Speaking personaily
An act of men
tl U
,,,.,Duringk the storm of last week
people -.found a new feeling for
eaeh other. They chipped in to
help in all manner of ways, It
was the London blitz and World
Wars I tand,41.1all over agairtas far
a's c o m'eeassion and
understanding wv'ent,.. .
There) were acts of heroism';
people. risking their lives to bring'
nothing, more than comfort to
stranded men,' women and
Lldren.. 1losth, it was concern.
'tar t"he cIPI1`drerr.. , ,.
Ovethoesand children ildren were
stranded in area schools. In
many" cases, in the initial stages,
they' had little or no' food,- no
'bedding and little comfort, Birt
it,was a lark.
• The teachers were forgotten
•sormewhere •along the line jw.hen
the praises were handed out. We
have heard Of the unselfish acts'
of ' individuals and groups of
people other than 'teachers:
ambulance drivers who managed
ngy
to get through after ma`hours
fighting the storm: 'service
personnel `Who travelled in giant
snow ,vehicles to take aid to -
farms and other outlying areas: -
police and utilities personnel.
who spent many hours o'n duty
trying to .,stop people getting.
into the worst area's. finding
there when the \ had =t '(est 4),r
repairing broken _ ' hydro,'
telephone= and watt'"
But' \ the tt: a{:',�'r-, were.
forgo,t.en. TheN must have had a,
real job on' thh°ir .hands with the
cumbers of children involved.
Mose parents are glad to get their
own children out of the house
after a day indoors. How would
they feel With 60x) of thein
enclosed ,total}} for three' days'' '
The teachers deserve' a lot .of
credit. We hope it• is forthcoming
from the pro.pe.r area. '

But dcin't forget that these
ere carried out by •JIEN'.
The 'emphasis on men is to point
-out that :these were members of
the human race and not. of some
faceless. mass' known as
snowmobilers„, It is unfortunate
that. the response to the praise is
t.•reating such retorts as came

Remember When ?'?.?
60 YEARS AGO
How will the' agreement" for
reciprocity between Canada and
the United States• if it 'passes
Parliament and Congress, affect
Goderich? This is a question of a
good ' deal of interest at the
present time. As a border town
Goderjvh will undoubtedly feel
the affect of the increased trade
that is bound to follow, ,up,?n •
freer relations between the two
count eves"

The wiping out of the . United"
States duty on fish means more
money in: the" pockets of our
fishermen. Salt 'manufacturers
say the opening _oT the United
States ,market will be of .no,•
advantage to them, and on the
other hand they fear the.
abolition of the Canadian duty.
will work to -their disadvantage
in the Canadian. market. W. L.
Horton', manager of the
Goderich Elevator Co., informs
The Signal that he does not°
"expect reciprocity to" affect the
grain trade here to any great
extent. A very great .advantage
from the reciprocity agreement
will be the benefits to the
farming cqmmunity from the
opening of the United' States
market , to Canadian farm
- products. This will enhance the
value of almost everything raised
on the farms of Huron County,
and increased prosperity among,
the farmers will• be reflected by
-increased-- prosperity-_ . 'in the •
towns. On the whole, Goderich
