Sude'rich delegation to the Bay
a. ,l ebi$an, St. Patrick's Day
ide .Was treated royally again this
year.
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.
Mayor in demand

GoderiCh this summer at two im-
portant area affairs.

ranged skating for the stud-
ents at the Lucknow arena
from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on

Beerboosts,..

reasoned Doherty.
- "None of us is wearing blinders," said Reeve
Eileen Palmer. 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.
