So r3' g I've been t in � Q g et this , ' , .
Recently a friend loaned me
his little tourist booklet about'
the ideal . Canadian Town of
Goderich. This had been" one in
Which the • Board of Trade had
made an honest endeairor to ,do
simple justice to this unique

remarkable' features.;' y and
combination of advantages

"Hurons Golden Gate".,,, , • ,
The natural beauty and

foresight and ingenuity -in"

Ppractical way, this magnificent
Lake port located at the mouth
of the historic . Maitland

mouthful—but I have boiled it
down considerable.
Whoever had the job of
writing up this booklet -printed'
,by the, Signal Presse -loved to
write flowery descriptions—in a
big way. He was worse than I
could ever- be—or I should say
`better' and he enjoyed doing it.
So we had something in.

layout is an exhibition of town
planning in remarkable
perfection".
According to some of our
worries today where we feel
there has been very little
planning for the future, in about
