With Shirley J. Keller
A
Woman to Woman
• What do you think of our
Sally Sees column? I'm, really
quite enthused about, it as I
sincerely hope all of you will be
when you have taken time to
_think it over.
The column is designed to
put ALL the women's news in
one place in the. paper. 'After awl,
most events' planned by women
are especially FOR women. If
the event is of interest to men, it
ivu.sually the woman who drags
hinff to,4t.
So it seems to me that Sally
Sees will be a favorite spot'in the
Signal -Star m which to advertise
special events of interest to
women (and maybe ', their
husbands).
It may be the ideal location
to place your coming events."
I know many . of ,you out'
,there have been. somewhat
- dismayed by the regular' coming
Yevents column which doesn't
make any distinction • at all
between women's events and
others . upcoming in the
,, nu unity. . ' . hopp-ing —that. n• :wFiJi:,.be flooded with applications
officials in Ontario about the
services rendered by CAS in this
province. •
He called it ar "evaluation
of services". I only hope that the
outcome of this study will not
strip away the.last remaining bits
of personal concern, such as that
displayed by so many fine
organizations in Huron.
• *"
I still 'haven't -heard directly
from the Kinettes concerning
their babysitting course which is
scheduled to begin early in
October.
I suppose though, that most
interested parties have noted
from Last week's newspaper that
registration Is September 30 in
St. Mary's School from 7:15 to
8 p.m. The course. will be eight
weeks , long and boys and girls
must be at least 11 years of age to
register.'
Registration fee „is 85 cents, a
very reasonable cost indeed for
such a fine 'course of instruction.
I'm hoping that the Kinettes
'Sally Sees is the answer — a
feminine looking comer in the
women'ssection of the
newspaper for the purpose •of
advertising events of special
interest to' women. •
Why don't you try' it the very
next time you have something to
advertise?
* *.*
�I. was impressed by the
information last week about the
Goderich teenagers who went to
• Orillia to' spend two days
escorting, retarded youngsters
-around a fall fair set up at the
Ontario Hospital there.
This outing was a direct result
of the- plea last year by members
of the local Association for the
i*---1Vfentally Retarded.inGoderich,
for young people to work with
retarded children - in this
community. '
I had a brief chat. with Mrs.
Betty Reid the other day and
she' told me that while there
have been several young people
ready and willing to assist in
r -
whatever ways they can to work
with the retarded here, there"
haven't been `" a great many
opportunities.
This Orillia trip, I understand,
was one of the very rare chances
local teens have had to show just
what they - can do for -children
not. quite as blessed as they . are.
And„ they came through with
flying colors.
My ' personal commendation
goes out to the five kids who
went to Orillia and I'M sure I
speak for the community when I
say that it is effort like this
which makes good citizens and
responsible adults.
* * *
I've been waiting and waiting
for Gil Rum.menie's column in
the mail but I'm afraid I might,
as well quit looking. Although I
haven't spoken to Gil in the last
few weeks, • it -seems apparent
that he .is not /going to continue
to write A Stitch In Time.
• This 'might be a good time to
throw out a line for any
suggestions you may have for
features which you. would like to
see on the women's pages of the
Goderich Signal -Star. I know
some of you have very definite
, ideas about what you would like
to read.
Let me know about them so I
can see what can be done about
including them in future weeks.

It was such a pleasure to meet
and greet Bruce R Heath, the
new• local director of the Huron
County Children's, Aid Society.
Bruce is a congenial type person
who will undoubtedly make his
mark on this community before
he leaves it. u
Bruce was telling me how
" upea5er'i9he was To noe�ttiat`tocai"
service and social clubs have so
much interest in the GAS."
"It seems to be a natural
response," he remarked.
