The Venerable Archdeacon D.A.P. Smith officiated the service and paid tribute to the life of Mr. Deorksen. He was born in Kitchener in,1938to George and Catherine Deorksen. The son-in-law of Rose Hill of Goderich he was married to the former Pauline Hill of Goderich in 1966. He is survived by his parents, wife, two sons Peter, 10 and Paul, eight, and one sister, Gloria, of K itchener. Goderich and area people are also fortunate to have the symphony concerts come to them during the winter months. These are brought to the area by The Sully Foundation and the Rotary Club in co-operation with The London Symphony Orchestra. The London Symphony, of course, has a• very successful series of concerts in London each year. Also in London one can see the National Ballet at least once during the season. Ballet and opera, two art forms that have delighted audiences throughout the world for years are just beginning to catch the fancy of Canadians. Perhaps this is because Canadians have been too busy carving a country out of ,the rough fertile soil which is Canada to be pothered with such cultural pursuits. Or maybe Canadians ahve been developing their own unique culture without paying enough attention to the well established -and truly beautiful art forms which have stood the test of time. Whatever the reason, only recently has the National Ballet risen to any prominence even at home. Surely there are only a handful of Goderich and area citizens who have ever seen the National Ballet perform or in fact any ballet company on stage except perhaps via television. The Goderich affiliate of the Ontario Arts Council is doing its bit locally to acquaint people with the world of entertainment provided by the• visual and performing arts, So is the Rotary Club fostering an awareness and an ap- preciation for something other than what is normally available for entertainment in small towns like Goderich. We're beginning to grow a little - culturally speaking. There's plenty of opportunity right here in Goderich as well as within easy driving distance. Something for every budget and every taste. Have a bash at something new this season, won't you. He attended school in Kitchener and remained there to become a professional golfer under the tutelage of the late Norman Himes of Westmount Golf and Country Club. His golf career took him to Toronto, the London Hunt Club, the Maitland Golf and Country Club in Goderich and Fox - wood Golf Club in Baden. In 1975 he regained his amateur status in golf and was a popular and active member of the North Bay Golf and Country Club. He was an employee of Cham- pion Road Machinery Ltd., in North Bay. Goderich eligible The town of Goderich learned recently that it is eligible for up to $600,000 in federal and provincial money under the federal -provincial Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP). An an- nouncement Tuesday by Urban Affairs Minister Andre Ouellet and Ontario Housing Minister John Rhodes allocated 38 Ontario municipalities sharing almost $26 million in government funds. NIP was launched throughout Canada in 1973 to help municipalities improve and conserve residential areas. The money is to be used to upgrade -hard services in designated areas and to improve social and recreational services. The program requires a municipality to designate an area for NIP funds and to outline work in hard services (roads, sewers and sidewalks) and soft services (parks and recreational areas). Goderich applied for NIP funds in the spring of 1977 designating its north-west residential area for im- provement. The area is roughly hounded by Highway 8, Highway 21 and the the Maitland River. It was divided into three phases to complete the necessary work and is hoped to be handled over a five year span. The program requires a municipality to match government funds dollar for dollar for hard services and to pay 25 percent of the cost of soft services. Town council has arranged a meeting with a NIP spokesman Monday night to explain terms of the program and to advise council how it can administer the project. The federal portion of the $600,000 is $400,000 and the remainder is the provincial contribution. Jol tithe pm team You'll like the company. Enquire now foran exclusive franchise for this area.

