guidelines, wasn't ae-

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 29 of 1972, stipulates
that the group home Faust l
approved.by the Ministry`"of
Communityial
and
S
Services and operated by a
corporations , tt must be
operated- as a fully detached
home in which three to 10
residents, excluding staff,
live as a family under
responsible supervision; it
must meet the demonstrated
needs of the community; it
must be registered with the
municipality and must be in',
compliance with local
bylaws.
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

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.

Sir Thomas Piston was
another general who had a
distinguished career in`the
Napoleonic wars,
in the battle whip took place
in Spain, He was tilled in Ude
battle of Waterloo on. 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,

Andrew Street and Si David

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.

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

Cameron Street, after its

Wilson Street, Tilt Street,.

is dolt after our first

Blake Street bears the
name of Edward Blake, a
leading authority on the
Canadian Constitution. 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

• 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.

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.
