Sesquicentennial has unified
Goderich Township people
It has now been six months that the
residents of Goderich Township have been
celebrating their Sesquicentennial. Dances,
card parties, a fashion show, social gather-
ings, a nature walk and a special Easter ser-
vice all have been highlights so far.
Everyone is looking forward to the special
week, July 15-21, the play called the Farm
Show and the children eagerly await their
fun Sports Day on July 6.
Many people have unearthed trivia in
their search for information on their family
history or for the published history of the
township. These finds have amused and
entertained many visitors to these homes.
The Township. records also house in-
teresting facts. For these choice bits of
historical notes a thank you must be extend-
ed to the Township Clerk, R.E. Thompson.
Did you know that in 1880 the Clerk was to
be paid $100 to do all/hat Council required
him to do and also what the law required
him to do? In 1881 it was recorded that the
reeve gave the deputy -reeve some. verbal
advice - no mention is made as to what the
advice was! In 1882 it was noted that the
treasurer was ill so no accounts were paid.
Every tavern keeper in 1856 was to allow
travellers free use of fire and watpr and

Over 100 people requested the Township to
sign an agreement with Hydro permitting
rural hydro into the Township in 1920. In
1925 the enabling by-law was passed. It's
hard to say if governments today work any
slower! It was reported that in 1894 Council
met except for the Reeve since he had been
severely kicked by his horse. In 1901 a
gentleman was paid $12. for damages to his
child having its arm fractured, caused by a
defective sidewalk in Holmesville. Another
gentleman was paid $12. in 1869 for the care
and support of a foundling which was left at
his door..
These flashbacks in time make everyone
'realize that some things never change and
'that the humour and drama that surround
people today did so in years now only known
through records. The 1-5-0 celebrations have
given the residents a chance to reestablish
their identity as a very strong unified.coin-
munity. The visionaries would also add that
the best is yet to come!

GODERICH COMMUNITY
C 'EDIT UNION
GODERICH TOWNSHIP -Council here
has approved a request to designate the
White Carnation dining facility in
Holmesville as a heritage building.
Owner Sandra Orr made the request and
council approved it at their June meeting.
The White Carnation was known in 1895 as
the Holmesville Cheese and Butter Factory.

man and Bruce Rathwell purchased the old
building and converted it into an unique
reception and banquet hall. David and, San-
dra Orr purchased it in 1078.
In other business, Harbour Lights of
Bayfield requested a year's extension on the

Council passed a motion requesting the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs and 1lousiig
to extend the draft approval.

Board, teachers reach agreement
The Huron County board of Education
and its secondary school teachers reached
a tentative agreement after two days of
mediation at the Park Lane Hotel in Lon-
don.
"Wrung out" is how teacher negotiator
Shirley Weary of Goderich described her
feelings on Friday after the June 19 and 20
mediation session.
Prof. David Whitehead of the University
of Western Ontario, appointed by the
Education Relations Commission, con-
ducted the mediation sessions which
started about 3 p.m. on the Wednesday and
ended up on Thursday evening.
"The agreement is extremely fair to
both sides," said the professor.
• Weary also used the words "fair for both
sides" in describing the tentative agree-
ment.
The school board will have voted on
Tuesday, June 25 while Weary said the ten-
tative agreement was put to the teachers
Wednesday, June 26.
The details of the agreement won't be
released until after both parties have
ratified.
Secondary education in Huron took on a
gloomy aspect when the teachers voted in
favor of strike action on May 28.
