At its'January6 meeting, planning board approved a zoning ammendment, redesignating the land highway com- mercial, to permit the construction of .a building with a health spa, convenience store and doughnut shop.

Some members of planning board ex- pressed a concern about vacancies in existiang malls bit were assured that leases have already been signed for the proposed mini mall.

Suncoast Mall has vacancies, the new mall has vacancies and now` there will be another, mall," she said. The proposed mall will be located on the south-west corner of Bayfield Road and Suncoast Drive.

Dear Editor: The Huron County Christmas Bureau, operated by Family and Children's Services, has completed another successful project of assisting families at Christmas. This is due large- ly to the efforts of a number of dedicated volunteers in the community who co- ordinate the distribution centers and whoare assisted by many individuals and. groups in the community who provide facilities, dona- tion of gifts and money. In 1980, . the" Christmas Bureau assisted 200 families and 475 chikt en in having a happier Christmas_ Families were referred by social ser- vice agencies, ministers and service clubs' m the county and requests were co- ordinated through our office. Each family was given an appointment at the center closest to their own home and assisted with their shop- ping at the center by volunteer staff there. As a result, each child received one new toy and one nett ar- ticle of clothing under, the Wee on Christmas morning. In your area we would have been unable to provide this service without the capable assistance of Mrs. Diane Armstrong, the co- ordinator of the, Christmas �ureau in Goderich- She agave many hours of her time to bring some pleasure to others and deserves recogni- tion for her service to people. In order to operate the center appropriately, Mrs. Armstrong spent • many hours organizing the re- quests of specific children; shopping for suitable ar- ticles, collecting donations, and then setting up, obtain- ing staff and, distributing gifts from the centers. Her contribution to Family, and Children's Services and to her community was im- measurable and invaluable. We musi also acknowledge the contribution of service clubs throughout the county - to the Huron County Christmas Bureau. In smile areas they spent many hours distributing, collecting and sorting boxes for donations of new toys. Many service clubs made financial con- tributions to our budget of almost $10,000 which also provided funds for families to buy Christmas dinner. Individuals all over the comity spent the year knit- ting so that children corning to the centers could be pro- vided with warm mitts. The Salvation Army in Goderich and Wingham allowed us the use of their buildings and Captain Perrin and Lieutenant Koops spent many hours working on our, behalf.
