Notes From The comcil Toble.
A letter from George Parsons
of the Goderich..Elevator and
Transit Company acknowledged
re',ceipt• of..,,.,,phe town's
correspondence regarding seeking
the federal gotiernment's support
to repair the .easterly wall at the
harbor.-
. Mr. Parsons said his company
would welcome any assistance
from council and the, matter,was
----turnedover to the harbor
Committee and Chairman Reeve
Paul Carroll' for study and
action. `
* * *
Council for the Town of
Goderich will ask the provincial
government to consider the
Goderich area in the event that
rehabilitation institutions are
constructed by Ontario for
alcholics, drug users, etc,
The motion was 'brought
before council by Reeve Paul
Carroll and Deputy -Reeve Dave
Gower. They said that Goderich
would have the "suitable
non -urban setting" for such
institutions and felt that this
district 'should be of prime
interest to government officials
if such a project was undertaken.
"Government"' feed the
18 -year olds liquor now,". stated
Councillor Reg. Jewel, "and
then they build a place to keep
them. Quite a set-up."
This is the patio at the home of Mr: and Mrs. James Marlette, St Patrick Street, through which the
car driven by Bonnie Lyrfn Mowery raced `last Saturday evening. Note the upset cement blocks and
the broken tree, the entrance and exit of the vehicle. (staff photo)

wonderment ,at the mishap:
Although a path of destruction
was left behincP, no one was hurt
and even the car; registered to
William --;and' Shirley Ryan,
Clinton, came _out of the scrape
surprisingly well.
,
Perhaps the most concerned
neighbor was Pat Patterson who
is the caretaker at Octogenarian
Park..Mr. Patterson reported this
week that the tree which. was
, uprooted in the little green area
was a black -berried elder
brought to Canada from the
"old country;'" '
"It is the only one of its kind
in Canada," lamented Mr.
oPatterson. `I've watered it and
watched it grow. I- don't know
now whether we'll be able ',to
savelt." ,
Members of the 'town's park
department., wer_ summoned to
Octogenarian park Monday to. -
replant some roots from the tree
in the hopeit can be saved.
In an . article' about trees in
'Goderich,1 Dr. W. Sherwood Fox
once wrote the following,:
"Last year in one ofmy
stories on Goderich trees in The
Signal -Star, .I spoke of a
specimen of European Elder
growing at -the southeastern
corner of the "Castle" grounds.
n* At the time I was quite unaware
that a rmuch finer and larger
example of the species existed,
elsewhere in Goderich. Had I
known ,,,of it I eould not have
avoided'` "mention o,l� it", so
notable is it because of its
exceptional size.
"Anyone who . knows
Goderich can easily find it. It
stands at the extremity : of. the
western apex of Octogenarian
?ark at the junction ,Of Arthur
and St. Patrick's streets. It has
two trunks, both of th n very
large, one, being seven ir. hes in
diameter at the,base. T • fact
alone excludes the tre 'from
being classified as one of our
two native Elders. .
"But a- glance at its flowers
immediately identifies it as a-
-Member of
.niember'of the Elder family. In
view of the British origin • of so
many of the earlier citizens of
Goderich, one cannot doubt that
it was briught by one of them
from ,the. Old Country many
years ago - perhaps a century -
and planted here as a reminder
-of the woodland beauties of the
British countryside.
"At any rate, this tree is," as
its immense size makes plain,
very old. It was a beautiful sight
tornado
in full flower this June and will
be, 1 expect, in September when
in full fruit.
"Whether the fruit is 'edible
like that of our Canadian
Black -Berried Elder I- do..., t.M
know; it would be interesting to
make the experiment .of trying."
'Accordirig,. to Mr., Patterson,
the neighbors- in ff e vicinity of
Octogenarian Park have -used the
fruit from the tree for eating
purposes`''every year.

Britain's roads, the Ontario

permanent number plates which
pow carry -three -letters before
the, serial number, but
combinations of ' letters which
might give embarrassment to
some car owners are not used. A
vehicle licencing official stated;
"The SEX, group of fetters will,
NOT be used -- for reasons that
I do not propose to spell Out."
Ontario has considered
adopting the system of issuing
permanent plates, which has
several advantages. In Britain the
