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.

WELCOME TO THE FRIENDLY CHURCH
The Fourth Sunday in Lent
The Fourth Sunday in Lent will be celebrated
• this Sundoy in the Christian Church. '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. Tiberius Thl's fits with the Biblical ac-
count which Christians accept by+,faith.
