Li ion ins and WI ndents ON R This year the "At Home Dance" queen will be chosen out of seven pretty candidates. one of the greatest numbers of nominees ever. Among the can- didates is a set of twins Kaye and Faye Dustow daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Dustow of R.R. 6 Goderich. Although they are twins, their interests differ in leisuretime activities. Kaye is involved with the school drama club, curling, camera club and enjoys motorcycle riding out- side of school hours. Kaye is in her final year of high school and intends to, enter nursing next year. Sister Faye also participated in the school drama club. Aside from riding motorcycles, she is very fond of horseback riding. At home Faye enjoys. cooking. Her favourite class in school is • English Canadian Literature. Music is also enjoyed by Faye as she' plays guitar in her spare time. Faye is a five year student and would like to attend the University of Western Ontario next year. , Dianne Crawford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Crawford of R.R. Goderich, is the only girl who had received . . nomination before. Dianne was nominated last year for queen. She has been active in such school clubs as drama and art. She had played many school in- tramural sports over the past couple years. One of Dianne's favourite sports • outside of school is golfing. She was also known to be a great fan of the Goderich Sailors' hockey team this past season and is expected to at- tend many weekend games next year. Dianne is a year five student and would like to enter nursing next year, possibly at Western. Mary Van_ Rooy, a fourth year student is one of _only two four year girls nominated. She is the daughter of John Van Rooy of R.R. 3 Goderich. Mary has helped with the school new,spaper,.-.tl)ls:,..year .and is a sportsfan. .,_�.,,.._,.-.-._._w,.,_ u.......,,.,..,..,.. In the past she has been ac- tive in intramural sports with her favourite being basketball. She also enjoys horseback riding, sewing, cooking and dancing. Mary will return next year for her year five and then hopes to go into the nursing profession after that. Certainly one of the most ac- tive candidates around the school during the past while, is Anne MacEwan a five year student. Anne is. the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter MacEwan of R.R. 4 Goderich. She has been a cheerleader in the school and a very impor- tant member of the G.D.C.I. social committee. As a member of that commit- tee, Anne' has been very busy directing the decorations for the "formal". When not in school, she enjoys cycling. Anne has -f, strong .desire to . become an airline stewardess after completing school. The other four year student among the candidates for queen is Cathy Young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Young of R.R. 5 Goderich. Cathy has participated in school activities as a member pf the yearbook committee, the spirit committee and the cross-country team. She is very fond of almost all outdoor sports including cycling and horseback .,riding. Currently Cathy is studying highland dancing butshe often likes to sew when she has free moments at home. In the future she would like to do clerical. work or a large firm possibly in insurance. The seventh candidate is Barb Blake. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Blake ' of Dungannon. Barb is a five year student who has done some work with the drama club and is currently a member of the school spirit committee. She en- joys outdoor sports, especially cycling and hiking. Barb is also a bit domestically minded as she likes to con and sew at home. Her favourite class is English Canadian Literature. Barb would like to attend Ryerson Tech to study fashion design acid retailing next year. It is a coincidence that all of the candidates for queen for 1973 are from the rural areas of Goderich and not from the town itself. Voting for this year's ,queen is slated to take place to -day in the "home" rooms of the various classes. Each student has a vote of the same value to support the candidate of their choice. .'" Social Convener Randy Keller will count the ballots and only he knows who the winner is until the formal an- nouncement is made at 12 o'clock midnight at the dance. 6YEAR- 17 THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1973 SINGLE COPY 20c uncillor Heydon disassociates herself from project :a. h advice or y pensions, ,ted to co .ot..t a leer N, not lair iew.

