Was the first sign and then the clincher came when Public Works and P.U.C. crews took to the Square installing Christmas lights. Ready or not it looks like Decem- Leroy You might ask,"Why do you want to be a Councillor for the town of Goderich?" There are many reasons why s one would decide to offer oneself to the electors. One reason would be that one • thinks that he knows what the people want and desire. I was born and raised here in Goderich and have lived most. of • 'my life here. I attended •Public and High School here in Goderich and I am presently taking extension courses at the University of Western Ontario. I know what it is like not to be able to find • .employment in Goderich• after graduation from High,School and have to go to the city to find work. Most of our young people L • w 0.

The P.U.C. installed wiring and lights and Christmas trees were erected as well. (staff photo) arrlson ,propose_s_c��nges want to live in Goderich and be employed in Goderich; but, at this time, that is impossible., Hopefully, in the not too, distant , future they will be able to find that employment here in Goderich. I •am presently employed -by Dominion Road Machinery Company Ltd. where I am an expeditor working in inventory control. Previous to this I was employed in banking 'where I rose to an accountant position. As an Executive Officer of the Goderich and District Labor Council, I hear about the labor conditions and prospects in and around Goderich: I also hear many of the things that are bothering many of the electors of Goderich. There are many things that I feel could be done. At the moment, I would say the most important item tocome' before Council in 1973 will be the "New Zoning By -Law." When it is passed, Council will know where it stands, the businessmen will know where they stand, the citizens will know where they stand, and the developers will know where they stand. Everyone will • know where they stand; therefore not as much time of Council will be taken up by trying to . decide what plan covers what. .

FACT — An active member of 'Council must be an informed member. A prime duty is to have. opinions and express them in open Council. Those who sit back and say little or nothing are not fulfilling the responsibilities of elected office. COMMENT - CARROLL IS TOO BUSY! FACT — Paul Carroll is more than community -minded— he is an active'participant in. com- munity affairs. The 1972 record clearly demonstrates that his community in- volvement has been "Council" oriented, At this time, he has no other .executive commitments and can concentrate all of his efforts in the Town's direction. COMMENT CARROLL IS.,TOO IN'V'OLVED IN PARTISAN POLITICS! FACT -et It is a fact that Paul Carroll has made an open declaration of his political support. , It is also a fact` that he has never mixed his partisan efforts with Municipal Govern- ment. Goderich has had four recent Mayors who were outspoken supporters of political parties. ' Consider PAUL CARROLL "Gomer jch Needs a Strong Mayor►► GODERICH S101w l -STAR. THURSDAY. '04 Bill Clifford wants in The Goderich Signal -Star, as a public service has allowed this space to fall candidates to ex- press their views and platform. This opportunity 1 appreciate. I am sure that the vobvious question in most voters' minds is "Why are you running for public office?'r Since moving to Goderich, I have followed with considerable interest the activities of the, town. council. There are just under .5,000 citizens who are eligible to serve, yet a disappointingly small number have let their name stand for public office. To me, this is a challenge which I cannot ignore. 1 have no aye to grind or issues to flog, but 1 ;do believe that the administration of this town MUST NOT get bogged down in personalities, 'The people of Goderich deserve to be more currently informed of the meetings of their council, Therefore it is my contention that town council should meet Monday evenings in order that the local press can publish the council news in the same week in which it occurs.

I also feel that the Odd Dump site could over ,the next few years be developed into an all year round park. In winter, there would be toboggan runs and possiblya small ski run. In summer there cbuld he pic- nicking, swimming, and possiblvi camping. Flowers and flowering trees could be planted along the two harbour hills and the hill overlooking theMaitland River (the north entrance to Goderich.) This . could be in bloom from spring, to fall and become a tourist attraction for we do claim to be "The Prettiest Town in Canada." We must always be mindful not to burden the people of Goderich and especially our citizens, who are on a fixed in- come, with high taxes. These are but a few ideas, that 1 would like to present to the 1973-74 Council. 1 would like to thank the Publisher and Editor of the "Signal -Star" for this oppor- tunity to express a few views in our paper during this campaign. ,In closing, I wish to extend, to the other candidates my hest wishes and the hest of luck, for two of us, must he defeated. All I can add if. elected, is that I will do my best. Local pair wed in Kitchener Rev. Finlay Stewart officiated at the wedding of Diane E. Gauley to William' B. McGee.