• I'm sure he's right. I noted
last week that the Beta. Theta
Chapter of the .Beta Sigma Phi
here in Goderich is again
supporting the CASas one ' of
their service projects;,
`' Bruce agreed'„, that it was
concern , ueh as this that makes
the Huron County. CAS such -°a
.tunique organization. Ile dimes
here directly from Toronto
wbete there isn't. such 'personal
'content for the, underprivilged
and 'n f treated children "ire the
community.
,r....14.Winterestedrtoo, to learn
from 1ruee that many questions
. ;ate toeing' b asked In 'government
chtles as well as' among„CAS
and that° their efforts --will '-be
realized as worthwhile in the
community. .

I've been warned by my
superiers here at the Signal -Star
(and at other newspapers where
I have been employed) that it is
_ not necessary to apologize for
errors which appear in the
newspaper from time to time.
.- I._ know _this_ istrue. _Still I feel
there are times when an
explanation is just good business
The picture in last week's
women's sgaion of the Ladies
Atudliary presentation of $1,000
to the Goderich Memorial Arena
Fund was not one of our better
_ efforts. I think the picture could
be termed, "washed-out”.
that these , things do happen
occasionally. The difficulty
arises in the technical end of
things here. It seems there are
times -whenthings go badly no
matter how much you want
everything to go well.
I was " particularly
disappointed in the appearance
ofthis•, picture because it told
the story of 1 • rnighty fine
achievement on the part of the
Ladies Auxiliary.
I think Councillor Paul
Carroll had it about right when
he made a statement for the
press:
"The Ladies .Auxiliary
deserves credit because it was
the first service club to reco '
the need for some het the
arena," said . Counci Carroll.
"It speaks highly of the
members who recognize the
needs of young people in town."
* *'*
I'm pleased as punch with the
number of + meeting reports
which have been forwarded '-to-
me the last couple of weeks. It
has done my heart good to be
flooded with local news from
the various women's groups in
itrS
town. What's more, I think most
of you enjoy ° reading these
articles.
' Just one word of caution, if I
may be -permitted the luxury.
Please try to have your copy
into my desk by the MONDAY
following your meeting. If the „
copy arrives later..,than that; I.
cannot guarantee that it will
appear in the women's section of
this newspaper before it is "`old
stuff".
That Monday deadline,
incidentally, goes for ALL copy
for the women's section. I know
• it seems early - when the
newspaper doesn_'..t hit the street
until Thursday but we're on a
rather rigid schedule around this
'office and it is necessary that the.
deadline be Monday.'
By. the way, I hope you are
pleased with our new format for
the front page of the second
section (the women's segment).
I'm attempting nowto make it•a
page of mews items of interest to
women — certainly some special
.features—tout. whenevez -possible.
-to. :have it- ontain -as—much
LOCAL news as possible.
. Your co,operation is
'absolutely essential if this
' section is to grow and ' -flourish
into something every' woman in
Goderich and, area will want to ,
read.
* * *
What about the social' column
ladies? Surely you have items of
... _interest to_the. xeaders_which_you_
could share, 'The only way this
newspaper can contain the kind
of items you like to read is by
everyone making some kind of a
contribution news -wise.
We like to hear about parties
(all kinds); wedding
anniversaries; holiday trips; -
vrsitors in _ town; _ students
,enrolled in universities; .family
get-togethers; and in fact, any of
the social events which are
happening' • in Goderich - all the
time.
Just call me at 524-8331. I'm
more than pleased to .take your
items down . and to see -that they
are printed in the social column
of the women's section.
*, * *.
Next 'month I`will have, been
working at the Signal -Star for
one year. I've been trying to
decide whether I've made any
impact at all on the newspaper
' here I suppose everyone will
have his or her own opinion
about things like that.
I do know that I have made
some wonde ul friends since
coming to Goderich. And I'm
not ready to agree with those
people who complain that
Goderich people are cold and
Unfriendly. It just isn't so if you
make some kind of an effort to
• be friendly to them.
So newcomers, take heart. Go
out with a smile and a cheery
,greeting and you will find,
Goderich folk as warm and
friendly as they are anywhere
else.
