The matter of the Pendulum Playera came before Goderici Town Council last week, butr members decided to refer the written request of Mrs. Beth Markson for use of some area of former Huron County Jail to the property committee of Huron County Council. The jail is still owned. by 'the county, and although Goderich Town Council has been in- volved in the possible acquisition of the property, it was agreed the letter was county business. The Pendulum Players, a drama group comprised of local young people, played to en- thusiastic audiences all sum-' mer last year 'in the „large exer- cise yard at the jail. The perfor- mances nix given outdoors and the hope was to repeat last season's successes. However, with construction at the Huron -Perth Regional Assessment Office beginning this summer adjacent to the jail, Huron County Council had decreed at its last meeting there would be no activities allowed at the jail building un- til constru€tion was completed. It was felt there was a safety hazard to consider. - The Pendulum Players, however, have contended their shows would be given in the evenings or on weekends when there would be no work going on at.,the assessment office. It was further pointed out at Town Council by the county representatives that the cour- tyard preferred by the Players would probably be in use to store equipment and materials for the construction project. It's strawberry time again. Calorie -counters may well ap- plaud the arrival in mid-June of thin mouth-watering, full - flavored fruit. One cup of fresh strawberries has about 55 calories and a lot of ehjoyment. Food specialists at the On- tario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food point .out that they are also high in Vitamin C content. The same cup of fresh strawberries will supply about 88 milligrams of Vitamin C, which is very close to about 3 days' recommended allowance. The Ladies' Legion Auxiliary hasti,received the permission of Goderich Town Council to hold an annual tag day September 1. Councillor Frank Walkom noted that since "children un- der 10 would not be allowed to sell tags", the request should be granted.

Administrator Harold --Walls . advised council it , would be ".beating a dead horse" to send a representative to- the semi- annual meeting of the Association of Mining Mun- icipalities of Ontario in the hopes Goderich could realize more money in grants from the government. "The mining grant is gone," said Walls. It was noted by Reeve Deb Shewfelt the Northern Mining Municipalities had received ex- tra grants in lieu of the mining grants which were lost. "One wonders why Goderich didn't get it„' said Shewfelt. "It would be a waste of money -to send anyone to the meeting,” observed Councillor Frank Walkom who agreed with Walls that the issue was lost. Walls added that in the case of some mining municipalities itr the north, the -whole -source of income had been the mining grant. He felt Goderich's situation didn't " compare in that senBe. - We Have the largest Selection of - PANELLING Available in the Area 1111111/111111%11111113111111111111111111Avnipauril- laau • `01111111011111M1111111141ll>l 111 BRAND NAMES - WELDWOOD & LUXAPLY PLUS MANY MORE When the minutes of the In- dustrial Commission were in- troduced at Town Council last Thursday evening, there was some question concerning Dominion Road Machinery Company's request for an ex- tension on the firm's option to buy land in the Industrial Park. DRMCO had asked for their option to be increased from five years to ten years. It was lear- ned there is every indication DRMCO will be moving its en- tire operation to the Industrial Park over a period of years and it would he extremely difficult to project the company's full needs in the five year option period. Councillor Frank Walkom suggested the option could probably be renewed at the end of five years for another five years if necessary. Deputy -reeve Stan Profit wondered at th© wisdom of tying up a parcel of land for such a long period. Reeve Deb Shewfelt, a mem- ber of the Industrial Com- mission, said there is plenty of land at the Industrial Park for development of new industry. "This is a small matter to be kicking around," charged the reeve. "If we can't band a little for our own industry, well " In ' other business at Town Council last Thursday evening, the minutes of The Goderich Area Planning Board were tabled until members had time to study them at their leisure. p.m. We Carry Various Qi`� .+� "Outdoor" items For the HOME, OWNER * PATIO FURNITURE * BARBECUES * GARDEN TOOLS "Everything" In Materleis For the HoA1e GODERICH ILDING CENTRE 524-8383 165 ANGLESEA AT CAMBRIA RD.
