A FINE" situation this, and it that Christmas Parade — no" has been this way for years and foolin'! Well — some fooling — years. Some of these times we but you will all enjoy it. , should tell -you who the greatest I have found there ARE some peopla inthis town just as concerned as •I about the parade situation and are most anxious to help "GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD!" They, too, are disgusted that a town this size should leave such an important event as a Santa Parade, to the Town. Firemen ,and let them struggle along as best they can. The Firemen have done an excellent job over the years but they can only go so FAR. It is up to us to carry it farther. The merchants don't want the kids leaving The Square as it may take a parent with him, so theythink it's, OK for them to stand and freeze just. to keep everyone "uptown". This is pretty small potatoes, as with a good program the parents would be free to shop while the kids were visiting Santa. A lot of merchants" in this town , cry about too little business at Christmas time to warrant them putting in a decent stock — but what are they doing about it? Many of them can afford to go along as they are, quite satisfied, — but the other fellows who need more business are tied hand and foot because they cannot do anything withdut the co-operation of all offenders are and then, perhaps, they might not be so smug: Anyway, we have as a start, some who are anxious to create a basis for this and future Parades and put the name of Goderich up where it belongs - with the Christmas shoppers. We will need lots of helpers —1 but making things, can. always be fun. We will let you know, next week, something definite and I hope you will come out to help — speak up! Volunteer! This is the only way ,to get a job done. The Rotary Club is working to raise money to help conquer those cripplers — arthritis and rheumatism. This is a worthwhile program and you should give as much as you can because if you haven't already felt the icy fingers of these diseases you know that sooner or later you are going to. To date there seems no stopping it — •and what a thing to look forward to! Drop your donation into the Royal Bank and help these fellows help you — and me! I haven't heard much from the '. groups and organizationss but I know your meetings are just getting started. I wish you would write me of anything you are planning to which the general public is invited. I'll help you TALK about it — how about THAT?
