The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-08-11, Page 5Not promoting parks` Dear Editor, Re: Lack of Tourist Ac- commodation. As a tent and trailer park owner, 1 would like to com- ment on your front page arti- cle in the August 4 issue of the Signal -Star regarding the shortage of 'tourist ac- • commodation in Goderich. Mrs. Adams was quoted as saying she sent campers out to Farmers' Fields to camp, and she,also suggests people encourage campers to set up in driveways. By doing this, she, as supervisor of the tourist center, is not Iwo - muting the use of dhe ex- isting trailer parks in the • area. We have A turned away campers only once this sum- mer and in fact, the past long weekend, which she in- dicated there was no accom- modations available, we phoned, the tourist center and told them we had sites available. I know that other parks in the Goderich area are ex- periencing a similar sum- mer to ours. We build these facilities to accommodate an average volume of traffic and it is not possible to survive financial- ' ly if we were to build large enough parks to accom- modate peak traffic on long weekends. ;The occupancy rate of the parks in the Goderich area is low enough now that we do not• need any additional facilities in this ETTERS 2 .0183.11,11411 area. Let's not encourage camping m farmers' fields or in the driveways of our homes, but, encourage the use of our existing facilities. Possibly; the tourist center could set up.a formal vacan- cy reporting system for all tourist establishments in the area so that they could be in- formed more fully as to available accommodation in our area. ° Ray Bush, Shelter Valley Park PM at it again Dear Editor, Wonder boy is now the in- stigator of economic mish- mash. It will the a case of government -controlled cors porations and privately - owned corporations com- peting for the economic market. Example - the government -controlled CNR will be able to offer a reduc- ' tion in its prices to the public because wage and price con- trols will be enforced. Privately - owned corpora- tions and companies will have to compete with unions .and strikes, before they ob- tain the same results .as, the government, putting them at a gross disadvantage, because theyy do not have any legitimate reason for in- troducing controls, which will. result in massive unemployment and setbacks economically. lf they are going to in- troduce wage and price con- trols, it should be com- pulsory for a certain length of time, for everybody. The ploy is this: the 'government wishes to reduce its operating costs to pay off the debt of approx- imately pproximately 27 billion dollars, and leave the private sector to fend for itself without any legitimate backing. If we have more unemployment, where is the government going to collect its tax revenue? You guess- ed it! The private corpora- tions. I would strongly ad- vise the unions to soft peddle their demands, and beat the government at its own game. sincerely, N.J. Minaker Says present referendum useless Dear Editor, Some municipalities are holding a • referendum on municipal ballots - for 'ex- ample Goderich Council debated asking voters — 'Are you in favor of nuclear disar- mament? This I believe is ' useless.• I would suggest a more logical approach would be: REFERENDUM 1. Are you in favor of re- questing through the United NationsOrganization 'a study by all nations on the ef- world-wide scientific danger fects of.nuclear warfare? to mankind. N. T. Anderson, 2. Are you In tavor of a freeze by all countries cur- rently producing nuclear weapons? 3. Are you in favor of joint action by all the nuclear powers in co-operative reduction of their nuclear arsenals? • Only by understanding the .problem; halting its spread-. and reducing the possibility of its use can effective steps , .be taken for control of this Port Albert.
