Looking Back
Hospital gets first patient
75 YEARS AGO
The new Alexandra
Hospital on South Street,
which it is proposed to for-
mally open on December 1,
the Queen's birthday,
received its first patient on
Monday last when Fred
Williams, who it will be
remembered was so badly
burned at the upsetting of a
dinkey engine on the C.P.R.
construction works a couple
of months ago, was removed
there.
A new departure in the
lake fishing industry was
made at Goderich last
Saturday in the shipment of
30 barrels of lake perch to
Buffalo.
Carpenters are putting in
the front at the Hodgens
Brothers' new . store and
when the big store front is
glassed, the building will be
rushed to finish,
At a meeting of the town
council on October 5, the
report of the Water and Light
Committee recommended
that the men who had been
employed unloading the
cargo of coal brought for the
town be paid only 75 per cent
of their claim, the contention
being that the men had so
played with their work as to
make the job last nearly six
days when four would have
been ample time.
Hamlink made some large
shipments of evaporated
apples this week. The
evaporator is being run to its
full power these .days as
there is still plenty of fruit
25 YEARS AGO.
Calling . the situation
"critical", Councillor James
Donnelly urged town council
Friday night to take new
steps to curb dangerous
driving on the Square
"before someone is Id lied",
Unseasonably warm
weather on the weekend
brought to the harbor an
unusually large number of
visitors, Anglers were there
by the hundreds Sunday and
it is estimated that at least
10,000 perch were caught in
that day alone.
Paving the way for the new
$6,000,000 rock salt mining
development • here, town
council held a special
meeting Tuesday afternoon
to authorize cancellation of
its lease on harbor property
required for the project.
The number of tourists
registering at the local in-
formation booth this sum-
mer was slightly higher than
in 1955, said Miss Bea
Bradford in a report sub-
mitted to town council
Friday. This summer, 1,157
persons signed the book,
compared to 1,136 hi 1955.
YEARS AGO
Goderich town council
approved a tender from
Logan Construction Com-
pany of Stratford last week
for the reconstruction of the
Goderich arena at $427,914.
J.F. Burgess, president of
Textral Fibres Ltd., an-
nounced Wednesday af-
ternoon that the company's
Goderich operation was
closing this Friday, October
29.
Goderich town council
passed a special con-
struction by-law Monday
afternoon that is the last step
necessary for thetown to ask
the Ontario Municipal Board
for permission to debenture
for the $1.5 million Industrial
Park storm sewer.

Money made at the bazaar
goes towards the residents'
activity periods and bus trips
which started with the help
of a New Horizons grant
about five years ago.
"It gives the residents
satisfaction knowing that
they are paying their own
way," explains activity
director, Rita Toby.
Wooden bird houses made by these gentlemen will be on
sale at the Maitland Manor bazaar and tea November 4.
