Entertaihing Christmas concert held
BY BETTY HELESIC
Another most entertaining Christmas
Concert, sponsored by the Harbouraires,
was enjoyed by many Monday night at
North Street United Church.
The Harbouraires led off the evening with
many inspiring numbers, with conductor
Lorne Dotterer, and assistant conductor and
accompanist Paul Howe. Lorne, as well as
David Hamilton also accompanied some of
the selections.
The Knox Handbell choir brought heavy
applause from the audience after their three
delightful Christihas selections.
The MacKay Choristers gave a fine per-
formance, as they sang several numbers
under the direction of Irla Stewart. They
were accompanied by Joan Henwood.
The Goderich Laketown Band, under the
direction of Bruce Cookson, seem to im-
prove every time they perform. I'm sure
they had everyone in the Christmas spirit by
the time they finished their rendition of
several old favourites.
The performance. of Warren Robinson as
he narrated, 'The Brother Heinrich's
Christmas', certainly had everyone's atten-
tion. Don and Shirley McMillan added to this
enjoyable performance with the instrumen-
tal parts. The MacKay Choristers and the

special angel choir, which was the North
Street Junior Choir completed this most
entertaining number.
Several soloists took part, which added
that extra spire to a ' reat evening. The
soloists were Jim Baird, Bill Chase, Jean
Haply, Dave Medley and John De Jager.
Rev. R. Ball opened the program and also
gave an inspiring reading at the close.
Stock crash results uncertain
According to local investment con-
sultants, It is difficult to ascertain the im-
pact of the recent stock market woes, on
the Goderich economy.
Goderich insurance and financial con-
sultant, David Bending says the impact on
an individual is totally dependent on where
their money is invested.
"People in the high-risk investments
such as stocks and market speculation
really got nailed," Bending said. "This
market crash happened on the two worst
days irs-terms of market operation - a Fri-
day and a Monday, so people didn't know
how their investments werebeing
affected."
Bending said some people, chiefly those
who will be retiring soon, could be hurt if
their pensions were invested in the
market.
"The difficulty in talking about the con-
sequences of this crash on pensions is that
there are so many different types of plans
and so many rules governing the way they
can be operated."
Bending said no stock value is gained or
lost until it is sold. He advises people not to
be too quick in dumping their investments.
"If at all possible, people should try to wait
out this slump. The market is always in a
state of flux and will probably rebound."
He said people should be careful before
entering the market,. "Get a long-term in-
vestment strategy drawn up and don't put
all of your investment into. a single port-
folio," he said.
Frank Little of ABC Investments said
the pensions plans of some people may
already have been affected by the
downturn in the stock market.
"It is sad for a person about to retire,"
he, said. "they could lose out when their
money is transferred from their pension
plan, as they retire."
Again it must be cautioned that each
pension plan, and the use of them, differs.
In terms of the market crash impact on
other forms of investment, Goderich real
estate agent Maurice Gardiner said he has
not noticed any appreciable increase in
local real estate investment.
"I could certainly anticipate that people
might want to move into more real estate
investment, but in Goderich the real estate
industry seems to have remained at its
usual level."
Gardiner said that if people were shying
away from the stock market their invest-
ment in real estate would probably take
the form of the purchase of investment in-
come property such -as duplexes or
quadplexes.

of the spring session of the Ontario
Legislature, require that notice be given to
consumers before information from their
credit files can be examined to determine

Current legislation does not require that
consumers be notified that their file may

opportunity to ensure that the information
in their file is correct.
Wrye said the amendments "will protect
the integrity of consumers' credit files."
