of Guides. These first Guides
were the ,pioneers of a move -
met that oniekly spread
throughout the' world

Guiding came to .,Canada. in
'November, 1909, and the first

lee were being formed in towns
and cities across Canada. *

known of the Crirl Guide Move-
ment and the only 'material the
comPanies had was a printed
sheet containing the 'Guide Pro -
rase And Law, and a few badge

managed to teach the ,Guides
