Goderich is, indeed, one of
the prettiest towns at any
season of the year - but in the
Spring it is outstanding.
With the great growth of the
town we have a lot of ugly. spots
create,d by building up or
tearing down - and right now
there is surely plenty of
building up. So, we are really
.. progressing. We have so many
fine -new homes and so many
nice young couples buying
these homes. I,bave met a great
many of these young people and
I feel Goderich is very for-
tunate to have them.
Every year we "lose" a
number of young folk Who were
raised here and need to try
their wings in another area of
Canada, but.after they grow up
they realize this is a pretty nice
town. It is nice to have them
come home.
One Goderich boy is retur-
ning for G.D.C.I. Music Nite
next Thursday 29 and he' is
bringing a 70 piece band with
him.
Jean and rold Bettger's
son Bill is ti usic Director at
the Mont, m School in Lon-
don, I' �. not sure, but it must be
a' pre big Secondary School
to ha e such a large band.
For the G.D.C.I. ' Annual
Spring Music Nite there is a
terrific program set up. There
are two choir groups, one from
Dresden-High—and -the "Clinton-
Huron Secondary School group.
The G.D.C.I. Senior Concert
Band - also a terrific group
make the fourth performing
group for this evening.
Al,. Mullen, G.D.C.I. Music
Director tells me the two
concert bands will join .for the
finale. How about THAT!
Do get your ticket and enjoy
this good music. LIVE - alive -
instead of TV stuff.
The Sr. Concert Band,
G.D.C.I., have a busy schedule.
going all the way to Orilliaand
North Bay for concerts. The
Widdifield Band was here a few
weeks ago go this is a return or
exchange performance. at
North Bay. • U .
You can mark your calendar
for a fine Sunday evening
conert in Haiiiikr Park on June
22. I guess we are lucky to have
them for that date as they are
quite a popular group. Good
going, Al Mullen!
The Celebration '75 Corn-
mittee also hope you have been
marking your calendar when
you hear, especially thru the
Signal, of activities for this '
special year.
I hope you will all co-operate
by telling your friends about
the two big weeks in July., Also,
anyone interested in painting or
crafts please . register . at the
Recreation Office or • leave
word with Reg. Bell Optom.
office.
The Committee for the
Festival of the Arts, especially,
are interested in your talents
and hope you plan to' be with us
for the three days of July 17, 18
and 19.
There .will be sketching and
•photography trips, tours of
Historical homes and other
events and you can make a date
to each day have a pleasant few
moments with your friends in
the Old Fashioned Tea Garden.
The Garage Sales are going
great guns right now. One little
girl advertises hers for May 24
starting at 9 a.m. with "lots of
neat stuff". The Girl Guides are
having one on the same day but
starting•at 10 a.m. •
I just hope they don't conflict
but they probably have .lots of
neat stuff too. See, coming
events for more info!
Don't forget the Penny Fair,
•Bake Sale and even "flower
demonstration " at the local
hospital Women's Auxiliary,'
May 28 at Knox Church 2:30
p.m, Since you have tea out in
the afternoon you might as well
make a day of it and attend the
nice turkey, ham and salads
and yummy stuff the ladies of
Nile United Church are serving
for supper starting about 5 :30.
I want to., apologize for
missing an item for our popular
Women's Day Out - which
,should have been.in last week's
'column. Sorry, girls, I just hope
you, had your excellent at-
tendance anyway - and please
let me help another time.
I think this group have done.a
great service for aq lot of
newcomers to our town.
A lot of these young folks
have small children, they
haven't met enough .people to
have baby sitters available so
they can go otit and meet
people. So this group with their
babysitting facilities have been
just GREAT and a lot of fine
friendships have started
because a few people worked so
hard to get this morning
meeting started.
I hope they have some plans
'for the summerfnonths so that
the group doesn't drift apart. It
is nice to know that even a few
would be meeting at a park or
the beach on certain days and
the new gals in town still have a
chance to get acquainted.
There, are a few,, clubs and
organizations I'd like to hear'
from re: their plans for par-
ticipating in the Celebration '75
activities. Let's talk this thing
'up, people really want to know
ahead what is going on.
Someone asked me one day if
we had anyone here who made
those nice quilts.
Yes, we do - will you call me
again, please? Don't forget the
Sorority Spring Ball at Salt -
ford, May 31.
Love,
Martha

sports 'of every kind and
sponsors an Industrial Baseball

enjoyed their manysuccesses.

promises to be a busy day; full of action and surprises. So,
• try to be there and show us that you love us!
I'd just like to Mention that we held our dance on.the'lOth