Communications system • from !Age 1 County "a hodge podge system" which is not police oriented. "Your people don't even have access to a computer installed in 1973." he said. If the centralized system is not accepted, Fraser said, "the only ones who will lose out are your ratepayers; they are the ones who suffer from poor police work." He continued that, "it is a matter of the members of represented municipal councils of Huron County to decide whether or not they wish to embark on such a system but this decision must be made soon from an economic point of view." He said that further delay would_ not only increase costs but also jeopardize the police and population of Huron County, particularly in view of the current system. "I recommend that an immediate decision be made toward supporting a County Police Radio System based in Goderich or withdrawing from such a scheme and allow Goderich to carry on with their own system," he said. He added that it would be expensive but concluded that, "you may have to scratch to do it but it's easier to scratch now than in a few years.' Goderich Mayor Deb Shewfelt said the idea of a centralized police communications system had died at the County level in Exeter in 1974 and added, "I would hate to see it die again tonight in this building." Shewfelt urged that a polling or basic decision be made at the meeting regarding the system. He suggested that the council members present at the meeting could then put the question to their individual councils at their next town council sessions. "It's a matter of saying, YES we're going to go with it," said Shewfelt. "To go with it would be wisest," said Fraser. "The Ontario Police Commission (OPC) is waiting for a letter and it has to be received soon or the grant may be lost." Clinton mayor Harold Lobb said, "We'd like to progress along with the rest for something better. Hopefully we can bring an answer after the next council meeting and I hope it's to go.,0...r,;,.charges, staff salaries and common radio ahead with the system." equipment like towers and that the individual Seaforth mayor Betty Cardinal said, "I think communitieg would be responsible only for the we should have an answer by next month." radio equipment utilized directly by that Force. Shewfelt said, "It's a people service. If the cost He. said initial purchase should be done centrally is based on a population basis, I'm sure council to take advantage of bulk purchase discounts. would back it." He added that a motion to accept Fraser estimated that changing to the new the new system would probably only be passed on the condition that financial assistance be received from the OPC. • All town officials present agreed to go ahead to each of their five individual councils, then take the council reply to their chiefs of police who would then collectively write a letter to the OPC. LOCATION OF HEADQUARTERS "I would like to see that green light," said Fraser. Once the five municipalities agree to accept the centralized system, the next question to be settled will be the location of its headquarters. Fraser suggested that Goderich would be the best location. While Clinton is more central, he said, Goderich has a larger police and office staff and to centre the system in Clinton would mean enlarging the present police offices there. "The only justification to locate in Clinton," said Fraser, "is a monthly cost advantage of $249.45 at this time and although the cost savings are rather substantial, there are other con- siderations and this problem must be resolved by the communities." Clinton mayor Harold Lobb made it clear that his town still feels that it should have the com- munications headquarters. "I didn't come to argue with you; I just want to assure you we would be happy to have that communications system in Clinton." He added that Clinton would not expect the other municipalities to share in the costs of renovations for the location of the system. The cost of the communications centralization would be shared by the five municipalities if all agreed to the system. Initial costs of about $70,000 for establishing the system, including new radios, monitors and radio towers would cost the large municipalities of Goderich)Exeter and Wingham up to $14,700 each, while Clinton and Seaforth would pay up to $12,950 each. But the provincial grants would cover about 75 per cent of each municipality's share. Fraser said that Huron County could move up on the list for grant eligibility because a feasibility study had already been carried out. The change would mean hiring five additional staff. The five chiefs would come together to choose or hire dispatchers and lay out rules and regulations. 'Fraser suggested that all com- munities share in the cost of monthly telephone system would take until about Rine Of 11171 the new system is established, Fraser sato offs could be made with other emer vices such assetting the $freadditional cDepartmeng?RSy`, bulancees by up hap e� No reconstructio this year on 21 A letter from th Ministry rstry of Transppra' and Communications has advised townco; will be impossible to provide the funds toe widening of Highway 21 south this year The letter did state, however, that the would budget.eahigh priority" item in nej Councillor Dave Gower of the Werkg Engineering Committee, one of the gr boosters for the Highway 21 program, said committee had sent a letter to the M reminding the government of the year, planning which have gone already tow d, work on Highway 21.

Committee to study takeove A special committee of selected town members and PUC commissioners Milli as a study group for the takeover of the'' filtration plant from the Department Environment. Jim Searls, a well known PUC cri Goderich, was present at the council m., Monday evening and suggested during citizens' question and answer period thattbe manager of the PUC, to begin duties Nov 1, 1977, should head up the committee. According to Searls, Al Lawson i1 acquainted with such matters, particularly he was PUC manager in Strathroy whe. town purchased the water filtration plant operated it. "His qualifications are good," said "Believe me, I've checked into them," Council agreed it would be up to theP name the people to serve on the committee among its ranks.
