It was nice to know 1 was missed and thanks for calling. Busin2ss at the new plant is getting Into high gear - altho` there are still many obstacles about that you have to step over or go around and there is still the music of the drills of sanders - or SOMETHING! Everything is light, airy and roomy - so much room that it has thrown everyone off stride. Someone said he needs to go back to the 'basement' to think. So it is.E hoped no one gets "left out" this `week as the business of putting a newspaper topther carries on. Last week two art exhibits made for a' fek pleasant hours, but 1 wondf it was good or bad to have them both the same week? 1 have tried, the Signal has tried - but only a few co-operate in checking in their dates of projects. or .calling to see if another group has,,, already chosen the 'date they are con- sidering. 1 know ,that diiubling up sometimes doesn't hurt too much but such a big date as the Rotary Ball and the Kinsmen Stag Party falling on the same nite, made it. very awkward and a number of Kin wives were not very happy about it. This is the reason we want, to list your date. - Just because you have always had your bazaar or dinner at a certain time each year - for YEARS - doesn't mean that you '-don't need to bother calling it in. When the organizations are planting their dates their secretary should,,,rheck with our desk first or they should check the following morning so_ they have time to make a change if it is necessary. Right at this moment, there - is only a car& party at Carlow Hall, 8:3t) listed for Dec. 5: Now we all know' there are lots of parties planned for December - AND November - but they haven't been listed. No wonder people have *fined ME at home to check out a date - my ',calendar is really scribbled up with_a lot if good information - but 1 too depend on someone -calling it in. Well," enough of THAT. Sometimes 1 think it is hopeless and it just serves them right for not checking, so on and on it goes. I -fere is a nice idea for Happy Happenings' A very nice teacher, Mrs. Stewart, at' the Holmesville School is having her choir singing Christmas Carols in The Square this. Festive Season. Sixty childrens voices will be beautiful and we will let you know the date soon. How about some of our own groups singing in The Square - Or some community singing - somewhtere? Small groups going around The Square and into some of the larger stores would be just GREAT. Don't you think? After my bragging up the Gild and new business,, places on Hamilton Street recently, 1 hear of another new one on that street. Paul Johnston and Ron Shaw have opened a small "Photo Studio and Gallery" - calling it the shutter stop or "F STOP", just opposite( McGee Motors. 'NT If you are in need of dark room and -or studio facilities, the boys will rent you these. So now you can become more„ involved with this fascinating 0/1/4!/,////WANI/IIIIIAW/Wii 1 Instant Friendship The warm greeting of your Welcome Wagon hostess with "The Most Famous Basket in the World" will introduce you to our community and start you on the way toward new and lasting friendships. If you are new in town, call Phone 01/7/(40,n; 5Y4-6046 ktimiummaimmumol hobby: 'Also these young men have the knowledge of all kinds and types of equipment and can be of great assistance to you. The shop" is well equipped and they. can get anything you need - in a hurry. It is nice to have Paul back home! Paul started his training with a Photo Engraving Com- pany in London and has worked in Commercial Photography there for the last three years. He has done a great many vi.edding and studio photographs and his work is very well known in this South- western Ontario region. He has made a great many beautiful pictures of this area too, which you should find interesting. With Ron Shaw also in the business, here again` is a fine, conscientious artist making, a name for,. himself. Ron is a graduate of Algonquin College of Ottawa and his years in commercial photography are beginning to -.really add up. He does a great deal of television filming and special photography on land; on the sea and in the air for the news media and is quite well known in this field. So, we have two fine young men who® have a lot togive to their art - and we are surely happy they have decided to try it in Goderich. • Do drop in - :38 Hamilton is the number. They hope you can take time for a, chat., see their work and what they have to Of- fer. 1 see Gerrards are now in their new -shop fie? or is it -shop- - whatever, they have a lovely .store and 1' hope they enjoy it. - How are you doing with your float for the Santa Parade on Dec. i? 1 hope the Toronto Parade gave people some new ideas and •they-- get hustling with them. The prizes are 'good and whether you get a prize or not think,of the fun you had getting ready for it. Since the merchants have especially asked for Santa's Court the same day as the Parade, we are going -to try it this year.,. Finding an indoor location has been very difficult and we have had to set the Santa Court AHEAD of the Parade instead of after - but I doubt if that is going to make much difference, to the children. We have the Park.Theatre - GREAT! for Santa to talk to the kids 'and give them a little gift of sweets and the time is 9 a.m. to 12 noon - and not beyond that. - - The Parade gets under way just after 1 p.m. make sure you are in line with your float by that time and AWAY WE GO!• The route is staked out for a bigger and better parade and there is lots of room for rsore individuals as walking" clowns` etc. So here.'is your chance to make the children - KIDS of all, ages —happy and don't ,forott that some of the. last minute floats have been the best.

The new phone book features a logo observing the 100th an- niversary and a picture of the Bell Homestead in Brantford, Ontario. The lingo. to be used by most of the major Canadian telephone companies as well as Bell Canada to commemorate the. invention, is a blue relepn*►ne un a white 'background centering the com- memorative dates, 1874-1974. It is located in the right hand cor- ner of the front cover. "The photograph on the back cover of t he•book," J. M. (Jim) Scott, local Bell manager, said, "is a picture of the Bell Homestead in Brantford. It was there on July 26, 1874, that Bell first discussed with his father how he proposed to build a telephone and drew -the first diagrams for . his invention." "But the telephone' industry has• come a Ing way since 1874," Mr. Scott added, "and t he front cover photograph symbolizes those advan- cements. It is a picture of a computer control panel, representing the modern technology used in presenting the many modern services of- fered. by Canadian telephone companies.

Also -Please Note DOUGLAS McNEIL REEVE WILMER HARDY CLERK Ad( CAN'TTAi IT FOR GflLPrEDANYIORE Recent events in the Middle East have underlined just how essential a dependable.'supply of energy is to the way we live. Present indications are that supplies of importeg crude oil in Eastern Canada are barely sufficient to meet demand. If we can't maintain imports, real shortages of gasoline and heating oil could occur here. in Ontario. But uncertain import supply isn't our only concern. - Canada's own oil and gas supplies are being depleted. and cannot be renewed. To_make sure we have enough energy for the future, and to give us time to develop alternative energy sources, we must make the best use of the sources we have now. Nobody -has the right to waste fuel, or. any other form of, energy.The time has come to take a good, hard look at the way we use energy, and to use it wisely. Good energy habits learned now, especially by our children, will bring us comfortably through the winter, and pay off in years to come. Let's get to work.
