The bylaw follows provincial guidelines too rigidly and is not tailored to the needs of the community councillor Glen Carey said before voting against the bylaw. "It seems that whatever the province defines as a group home we allow," he said. "I can't endorse the bylaw, in which the function of the home has been delegated and we simply trust the province implicitly. But history tells us other wise." Carey also questioned a section of the bylaw which stipulates that the group home is required to meet the needs of the community. It is too vague to be practical, he said. "We have a dual responsibility to the tax- payers axpayers to make sure there are proper safeguards in the home and -'to the needy or retarded of the community," he said. "But there should be more local control."

The bylaw approves the location of group homes for the mentally retarded, in all residential areas of town. It does not approve the establishment of any other type of group homes. The bylaw also contains several special provisions which stipulate that - the distance between group homes for the retarded must be 300 metres; there must be one parking space for every three beds; there must be 18.58 square metres of habitable living space per resident; there must be a minimum 4.65 square metres of floor space and 11.33 cubic metres of air space for each resident under 16 years of age and 6.97 metres of floor space and 16.99 cubic metres of air space for each resident overyeam al age.

There Must -he a, minimummom ainelait/ area of 18.58 square metres Per resident but the area will not include driveway. An explanatory note on the bylaw says its purpose is to set out f policies for the establishment of group homes for the retarded in the town of Goderich. It permits only homes . for retarded persons in all residential areas but it restricts concentration in any residential neigh- bourhood. "Group homes are seen as a better and more humane alternative to in- stitutionalization for people with non-acute social, mental and physical problems who require more care than their families can provide, but do not require the level of care found in institutions and ensure that needy individuals are not forced to leave their com- munities to find suitable care." the bylaw read. The bylaw must now be circulated in the newspaper and any objectors have 21 days to reply. Agreement reached Goderich town council passed a bylaw Monday authorizing the town to sell a parcel of land to and to enter into an agreement with Goderich and District Handicapped Services Incorporated 550152. The company, acting on behalf of the Goderich and District Association for the Mentally Retarded, has purchased a parcel of land near Huron Road and Suncaost Drive and will proceed with the con- struction of an industrial workshop for the mentally retarded. The town agreed to sell the land for $5,000 per acre and construction will begin soon. ANSTETT JEWELLERS 8 ALBERT ST..

June 18, X815. His memory lives on in Goderich in Picton Street; While the Napoleonic Wars were raging in Europe, its counterpart, the War of 1812, was being fought in Canada°. Dunlop saw action in that war at the Battle of Cryslers Farm (1813) and Lundy's Lane (1814). But the distinguished British General, Sir Isaac Brock, who was killed at the Battle of Queenston Heights in 1812 is the one that reminds us here of the War of 1812, as Brock Street is named after him. In "The Charge of the Light Brigade" Lord Ten- nyson wrote: "Forward, the Light Brigade! Was there a man dismayed? Not tho' the soldier knew Someone had blundered; Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die: Into the Valley off Death Rode the six hundred." The blunder referred to by Tennyson was the misin- terpretation of the confusing orders of Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, first Baron Raglan, commander-in-chief of the British troops in the Crimea, in October, 1854. Two-thirds of the Light Brigade were wiped out in that charge at Balaclava, where, because of the con- fusing orders 'they had charged the wrong guns. Rliglan fought in • the Napoleonic wars, had been Wellington's aide-de-camp, and had lost an arm at Waterloo. We should think of him, and of the charge of the Light Brigade, every time we walk along Raglan Street. Raglan sleeves are also named after him. • But the early settlers were not all thoughts of war. They remembered their homeland with nostalgia. Not only do we find Britannia Street (the name is misspelled on some of the earlier maps) but also Caledonia Terrace from the celtic word for • Scotland, '1101). Sow ler •- *santflibegnia Sb, tut you'll,have to.look:li rd foe° it, as WSeffler'the hank at the extremelrest end of Brit m- ilia, and quite separated from it - just like the Republic of Ireland has separatedfom Their; saints too, were not forgotten. St. Georges Cres- cent, St, Patrick Street, St.. Andrew Street and Si David Street the patron saints of United Kingdom and Ireland. Norfolk Street, 'Essex Sheet and Gloucester Ter- race also are reminders of the, mother country. Some however must 'have had other memories, for there is one street - called Newgate Street. - Newgate • was a notorious- prison- in London, near the Old Bailey. Indeed a man who shaved his.face but not the area between his chin and his neck: was said to have the "Newgate fringe", as it was in that area that the rope would be placed about the neck of one about to be hanged. Many of the early settlers were Scottish, and they did not forget Robert I, King of Scotland (1274 - 1329), who defeated the English at Ban- nockburn -in 1314. He is bet- ter etter known as Robed the Bruce, and Bruce Street recalls the Scottish hero. We should also recall the fable about him of King Bruce & the Spider, and keep on try- ing. rying. Bruce is also the family name of the Earls of Elgin and Kincardine. The seventh earl acquired those famous Greek sculptures in the British museum known as the "Elgin Marbles", and his son James, the eighth Earl of Elgin became "Governor General of Canada in 1846, and established here the pat- tern of responsible govern- ment. Lord Elgin lives on here in Elgin Avenue, the on- ly avenue in Goderich.

