Shipbuilding Company of Cleveland and entered ser- vice in 1908. In the early years, she hauled . ore and coal for the Richardson Transportation Company. Had it not been for the hand of fate, the ship, known at the time as the Howard M. Hanna Jr., would likely have ended up with the Columbia Transportation Company. It was not to be, for the vessel became a victim of the Great Storm of 1913. On November 11, the coal laden steamer stranded near Port Austin, Michigan, and took a severe beating from the elements. The loss was set at $325,000 and the vessel was abandoned to the under- writels.. - Captain Thomas Reid of Sarnia, a salvage expert, got the ship off her perch in 1914 and gently towed the hull to Collingwood. It was repaired there and at Midland and sold to the Great Lakes Transit Company. They renamed her Glenshee. The vessel joined Canada Steamship Lines in 1926 as Marquette. Then, in 1927, this firm renamed her Goderich and she is shown in Emory A. Massnian. Goderich "served CSL in- terests for 35 years usually carrying ore, coal and grain. " The 500 toot (152.40 metres) freighter hauled 9,200 tons deadweight or 323,000 bushels of grain. A triple ex- pansion engine, installed after her accident, and two coal-fired scotch boilers, served her final years. The Goderich suffered two collisions in the mid forties. In June 1943 an accident with the Frank Armstrong in the St. Mary's River left a cou- ple of severely damaged bows. The latter vessel was on her first Great Lakes voyage after being commis- sioned. Later, on July 25, 1945, a collision of a less serious nature involved the American freighter W. W. Holloway. This occurred on Lake Superior. The Algoma Central fleet purchased the Goderich in 1963 and changed her name to Agawa. As such, she occa- sionally called at Goderich. Her final name of Lionel Parsons was acquired in 1968 with the sale to the Goderich Elevator Company. She has served here as a storage hull since that time. A freighter that had five owners, six names and two flags -over a period-- of 75 years has reached the end of the line. The old Goderich was indeed a worthy carrier of the name.

Later that year, in October, the Ministers of Education and In- dustry/Tourism (at that time Larry Grossman} joint- ly announced the "functional specifications" for educa- tional micro -computers, identifying "two key stan- dards": (a) common hardwares of equipment specifications and (b) common cataloguing and indexing specifications. Effective with the 1982 and subsequent General Legislative Grant Regula- tions, micros to meet the new specs were to be includ- ed as part of the recognized extraordinary expenditures of school boards. Specific details were promised with the annual GLG announce- ment. Also in October, "F1uine- tional Specifications for an All -Canadian Educational Micro Computer", a research report by The Canadian Advanced Technology Association (CATA) was released. The Ministry announced approx- imately 3,200• micro - comps s had been pur- chased by Ontario School Boards to date acid were in classroom use. Sales of Ilius to schools accounted for twoper telt of manufae- revenue. By 1983, educational micro sales make up 25 per cent of revenue. The Ontario Teachers' Federation advis- ed that its members want 30,000 computers in schools by 1983; 120,000 by 1985, and advocated that the "glacial pace" of change in the Education system must be accelerated. A TVO survey found 4,500 computers in 4,600 schools. Commodore had captured approximately 85 per cent of the market, at a per unit cost of less than $1,000. In the fall of 1981, three venture capital groups were approached to create the education computer consor- tium, although 26 CATA member companies had con- tribiited $1,000 each toward the cost of original CATA research. North American Ventures had contributed $500,000. .Microdesign and Compas (now Meridian sub- sidiaries) were also original participants. January 1982, the Ministry of Education estimated there were 5,500 computers in classrooms. February 1982, Canadian Educational Microprocessor Corporation (CEMCorp) made efforts to' raise $3 million in venture capital, to produce its prototype classroom computer, to be ready by late Fall. The Com- pany's president (now with Computer Innovations) ad- vised a software based system would be produced for electronically distributing learning material to individual students and the necessary display computers. Design philosophy was to exploit software techniques to pre- vent hardware obsolescence. There was concern over the late entry of a Canadian micro -computer into the market. Complaints about CATA specs were voiced: "They were supposed to specify how the computer was to function and not the DEADLINE: August 8, 1983 BEAT THE 7% SALES TAX BUY NOW!

A limited partnership pro- posal, with a minimum $100,000 per unit purchase price was withdrawn from the Ontario Securities Com mission. in October 1982, Lorne Smith, Executive Secretary of the Advisory Committee on Computers in Education, advised that the was not ready to help school boards buy Computers that Fall. He admitted: "The Ministry of Education plans to have some control over the introduction of desk top computers into the classroom are in disarray." CEMCorp was without ade- quate financing, and main- taining a "holding pattern". The government of Alberta, after conducting a Task Force on Computers in Education, bought 1,000 Ap- ple II Micros for classroom use. The Ministries of Educa- tion and Industry and Trade announced in March 1983 a $15 million hardware/soft- ware package for computers in education, through a revived CEMCorp;-. now managed by Meridian Technologies Ltd. The two Ministries conditionally guaranteed sales of CEM - Corp micros — $2 million on delivery of prototype and million on delivery to classrooms in 1985. Shortly before the joint ministerial announcement, Meridian Technologies had become majority shareholder of CEMCorp and had raised over $1 million of a $2 million share offering (in Meridian not CEMCorp). Estimates placed Ontario School Board purchases of micro- eomputers at approximately 9,000 units for the province's 75,000 classroor1ls, y mous mills - Richmond, Peerless, rlington, Coronet, Harding.
