While it would °be—art
overstatement to say that the
thirties . was an age of -in-
nocence, certainly teenagers
of that era were more naive
than theircounterpart of
today. Perhaps it.. was. the
lack of money and mobility,
but very few teenagers drank
and: most of us could "not af-
ford to smoke cigarettes. We
were content to walk our
favourite girl' to the Park
theatre,, (double.., admission,.
50c) and after the movie to
drop in at Blackstone's or
Hogan's ice-cream parlour
for a sundae or milk shake.
' Saturday night was the big
._night for the teen -crowd,
dancing ai the"MPav to the
music of Tony 'Farr or Red
Ruch!. Fifteen cents admitted
'one to the Pav, but it cost a
nickle a dance, with the
crowd being swept off the
floor by young men with a
rope, after three or four
minutes of dancing. If a youth
watched his money carefully,
he could get by, with about a
dgllar a_night expenditure
As the decade neared its
end, war broke out in Europe
and singly or in pairs the
young men, and some young
women, joined the army,
navy or airforce and even-
tually went overseas to fight
the war -against Hitler. Some
didn't come back and are
buried omewhere in Eucope.
Most of -them did return to set
up in business, take a job in
factory or office, or further
their education.
Most joined the Legion, got
married, raised a family and
lived the good life, but
somehow, Goderich was
never quite the same again.
Yours very truly,
Gerry O'Brien

ECHOES FROM
THE FUTURE
High on a bluff, above a
inland sea
Mantled by tall stands of fi
and pine
There stands a town ' whic
has adopted me
A town I'm very proud to sa
is mine.
Like a mother draws a babe.
unto her breast
A river drew its founder to its
hea
Girding nowitthe town forever
blest
The Maitland and its bounty
plays its part.
High on a hill a lighthous
beamrts s light
Guiding those who may now
be in need

wait the night.
Until the gale has passed the
may proceed.

r Hamilton Wigle
Dear Editor,.
On Page 60 of : the Signal -
Star sesquicentennial edition
is a group picture ac-
companying the Acheson
story, and showing a. young
man named Hamilton Wigle,
not otherwise identified.
He was„ in fact, a graduate
of Goderich Collegiate, or-
dained a minister in London
Conference of the,. Methodist
Church, married a Goderich
e girl, and after serving many
pastorates became principal
of • Mount Allison Ladies'
College, Sackville, N.B.
Records in United. Church
archives, Toronto, show that
Wigle was born on a farm
near Ruthven, Essex county,
of U.E.L. stock, and attended
high school in Windsor and
Goderich. Graduating B.A.
from Victoria University,
Toronto, in 1889, he was or-
dained in June of that year
and in August married'
Emma Cox, daughter of
George Cox, editor of the
Huron Signal.
For his first -charge, Rev.
Mr. Wigle went back to South
Mersea, in Essex, then to
Carman, Manitoba; Zion,
Winnipeg; Regina for • two
years, then superintendent of
All People's City Mission in
Winnipeg. After a second
term of three years at Zion,
Winnipeg, he moved to,
Amherst, N.S. and Wesley
Smith Memorial in Halifax
before appointment to Mount
Allison. While there, he
received in 1919 the degree of
D.D. from Wesley College,
Winnipeg. He retired, in 1933
and died Jan. 7, 1934.
Dr. Wigle travelled widely,
visiting all continents except
Australia, and spent two
weeks an Palestine. He
published several books of his
own poetry. He was president
of Saskatchewan Conference
in 1904 and of Nova Scotia
Conference in 1916, and was ansa
member of the first General
Council of the United Church
of Canada..
The W igles had four
daughters: Pearl, Ruby, Opal
and Garnet. Nothing about
them survives in the archive's
except that Miss R.M.,
presumably Ruby, was ad-
mitted to the Bar at Osgoode
Hall in 1.926.
W.E. Elliott
And. here with freedom all
can kneel to pray
Beneath a plainer 'fool or
slender steeple spire
As in -the days of old and yet
so fresh today
We say our thanks or sing
them as a choir.
And treasures of our past, our
yesteryear '
Preserved in old museums
and a jail
By forbears who with insight
` bold and clear
Determined that our heritage
prevail.
Where jurisdiction is a thing
of pride
Oppression is unheard of in
our laws
Approachable policemen are
our guide
And service clubs work
miracles for a cause.
And sport abounds through
each and every season
Sailing on the lake or skating
free
Good schools stand head high
and -with good reason
They offer each, what all
would want to be.
And so, to coin a phrase, let us
not ask
What can my Goderich ever
do for me
But lend your heart and hand
unto the task
And make a sound success of
Jubilee.
And so in time, when all of us
are clay
High on a bluff above an
inland sea
May Goderich' folk be heard
to clearly say
God. Bless all those who saved
it all for me.
