Dear readers,
•
It is fast approaching the month of April
'""once again and everyone knows that April is
known as "Cancer Month".
After at least ten years of dedicated ser-
vice, the Sorority Groupsin the Town of
Goderich have decided to let another group
take on the task of selling daffodils this
year. As a member of the Goderich Branch
of the Cancer Society, I can vouch that the
Society is most appreciative of the work
done by the ladies in the sorority groups dur-
ingthe past ten years. I understand that the
number of branches of daffodils sold has
more than trippled in that length of time.
There will be very few people reading this
paper today whose lives have not been
touched by cancer is some way or another.
It is probably one of the -most dreaded
diseases of our time.
I believe that the only way we can hope to
come up with a curt, or in the alternative to.
alleviate some of the stress from families
who have a member now suffering from
cancer, is to contribute as much money as
we possibly can towards research,and home
care.

Councillors should clean
up street reader says
Dear editor;
A week ago last Monday hubby and I took
a walk around the Square after our noon day
lunch. We were astounded to see so much
rubbish on the sidewalks in front of many
places of business - anything from empty
pop cans to pieces of brick and mortar. We
appreciated the few business
establishments whohad taken the time, and
had enough pride in their trade, to clean the
sidewalk in front of their store.
We go for many walks around the Square
and find it, at times, looking good; but, on
this ,particular Monday if left much to be
desired. It was certainly not the most
beautiful town in Canada on this occasion.
May I suggest that if the merchants,do not
keep the sidewalk clean in front of their
stores, that the members of our town council
go down and do so' this in return for the trips
and dinners, we, the ratepayers, buy them.
from time to time,
Yours truly,
Clean Sweep:,
