The Goderich Signal-Star, 1977-01-27, Page 4- • ,
Ith, Memorial. Arena fund
raising, goal has finally- been met. It
took. close, to seven months, but the
money needed to bring. the arena roof
UP: i to standards has finally been
gathered up. Certainly there are many
folks In and around this town who will
be heaving a great sigh of relief.
Now that it is all over, a few things
should be said in retrospet.
First of alt, the indiviciu I citizens ot
Goderich who dug irito their
pockets for _hard, -cold ash during_ the
canvass Jest summer should have the
commendation of the entire coM-
munity. These are the men and Women-
- the families - who cared enough for
their town to help when the chips were
down.
Sadly, there weren't too many
Goderich and area citizens in this
class. A good many chose to keep -their
billfolds zippered, offering instead
criticism and- cynicism as the cam-
paign dragged on.

And finally, sincere appreciation

gratitude. „

Another look
Huron County Council members are
still debating about which day to have
their meetings. It has been suggested
that Fridays are bad days for .urban
businessmen elected to county council
but when it came to a show of hands at
the last meeting, only nine county
councillors out of 45 indicated their
support for the Thursday meeting
„suggested as an alternative to Friday.
Thirteen members voted for a Friday
session and the rest of council probably
was unconcerned.
The debate was initiated tate in 1976
when the county administratior Bill
Hanly suggested to council he'd heard
some comments that Friday meeting
dates made service on county council
almost impossible. for urban
• businessmen, while it has never been
established just how many urban -type
businessmen are already on county
council, it does seem that the majority
of the county elected officials are
• perfectly satisfied with the Friday
sessions.
interestingly enough, this newspaper
has been pointing out for years that
, because of the nature of county
• meetings - their time in particular -
many, many citizens are prevented
from aspiring to county office. The
county's habit ,of day -time meetings,
immediately hampers working people
from serving as a reerib or a deputy -
reeve in his or her municipality. One
must be Self-employed or retired .to
give full attention to county matters.
Now it appears that even some of the
self-employed residents of Huron are
unable to serve because the meetings
fall on Friday, heavy business days as
everyone knows. That makes selection
for county office so much more
restricted.
Huron is basically an agricultural
county, of course, and by far the
greatest majority of the membership
on county council comes from the
townships. While' farming is the.
--foremost industry- in - the -countyr-and- -
farmers are certainly businessmen in
the real sense of the word,. county
representatives from the rural areas
may not see the need to switch to
meeting times which are -more con-
dutiveto the person making a living by
working eight hours a day, five days a
week in an urban setting.
With five towns and five villages in
Huron- County having a total
representation of 15 member there is
reason for the county's e ye,
committee to take a serious -lc •-riot
only the days on which meetings are
held, but the hours at which they are
conducted: in the interest of the best
possible county government, it may be
prudent to consider whether the
greatest needs of al) the people are
being me,t when so many_potential
candidatet-for office are swiftly, and'
surely cut from the ballot.. because
meeting times are unsuitable. SJK
Safety first
Last week this newspaper carried a
story about a Goderich youngster who
suffered a broken leg when he darted
out from between two snow banks into
the path of a car. This week's news has
another story, this • time from
Dungannon, involving a little girl who
was injured when she darted out from
between two parked cars into the path
of an oncoming vehicle.
Drivers at this, time of year are, of
course, reminded to be especially
Careful on 'the road. Weather con-
----ditions-being-What-ther-arordriiiing
becomes' more of art ordeal and
stopping quickly becomes more of a
challenge;
More than this, though, it is par-
ticularly important .for parents to
caution their children about the
dangers of playing or walking in the
- snow-covered, slippery streets'.
Children should be shown - actually
•
•
given a demonstration of how difficult
it is to stop a car in a great hurry to
avoid an accident. They should have it
explained to them how drivers can be,
alert and careful and still unable to
prevent a collision if something moves
quickly into their path.
Children should be warned not to ;.
play on the top of snowbanks piled
• along the street. , Many adults have -
held _their breath' as children have
played -,,their death -defying games Off
the roadside banks and directly into
,--the-4reaeharous-streetsr-------On
