IT'S A SQUASH
The photo flashback in last
week's -Signal-+Star was that of
a huge squash -not a .pumpkin.
It was taken,by the famed Gode-
rich photographer, Sallows. The
squash, which weighed- 403
pounds, was grown by William
Warnock of Goderich, who was
shown standing im,mediately be-
hind it. The two little girls
seen seated on top of the huge
squash are today Mrs. Grace
Guest of Winnipeg and Mrs.
Iris Sperling of Goderich. The
squash was exhibited - at the
World's Fair at Chicago , the
year it was grown.

A classified advartisement in

"Fallingbrook — The Melefehen

significance ,for Goderich resl.-

It is the home of the late
Gordon McMehen, .former. Gode-
rich, resident, ' and is in • the
$125,000 category of value,
Gordon McMehen was the pre-
sident of a large independent
fuel oil distributing company
in Toronto. He was .one of
three sons of the late If..J: Mc-
Mehen, who for many years
was resident manager for Im-
perial Oil at Goderich. All
three of the boys and a sister,
Margaret, attended Goderich

forward to joining that group.

For centuries, things remained
