Vincent' St., Goderich, has let
tan council know she wants
action taken on the installation
of a heavier water line on her
street. ,
' In a letter to town fathers she
pointed out that she realized St.

the town, and consequently had
been patient.
"Now a situation .has arisen
which might develop into an
emergency," Miss Howell wrote,
She explained that the water line
is very old and may give out at

,meeting, ' Thursday night,

objections from' - two members.
"t; Both reeve Paul Carroll and

suggested that allowing the

a precedence.
Councillor Ed Giesbrecht,
who sentthe letter to council on

Are you interested?
It is highly --unlikely that everyone is,>„but-there • '_
should certainly be' enough people .in' Goderich
and district ,interested in the fate of -the Maitland
Golf and Country Club' that the selling of this
asset to Goderich isn't necessary.
An initial objective, has 'been set - $30,000 to =_
be exact - and this amount Must be obtained in E
a short period of time. . •
Dan Murphy, Q.C,, 'the club's president, E
announced that- a citizens' committee of
interested people has been -.formed to conduct the,.- g.
campaign and he repeated his staternent. that the
taxpayers of the town of Goderich should not be
asked to purchase, and operate- -the Golca"nd Y
Curling Club,
•
And rightly so!
the 'club is advertised, prominently it) the town
industrial tourist brochures, and the town should.
help to subsidize the, club by way of finartc-iaf
assistance; but the bulk of the burden should be, E
car-r.ied-,4e members and other interested
citizens. _
The committee has been encouraged= by the
support already promised by individuals who have,
had _no previous connection with ° the club' bu't
who are. interested in preserving the facility as a E
legacy` for future generations. •Pledges -of upwards
of $1,000 have already been receivd. But snore •
--r' many more. ” are needed. - E
Debentures will be sold in denominations 'of E.
$100 and Mr. Murphy) stressed that. ,t -he
of Mobse 'Factory visited - debentures will ,be perfectly -secure' and in the
