Construction on Wellington
leaves area in shocking condition
{
Dear editor,
During the last 10 days where oh where
has everyone been? What are the Mayor,
the councillors, the police and the depart-
ment of Public Health doing while the cor-
ner of Wellington and Elgin has been in such
chaos?
Hundreds of trucks have not been re-
routed, and as they turn the corner coming
and going they have raised a dense fog of
dirt and dust.
Then ton the T auto trnr'kc with their land
Red Cross
thanks
Goderich
Dear editor,
Last May, The. Maple Leaf Chapter IODE
sponsored the Canadian. Red Cross
campaign.
On Aug. 6, a batik draft in the sum of
$7,335.77 was turned over to John Mulvihill,
Regional Executive Director of the Red
Cross. This is a substantial increase over
1985 and can only be • attributed to the
generosity of the citizens of Goderich.
I would like to thank all the canvassers,.
team captains, organizations, service clubs
and the citizens of Goderich for their time
and donations which have resulted in a suc-
cessfd 1986 campaign.
Sincerely,
Linda Murphy (Mrs. H.J.)

.Joe Snider built
the Dairy Bar
In regards to the letter in last week's
Signal -Star by Katherine Nivins "Dairy Bar
Corrections".
Yes! Mr. Joseph Snider built and owned
the Port Albert Dairy Bar. He also had, Mr.
and Mrs. George Baechler manage it for
him, who hired Mabel Grey and Evelyn
Breckow (Brockle bank) as part time help.
To this I am definitely sure.

LETTERS
uncontrolled, noise, have turned corner with
uncontrolled speed and gusto, that the im-
penetrable mists have followed them up
Wellington Street to Quebec, leaving inches
of dirt in the road, that the road -sweeper
and water wagon have neglected to clean
up.
This has been a shocking condition for all
of us. Where is the Christian attitude of con-
cern? Who is responsible for the
management?

cation and understanding will
luewater neighbors
alleviat fe s of
Dear editor,
I feel I must respond to the letter to the
editor signed "a deeply concerned area
citizen" regarding the Bluewater Centre. I
too am a neighbor of this institution and I
have children.
In the beginning, last year, I felt ap-
prehension of having the. young offenders
"next door" but that was short lived. I and
my children have been educated about the
young men that live there and have gained
incredible insight into "why they are
there".
My children are not afraid to be outside,
'at the beach and they have frequently slept
out in our tent. We lock our doors because
we always have, no matter where we have
lived.
As for the devaluation of property values,
I know that the hysterical reactions of peo-
ple living in the area is what will cause this -
not the fact the centre is nearby.
Three weeks following the, neighborhood
meeting at the Bluewater Centre, I am still
feeling appalled at the negative behaviour
of some of the people there. Only through
education and understanding will this fear
be allievated.
So come on neighbors - lets place our full
support behind Carl Degrandis and his ao-
ble, honest efforts to run the very best in-
stitution of it's kind.
The Bluewater Centre is a reality. The
dictionary gives a definition of neighbor as
"to associate with a neighbor in a friendly
way; be sociable."
Let's educate ourselves to realize we are
all human beings capable of both positive
and negative feelings. Three cheers for Dr
Kahn's letter this week.
Yours sincerely,
Susan Scott.
Tiger Dunlop Day was great fun
Dear editor,
I would like to write a letter of congratula-
tions to the group of people who made such a
success of Tiger Dunlop Day. We as a family
had a wonderful time.
The childrenenjoyed the morning ac-
tivities with the vegetable critters and bicy-
cle and wagon decorating contest and the
parade with the piper to the park.
The afternoon followed with a great deal
of enjoyment for one and all. The baby con-
test and old fashioned games followed by a
walk to the beach with the piper once again
were great. An historical touch was added
with the town criers and old fashioned dress
Reader
congratulates
Port Albert
Dear editor,
Would you please put a thank you in your
paper for the great weekend we had at Port
Albert for their 150 year celebration.
The committees in charge sure deserve a
lot of credit: I don't think they forgot a
thing.
Thank you very much
George`and Ilene Fritzley
and family
contest. Down at the beach there was a love-
ly ride on the boats and much much more!
In today's busy times and fast pace it is
such a great treat to have a relaxed, fun
family outing and to enjoy good times with
old and new friends and family.
It was a weli run and greatly appreciated
day! May I once again congratulate all the
people who made this day such a success.
We look forward to next year's celebration.
