Don't forget the Blood
Donor Clinic on Wednesday,
May 17 from 2 to 5 p.m. and
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This clinic
will be held at North Street
United Church instead of at
the high school as it has been
in the past. Please note this
change in location.
Organizers don't want to lose
any donors because of the
change.
The Goderich Kinsmen
Club is sponsoring, the clinic
and the Kinettes are helping
by offering a babysitting
service in- the afternoon for
those donors with children.
They will also be sending out
reminder cards to past
donors. First-time donors are
most welcome to the clinic.
In order not to lose any
student due to the location
change, the Red Cross will
use their mini bus to run a
shuttle service, transporting
students who want to give
blood, from the high school to
the church at 3:30.

May 15 to 19 is Police Week,
Today, tomorrow and
Saturday, there will be a
police display at Suncoast
Mall. Bill Wilson of the
Goderich O.P.P. detachment,
says police personnel will be
on hand to answer questions
and the public is cordiallly
invited to drop by. The
display will include a police
cruiser, two snowmobiles on
trailers ,and a police
motorcycle and operator
from Kitchener.Today only at
the display there will also be
a dog and dog handler from
the Mount Forest Canine
Unit.

It's good to know that
traffic -related deaths on
Ontario's roads dropped to
the lowest level since 1962,
according to statistics
released recently by Minister
of Transportation „and
Communications, James
Snow.
A total of 1,418 persons,
including 251 pedestrians,.
died in motor vehicle -related
accidents in 1977 -- a reduc-
tion of 6.2 per cent over the
1976 total of 1,511.
"I share the belief of many
policeand safety officials
that the seat -belt legislation
plus lower speed limits, are
having a noticeable effect on
the death statistics," said.
Snow.
"Even so, far too many
drivers ignore these life-
giving laws; as the growing
number of charges in-
dicates," he continued. "I
trust they will 'get the
message' when they see the
continuing reduction in
deaths on the highways since
these laws came into effect."
Where seat -belt use and
non -seat belt use were
available, indications were
that in an accident, the belt
wearer's survival chances
were 16 times- higher, said
Snow.
"While it's encouraging
that there were fewer deaths
on Ontario roads during 1977,
it doesn't change thereality
and tragedy of the total ac-
cident picture. The reality is
that any number of traffic
deaths is too many. There's
much room for•improvement
of our driving habits...from
the use of seatbelts and ob-
servance of the speed limits,
to the act of being alert
behind the wheel."

A Polish American choir
from Goderich's sister city,
Bay City, Michigan, is
coming to Goderich May 27
for one performance.
The choir is composed of 30-
40 high school students from
Bay City and area who will be
going to Poland 'later this
summer to entertain. The
youngsters will be paying
their own expenses to
Goderich and back, but are
looking for homes in which to
spend the two nights during
their stay here.
The choir will be arriving
May 26 and leaving May 28. -
Anyone with accommodation
to offer to these young people
could get in touch with Judge
F. G. Carter.

There is to be a second
printing of Memories of
Goderich. But there will be a
slight difference from the
original version. Included in
the new printing will be a
special Jubilee Three section.
The first printing of
Memories of Goderich is sold
out., The .,J,200 copies were
distribitted by December, ,20
last year.
It is expected the second
printing will be available f
the same price $21.95 - if
books are ordered now.
However, books that are not
ordered immediately and are,
purchased in a book store
later this year, will probably
cost around $23.95.
The committee is con-
sidering printing some ad-
ditional copies of just the
special Jubilee Three section,
which could be purchased
separately and added to the
existing copies of Memories
of Goderich. There should be
More on this later.
