Christmas tree lights
are being removed
Goderich town police, this
week have been kept hopping by
a rash of thefts. There hasn't
been a great deal of financial loss
involved but it seems that
stealing qhristmas lights. is the
..„
• latest fad.
The police report numerous
'
calls reporting stolen lights and
even the town is suffering heavy
losses.- Public) Utilities
Commission manager Dave
Royton contacted , the
Signal -Star on , Tuesday. and
reported that in about two days
no less than 80 lights, had, been
stolen from decorations at the
- S,quare..
"This means about $30.0Tof
the taxpayers' money," Mr.
Rolston pointed out, "but there
is even a greater danger. Small
children may put their fingers in
the empty sockets and that
could have serious results." •
One lady reports that at
Parade sapessful
about 6:00 p.m. she erected
,decorations and by 8:00 p.m.
the bulbs had been stolen. By
9:00 p.m, they had been all
stolen.
The OhristinAs. tree 4_
MacKay Hall was stripped of its
light bulbs recently as well.
CHRISTMASCARDS -
The „Christmas Card is not
alike the majority of other
Christmas custom,
re.cently new invention. One of
the firstcards was sent in 1846
an described as "an elaborate
affair, showing two allegorical
designs of' clothing the naked
and feeding the hungry, together
with a family group Of three
generations, quaffing wine."
Christmas Cards did not become
popular; until 1862, and these
cards were relatively simple in
destgn.
