of the core area of Goderich

visitors.

Fisher said that the in-

exposed to different thoughts
and attitudes of other
associations before forming
their local chapter,
' "We hope to bring -back
speakers to our meetings and
attend otherassociation
meetings to help us compare

objectives of forming the
association are to keep
abreast of building codes,

The group will hold its next
, meeting on April 18.
Bruce power plant

Total unit energy cost df
Ontario Hydro's Pickering
nuclear generating station,
east of Toronto, was 7.8 mills
a kilowatt-hour in 1976. This is
approximately one-half the
cost of operating Hydro's
most energy efficient -coal-
fired generating station. A
mill equals one-tenth- of a
cent.

AROUND THE WORLD
FOR A SHORTCUT
Betty and Bennie are
residents of Ridgewood Park
who send a copy of the
diagram to their friends Jack
and Jill who live in Windsor
and who are not familiar with
Goderich.
Come and see us, Betty and
Bennie wrote to their friends.
"We live on the north shore of
the Maitland River. Use the
diagram to get here".
Unfortunately, neither
Betty nor Bennie studied the
diagram before sending it to
Windsor.
Jack and Jill approached
Goderich from the south on
Highway 21.
Jill (navigating) to Jack
(driving: "Betty said that we
would have to drive through
town along Victoria Street.
The diagram says to continue
on Bayfield Road until we
reach Elgin Avenue, then
turn right for one block, then
turn left and we'll be on
Victoria."
Jack continues to drive
until he arrives at a "T"
intersection ' at which the.
street sign reads: Britannia
Rd. and Bayfield Road.
Jack (somewhat annoyed) :
"Drat it Jill, Can't you read a
map? This street is Britan-
nia, not Elgin!"
Jill (equally annoyed):
The diagram says,Elgin!"
Jack' must now make a
decision. His choices are
threefold :
1. Continue with deter-
mination straight ahead
through the houses in front of
him until' he finds the
depicted Elgin Ave;
•
Make a left turn and then
appear dumb because the
diagram clearly shows
Victoria Street to be to the
right _ of their present
position;
3. Assume that an error has
been made in naming the
streets on the diagram - that
the Elgin Ave. on the map is
in reality Britannia Rd.
(cursing the map -maker
throughout).
Jack assumes the latter
choice to be correct and, to
the blaring of the horns of the
twenty cats .now stopped
behind him, he confidently
turns right in his quest of
Victoria Street.
Twenty minutes later Jack
and Jill arrive at suburban
Holmesville.
Jack and Jil (together):
"Somebody goofed."
Not to be defeated, Jack
and Jill turn the car around
and head back to Goderich
and arrive safely,. They
continue on Highway 8 until
they find the missing Victoria
Street.
Having some time on their
'hands before their an-
ticipated arrival at the home
of friends Betty and Bernie,
Jack and Jill, who were
Jehovah's Witnesses, seek
the local Kingdom Hall.
Jill (confidently): "This
should be easy Jack. Just
drive along Victoria Street
until you see Judith
Gooderham Pool. Turn right
and continue for one block
and the Hall will be directly
east of the pool according to
the diagram!"
Needless to say, .resident
friends, the Kingdom Hall
was not to be found at that
location by Jack and Jill.
Still not to be defeated by
the difficulties of the
diagram, our visitors next
attempted to find the location
of two of their favorite sports
activities; lawn bowling for
Hill to seek seat
Amid Liberal and Con-
servative criticisms, Gordon
Hill,° former president of the
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture announced
Tuesday that he intends to
run as a candidate of the New
Democratic Party in the next
provincial election.
Hill, a Varna farrier, what
stepped down from the 23,000
-member Federation last
December, will contest the
Middlesex riding of
Progressive Conservative
Robert Eaton, parliamentary
assistant to Agriculture
Minister William Newman.
Liberal and Conservative
Jack and , roller skating for
J 111.
Jill (less confidently): I
think those sites should be
easy to find. The lawn
bowling place is on Elgin
Avenue just across from the
Pentecostal Tabernacle and
the arena is probably just a
little further south along
Waterloo Street.
Did they find their
destinations? No way!
Jill (confidence shaken):
"Perhaps you'd better
navigate Jack. I'll drive."
Jack (confidently): "Good
idea. I have more experience
at navigating than you have
anyway!" We still have some
time on our hands. Let's
check out the airport and the
harbour. We go over to
Victoria Street and drive
north until we come to North
Harbour Road. The airport
should be visible on the
floodplains of the river just
north of the golf course."
Did they see the airport
across from the golf course?
Nope!
Jack (less confidently) :
"Oh well, we can continue
along north Harbor Rd., cross
the river and we'll find the
harbour and the salt mine on
the north side of the river -
and that should be right near
our friends' place, right?
(The salt mine north of the
harljour? Both features north
of the river?? North Harbour
Road crossing the river???
Jack: "Oh Jill!"
Jill: "Oh Jack!"
Jack and Jill (both with
confidence ' destroyed and
weeping profusely) : "Betty
and Bernie have moved too!
Let's go up the hill and get
some water!"

critics see the NDP move to
get Hill, a dominant voice in
Ontario farmorganizations,
as a political ploy in at-
tracting the rural vote. There
is a Liberal feeling that NDP
have always lacked
credibility in not being able
to attract the rural vote.
'; Murray Gaunt,' Liberal
member for Huron -Bruce is
said tq.:have commented that
Hill is being used by the NDP.
Robert Eaton, who Hill will
face in the next election, said
he sees the Varna man simply
as an opportunist who would
have run for- any party that
would have him.
