()ne thing whiclt worries ale
about the home town papers is
that many of • them are passim

,Dear Signal Star: '•
We hear a lot about socialism
today.`
Not long ago I read ,,a book
from Clinton Secondary School
011 Economics. 'There was one
chapter on Socialism.
It told the story of the Pilgrim
Fathers and how they were given.
a plol'of ground for each family
'o.., grow food. The were
allowed " to keep some for
themselves and must turn the
rest oyer to the government. But
the colony did not grow enough ,
food for their, own needs over
winter.
So they changed their system.
The government collected a tax
and allowed them to keep the
resfor themselves. The response
was immediate. Whole families.
got up early^in the morning and
worked and planted .their fields
and grew enough for themselves
and some left over

the Pilgrim Fathers, it wouldn't

Some attention was given by
Goderich Town Council last
Thursday evening to the matter -
of bus service out of the town.
Councillor �.eg. Jewell
suggested that a letter be sent to
the commercial - bus company
operating in and out of Goderich
daily to determine -whether or
not -the bus is required to circle
the Square before leaving -town.

it was his understanding some
passengers were to be picked up
on the Square 'at the Bedford

••"I understand that some
mornings when the bus is late it
moves right out of town without'
going around the Square," said
Councillor Jewell.
