September is "Arthritis
Month"in Canada, and based on
a detailed study of direct
benefits provided by The
Canadian Arthritis and
Rheumatism Society during the
past year to citizens of Goderich
suffering from _ the rheumatic
diseases, The Goderich Rotary
Club is currently sponsoring its
second annual campaign to raise
$1,000 as this community's
share toward the support of the
society's total program of
patient -care services, research,
professional education, . • and
public information.
While a direct appeal is being
made to business, industry,'
professional and • selected
citizens, members of the
campaign committee, headed by
Mr. Norman S. McIntyre,
manager .of the Royal Bank,
emphasize that contributions are
invited, and badly needed, from
all citizens in order to reach the
objective.
In addition to home -care
professional services which are
available to local physicians in
the care of their arthritic
patients the most significant
development in the society's
program in the past year was the
opening in Loddon of the
society co-sponsored Rheumatic
Disease Unit.
This specialized facility,
provides the optimum . in
long-term intensive
rehabilitation • treatment
designed to prevent disability
and restore arthritis sufferers to
a greater degree of

Outfall problem may be"solved'
Goderich, Town Council May
be able to come to an agreement
with the Robarts family on the
proposed outfall sewer for Elgin
Avenue. • ,
Reeve' Harry Worsell told
council last week he and other
members of council had met
again with Richard Roberts, son
of Mrs. Paul Robarts who owns
the property,' and .it appeared
Mr. Robarts would agree to part
of the property being used
providing heavy machinery, used
to excavate the ' area, keeps to
town property.
Reeve Worsell said engineering
consultants B. M. Ross and
Associates had staked the line of
the proposed sewer outfall and.
showed less of the Robarts
property would be required than
had previously been thought. He
said the angle of the line would
take some of the property near
the bank top but felt most of
the work would be on town
property.
He said Mr. -Roberts had
repeated his offer to buy
Hibernia Terrace, if council
should decide to sell, but in, the
opinion of the reeve the" town
should hold the property ' for
possible future use.
He suggested council have an
offer to purchase drawn up on
the part of Robarts property
required and submitted it to Mr.
Robarts for consideration.
Council agreed.
In other business, William
Leitch, the man authorized by
the town earlier this year to
catch skunks,. has asked that the
bounty be raised by $1.50 per
skunk: Mr. Leitch said he had to
check traps ' several times each
day and felt the $2.50 paid by
the town was not enough. He
said that at one house he made

pointed- out- a $2.50 fee is also
supposed to be collected from
the 'property owners making the
total amount per skunk $5. Mr.
Leitch, apparently, had not been'
collecting the added amount, it
was pointed out. The finance
committee will consider ' the
matter.
*The question of a stop work
order brought against D. B.
Millian, on a house he is building
on Oxford Street, was discussed.
Mr. Milli -ants house was reported
by a neighbor' as not having the
proper set back. She refused to
give her name, the building
inspector told council. He said
the problem had occurred when
the set ba !1rhad been measured
from the centre line of the
travelled portion of the road,
which did not coincide with the
survey centre line. The building
inspector felt Mr.. Millian acted
in good faith but on advice of
town solicitor Ken Hunter issued
the stop work order. Council
will discuss the matter further in
one week. -