Hamilton wast ala where persons coning x water from Mandl had to debark, and :- - overland to Goderich, and it was here that Dunlop's body was temPorarily stored at Dundurn Castle on its way back for burial at Goderich. It is a nice touch however to see that Hamilton Street joins Nelson Street - perhaps a quiet reminder of Nelson's great romance with Lady Hamilton. Toronto, capital of Upper Canada, also is recognized by a Goderich street. Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837, and she and her husband Albert have streets named after them. Her mother was of the house of Sane -Coburg -Gotha, and Coburg Street reminds us of that fact. After George Il went mad, his son (later George IV) 'became Prince Regent, and he is remembered - hi Goderich by Regent Street. Our present queen also has her name in Elizabeth Street. Running south off Britan- nia is Palmerston Street. Lord Palmerston was Foreign Secretary in Britain in 1830, and became Prime Minister in 1855. Two streets in south Goderich honour historic English Universities - Ox- ford Street and Cambridge Street. The streets of Goderich South of Britannia are much more political in tone - Gib- bons Street. after the third mayor of Goderich, Cameron Street, after its fifth mayor, Horton Street, after its eleventh mayor. Wilson Street, Tilt Street,. Mooney Street and Huckins Street all bear the names of former mayors, while Delbar Crescent is a com- bination of a contraction of the Christian names of former Mayor Delbert Shewfelt and his wife Bar- bara. Some day Worsell Street may be added to the roster. missioner of the Canada Company, has a street nam- ed after him as do early politicians like Francis Hin- cks and William Cayley, ee (later the former of :11945e, and t- . t•- tReceedeil the Conservative or Huron.

Ire 1871. he was Prime Minister of Ontario and in 1875 was Minister of Justice in MacKenzie's Federal Cabinet. Later in his became a member 1• I I he the British House of Commons. • There is but one street that bears the name of a judge - Eldon Street. Lord. Eldon was the lord Chancellor of England (and as such also a Cabinet Minister) in 1827. He is noted for the slowness of his judgments, and among the matters he- opposed were Catholic Emancipation, law reform, the abolition of the slave trade and the abolition of the debtors , prisons. He must have been a pro- gressive judge! In more recent years those who name the streets here seem to have lacked im- agination. They have turned to trees, so that we have Ash Lane, Locust Street, Spruce Street, Cypress - Street, Walnut Street, Maple Street and Oak •Street, and have become obsessed with ' the sun so that we have Suncoast Drive, Sundown Crescent, Sunset Drive, and Surview Crescent. We lack only Sunstroke Terrace. The paradox about the streets of Goderteh is that there are nostreets 'honour- ing either Galt or Dunlop, its founders. No street named: Vimy, no street named Falais, no street named Con- federation. Dare we hope for a Constitution Square? . We should not fail to honour our own heroes, our own statesmen and our own achievements. Like it or not, we are now a nation, in law as well as in fact. We must develop a national pride, and the names given to our streets are one way of perpetrating it. Emergency fire ... • from page 1 Goderich mayor Eileen Palmer told the other towns - represented that "we absorb the ad- ministration costs for the system and we feel we are doing everyone a favor." Goderich town clerk Larry McCabe, who estimated the administration costs between $5,000-$7,000 per year, said if any of the other towns wanted to look after the system's administration, they were welcome to it. "It's an unfortunate set-up and it causes a tremendous number of headaches," he said. Originally, the communications system was set up as a Huron County system in order to qualify for a provincial government grant. There was some argument at that time over where to house the common system and Clinton' Police Chife Lloyd Westlake reminded the meeting that . his town had been a contender. Wingham representative Jack Kopas said he was not concerned with Goderich's administrative handling of the system but just wanted to make sure the level of service now being offered would be maintained despite the addition of fire calls. • otkc'' Book & Gift Shop 33 East St., GODERICH 524-7531 (formerly Anderson's) WE CARRY A COMPLETE STOCK OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS •Booties & Gifts *Office & School Supplies •Stationery •Art Supplies *Greeting Cards *Wedding SupplIrst •Coln & Stamp Collecting Supplies 'Party Supplies *Souvenirs & Novelties *Games 8, Modelo - WE CARRY A FULL LINE OF P NS AND RRFIN LS PLEASE PEEL FREE TO COME IN AND BROWSE KING'S Book sr Gift Ship
