The usual closing date of December 15 for the lower seaway has been extended to December 17 and depending on weather could be subject to another extension in an effort to clear the Great Lakes of foreign ships and, maintain the flow of fuel, oil from Sarnia to Quebec ports. Final closing of the Sault Ste. Marie locks is not set to a given time but depends,) chiefly on weather and ship traffic. In general, indications are for a longer shipping season than usual as the water temperature now'stands-at 36 degrees as op- posed to 33 degrees at this time last year. The final ship of the year to dock at the (Goderich Elevator and Transit facilities is not ex- pected until Christmas clay when the Thornhill is to arrive with a load of grain for winter storage aboard the vessel. That ship will be in Goderich harbor over the weekend with . its last cargo for unloading and then return to Lakehead elevators to take on its winter storage cargo. The Westdale is expected to put in to the water- front on December 19 also bearing a cargo of grain to' be stored aboard ship over the winter. For the moment it seems those will be the only ships making up Goderich's winter fleet for 1973-74. T, ;ey will join five barges, which are used for extra grain storage year round in the -harbor. Goderich Elevator and Tran- sit President George Parsons admits the size of this year's winter fleet may be the result of problems last March when high' winds whipped in from Lake Huron tearing ships of the win- ter fleet loose from their moorings and causing con- siderable ddmage when they slammed into each other against the southeast wall of the harbor. Last year the winter fleet consisted of 12 boats, six boats, six 'ships and six barges. Both the elevators and the storage barges are full, however, and combined with grain stored aboard the winter fleet the Goderich elevators Will have 6,600,000 bushels on hand for the 'winter. This is about 1,200,000 bushels less than last year due to the reduced number of ships using Goderich as winter port. The reduction in grain and ships will affect the em- ployment picture at the elevators to some extent at least this winter. Mr. Parsons explains that his can -many hire CSA approved hockey helmets The Consumers' Association of Canada announced last week that CCM have modified their Pro -Standard Hockey Helmets to conform to CSA standards. The new helmets, while bearing the same model num- ber as those rated by CAC as being unacceptable have two identifying' features. First, they are CSA 'certified and bear the CSA seal. Second, a pad bearingthe name CCM is located on each side of the helmet above the ear. The 300 Cooper Helmet is also approved. by the CSA.

The lack of ships will also af- fect revenue to' the elevator company due to less through- put of grain, he added. It is not impossible that another ship or two could be added to the4Winter fleet as yet due to bad weather during final voyages but if such were the case "it would be a windfall" 'Mr. Parsons explained.

Mine Manager Bill Coughlan adds that there could be an ad- ditional boat p#st that date but five would be most boats possible for the harbor 'yet this year. Mr. Coughlan explained that by the close of the 1973 ship- ping season the Goderich mine will have shipped 950,000 tons of salt by water and a Iota) of 1,500,000 tons including rail and truck shipments. if you're through with school, come and get involved with the world.