"If the deputy=reeve has an objection he should make a motion to that effect," said Gower. A recorded vote showed only Mrs. Haydon and Profit in op- position to granting the building permit to Krohmer. The remainder of council in cluding Mayor Harry Worsell voted in favor of .the planning board recommendation. In an interview Monday af- ternoon, town building inspec- tor Roy Breckenridge said that Krohmer's plan is in complete agreement with the 1958 zoning bylaw and has been redrawn to come "as close es humanly possible" to complying with the new proposed Restricted Area Bylaw. Under that document, 12 bachelor units, three one- bedroon apartments and nine two-bedroom apartments as planned by Krohmer require 39,300 square feet of land. Krohmer has 26,700 square feet 'making the proposed lot 12,600 square feet short of the required land area. In other words, Breckenridge conceded, Krohmer has about two-thirds of the required land area for the unit he proposes. Sideyards under the new proposed Restricted Area Bylaw must be 35 feet. Kroh- mer's plan calla for sideyards at 33.9 feet or about one foot less than the requirements. A minimum of 400 square feet is required for bachelor units • Krohmer's have 410 square feet each; 600 square needed for two-bedroom .units - Krohmer's plans show three at 800 square feet each, three at 725 square feet each `and three at 715 square feet each. Parking space for 32 cars is provided for the three-storey dwelling and according to Breckenridge, open green area including parking measures 21,300 square feet.

Th,e Hayman proposal is now before the Goderich Area Plan- ning `Board and will likely reach the council table sometime in May. The Planning Board is also giving consideration to an ap- plication from Commercial It was Dixon who last year applied tor a permit to build an apartment building on Lakeside Drive in the south- west segment. of Goderich. However, that permit was not issued even though Dixon threatened court action. Goderich's population is becoming more and more af- fluent ... if the installation of swimming pools is any criteria at all. Building__, Inspector Roy Breckenridge said this week in an interview that swimming pools are being -installed regularly now and advises that their installation requires a building permit, just the same as any other home im- provement project. He also noted that while the local bylaw. calls for a four -foot fence around swimming pools, the National Building Code stipulates five foot enclosures and this is the regulation. en- couraged by Breckenridge. Filling swimming pools is presenting some problems. Last week the Signal -Star had a telephone call from a resident who was irked by a temporary road block at the .corner of Blake ,and South Streets while a swimming pool on South Street just north of Blake Street was being filled from a fire hydrant on tho,,southeast corner of the intersection. - The contractor had protected the hose which extended across the travelled portion of Blake Street with several wooden barricades. Traffic proceeding west on Blake Street, therefore, was forced to turn around at the nearest driveways and return to Camerson Street to make exit. The caller was particularly distressed that no "detour';, signs had been erected warning motorists of the blockade ahead. Another concern for the caller was'that homeowners are allowed to fill swimming pools from fire hydrants. Upon ° investigation, the Signal-gtar discovered this is not normal procedure. In fact, Don McMillan of the Public Utilities Commission advised that many, many swimming pool owners fill their switnming pools from an ordinary garden hose. This can take up to tv, u days to complete depending on the size of the pool. In the case of the recent South Street episode, it was reported that the swimming pool contractor had arranged with the PUC Water Depart- ment foreman Reg Bridle to fill Despite the fact that Hon John White, provincial treasurer, told Goderich Town Council in a letter he is "con- fident that all former mining municipalities will find the Stablization Plan quite advar; tageous", local members ha, expressed their extreme displeasure with the neu system - and intend to make Mr. White aware-,pf it. Council has agreed to send a letter to Mr. White of the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovern- mental Affairs concerning what it terms "unfair treatment" over the Ontario Property Tax Stabilization Plan with a cope going to Huron's Member of Provincial Parliament • Jack Riddell. Mr. White's recent budget speech revealed the town will receive $106,000 through this plan, In the letter from Mr , White dated April 16, a cheque for $22,892 arrived represen- ting the 1973 interim Mining Revenue Payment. This is the first instalment of the $106,000 promised to Goderich. Mr. White wrote: "You will be aware by now that in the budget which • I presented to the Legislature on Thursday, April 12, 1 announ- ced the Ontario Property Tax Stabilization Plan. I also an- ' pounced the elimination, of the Mining Revenue Payment program, effective January 1. 1973. "The new Plan includes a General Support 'Grant and a Resource Equalization Grant, the latter having a formula very similar to that 'used in the calculation of Mining Revenue Payments. The only sub- stanital difference is that the new grant contains a 50 per cent pro -rating factor which in effect replaces what has become (Continued on page 14) the swimming pool from the fire hydrant. McMillan claimed that in some -cases, similar arrangements can be made with the PUC but only if the work can be handled easily in connection with the PJC crew's regular duties. He stressed the fact that the PUC is not in the business of filling swimming pools but will co-operate on oc- casions when it is convenient to do so. In this case, Bridle super- vised turning on and turning off the water.
