Youmatqff of Bayfield conducted the funeral service August 6 for the late Mrs. Violet Audrey Laws who died August 4 at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital following a brief illness. Mrs. Laws had been a resident of 163 East Street in Goderich. Born April 14, 1905 at Car- man, Manitoba, Mrs. Laws came to Goderich from Manitoba in 1929. In 1936 she moved to Windsor where she lived until returning to Goderich about two years ago. The daughter of George Bell and the former Violet McAr- thur, she married Ernest Karl Laws on September 16, -1939. Mrs. Laws is survived by her husband and two sons, Arthur and Robert, both of London. There are also five grand- children and four great grand- children. Pallbearers were William Moore, Ernie -Allen, Danny Riehl and Jack Mabon. Inter- ment was , in Maitland Cemetery. G.C. RIVETT Rev. G. Youmatoff of Bayfield conducted The funeral service August 4 for the late George Cameron Rivett who died at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital on „August 2 following an. illness of about two weeks. Mr. Rivett was 83 „years of age. • Born December 13,, 1889'in Ashfield Township Mr. Rivett lived there .most of his life but moved to Goderich for about three years following his retirement and then moved to Dungannon. He was a farmer and carpen- ter and served .overseas during the first World War with the TNESEFAHEIE1L oodcarving (Continued from page 1A) World War in Europe. Upon his return, he brought an Qld - wooden cane. Later on he made an exact replica of it. Since that first creation, Dick has made well over 200 pieces varying from simple "lazy spsans” which hold all sorts of odds and ends, . to intricately detailed models of famous buildings and landmarks. Most of his models he has given away as gifts or sold. According to Dick, he became,. really involved in woodcarving because he was always theam- bitious type and just had to keep busy even in his spare moments. Among his many models are such items as log cabins, stools, lamps, a Roman Catholic monument which_. stood in Dublin, a replica of the Tower Bank in old London, England, and a model of the Halifax Town Clock which was' erected in 1813. These and many other items were made in his well equipped workshop in his basement. The workshop hat such facilities as a circular saw, band saw,' jig sw, electric belt sander, wood lathe and a power drill. Countless are the number of hand tools such as wood chisels which hang on the wall ready for. _use. All of. Dick's creations are made out of pine or walnut. In days gone by, .he, used to buy old furniture--6rgans or tables to make his models out of but ,now it is too expensive because of used furniture or an tique dealers. Since' he retired from the electrical business, Rick has, spent most of his time working on his models and other wood products. Most of his carpentry training came from his days of childhood when he used to work ori his -father's -farm:.- - _ A major project for the near future which is now in the plan- ning stage is an accurate replica of the Huron County Jail in Goderich. Before he can get started on it thereis a great deal of study involved to .create authenticity. The model of the Halifax Town Clock he built is actually„, his second. He is such a stickler' for accuracy that when he discovered the base of the pillarsiw..the clock were square instead of round, he made the second model. Most of his models are done from pictures of the subjects. Although a great deal of time and skill goes into each and every model, one gets the feeling from Dick that a major key to his success has to be the T.L.C. (tender loving care) he puts into his creations. Yeti th.,gh i .v„IA through the vanity ul lht +h t h,.. .l ,leuth 1 %hull Ivor nu roil �.,r It ,., „rt wrth me —lint 1'wlrn 161 Battalion.

GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, AUGU$T- 9, °19707-PAOIB . 74 Reflections from Elaine w Beach lover The following is an item which was written by Elaine Townshend, R.R.. 2 Bayfield.... Mrs. Townshend ' is presently studying ut Conestoga College, Clinton Centre. BY ELAINE TOWNSHEND My entire life has been spent' less than three miles from Lake Huron. Yet my visits to the beach average only two or three per summer. Like many local residents;,take for granted the proximity of)ter and casually glance at `itt;'sparkling surface N- as we drive along Highway 21. This year's first trip to the beach for me occurred about three weeks ago. Because my swimming ability compares to., that of,a stone, I was content to wade in ankle deep water wat- ching my daring companions splash and dive. Presently I edged forward until the calf of my leg was submerged, but a large wave unceremoniously chased me back. -Then I retreated to the safety of a blanket and lolled on what remains of the sandy shore. • Those stories I've been hearing about high water levels', diminishing beaches, and• endangered cottages were not exaggerations. •The beach seems to be only a quarter of its former width. In fact, if I moved ,slightly tcr--the left, I would be perched practically on' someone's doorstep. AIthough 'I've never experienced cottage - living and -to be quite honest - never wanted to, I sympathize with those townspeople -who face losing .their summer dwellings. My friends informed me the water' is shallow for a short distance but deepens suddenly. That explains the 'dis'ap- pearance of huge rocks which loomed offshore for years and provided . resting places for swimmers. It also intensifies SUNDAY SERVICE'S FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Baptist Cony-entton of Ontario and Quebec) MONTREAL STREET near.The Square. REV W N.

On the optimistic side, however, I, noted a few cheerful points. Along the beach, for example, I counted only three dead fish. This is a remarkable reduction from last summer when my sister and I, spent an afternoon dodging fish car- casses and broken glass among the pebbles, while my brother- in-law, nephew, and niece at- tempted to catch live fish from a nearby pier. Incidentally, clone of us succeeded! Another improvement is the clearness of the water. A year ago the lake was murky and sluggish but "'now it is sur- prisingly clean. In addition, by July 1 the water temperature was considerably warmer, I'm told, than it has been for many years. One -thing -that _ hasn't changed, unfortunately, is the long, steep climb from the beach to the hilltop, where the car is parke& Besides my inability to swim, this is a major reason for my limited number of visits. ' To me, Lake Huron looks ap pealing even` from a distant hilltop. Although I may have 'con- veyed the .opposite impression, I do appreciate living close to the lake. Furthermore,: I sin- cerely -hope in-cerely-hope you energetic water "buffs enjoy the remainder of the summer. SUNDAY, AUG. 12 Rev.
