Goderich rich in history
The Huron County Branch of
the Architectural Conservanty
of Ontario saluted the town of
Goderich recently proclaiming
Monday, February 17, as
Heritage Day in Goderich.
It is the hope of the Goderich
branch of conservationists as
well as those across Canada
that the third, Monday in
February will soon ,be a
familiar national holiday to all
Canadians and that on this date
Canadians will all be enjoying
and reflecting on the great
architectural, natural,
cultural, and , historical'
heritage of our nation. -
Since 1967 there has been a

COLOUR IN
DIAMONDS,
Diamonds- have been found
. and cut in some ,tones and
intensities of each of the six
spectral hues; ,however, they
are usually either colourless
or range from very light to
strongly coloured yellow or
brown. Both the relative
rarity of the colourless stones
and the fact that they are
considered more attractive by
the majority of, people has
made them the most valuable
of the usual range of diamond

of terms suer as "blue -white",

to the point at which the colour
becomes deep enough to be an
asset. Attractive deep tones,of
these ,colours increase
desirability and value. Very
faint tints of other colours,
with the 'exception of blue,
violet and pink, tend to have
the 'same effect. Light tints of
these latter colours are
complemented' by white, or
yellow gold mountings,. in
addition to being rated highin,
colour preference, whereas
light tints of yellow,, orange,
-brown and gray do not meet
these requirements as 'well.
Nearly all coloured diamonds
tend to become less attractive
in dark tones, since the colour
almost eliminates the white
brilliancy expected of
diamond.
The term Fancy is applied
to any diamond that possesses
a distill:et' body colour other
than light yellow, light brown
or gray, because these are
most common and constitute
commercial grades of

growing awareness of.the need
to itsreserve the unique natures
of our towns, villages, marsh
and woodlands, :and all
manners of parks in which the
Canadian public can go to
refresh themselves in the quiet
of natural surroundings. At the
same time there has been a
growing need to preserve the
rich architectural heritage with
which we have been endowed.
The stress of modern Irving is
heightened and our sense of
continuity- and community is
threatened every time local
landmarks are replaced by
asphalt or concrete. It is
because of this that con-
servation groups have sprung
up all over the country to
protect and salvage our
national heritage to the best of
their ability. But as these
groups have all worked in-
dependently with little or no
funding or expertise, many,
many heritage buildings and
much needed beautiful scenic
landscapes have been lost.
The Federal., Government
recognized the problem and in
1973 Heritage Canada was
formed to unify the work,of
conservationists across he
country and to provide the
national assistance needed in
these pressing times. The
Huron County Branch of the
Architectural Conservancy is a
member organization of
Heritage Canada and will be -
represented on the , Regional
.Council which is being set up
apd will meet for the first tin*"
It is interesting to mite that in
.this year, the 125th birthday of
doderich there are 189
buildings in Goderich alone.
which are over 100 years old
and which have been
catalogued, With every
necessary detail noted, by the
'Federal Government, The
county town is rich in its ar-
chitectural heritage as well as
in its natural scenic beauty.
On Heritage Day it is fitting
for Canadians to salute the
many area citizens who have!
contributed in some way to the
aims of the A.C.O.pand Heritage
Canada. In this group we must
include: the Town of Goderich
and 'the 'Business Mens'
Association for the restoration
work being done on the square,
the many volunteernd
contributors to the Huron
Historic Jail project; the pari
of St. George's church- fo the
interior restoration wop Which
they undertook ; therlownsfolk
Goderich residents would be
amiss if they did not extend ,a
hearty congratulation to the
most progressive thinking
communities is Huron County
with regards to.the recognition
of the importance of heritage
preservation. nese are the
citizens of the township of Grey
and the villages of Brussels and
Zurich. The councils of these
communities after much public
discussion and input have
adopted official plans in which
certain buildings ' are
recognized to be of historic
value. Not only are they
protecte&from demolition but
also no significant external
alteration is allowed to these
buildings without permission of
council. Their lists include
many fine residents, as well as
public buildings and churches.
These communities have set an
example for us all.
This year; the 125th an-
niversary of Goderich residents
of Goderich are invited to
become actively involved in the
work of heritage preservation
for their community.
