(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Wants free launching Dear Editor: In Elsa Haydon's com- ments on the new launching facilities " at Fisherman's Wharf, she fails to consider the number of unemployed individuals who cannot af- ford the "small" fee charged by the town and the Federal government. Why does the Goderich council seem to be driving the tourists and local `fishermen away from the area rather than inviting them to make use of the har- bour facilities? Many of the campers and day visitors L:EE1TT.ERS are most reluctant to pay a fee to launch their boats on the chance that they may catch a few fish, or simply for pleasure. Considering the prite of gas, launch fee and boat payments, the price of perch (if they haven't all been taken by the commer- cial fishermen) is mighty high! The town council should allow free launching at least at the Snug Harbour ramp and promote tourism which benefits all the citizens of Goderich.
