Chisholm reports. hard to walk
away from them," he said in urging upon
•C'o my Council the provision for more
spae. His predecessor, Mr. who
.gave many years of devoted serviee to the
museum, ' had aliTady ealled attention to
the need, wand Mr. Chisholm pressed the
platter at January session of county council.
The proposal is for an addition 80 feet
by 60 feet, costing. something like $12,000.
The curator hopes to see it built this year,
so that reeeption of new articles inay be no
longer restrieted, and the -7,000 article OP

" Reeve A.1). Smith of Tarnberr-y;-chair-
ivan of last 'car's .property committee, de-
glared the ,museum scum -` "one -of - t e , finest, and
one of-thelargest, in Ontario.'.,'" It was
toured in 1964 by 21,692 persons, drawing
visitot`s ;,from surprising distances. The
number of bus -loads of students on spon-
sored bus trips is most impressive.
It may not be generally known that
admission fees cover maintenance costs of
the museum, and there is a provincial
grant, so that it is not a charge, financially,
upon the county and its, member munic-
ipalities. Mr.-Ohisholm makes out a good
ease for the desired addition, and the need
must be well known to at least three of
„the six mem-hers of the property committee,
who served thereon last year : Dputy Reeve
E. Hayter, Stanley, this year's chairman,
Reeve Ivan Haskins, Howiek, a former
ehairnlan, and' Reeve Stewart Procter of
Morris. It` is reasonable to expect favor-
able (consideration also from Reeve Reg.
Jewell,
Goderich; Reeve Nelson Cardno,
Seaforth, and Reeve Thomas Leiper, Hui -

as indicatecrin the fel'lowing
in The Huron Signal: "The

insertion in our 'present issue.
'Besides it is too severe -land
personal. The conduct of Cal.
Mongan in offending the pub-

spicable as the appointment

into my church for private

that a steady flow of people
will continue to do thus during
the next 20 hours. I have al-

the. great Saints spend hours
per day in prayer and medita-

The Bible is the wpre e
classic. It is , a treasu a -house
of devotional literatu' e, par-
ticularly the book of Psalms.
Consider the opening ords of
desireth the "waterbroq'ks, so
lontetlh my soul aftor thee, 0

of the deep have I called upto
thee, 0 Lord; Lord, hear my

51: `tM'ake me a clean heart, 0
'God, and renew a right spirit

.the classified advertising columns
of 'Phe Signal -Star last rwee`k, under the
heading of `' Lost and Found'', appeared
the -following, inserted and paid for by
a Goderiell ratepayer:
"LOST, ONE BYILAW --- :Believed
-,�M. to lililrt parkin - flours. Anyone able o give infor,rna-
tion., as to its whereabouts should write

For some Persons it. -provided amuse-

wonderment. -
..So, what's become of the two-hour
parking limit bylaw for the Square and
for a...portion of the streets running off
The • Square ?
Town C err k S. H. Blake pointed 'out
that• the bylaw was passed On June 5,t11`
- 'of last year. It was approved by the De-
pt rtment of Transport on June 16th.
But -it was not to come into effect
til such a time as the signs on Mile streets
were erected warning'-.mo'tor ists of this by-
-NW.-
y-
-Byte:....The""signs arrived in Goderich late
last fall - more than 75 of them at a cost
of over $300. Since the Christmas, shop-
= firing season 'was Anse -at hand it was de -
'u ;cl not to put 11p the slim, at that time.
'I'llis might. provoke Christmas shoppers,
particularly from out of town, bY- being
fined for parking over two hours in a limi-
ted parking area.. Then,, cane January
and heavy snowfalls with cold' weather.-:
Putting up the sins meant digging post
holes in nllany instances. ti'P11"3. do this in
the cold weather when digging was diffi-
cult? And was, the. parking bylaw really
neeessary in winter? $rich were the
,,.thoughts` of those in charge of putting up
the signs.
Finally, from the chairman of the pub-
1 ie works committee, Joe 117o`ody, came the,
final explanation as to why the 'signs are
not. up ,now. Chairman - Moody explains
fia' - they will be put up - but later in the
season when th'e weather is more suitable
and the work involved. in pu fting up the
signs will Trot be so difficult.° Besides, it
.isfelt, th Pxc_is rip mtent need for the �a
present.
But they will be going up, said chair-
' man Moody. Only balmier weather will
detertine ,just exactly when they will be
pnt up. (:lassffied ads do get results, but
inthis ease the results will be slight-
ly- affected by the weather.

Yup, we are . on a mattress ° kick again
but with good reason. We have what we
consider a real deal on Simmons quality mat
'
t esses.Simmons have a slogan which says
"More people sleep on SIMMONS than any
other brand of mattress." We like to inter-
pret it this way : "More people - SLEEP 011
Simmons than any other brand of '-1 patt>t ess."
Since we've been carried away by .,the
qual,ity of this mattress, let's gets bac to__
t e subject' at hand. The deal we have at
the moment is on the second highest priced.
mattress.. This unit usually sells for. 79.50
but for a limited time we will be offering it
at the price of their second lowest priced
unit of 59.50.
This unit features quality Micro -Quilt
nylon tricot cover with bouyant construe -
tion, crush -proof pre -built border -= also °
matching box - spring. The box sprig, in-; M-
cidentally, is also 59.50, if you demi- o pur-
chase the pair.
Now' you know that . we copied the above
features from a Simmons brochure but we
believe everything they say about it because
we know what ,goes into it. We also know
• what wonderful restful nights' people areget-
• ting who purchased these - mattresses in "the ' _
past.
Don't Take our word for it;' come on in -
and lie down on' one of these mattresses.
Have a couple- of • hours sleep on it if . you '
like; it will just prove our point. If you are
downtown and you .v a> ta•, st_why- not -;come- ..
in and -relac on one of the Deepsleep ' Matt-
resses? - This is really kind of sneaky. We
feel sure that once you have. experienced the
solid comfort,, you - will` have us deliver one
for - use - every night. t •
