Some of the signatures were

There is a sketch of a five
span wooden bridge which
was ruined by ice in 1903. A
three span iron bridge was
also taken down three or four
years ago. There are also
sketches of 'Indians, horses

the Eaton's catalogue of 1893,
old soda bottles, old sewing
machines, bears, wolves,
beavers, outside privies,

McLaren can build a story
around .each person and
object on his seven panel
sketch. Every detail on the
sketch symbolizes some
aspect of Benmiller's history.
It is a valuable piece of work
both. artistically and
historically. Serious thought
should be given to the idea of
making it intoia mural.

as with every one it was a
wonderful time to meet Old
friends.
It has been very gratifying
to every member of the
Jubilee 3 Committee to see
the crowds and the , ex-
citement and feel the ' co
operation of everyone in town
behind them. I'm sure all of
1
Goderich enjoyed this
celebration and appreciate
all the many hours spent in
planning and getting the show
on the road by that ,great
committee.
So now we can relax and
enjoy things at a slower pace.
We have the rest of the year
to talk about folks who were
here to those who did not see
them. So share your hap'p
chit chats with others a
Jubilee -3 will last the ful
year.
Today - July 14 the
Goderich Township
Recreation Committee have a
Pot Luck Barbecue ready at
Township• Lakeside Park a
week later if it rains!
The Rotary Club are still

Where you. apply for a Social In, surance
Number and what you need when you apply.
Where? Your local UIC office.What will you need?
Proof of your identity.
If you were born in Canada, you'll need a
primary document like a hirth certificate or
a baptismal certificate from Quebec. Naturalized
Canadians need their citizenship certificates.
If you're a landed immigrant you'll need your im-
migration papers.Originals or certified copies
are needed.
You'll also-rree'd secondary identification. It
can be something official with your ume:on
it, like a driver's licence or a school,.i-eport card.
Here photocopies are fine.
You don't want these important documents
lost or misplaced.That's why we ask you.. to
go, in person, to your local UIC office.They'll ap-
prove your documents on the spot, help you
with your application and send it to Ottawa.You
can take your documents home right away.
You'll get your Social Insurance Number card in
the mail.
If you can't get to a UIC office you can go to
a Canada Manpower Centre.Or you can mail
your application direct to Ottawa. But you'll have
to send original documents or certified
copies. And if there are problems with your ap-
plication or documents it's going to take
long er to iron them out than it would face to face
in a local office.
Establishing your identity is the best way to
make sure your Social Insurance Number
stays with the right person. And that's pretty
important.
