The Goderich "Miles For
Millions" Walk on Saturday,
May 3, not onlyy needs people to
,walk, but also needs people to
RUN — the Walk. Organizing a
Walk requires a great diversity of
talents and abilities, as well as
many people.
The jINGDOC had sailed
from her winter . quarters in
Detroit the previous evening and
"had fine sailing," according to
her captain. No ice was sighted
until she arrived off Goderich
and the ship made good time
through the three miles of ice
that still lay off -shore.
Only at one point did she
appear to be having difficulty,
just outside the harbour
entrance and the tugs of
MacDonald Marine , under
skippers Donald Bert McAdam
and Allan MacDonald, went out
to stand by but sere not called
to assist.
The KINGDOC was first
sighted a little before 10 a.m.
about °five miles south of the
harbour. She, entered the main
channel at noon and saileTi'rom
the Sifto dock 'with 5,000 tons
of salt for Port Alfred, Que. at

listed in teh bylaw as $25, was
too high (Goderich had set a fee
of $20 for females, $4 for males) '
and also suggested a clause that.
gave the dog control officer,
'authority to destroy any injured

Council last week approved
the recommendations of the
harbour committee to rehire
Alex Wilkins as dock
superintendent at Snug Harbour.
Deputy Reeve. Walter
Sheardown was opposed to the
acceptance of the report
suggesting the town should
tender out the marina operation
at Snitg Harbour. He said the
operation was "taking the bread
and butter oui"of the mouth of a
man across the' harbour."'
Coun. Deb Shewfelt said he
was not opposed' to hiring Mr.
Wilkins for the lob, but
suggested it would be better to
tender for the, position to give
other residents an opportunity.
Coun. Reg Jewell, a member
of the harbour committee,
opposed the $55 per Week wage
recommended by the committee_
stating
stating the committee. had
' agreed on a $45. per week wage
