When he died in Victoria, Dec. 20;' 1928, obituary articles usual!). began: "He was born in Goderich," According to a relative, Walter's mother, the former Cynthia Jane Ballard, was "an extraordinary woman, of ' fine sensibility and charm, who shrank from sending her son to the public schools of the villages in which they lived...She read to him a great deal, and •gave him his love of literature.'' A member of the family stats that Walter was "sixth andoungest son'.' of Robert K. Addison Nichol; which would indicate that at least some older brothers attended ward school here. The father evidently felt that Goderich, though a county town, had too many lawyers at 19. He removed to .Hamilton, leaving the' field here to Iraa Lewis, M. C. Carrieron, B. L. Doyle, S. Malcolmson, William T. Hays, John Davison and a dozen others whose names are less familiar. In Hamilton, at the age of 15, Walter Cameron Nichol started a little paper in the interests of cyclists, then joined the staff of 'the Hamilton Spectator. Later he worked on the Toronto News, Toronto Saturday Night, and at 21 became editor of the Hamilton -Herald. Before going' to the Coast, he married Quita Josephine March Moore, daughter of Dr. Charles G. Moore, of London, Ont. On the train as he travelled to Kaslo, B.C., there was a young and enthusiastic clergyman,. A. M. Sanford, who in later years recalled: "On the Sunday we spent on the train .I preached four times, going from car to car, and each time Walter Nichol insisted on taking up the collection in his hat." In Victoria, Nichol and Senator Bostock published the Weekly Province until it was moved to Vancouver„ where Nichol made it one of the most important and influential newspapers in Canada. In. 1920, Nichol was appoin- ted lieutenant -governor of British Columbia. He ,had classified his politics as "In- dependent Liberal," but the ap- pointment was made by the Meighen government. He died Dec. 19, 1928, sur- vived by a son, John Moore Nichol, a daughter, Mrs. Rollo Mainguy, wife of a naval of- ficer, and a sister, Helen Ward Nichol, born at Vienna, Ont. Miss itichol died in 1939. .,John--11400re -Nichol, who married Sally Lang, was the father of John Lang Nichol, now senator. He married Elizabeth Fellowes, and they have three daughters.' John L. Nichol served in the navy in 1945, and is connected with many organizations. One of these is Pearson College of the Pacific, now under construc- tion.; . and which is to be a memorial for the senator's old friend, the • former Prime Minister. Town Council Briefs The "Town Council ap*)roved .a...bylaw last week which will regulate the erection, alteration or wrecking of buildings in Goderich as well as moving buildings from one spot in town to another, or from outside the town to inside the town. The bylaw is not new although it.has,peen updated to include a new,fee structure as well as to put a time limit on the demolition of buildings. This latter clause carne up for discussion Thursday evening when Councillor Elsa Hayden suggested the new bylaw might not go far enough. Mrs. Haydon said she was anxious to see that demolition of the Harborlite, for instance, did not drag on and on as the demolition Of the former'Sunset Hotel did. "Let's not get too tough," cautioned Reeve Deb Shewfelt. "The end result will be an asset to the town." Stumps - and the fact that when they are removed the cost is shared by the homeowner and the town - will likely come up for discussion at this evening's committee meeting (April 12). There is some indication that a move is• afoot to abolish the homeowner's share of the stump removal. "We're trying to provide a service and keep costs down," said Reeve Deb `Shewfelt loudly. "It is just another way to get a few bucks in and keep those taxes down. Some people thinkyou get everything for nothing."

Firemen Ralph Kingswell and Jack Meriam loaded the boys .on t big truck and they -were driven around .the square, followed by a long line of horn -honking cars.

Novice "A" c•ham- pionship and the Grand Cham- pionship, the Legion -sponsored team advanced to the.O.M.H.A. semi-finals.
