Although Faster was very
chiller id .1970, did we really
expect_ x*ch, else`? 'After
Easter in March is bound to be •
something' less than warm and
balmy. -
Our family went home for
Easter. There is something about
worship tin your own church
with folks'you have known all
your life that warms your heart
to the very core.
Traditionally, Palm Sunday in
our congregation is confirmation
Sunday, too.. And on Easter
Sunday, the confirmation class'
joins the congregation for the
first time in Holy Communion_
This years class consisted of six
girls I have known since they
• were babies. It put a small lump
in my throat to see thyed
in their white gowns a a tar.

Come on, Goderich. Let's get
on the bandwagon this time.
-Stile it is' a b% fob. No.one.said
it {wasn't, but let's at least be
able to say we tried.

I understand. that the youth.
-at First Baptist. Church t are
thinking about running a coffee
house again this sumiper.
I had a little chat last week
with Rev. Arthur Maybury from
that church. He told nie that the
coffee' house ran' last summer,
but mostly through the daytime.
Young people work in the
daytime,• he found and didn't
frequent the premises as much as
he had hoped they would,
This. year, the open hours will
be somewhat different. I
understand Friday and Saturday
evenings. will` be the prune target.
• However, this project is not yet
Interest in a Youth Centre is off the ground. I'm waiting now

That is usually the way of its themselves. Very informal
isn't it. Mothers , and fathers surroundings.
(kids too) get all hepped up over ,
an idea that sounds terrific, but * * *
when it enures right 'doWn`to the
.
--nitty-gritty Of the whole thing,
everybody backs off like a pack
of frightened rabbits: . •
If there is going to be

but like to read
--someone else;
Goderich, it must be -done by
you. This is no time to sit' back
and let somebody else do for
'you and your children wjiat you
should do yourself.
There are indications that the'
recreation board in Goderich is
consideringhe feasibility of a
"' youth " program of some sort.
The members, of . course, will
want some kind of assurance
th . • .
back them up in their effort's:•
Last week's editorial in the
Signal -Star invited • people to
indicate their willingness to help
with the project by leaving their
names on a list of persons who
could be contacted for assistance
in the event 'that help was
needed. ,
•- Right • now., there, are five
names (all women) on the list.

About' weddings
From time to time, I get calls
from. girls - who have a wedding
story for the` newspaper but
nowth a afford
the cost of having it printed in
the Signal—Star. So . they
telephone me- to ascertain the
cost..
It is FREE, _FREE, FREE, I
tell them. '
Usually 'the girls are
pleasantly surprised: . I guess.
that's because so few things in
life are free of charge: -
Beginning this week, we are

1 had a telephone call last
week from the Superintendent
at Buronview, who had • a
birthday to report. There are
two nursing homes in Goderich.
It- would be nice to hear from
them, too.
It Seems that-•
someone gets to be 80 years of
age or older, he or she deserves a
little special attention. What
better.way than to list. their
birthdays in the paper so . that
their friends and acquaintances
can send them a card .or plan a
visit in time for their birthday?
- And it's free!
o
Incidentally, .what kind of
socialnews do folks expect to
see in the local newspaper?
There are • weeks when
newspaper editors wonder
whether the people, are hoping
for a scandal sheet in their
hometown paper. We hear the
cpment all the time, "Nothing
in the paper -again this week."
Well, I suppose the_minor
.minor
happenings around, town ,,do
seem dull, when we can tune In
to the juicy tidbits we hear with
our coffee...like Mrs. So and So
way down to that nightspot in
Clinton with Mr., Somebody or
Other and the 'gal from the next_
block is expecting her seventh
child and can't keep her husband
sober ,enough to find work to
feed the six they already have.
Of course, there will always -
be those folks who don't like to

It is little ,wonder that our
citizens are growing up faster
and becoming more worldly at
an earlier age. But who would
want to go back to the good old
days when children hid behind
their mothers' aprons until they
had reached their 16th birthday?
