Today - at time of writing - is
the seventeenth, of /treland and .
a beautiful day for all others as
well as the Irish.
A small sticker on one of thy
letters is worth repeating any
time of the year:
As you travel through life
may your obstacles be few,
with 'the wind ever:' at your
back; rp.uy the path rise to meet
you,
May the sunshine warm you
and the rain fall on your land;
and may the good Lord always
hold you in His Hand..
Shamrock, shamrock.
There, isn't that nice even a
few days late?
Mark your calendar and give
it a thought with this item: The
local Salvation Army is at-
_ . tending a Home League Rally
in Sarnia on. April 8. They are
taking a bus down at 9:30 a.m.
and returning at 9:30 p.m.
There will be room for others
wishing to go to Sarnia or
vicinity for the day and the cost
is less than if you took your car
down. Phone right away 524-
° 9341 or °524-6607 to get your
name in.
Did you know there is a
pretty active group of
• youngsters - Junior Gardeners?
Girls and boys both in-
terested in Horticulture are
giving good attendance to very
interesting classes, They are
going to make - or perhaps now •
�..
have made Bluebird boxes to,
beset out on different trails -to
encourage the lovely little
bluebirds to come I1ack to our
area.
The class also goes on hikes,
learns about the trees etc. as
they travel and all in all have
fun and learn a lot about the
growing things around us.
The best part of the whole
thing is that these youngsters
learnthe value and care of our,,
environment.
Call -Bill,..W isser about_ the
bluebirds and the- trails 524
6280. This is great for the kids.
This summer will see many:
interesting things happening in
Goderich - I hope: For Cen-
litennial '75 "there are a great
many things being planned
and each and every one of you
should jump in and help just as
you.did in that great Centennial
year, 1967. Do you recall all the
things that happened that
year?. Things you were
volved in? tl
A year or more was spent
talking about the celebrations -
but I still think a lot of the
things that happened were done
in .a short time in THAT year.
So, here we are again, get your
thinking.' cap on and we, can
have a fine Centennial
celebrating Goderich being a
town for 125 years.
There is lots of room forideas
in and around our old Jail. The
Committee would appreciate
any. ideas on the use of .the
courtyard - actually there are
two that could be used, One for
young - old, theatre arid such -
the other. could have swings etc
for children's play yard. Think!
The Committee is trying to
refurnish some of the rooms of
the house with furniture of the
period before the First World
War: Things around 19,00 are
'hard to find and will have to
come from people who would
wish others to enjoy these old
things but want to know that
these pieces will have good
'care and will not be used or
abused.
It will be like putting them in
the museum - see but don't
touch.
That era, a lot of oak fur-
ni.ghings were used. Oak dining
room things, chiffoniers, wash
stands and the old iron or brass
beds, living room - or parlor
table`s, a davenport or 'couch, a
Morris chair: -
The 'parlour suites' at that
time were of birch with
mahogany finish. Any display
cabinets?, And "does anyone
have any of the nice old cotton
lace curtains tucked away
somewhere.:These were used in
those days, also the velour
drapes: ,
I'm sure there must be some
,of these things laying around
that could be re -vitalized - let
the Committee decide whether
they can bring it back to life or
not. • '
Call Dorothy Wallace if you
have anything they might use
524-9372. It will receive the best
of care and everyone can enjoy
it. -
Speaking of reviving the bits
of history for our great gran-
dchildren the old Park House is
up for discussion.There will be
a meeting next Monday night at
the assessment office, Napier
St. at 8 o'clock: This building is
about the oldest in Goderich
having been built about 1838 for
Tom 'Mercer Jones who was
head of the Canada Company in
those years-.
In 1945 a fire destroyed the
steep roof and upper story but
the rest of the place can be
restored to its original shape.
The walls are real, thick with
those lovely ,wide window sills
and" shufi;'ers°"'and"'""fund`s-are-
probably 'available thru' the
Ontario Government Heritage
Act to take care of the•
restoration.
Anyway - how, about at-
tending
t tending the meeting to make
sure another fine old- building
does not go under the axe. What
else do we have to leave the
'ew• generations but bits of the
past?
They finally, admit we are
,000 - about time we made it -
or did we sail right by.
Love,
Martha

From the
` Residents of Colborne
Township received their first
introduction into a township
secondary plan at the first of a
series. of -planning workshops
scheduled fol the area.
The workshops will be an
attempt to iron out a secondary
plan for' the Township of
Colborne to organize land-use,
The Colborne Township Council
requested that the -Huron
Planning Department prepare
a detailed, land, use plan with
development policies.
Last summer a student
researched the township and
prepared land use maps,which
were turned over to the .plan-
ning department. A plan ,was
discussed with council and
workshop dates were
established to present the idea
to the residents.
Huron County had previously
V- v •• Mouth
— adopted 'a county official plan
the first one in the province, but
that plan cannot suit all the
needy of the people in the
county. Therefore it -left it up, to
each town with the aid of the'
planning department to draw
up a secondary plan.
Huron County planner Gary
Davidson told the meeting that
the plan could have far
reaching implications but it
was to overcome conflicting
land use and' also presents a'
vision of the future.
