Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-09-16, Page 24cRaund 'n About Martha Rathburn Last year Elliot Rivett and David White said "Terry Fox has passed the dream on to us". Now, it has been passed on for a very suc- cessful run this year and we can only hope, for the sake of all of us, that the future years will be just as' great financially and with even more runners to carry on the dream which will eventually wipe out cancer, .BUT - EVERYONE must help! I have to make the trip to . • the harbour every so often - quite often some weeks, just. because I love the water, the activity around it and the tranquility which can be found at a busy place. I miss .seeing the fishing nets drying in the sun; they used to make the old "fish shanties", look more color- ' ful. T think there was only one building you could call a fish shanty and it really wasn't a "shanty" - not for many years anyway. But, it seems, buildings along the wharf are always called fish shanties whether they deserve it or not. • The buildings do'*n there now, are very presentable - butfor the artists - not so col- . orful. I remember when they were building. the Sifto Salt shaft in 1958, then 'a hit -Of other buildings appeared. We Were told the 1900 foot shaft would be ready by 1959 and 100 'permanent employees would be there., I think that did not include the miners, mechanics and a dozen other categories that .work "down below". .Seventeen hundred to 2,000 tons a day was only the beginning of the rock salt broughtto the surface. I hear it is more like over two million tons now and three and a half million when the new buildings are com- pleted. Good going, Sifto (still OUR name for this great industry at the har- bour). Oh, they are a mile out under the lake and 1800 feet down. How about THAT! Have you noticed how well they are progressing with the town hall? The old post office is finally getting the facelift it deserved. This, to me, is a wonderful old building. I recall feeling badly because there was talk - - back in '58 or '59 about tear- ing down that building. Some people can only see tearing down things as soon as they get worn or old. We have so few really good, well-built buildings in Canada, that I am thankful that we now have an Heritage Act to protect those that are'still standing. I don't recall the age of the post office at that time but there was talk of shifting the municipal offices to MacKay Hall until Jack Marriott and a few others spoke up for the Little Theatre group and other organizations who were then using MacKay Hall. So, they were going to SELL the old post office and build a new one. There was an offer of about $9,000 presented! Property on East Street was available at less than $30,000 and a new evaluation had been made of $23,000 on the old post office so, the old building was sav- ed - and. I'm sure many others are glad it is finally being renovated and fussed up for another hundred or more years. Oh, in 1958, it was 78 years old. A couple of weeks ago I had a lady ask me how to get to the Little Lakes and I tried to tell her. I'm wondering if ev'ermad it?"
