Reeve Eileen Palmer this week praised the. "trernendou's organization" in Bay City., She said she had received the key to the cijy and a copy of a resolution from Bay City concerning the municipality's gratitude to Canada fpr harboring six Americans during the Iranian crisis. Reeve Palmer said she hopes that during Goderich's Friendship Days in June, this town can show the Bay City delegation "an equally good, .firedly time as we were shown down there". t� fling The town is still waiting for news from the Huron County Board of Education and Huron County Council regarding £he amount of funds those bodies will be needing this year. Goderich town council is presently working on the municipal budget, but final mill rates cannot be set until the county requests are known. Gets approval The Beta Theta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi is assisting the Huron Unit of the Ontario Cancer Society with the sale of daffodils on March 27, 28 and 29. Town council, unanimously gave its approval for this special project by the sorority. Want official ok. The town's road crew may soon be able to act officially on requests from the town police to salt or sand streets in the off hours. ..Apparently. the traffic , committee had reports that the road crews hesitated to go out after hours to salt and to sand at the request .of police, because the work hadn't been specifically ordered by the com- missioner of works. Th- commissioner of works, Ken Hunter, told council Monday evening that every time the police have called the road crews this winter, the salt truck has .gone out to do the work as requested. Reeve Eileen Palmer confirmed many overtime hours have -been logged this winter on just such oc- casions. The matter has been referred to, public works for recommendation. It is understood the police ask for salting and sanding on stretches of road which in their opinion, are - azardous for drivers and cou13-cause accidents. ... a United way best? The Beta Sigma Phi's service chairman; Lynda Rotteau, wrote to town council this week asking'about the possibility•of a United Appeal for funds in Goderich rather than so• many individual campaigns. • Mrs.: Rotteau suggests that the arthritis society, the cancer society, the heart fund, the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and Easter Seals could all collect funds through this one annual canvass. "We feel that such a plan would save the citizens of Goderich much time and aggravation and with all the - service clubs working together once a year, much time and effort," she wrote. • Council members were agreed this suggestion was not something in which the town's elected officials needed to become involved. Reeve Eileen Palmer suggested the sorority girls should set up a steering committee to investigate this idea further. Her motion was seconded by Councillor Elsa Haydon. COMMUNITY NEWS Need road study Commissioner of Works Ken Hunter said this week it would beworthwhile', perhaps, if the town would develop a five year road'needs plan. He said that while he was attending • the Good Roads Convention in Toronto, he spoke with a represen- tati'we-,f-Pro-ctorentl; Redfern Group about the possible need for aRoad Needs Study in Goderich. A letter at • Monday evening's council meeting advised that Proctor and Redfern is anxious to assist the town with this project. No decision was reached. Marina needs lift Doug Bundy of.the Goderich Sailing Club has advised town councilvia'the waterfront committee that an in- crease for dockage fees may be in order "as „long as corresponding improvements are med to the marine". Bundy believes some im- provements should be made to the slips on the west side of the marine to make them more solid. When the marina and harbor committee went over the budgets for 1980, it was agreed there. were "no fat" budgets and recommended to council that no cuts be made. However, during the budget discussion Monday evening it was evident the finance committee is proposing reductions in' the marina budget: Councillor Elsa Haydon argued against the cuts, saying that the marina revenue is sufficient to cover operation costs.'' But, she claimed, the marina does require some work which can't be-. financed except through municipal funding. She,reconimended the funds be. left in the marina budget, and will get another chance on. Monday, March 31 to plead her case. Signs changed Council has asked the public works departmen-t to, remove all the No Parking signs on the south side of Blake Street between Eldori and. the est end of Robertson Memorial School ••• • g sign's on the north side .of Blake Street in the same stretch. - Council was acting on a recom- mendation of the traffic committee. The objet is to better protect school children from accidents that can occur when being let out of cars on the wrong side of the street and having to cross the road to get to the school yard. As well, , the traffic committee asked for the removalof the warning signs regarding the new stop signs on Blake Street. Council agreed with the corfimittee the community has 'had sufficient time to become accustomed to the signs.

She said the fact a beer tent wasn't spelled out is of little consequence since the "money raised is always used for a good cause". - "Our hands never shake when we go to our service clubs for assistance with our town projects," said thereeve. Councillor Haydon reiterated she was not opposedto the beer garden. She argued, however, the Kinsmen and the Lions always outlined specific plans when asking for coun- cil's support for beer tents, and she felt the Optimists should "take a lesson" and do likewise. Councillor Stan Profit was concerned that there are "too many events held at the same time with nobody knowing what's going on". He suggested that while the Optimists were the first to an-1the use of -Harbor Park for that. specific June weekend, it was possible other groups that were accustomed to using the facilities at thepark, would have other events scheduled. Some -concern was voiced that the police department wasn't aware until after F.cuincil's tentative approval was given for the event, that a beer tent was involved. Reeve Palmer put council's mind to rest on that score. She said the chief of police, Pat King, has no objection to a beer tent at the Optimists' festival. "Young people, music and beer can be a difficult thing to control," said Councillor Jim Magee, "but if the authorities feel it is okay, I - trove no objections." In a retiorded vote, the motion introduced by Haydon and' Searls was lost when the voting resulted in a tie. Those voting for- the motion were Haydon, Searls, Magee and Mayor Harry Worsell. Those opposing. were Palmer, Profit Brian Knights and Doherty. Deputy -reeve Bob Allen was absent.
