Goderich Town Council Briefs
At the --Administrative Com-
mittee meeting held last Thur-
sday the Committee recommen-
ded that Council deduct the
business taxes for 1973 from
the Transient Trader's
Deposits.,, That recommen-
dation will- be handled at this
week's regular council session.
A report from the Building
Inspector was recommended af-
ter a point Councillor Elsa
Haydon raised concerning the
wording used by Roy
Breck ridge.

Ted Bisset
says .Christmas
must be safe
A Happy Christmas can
change in a few moments into a
family tragedy, warns Fire
Chief Ted Bissett, in homes
where fire safety precautions
are neglected. Such prf cal tions
should head the list of every
'sensible family's preparations
for Christmas, he says.
The Fire Chief urges the
public to exercise special care
in the getting up and
decoration of Christmas trees,
and draws attention to the
following important points:'
If plans call for a natural
tree it should be bought fresh
and green, and kept outdoors

Haydon pointed out that the release the funds to Eastbank
Council had passed Bylaw 20 and that the company would be
in April that stated that it had advised of the decision.;
to be a period of six months
and that it should not -be -left to
the discretion of one man.
Town Administrator Harold
Walls pointed Out that there
would be times when a six
months period would be out of
the question and that Mr.
Breckenridge inserted that con-
dition only for that purpose.
Councillor Haydon agreed
that there would be exceptions
but- the clause should only per-
tain to extreme situations. The
report was approved
* *
Courrc-il had received a
request - from Eastbank
Buildings Limited for their
$1,200 that is held in trust by
Town Solicitor Dan Murphy.
Councillor Frank Walkom
noted that although Che
previous agreement with East -
bank stated that they would be
responsible for certain services
in the subdivision, the Town
had installed a light standard
on request from the residents,
at the Town's expense, when
Eastbank had refused to install
one themselves.

being brought into the home for.• concerning the possibility of
decorating. Then, one or' two billing Eastbank for the light
inches should be cut diagonally standard but it was decided'
from the butt, and the tree -that it would ° not get them

Councillor Haydon again ex-
pressedo-.her concern over the
Cable TV Company installing
above ground cables. Coun-
cillor Dave Gower read the
agreement with Don McIntosh,
which originally stated that the
cables would be installed un-
derground, not w only for ap-
pearance sake but also for bet-
ter reception during inclement
weather.
u�u n
suggested that perhaps, these
additions were done to improve
their facilities in hopes of
drawing more members, thus
remedying their`" financial
problems.
"Obviously they are not
working," replied Councillor
• Haydon.Councillor tower then poin-
ted out that while they should
not be relieved 'of past taxes,
future business tax should be
reviewed as in his opinion,
"business tax assessed in that
spot is over assessed". They
pointed out that may be ,true
and that perhaps the other
clubs in the area . should be
looked at.
Mrs. Haydon pointed out
that, it was cheaper to install
the cables by attaching them to
P.U.C. and Bell poles and while
he may be getting the -job done
the above ground cables "look
very obvious and not vary good
at all.
Mayor Worsen agreed that
perhaps the issue should be
looked into•rther and that
Mr. Mclntc�h should be invited
to Council the beginning of
next year

The Maitland CountryClub
Limited has requested that
council allow them to write-off
past arrears including $1400 in
business tax from - 1971 , and ,
1972.
Councillor Haydon and
Mayor Worsell both agreedub
that 'while rhe Country Cl

. ficulties, members have, made -
such capital .expenditures as

approved lighting sets and only
non-flammable decorations
should be used. Declare the
tree a non-smoking area and ..
keep matches out of the hands
of children.
Do not allow discarded gift
wrappings to accumulate under
the tree. Dispose of them as
soon as the gifts are • opened.
Even a green tree will. burn if
ignited by burning pap
around , the base.
Set up .the tree away from
heat sources such as fireplaces,
TV sets or radiators. Do not
allow it to block access to doors
or,windows'in the event of,fire.
Switch. off tree lights at bed-
time or when leaving the house,
Fire Chief Bissett points out
that tests have proved that the
safest tree is a tree with its butt
set in water. However, if a tree
has dried out before it is set up,
it cannot regain its safe
moisture level. A dry tree can
be ignited by a single match, to
burn violently to a charred
state in a few seconds. s,
Even artificial trees can be
serious, fire hazards. Metallic
trees are conductors of elec'
tricity, and should not be
decorated with strings.of lights,
but illuminated with
floodlights. Some plastic trees,
made from styrene materials,•
are flammable, unlike . those
made from polyvinylchloride.
All trees should be removed,
from the home as soon as
possible after the Christmas
celebrations.
Chief Bissett also noted that
he would like to express a
Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year to the residents of
Goderich on behalf of himself
and the local volunteer fire
department and their families?

The recent Nutrition Canada
Survey showed that overweight
iR a problem for about half of
our population over 20 years of
age.
Losing weight is often a mat-
ter of simple arithmetic,
suggest food specialists at the
Ontario Food Council, Ministry
of Agriculture and Food. A
well-balanced diet with fewer
calories than you expend will
cause you to lose weight. Five -
hundred fewer calories per day
should reduce your weight by
one pound a week.
Your daily diet should
always include food from all
the basic food groups: milk and
milk pooducta; fruits and
vegetables; meat and alter-
nates; cereals, bread; and
pastas. Portion size is impor-
tant. It is --also wise to avoid
empty calorie foods such as
jam syrup, jelly, soft drinks;
alcoholic beverages, candy, and
rich deserts such as cake, as
they contribute nothing or
a lmost nothing to nutrition, ex-
cept calories.
