BY PATRICK RAF'TIS' A group of Goderich service organiza- tions have gotten into the Christmas spirit, area bit early this year. The 15 ai ea clubs arid Organizations have united for the first pro- lect. to ever involve all the local service groups, under the banner of "Christmas ,87" The eventual result of their combined ef- • forts should be a "bigger and better'," ver- sion of the annual Christmas lighting;, display on The Square, aid 'Thin Stark, of the Goderich Kinsmen (Club. The project begun, when a cor(imittee' was formed between 'the groups, to look, after the lighting; and decorating of The ' Square. • . "Like everyone else,' our' biggest challenge is storage," said Stark. Without a permanent place to store their decoarations when not in use, the clubs felt . it would be impossible to expand and ini-' prove the display as -they wi6;hed to do, and so, the idea of a conunon storage'shed was born; The ,groups approached, (.oderieh 't'ow'n Council ;amu I cceived apprcnal to locate the shed on town -owned lane. on C'y'press Street. The service clubs -will .'onstruct the shed nd pay clapital costs, :maintenance and utility costs, while the tavn.wilr supply the land, pay for the building -iermit, taxes and insurance and' look alter grounds maintenance. The building will he restricted to. storage of Christmas decoarations including both those owned by the town and the service 'lubs. Stark said it would- cost around $25,000 to have a contractor build the 31 by 50 foot sh- ed, but the groups hope'to co it for about half that, by doing the labor tiemselves. In this area, they -are hoping f-arsome general community involvement. Wien construc- tion starts, members of the public will ,be welcon e to come down and lend a hand -or a hammer to the project., • '`If they don't want to,help hat way, they '(an send donations to•'Christnas '87, Town of, Goderich,' and it will get to us," Stark said. ' . • This pooling of resources is not merely a Short-term 'prospect' which will end once the shed is built. "it's going to be a long term thing;." Stark said. ' -v„ Eventually, they plan to W(rk on enhanc- ing the Christmas lights display bj',holding a mini -winter carnival, with snow sculptures, and other attractions. "Our aim is to get more people involved. It's .i the display I is there for everyone's . enjoyment. In - the future we hope to • ex - pandit and get more activities going — try and make it aday-long event," said Stark, adding that he hopes the activities would get more families out to The Square at Christmas time. • Decorating The...Square :is. a unique op- portunity to showcase the town, said :Stark. "As . Kinsmen, • We •take peole from Maitland Manor around to see .the lights . and they come back with tears in their eyes," he said. "We have got the perfect placeto'do something like this: No one else has anything like that T.he Square) and -we should be promoting it." • Stanley Township Reeve, Clarence Rau had; good cause when he spoke,in support -of continuing a $f ,,90,.recreatiorlal grant for the:indoor stviinming pool at Vanastra. Toward the end of the special meeting, of Huron County Council, last Thursday, Stephen Township Reeve Tom- Toinessug- g;ested' cutting the grant from this year's Consolidated budget. A number' 'of councillors spoke on the issue, some suppnrtinc, Mi. Tomes' sug- gestion for a variety of reasons, while others presented an equally varied assort- inent of - arguments for continuing the. giant. However,,it was Mr.R.au who turn- ed -the tide and brought about the, collapse . of his fellow councillors - he told his , tale. . When'he was a°young; lad, Mr.. kali said, he never had an. opportunity, as children do n9ws, to hoard a bus and travel,to an in- door pool for swimming lessons. However, all that has changed as a result of , recent swimming lessons he . received. at the Vanastra °clot; When council regained thebir composure, a 234' recorded vote approved the grant.

'Eighteen days and two Sundays remain in the' season for reflection on the suffering and the deoth of Jesus Christ at Calvary on a plain wodden cross, Of tremendous significance to Christians is Christ's promise that He will forgive the sins of those who believe in Him and trust that His suf• tering and death paid in full for nil their sins, no matter how grievous Aside from the Scriptures themselves, there is almost no authentic rnformotion about Jesus Christ But the Roman historian Tacitus, writing soon after 100 A D did make a passing reference to Chrtwstus and states that he was condemned to death by Pontius Pilate under Emperor.
